About 17 Icon Bay Tower 2

17 Icon Bay Tower 2 is a five-storey residential building that forms part of the wider 17 Icon Bay development on Creek Island, the central island district of Dubai Creek Harbour. The complex sits inside the Emaar Properties-led Dubai Creek Harbour masterplan, one of the emirate’s largest waterfront developments. Tower 2 is a low-rise addition alongside the taller 17 Icon Bay tower that shares its name and immediate surroundings, and it is registered as complete.

Because Tower 2 is the smaller of the two 17 Icon Bay buildings, published unit-count, floor-plan and amenity details specific to it are limited: available records cover the wider development and its larger tower in more depth than Tower 2's own breakdown, so we have left a precise unit total and amenity list out rather than guess. Prospective owners and renters should confirm current specifics for Tower 2 directly with the building's management or a listing agent.


Location & Nearby Landmarks

17 Icon Bay Tower 2's address is registered under Dubai Creek Harbour, on Creek Island. The building sits inside a dense, walkable pocket of the district: Creek Island Central Park is roughly 0.4 km away, Creekside Park is around 0.7 km, and the ground floor of the neighbouring main 17 Icon Bay tower carries a supermarket about 0.1 km from Tower 2 itself. Royale Stays' Dubai Creek Harbour Airbnb management guide covers how the wider district performs for short-term rentals.

Several hotels sit within a few hundred metres, including Palace Dubai Creek Harbour, Vida Creek Harbour and Vida Creek Beach, all roughly 0.2-0.3 km away, giving the pocket a resort-adjacent feel. Other Dubai Creek Harbour buildings covered separately on royalestays.com include Creek Crescent and Creek Palace Residences, both elsewhere on Creek Island, as well as Dubai Creek Residence South Tower 1 in the neighbouring Lagoons district.


Transportation & Access

From 17 Icon Bay Tower 2 it takes roughly 16 minutes to drive to Dubai Mall, 27 minutes to Palm Jumeirah, 25 minutes to Burj Al Arab and 31 minutes to The Walk at JBR in typical traffic. Dubai International Airport (DXB) is about 15 minutes away by car, and the newer Al Maktoum International Airport is roughly 44 minutes. There is no Metro station within walking distance yet, so residents and guests currently rely on cars and ride-hailing, the same pattern as the rest of Creek Island.


Airbnb / Short-Term Rental Income Potential

Across Royale Stays' managed Dubai Creek Harbour context, one-bedroom apartments typically gross AED 7,500-11,000 per month on short lets, two-bedrooms AED 11,000-16,000, and three-bedrooms AED 18,000-24,000, with gross annual yields in the 8-11% range, figures already published on Royale Stays' Creek Crescent guide. Those are area-level figures, not Tower 2-specific precision: no short-term listing tied to this building's own name was verified while researching this guide, though Dubai Creek Harbour as a district already has active licensed holiday-home operators and steady guest demand.

17 Icon Bay Tower 2 is a standard freehold residential building with no hotel or serviced-apartment component and no Vida branding, so an owner here follows the normal DTCM holiday home permit route rather than anything routed through a hotel operator. Royale Stays handles the whole process, from furnishing and photography through pricing, check-in and guest communications, for a fee from 15%.

The wider operational approach is covered in Royale Stays' guide to Airbnb property management in Dubai. Owners ready to see real numbers for their unit can submit their property for a free earnings estimate.
