The Edge

The Edge is a twin-tower residential development by Select Group, situated in Business Bay and scheduled for handover in Q3 2026. Currently 77 per cent complete, the project delivers unfurnished apartments across two buildings, with a service charge banded at 14–16 AED per square foot.

# The twin towers and their position in Business Bay

Business Bay sits immediately south of Downtown Dubai, separated from it by the Dubai Canal. It is a district that has matured considerably over the past decade, moving well beyond its original office-led identity to accommodate a layered mix of hotels, restaurants and mid-to-high-density residential stock. The Edge occupies this context deliberately.

The two towers are positioned to ensure that principal outlooks face outward rather than inward. The architectural language is defined by contrast: bold colour palettes set against cleaner structural lines, giving the buildings a character that reads differently from the neutral glass-and-steel defaults common to the district. At 77 per cent construction progress, the form is largely resolved and visible on site.

# Residences, layouts and specification

Select Group has not published granular unit data for The Edge in the current sales cycle, partly because the project is recorded as out of stock at the time of writing. What the developer has confirmed is a programme of one- and two-bedroom apartments, unfurnished, with kitchens fitted and equipped on handover.

Views are a material consideration here. Depending on the floor and orientation, residents face the Burj Khalifa, the Dubai Canal, or the Business Bay basin itself. Few positions in this part of the city offer that combination from a single building, let alone across two towers that share a podium.

# An amenity floor built around movement

The Edge leans into an active lifestyle offer rather than a passive one. The amenity suite runs to a gym, an outdoor fitness area, a sprint track, and a padel court, alongside a yoga deck. That is an unusual concentration of sport-specific infrastructure for a mid-market residential project.

Social infrastructure is also present. A games room, BBQ area, lounge and Jacuzzi sit alongside the main swimming pool, giving the podium enough range to function across different moods and times of day. None of it is oversized or aspirationally listed; the footprint matches what two towers of this scale can reasonably sustain.

# Distances that matter in daily life

Bay Avenue Park is 600 metres away, accessible on foot. Bay Avenue Mall, which includes a supermarket and food and beverage retail, sits roughly 700 metres from the building, a four-minute drive. Learning Tree Nursery is three minutes by car, at 650 metres, which matters to the family buyers that Business Bay increasingly attracts.

The Burj Khalifa and the Downtown core are 2.5 kilometres away, a seven-minute drive under normal conditions. Jumeirah Open Beach is further, at 6.9 kilometres, but remains within 20 minutes, placing the waterfront within casual weekend reach without requiring a highway commitment.

# Who The Edge suits, and where it sits in the current market

Select Group has a consistent track record in Business Bay, and The Edge reflects their standard positioning: architect-directed exteriors, active amenity programming, and a price point that targets owner-occupiers and yield-focused investors in roughly equal measure. With handover set for Q3 2026 and construction well advanced, the execution risk is limited by Dubai's off-plan standards.

For international buyers weighing Business Bay against Downtown or Dubai Marina, the district offers comparable connectivity at a lower entry cost per square foot, with the canal providing the kind of natural boundary that keeps density from feeling oppressive. The Edge, with its dual-tower scale and sport-centred amenities, suits a buyer who values proximity to the city's commercial core but expects the building itself to carry a residential identity of its own.
