About DAMAC Executive Bay
DAMAC Executive Bay is a twin-tower development in Business Bay, developed by DAMAC Properties and completed in March 2014. The complex is made up of two connected towers: Tower A, a 19-storey residential building with studio, one- and two-bedroom apartments, and Tower B, a separate 21-storey commercial office tower. The two towers share a ground-level plaza with retail and community facilities, but this guide focuses on Tower A, the residential building, not the office tower.
This building is easily confused with a different, unrelated Business Bay complex sharing part of the name: The Executive Towers is a separate 12-tower development by Dubai Properties, completed in 2009, with individual towers named B, C, D (Aspect Tower), E, F, G, H, J, K, L and M, plus a Taj Hotel tower. DAMAC Executive Bay and The Executive Towers are different developments by different developers, completed five years apart, and are not the same building. Royale Stays has separately covered a tower from that other complex in its guide to Executive Tower A, Business Bay.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
DAMAC Executive Bay sits within Business Bay, Dubai's canal-side business and residential district south of Downtown Dubai. For the full picture of how Royale Stays manages Airbnb properties across the wider area, see the Royale Stays Business Bay Airbnb management guide.
Business Bay has one of the largest clusters of Building Guides Royale Stays has published so far. For nearby comparisons within the same area, see the guides to Ahad Residences, Millennium Binghatti Residence, and Waves Tower by Kasco, three other Business Bay buildings Royale Stays currently covers.
Unit Types
Tower A, the residential tower, offers studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments. Portal listings show studios running roughly 420 to 470 square feet, one-bedroom units roughly 680 to 750 square feet, and two-bedroom units roughly 1,050 to 1,350 square feet. Royale Stays has not confirmed a total unit count for the tower to two independent sources, so no overall figure is stated here. No floor-plan diagrams are included: floor plans are typically the developer's or broker's proprietary material and have not been independently verified for this guide.
Amenities
Shared amenities at DAMAC Executive Bay include a swimming pool, a gymnasium, a sauna and steam room, a landscaped garden, and a ground-level retail and shopping arcade with several restaurants and retail outlets, plus 24-hour reception and security, based on current portal listings. Owners and prospective renters should confirm current on-site facilities directly with the building's management, since amenity offerings can change over time.
Transportation & Access
DAMAC Executive Bay has direct access to Business Bay's main roads, connecting to Sheikh Zayed Road and the wider city within a short drive. Royale Stays has not confirmed the exact walking distance from the building to the nearest Dubai Metro station, so this guide does not state a specific figure.
Rental & Price Trends
Royale Stays has not yet compiled DAMAC Executive Bay-specific market data covering long-term lease rents or service charges in this pass, so no building-specific figures are stated here rather than an invented estimate. Owners considering a unit at this building can run their own numbers through Royale Stays' Dubai property ROI calculator for a unit-specific estimate instead.
Airbnb / Short-Term Rental Income Potential
DAMAC Executive Bay's Tower A is a standard freehold residential building, not a hotel-branded or serviced-apartment property, so a unit owner works through the usual DTCM holiday home permit process rather than a building-management-company route. Royale Stays' guide to the Dubai holiday home permit covers what the process and fees generally involve.
Royale Stays does not currently have booking data specific to DAMAC Executive Bay to draw on, so this guide does not present a building income figure it cannot support. Owners weighing Airbnb for a unit here can compare it against Business Bay's broader short-term rental market, where studio, one- and two-bedroom apartments are common listing types close to this building's own unit mix.
For an owner weighing whether Airbnb makes sense for a unit at DAMAC Executive Bay, the practical starting points are confirming the building's short-term letting rules, applying for the DTCM permit, and pricing the unit against comparable Business Bay listings. Royale Stays manages the full furnishing, photography, pricing, check-in and guest communications process for owners who prefer not to handle it directly, as part of the wider Royale Stays Dubai Airbnb management service. Owners ready to move forward can submit their property for a management review to get a clearer read on its Airbnb potential.
Royale Stays does not yet have DAMAC Executive Bay-specific portfolio data to draw on for this guide; this section reflects the currently available public market context only, reviewed by Chris Veinbaums, DTCM-licensed operator.
