Sports Tower

Sports Tower on Hessa Street in Dubai Sports City is a completed residential tower by Uniestate Properties, handed over in 2017 and home to 154 apartments positioned above a rooftop sports and spa floor.

# The Tower and Its Position in Dubai Sports City

Dubai Sports City sits in the southern arc of new Dubai, a planned district built around the Dubai International Stadium and the Els Club golf course. The area was conceived as a self-contained neighbourhood, and Sports Tower occupies a logical place within it: a single residential building whose upper floors look out over the fairways of the Els Club and the low-rise skyline that characterises the district.

The building is fully complete and operational, with no construction risk for buyers or tenants. Its service charge runs at 17 AED per square foot, a figure worth benchmarking against comparable mid-rise stock in the area when running yield calculations.

# 154 Apartments, Golf Views and a Rooftop Amenity Floor

The project holds 154 apartments across a range of configurations, with two-bedroom layouts offering golf course and skyline views from multiple aspects. The developer used certified manufacturers throughout the build, and the original specification included equipped kitchens and quality finishes, which positions the building in the middle-to-upper band of the Sports City stock.

# The top floor

The rooftop level is dedicated entirely to a sports and spa zone. Two swimming pools, a gym and a sauna sit at elevation, which means residents have open views while using the facilities rather than looking into an internal courtyard. That detail is less common in this price bracket than it should be.

The apartments are unfurnished, leaving incoming buyers or tenants to fit out to their own standard.

# On-Site Amenities: Functional Rather Than Excessive

The amenities list is focused: gym, swimming pools and sauna. There is no spa treatment suite, no co-working lounge, no padel court. For buyers who value low service charges and minimal shared infrastructure to maintain, that restraint is a practical advantage. The 17 AED per square foot charge reflects it.

Security runs around the clock, the building carries motion detection systems, and basement parking is included. High-speed internet infrastructure is built in, which matters for tenants working from home.

# A District Built for an Active Resident Profile

Dubai Sports City was designed with a particular resident in mind: someone who uses sporting infrastructure as a weekly habit rather than an occasional amenity. The Els Club golf course sits adjacent to the community. The Dubai International Stadium hosts international cricket and other major events within walking distance. Tennis academies, football pitches and cycling routes are woven through the district plan.

The community also connects to the broader city without excessive commute times, with Hessa Street providing arterial access toward Motor City, Jumeirah Village Circle and onward to Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road.

# What Sports Tower Represents for a Buyer in 2024

Sports Tower is a complete, income-generating asset in a district that has matured considerably since the building's 2017 handover. It is not a speculative off-plan play. It suits a buyer seeking a yield-producing apartment in a low-density, sports-oriented community, or a GCC or European end-user who wants an established building with a proven track record and no construction wait.

The absence of current listings reflects demand absorption rather than illiquidity. Buyers tracking Sports City specifically should register interest and monitor for resale availability, particularly in the two-bedroom segment where the golf course orientation makes individual units meaningfully different from one another.
