The Ritz-Carlton Residences

The Ritz-Carlton Residences, developed by Kappa Acca Real Estate Development in Business Bay, is a single tower of twelve fully furnished homes positioned along the Dubai Water Canal, with completion scheduled for June 2027.

# The Tower and Its Setting in Business Bay

At just twelve residences, this is one of the most deliberately limited releases in Business Bay's recent development history. The tower sits on the canal waterfront, a position that separates it from the district's inland blocks and places it within a quieter register of the neighbourhood, despite Business Bay's reputation as a high-density commercial address.

Business Bay has matured considerably over the past decade. What began as a predominantly office-led district now carries a credible residential identity, with waterfront promenades, dining along the canal edge, and proximity to Downtown Dubai making it genuinely liveable for full-time residents rather than just convenient for investors. Marasi Drive Park, three minutes by car, anchors the canal-side public realm.

Construction is past the halfway mark, with readiness recorded at 50.6 per cent. The escrow registration number is 994000031645.

# Residences: Layouts, Scale and Finish

The twelve homes are configured across three, four and six-bedroom layouts. Three-bedroom residences run from approximately 3,318 to 3,385 square feet, priced from AED 15.99 million. Four-bedroom homes occupy 5,629 to 6,583 square feet, with asking prices between AED 26.1 million and AED 34.9 million. The six-bedroom residences reach 12,680 to 12,853 square feet and are priced from AED 30.3 million.

All residences are delivered fully furnished. Interior specification includes oak flooring across living areas, marble in the kitchens and bathrooms, and floor-to-ceiling glazing that frames views toward the Downtown Dubai skyline. Each home includes a private deck fitted with a plunge pool, a practical distinction from the shared-pool arrangements that define most of the district's high-rise stock.

The furnishing package, combined with the Ritz-Carlton service affiliation, positions these homes as turn-key acquisitions. Buyers arrive with nothing to source.

# Amenities Reserved for Twelve Households

The ratio of facilities to residents is, by any measure, skewed in the residents' favour. A spa, swimming pool, private theatre, cigar room, library, and resident-only café are available to a building of twelve homes.

# The full amenity list

The gym, barbecue area, kids' play area, and meeting room round out what is effectively a full-service members' club that happens to be a residential address. The meeting room is a detail worth remarking on: this is a building oriented toward principals who may work from home or require a discreet space to host without leaving the building.

# Location: Canal-Side Position with Direct City Access

Downtown Dubai sits 4.5 kilometres away, reachable in around nine minutes by car. Dubai International Airport is 15.6 kilometres out, a sixteen-minute drive under normal conditions. Jumeirah Beach is twelve minutes in the other direction. Dubai International School is four minutes beyond Downtown, at 4.1 kilometres.

The canal position means residents have a walkable waterfront without the commute pressures that come with addresses further from the centre. Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Khail Road are accessible without passing through any single bottleneck, which matters to buyers accustomed to timing their days around traffic.

# Who This Building Is Designed For

Twelve residences across a single tower is a structure that appeals to a particular kind of buyer: one who values controlled proximity to neighbours as much as the specification of their own home. The Ritz-Carlton brand brings a service infrastructure that most private residential addresses cannot replicate independently, including anticipated maintenance standards and a hospitality-trained approach to resident relations.

For internationally mobile buyers, the fully furnished delivery removes the friction of fitout management from abroad. For GCC buyers seeking a primary residence that carries genuine canal frontage without the volume of a larger development, the position and scale are both rare for Business Bay. At AED 19.6 million to AED 30.3 million across the listed range, the pricing reflects a building that has no interest in competing on volume.
