About LIV Residence

LIV Residence is a 28-storey residential tower on the Marina Promenade in Dubai Marina, developed by LIV Real Estate Development and handed over in 2019/2020 after launching in 2015. The building holds 179 units across a mix of studios, one, two and three-bedroom apartments, plus a small number of penthouses. The tower is now owned post-handover by Marina One Holdings Limited.

LIV Residence shares a brand name with LIV Marina, a separate, newer 44-storey tower elsewhere in Dubai Marina completed in May 2025. The two are unrelated by address and completion date, so it's worth being precise about which tower is which when researching the area: LIV Residence is the older, established building; LIV Marina is the newer one still building up its resale and rental history.


Location & Nearby Landmarks

LIV Residence sits close to the bridge on King Salman Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud Street, one of the busier stretches of the Marina, putting residents within a short walk of the promenade's restaurants and the wider JBR beachfront. Royale Stays actively manages Airbnb properties across Dubai Marina, and owners here are covered under the same Dubai Marina Airbnb management service used across the rest of the community.

Attessa Tower sits on the same Marina Promenade stretch as LIV Residence, making it the closest direct comparison for rental positioning. No.9 Tower and The Residence at Marina Gate 2 give further reference points for how a Marina building's exact position affects short-term rental demand.


Unit Types

LIV Residence's 179 units span studios, one-bedroom, two-bedroom and three-bedroom apartments, plus a small number of penthouses. That range covers solo-traveller studios through family-sized units in one building, a fairly standard spread for an established Marina tower of this size.


Amenities

On-site amenities include a pool terrace, a gym, spa and sauna facilities, dedicated kids' play areas, and round-the-clock lift, front desk, security and maintenance staff, a fairly standard amenity set for a Marina tower of this size.


Transportation & Access

LIV Residence's Marina Promenade position puts it within a roughly 8-minute drive of The Walk at JBR, about 11 minutes from Palm Jumeirah, and around 17-19 minutes from Burj Al Arab and Dubai Mall respectively (approximate drive times from a single source, treated as directional rather than exact). The building is also a short walk from Dubai Marina's own restaurant and retail strip and within easy reach of the Marina's tram and metro connections.


Across Royale Stays managed Dubai Marina apartments, the blended rate runs AED 921 a night at 88% occupancy. By unit type, a one-bedroom averages AED 600 a night for about AED 16,406 a month, a two-bedroom AED 755 a night for roughly AED 20,712 a month, and a three-bedroom AED 1,092 a night for around AED 29,625 a month. LIV Residence's studio-through-penthouse mix covers most of that spread. No LIV Residence-specific budget file exists in Royale Stays' managed portfolio data as of this build, so the figures above are Dubai Marina area-blended, not exclusive to this tower.


Airbnb / Short-Term Rental Income Potential

Short-term letting anywhere in Dubai, including at LIV Residence, needs a valid DTCM holiday-home permit before taking bookings. LIV Residence is a standard freehold residential tower, not hotel-branded or serviced-apartment, so owners apply for the permit directly rather than through a building management company. As an established tower completed in 2019/2020, LIV Residence has a longer resale and rental track record than some of the newer Marina towers, which is worth knowing going in.

Royale Stays runs the full operation for owners here for a fee starting from 15%, including permit submission for overseas owners, covering furnishing, photography, pricing, check-in and guest communications, with a single monthly statement covering revenue, fee, costs and net transfer.

LIV Residence pairs an established Dubai Marina address with a wide unit mix that suits short-term rental demand across solo travellers, couples and families alike. To see what a LIV Residence apartment can earn, get a free earnings estimate and get started today.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

LIV Residence is on the Marina Promenade in Dubai Marina, close to the bridge on King Salman Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud Street. It is a standalone 28-storey tower, not part of a hotel or serviced-apartment complex.
LIV Residence was developed by LIV Real Estate Development, launched in 2015, and completed in 2019/2020 (sources vary slightly on the exact handover month). The building is now owned post-handover by Marina One Holdings Limited.

Yes. LIV Residence is a standard freehold residential tower in Dubai Marina, an area Royale Stays already actively manages. A DTCM holiday-home permit is required, applied for directly as the building is not hotel-branded or serviced-apartment, which would route permitting through a management company instead.
No. Despite sharing the LIV brand name and both being in Dubai Marina, they are different, unrelated-by-address towers: LIV Residence is a 28-storey building completed in 2019/2020, while LIV Marina is a newer 44-storey tower completed in May 2025. Do not confuse the two when researching either property.
