Creek Bay

Creek Bay is a residential development by Emaar situated in Ras Al Khor, on the waterfront of Dubai Creek Harbour, comprising two buildings and 39 apartments across one, two and three-bedroom configurations. The project is currently under construction and available for purchase.

# Two buildings on the Creek Harbour waterfront

Dubai Creek Harbour is one of the more ambitious urban projects in the emirate's recent history: an eight-square-kilometre district built along the historic Dubai Creek, conceived as a mixed-use destination anchored by water, open space and density of a different character to Downtown or the Marina. Creek Bay sits within this district, with two mid-rise buildings positioned to address the creek itself.

The scale is deliberately intimate for an Emaar release. Thirty-nine units across two buildings gives the project a quieter residential register than the developer's larger tower launches in the same district. For buyers who have looked at Dubai Creek Harbour but found the volume of some developments off-putting, the arithmetic here is different.

# Residences: layouts from 737 sq ft to just over 1,859 sq ft

The range is straightforward. One-bedroom apartments start at 737 sq ft, with the smallest units priced from approximately AED 1.80 million. Two-bedroom apartments span a wider band, from around 1,246 sq ft to 1,451 sq ft depending on the specific unit, with prices running from AED 3.28 million to just under AED 5.0 million. Three-bedroom apartments sit at roughly 1,855 to 1,859 sq ft, priced between AED 5.66 million and AED 5.91 million.

Kitchens are fitted as standard. Otherwise, apartments are delivered unfurnished, giving buyers a blank interior to specify without working around existing furniture packages or developer-chosen finishes they would immediately replace.

Service charges are quoted at AED 22 to 23 per sq ft annually, which buyers should factor into yield modelling alongside purchase price.

# Amenities: fitness, water and outdoor space

The amenity provision covers the practical bases without overreach. There are two pools: a main swimming pool and a separate kids' pool with an adjacent play area. Fitness is split between an indoor gym and an outdoor gym, with a yoga studio and a basketball court also on site. A garden area and a multipurpose zone round out the shared facilities.

The outdoor gym and yoga studio, positioned alongside water-facing gardens, reflect the broader design logic of Creek Harbour as a district oriented towards open-air living rather than purely interior amenity.

# A district built around Dubai Creek and its connections

Ras Al Khor as an address has historically been associated with the wildlife sanctuary at its southern edge, a flamingo habitat that sits within minutes of the development. Dubai Creek Harbour itself is served by the creek's water transport infrastructure, and the district's masterplan includes retail and dining provision that continues to expand as construction across the wider zone progresses.

The proximity to Ras Al Khor Road and Al Khail Road places the development within a reasonable drive of Downtown Dubai and Dubai International Airport, relevant for buyers who travel frequently or maintain properties in multiple cities.

# Who Creek Bay suits, and what the pricing reflects

At AED 1.80 million for entry and AED 5.91 million at the top, Creek Bay occupies a position that GCC and European buyers with moderate-to-serious Dubai budgets will recognise as mid-market Emaar, not the developer's flagship price point but carrying the same construction pedigree.

The 39-unit count is the defining characteristic. For a buyer seeking an Emaar address in a district with long-term capital logic, but preferring a building with fewer neighbours and a less transient atmosphere, the project's limited scale is its clearest argument. Whether the surrounding district delivers on its broader vision in the years ahead will shape resale performance as much as the units themselves.
