About Creek Horizon Tower 1
Creek Horizon Tower 1 is one half of a twin-tower residential complex on Creek Island in Dubai Creek Harbour, developed by Emaar Properties through its Lagoons Phase One subsidiary. PropSearch's own building guide, fetched live for this guide, confirms construction began in December 2016 and the project was completed in September 2020, with SSH as architectural consultant.
PropSearch's structured building specification lists the two towers as 39 and 34 storeys respectively, while a separate descriptive passage on the same PropSearch page instead states the towers rise to 40 and 43 storeys, a genuine inconsistency within PropSearch's own page that could not be resolved against a third source for this guide: Skyscrapercenter's dedicated Creek Horizon Tower 1 entry returned an access-denied response on a live fetch, and Tanami Properties' own marketing page states only that the towers rise 'over 40 storeys' without breaking the figure down by tower. Tower 1's exact storey count is stated here as approximately 39 to 40 rather than picked precisely.
Across both towers, the complex contains a total of around 500 apartments, per PropSearch, in 1, 2 and 3-bedroom layouts plus penthouses, ranging from 758 to 1,704 sq ft, confirmed independently by Tanami Properties' own marketing page. Villa-style townhouses sit on the podium level connecting the two towers, per Tanami, and each tower has its own private rooftop 'Harbour Lookout' entertainment deck.
Ownership follows the standard freehold structure of Emaar's wider Dubai Creek Harbour master development. Neither source checked for this guide flags any leasehold restriction or hotel/serviced-apartment branding specific to Creek Horizon.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
Creek Horizon sits on Creek Island in Al Khairan First, within Dubai Creek Harbour, per PropSearch's own land-registry data. PropSearch's descriptive copy notes apartments face either the Burj Khalifa and Downtown Dubai skyline on one side, or the Green Gallery Park on the other, with views toward the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary from the wider district.
PropSearch's own commute-time estimates put Creek Horizon roughly 20 minutes' drive from Dubai Mall, 30 minutes from Burj Al Arab, 31 minutes from Palm Jumeirah and 35 minutes from The Walk JBR, with Dubai International Airport (DXB) around 23 minutes away and Al Maktoum International Airport around 50 minutes away.
For the wider area, Royale Stays' own Airbnb Management Dubai Creek Harbour: Complete Guide covers short-term rental performance and licensing across the district.
Other Creek Harbour buildings covered separately include Harbour Gate Tower 2, Harbour Views Tower 2 and Creek Edge Tower 1, all within the same Creek Island core of Dubai Creek Harbour.
Unit Types
Both PropSearch and Tanami Properties describe the same unit mix at Creek Horizon: 1, 2 and 3-bedroom apartments plus penthouses, ranging from 758 to 1,704 sq ft.
Neither source breaks the mix down by exact unit count per bedroom type or by individual tower. No floor-plan diagrams are reproduced here; owners can request specific layouts directly from a broker or Emaar's resale channel.
Amenities
Per PropSearch, Creek Horizon offers a children's play area, games room, gymnasium, lounge, multi-purpose room and swimming pool at complex level.
Tanami Properties separately lists dining and retail outlets, a health care centre, restaurants and a supermarket on the ground floor of the three-storey podium, alongside the private rooftop 'Harbour Lookout' entertainment deck attached to each tower.
Transportation & Access
PropSearch's own commute-time data, also cited in Location & Nearby Landmarks above, puts Creek Horizon around 20 minutes' drive from Dubai Mall and 23 minutes from Dubai International Airport (DXB), with the newer Al Maktoum International Airport around 50 minutes away.
Neither source checked for this guide gives a specific walking distance to a Dubai Metro station. Dubai Creek Harbour's public transport network is still expanding as the wider master development builds out, so most residents currently rely on cars or ride-hailing rather than metro or tram access.
Rental & Price Trends
PropSearch lists 50 Dubai Land Department transaction records for Creek Horizon, though the records visible for this guide are Gift-type transfers rather than confirmed arms-length sales. One Tower 1-specific record, dated 26 June 2026, shows a 2-bedroom, 1,214 sq ft unit transferred at AED 2,505,512 (AED 2,065 per sq ft) under a Gift transaction, which reflects a related-party transfer rather than an open-market sale price.
Tanami Properties' own marketing page lists a starting price of AED 1,264,888 at launch, a broker asking figure rather than a current resale or rental benchmark. Royale Stays has not independently confirmed a specific long-term monthly rental figure or service charge for Creek Horizon Tower 1 in this pass, so neither is stated as fact. Owners weighing a specific unit's earning potential can run their own numbers through Royale Stays' Dubai property ROI calculator.
Airbnb / Short-Term Rental Income Potential
No dedicated short-term rental listing or operator page tied directly to Creek Horizon Tower 1's name was found for this guide. An earlier research pass flagged a general STR search-demand signal for the building, but that signal was not independently re-confirmed in this pass, and Royale Stays states this honestly rather than inferring activity from neighbouring Creek Harbour buildings.
As a standard Emaar freehold tower with no hotel or serviced-apartment branding, an individual owner at Creek Horizon Tower 1 can generally apply for a DTCM holiday home permit in the normal way. Royale Stays' guide to the Dubai holiday home permit sets out the current fees and renewal process.
Owners considering Airbnb at Creek Horizon Tower 1 can lean on Royale Stays' full furnishing, photography, pricing, check-in and guest communications service rather than handling listings directly, backed by the same operational approach behind Royale Stays' guide to choosing an Airbnb management company in Dubai. Owners ready to move forward can submit their property for a management review to get a clearer read on its Airbnb potential.
