Bayz 101

Bayz 101 is a fully furnished residential tower by Danube Properties, situated in Business Bay and scheduled for handover in June 2028. The project comprises 151 units across a single building, with pricing running from approximately AED 1.59 million to AED 4.89 million.

# The tower and its position in Business Bay

Business Bay occupies the southern edge of Downtown Dubai, separated from it by little more than a canal crossing. It is a dense, high-rise district, and Bayz 101 fits that typology: a tall tower on a central plot, oriented to capture sightlines across the canal, Sheikh Zayed Road and the Downtown skyline including the Burj Khalifa.

Construction began recently, with the project currently at 8.3 per cent completion. Handover is set for June 2028, placing it within the mid-cycle pipeline of Dubai's current off-plan market.

The Business Bay metro station is a two-minute walk from the building. For a district that can feel car-dependent during peak hours, that proximity carries real practical weight.

# Residences, layouts and finish

The 151 units span studios, one-bedroom, two-bedroom and three-bedroom configurations. Studios are sized at approximately 373 sq ft. One-bedroom apartments run to around 753 sq ft. Two-bedroom units occupy a broader range, from roughly 1,054 sq ft to 1,156 sq ft depending on layout, and the three-bedroom residences reach 1,492 sq ft.

All apartments are delivered fully furnished, a format Danube has standardised across several of its recent towers. Kitchens are equipped, and finishes are described by the developer as premium specification with high-quality materials. Buyers should verify exact finish schedules against the sales and purchase agreement, as furnished delivery schemes vary in the grade of inclusions.

Service charges are estimated at AED 18 to 20 per sq ft annually.

# Amenities across the building

The amenity list is broad for a 151-unit scheme. An infinity pool and indoor gym anchor the recreational offer. Beyond those, the building includes a tennis court, golf simulator, bowling centre, swing area, salon and library. A business centre is also available, which fits the district's professional resident profile.

# A note on scale

With 151 units sharing this range of facilities, demand on amenity spaces should remain manageable compared with larger developments in the same postcode. That ratio is a reasonable counterpoint to the service charge level.

# Connectivity and the surrounding district

Business Bay borders Downtown Dubai to the north and connects south along Sheikh Zayed Road toward DIFC and Al Quoz. The Dubai Canal runs through the district, linking it to Jumeirah via the waterway and the pedestrian bridges along its banks.

The metro access is the defining infrastructure advantage here. The Red Line station puts Mall of the Emirates within four stops and Dubai Mall within two, without touching a car or a taxi app. For internationally mobile residents who travel frequently through Terminal 1 or Terminal 3, the metro line also connects through to Union Station and the broader network.

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

Bayz 101 occupies the mid-range of Business Bay's price curve. Studios from AED 1.59 million and two-bedrooms from roughly AED 2.96 million place it below the Canal-front trophy inventory but above the older, smaller secondary-market stock in the district.

The furnished delivery and central metro access make the building a straightforward case for investors targeting the short-term or corporate rental market. Business Bay draws a consistent pool of professional tenants and relocating executives, and a sub-1,500 sq ft fully furnished apartment near a metro station is easy to place.

Owner-occupiers purchasing from Europe or Asia will find the format practical for a pied-à-terre, given that furnished delivery removes the logistical overhead of fitting out a property from abroad. The June 2028 completion date gives buyers a four-year payment window, though the construction programme is still in its early stages and progress should be monitored accordingly.
