Dubai

Business Bay

Business Bay is Dubai Properties' mixed-use district immediately south of Downtown Dubai, built around the Dubai Water Canal and lined with over 200 residential, commercial and mixed-use towers. It suits professionals and investors wanting a central, metro-connected base close to Burj Khalifa without Downtown pricing. The Red Line's Business Bay station and the canal promenade give it a working-city feel rather than a resort one. Studio-to-penthouse stock and strong rental demand from the nearby business district keep both end-users and buy-to-let investors interested.
