Al Habtoor Tower

Al Habtoor Tower is a residential skyscraper in Business Bay, developed by Al Habtoor Group as part of Al Habtoor City, the mixed-use compound positioned along the Dubai Water Canal adjacent to Sheikh Zayed Road. The tower holds 74 residences across a single building, with completion scheduled for Q3 2026 and construction currently 71.3 per cent complete.

# The tower and its position within Al Habtoor City

Al Habtoor City is an established address. The compound already houses three five-star hotels and La Perle by Dragone, the resident theatrical production that has run continuously since 2017, giving the site an amenity base that most standalone residential towers cannot replicate. Al Habtoor Tower adds a residential component to that ecosystem, sitting on the canal edge with sightlines toward the Burj Khalifa and the broader Downtown skyline.

The scale of the project is deliberately restrained. Seventy-four residences in a single tower means the building avoids the anonymity of the large-scale developments that have defined much of Business Bay's recent history. Service charges are set at 16 AED per square foot.

# Residences, layouts and specification

The range runs from one-bedroom apartments through to a five-bedroom unit of 9,081 square feet, priced at AED 61.87 million. Entry-level one-bedroom residences begin at approximately AED 2.6 million, with floor areas from around 872 square feet, though the majority of one-bedroom configurations sit between 1,144 and 1,497 square feet, priced from AED 3.38 million upward.

Two-bedroom apartments occupy 1,350 to 2,025 square feet, with prices from AED 4.43 million. Three-bedroom residences show the widest spread: 1,857 to 5,034 square feet, and a price range of AED 6.7 million up to AED 33 million, reflecting both floor position and layout differences.

All units are semi-furnished. Each floor carries a distinct floor plan, which means no two apartments on consecutive levels are identical in configuration. Balconies are standard across the range. Kitchens and bathrooms are fitted with appliances and hardware included.

# Amenities within the building

The in-building amenity list covers multiple gyms and fitness spaces, padel tennis courts, and a spa with steam and sauna facilities. The infinity pools, positioned to capture a 270-degree arc of the Dubai skyline, sit among the more architecturally considered features. A sports café and a sky restaurant round out the food and beverage offering within the tower itself.

Children's play areas are also provided, designed with safety specifications in mind. The connection to the broader Al Habtoor City infrastructure, including its waterfront promenade and existing hospitality venues, extends the practical amenity count considerably beyond what the tower delivers on its own floors.

# Distance to key points across the city

Business Bay places Al Habtoor Tower within 6.4 kilometres of Downtown Dubai. Jumeirah Beach sits 4.7 kilometres away, as does Bay Avenue Mall. Al Safa Park is 3.4 kilometres from the site. Horizon English School Dubai is 4.9 kilometres distant, relevant for families considering the address as a primary residence. Dubai International Airport is 16.5 kilometres away.

The canal-side position also connects residents to the RTA water taxi network, which runs between Business Bay and Dubai Marina, offering an alternative to road travel during peak hours.

# Who this building suits, and where it sits in the current market

Al Habtoor Tower occupies a specific position in the Business Bay supply chain. The 74-unit count keeps the building out of the high-volume segment, while the price ceiling of AED 61.87 million for the five-bedroom residence signals that the developer is addressing buyers well above the mid-market.

For international buyers, particularly those from the UK, Europe and GCC who already treat Dubai as a second-home market, the semi-furnished specification and the managed environment of Al Habtoor City reduce the friction of remote ownership. The existing hotel infrastructure on the same site means concierge, dining and maintenance services are already operational, rather than promised at a future handover date.

Construction standing at 71.3 per cent with a Q3 2026 target offers a relatively short remaining timeline for an off-plan commitment, which tends to suit buyers who want visibility on delivery without waiting for a project still in early stages.
