About Bahar 5
Bahar 5 is a residential tower in Jumeirah Beach Residence (JBR), developed by Dubai Properties. It is one of five individually numbered towers that make up JBR's Bahar Cluster, alongside Bahar 1, Bahar 2, Bahar 4 and Bahar 6 (the cluster's numbering skips a Bahar 3), plus two adjoining hotel properties, Hilton Dubai The Walk and Sheraton The Walk Dubai, that share the cluster's site but are not residential towers.
Available sources describe Bahar 5's status as complete and put its height at around 48 storeys, though Royale Stays could only confirm the floor count from a single source and was unable to independently cross-verify it against a second. This mirrors a pattern already found elsewhere in the Bahar Cluster: Royale Stays' own Bahar 6 guide discloses a genuine 17-to-31-storey conflict between sources for that building, so a single unconfirmed figure for Bahar 5 is treated with the same caution rather than stated as settled fact. Total unit count and an exact completion year were not independently confirmed for Bahar 5 specifically; sibling towers Bahar 2 and Bahar 6 were both completed in 2007, a plausible but unconfirmed reference point for Bahar 5.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
Bahar 5 sits directly on Jumeirah Beach Residence's beachfront strip, immediately adjacent to Dubai Marina (roughly 0.2 km away) and a short walk from JBR Beach and The Walk, JBR's promenade of restaurants, cafes and retail. Jumeirah Lakes Towers is about 1.2 km away, and Bluewaters Island, home to the Ain Dubai observation wheel, is around 1.4 km away. For area-level context across all of JBR's clusters, Royale Stays' guide to Airbnb management across JBR covers licensing and demand across the wider district.
Bahar 5 joins Royale Stays’ wider Bahar Cluster coverage, alongside Bahar 1, Bahar 2, Bahar 4 and Bahar 6, four of its numbered sibling towers in the same seven-building cluster that Royale Stays has covered separately. The cluster’s remaining two buildings, Hilton Dubai The Walk and Sheraton The Walk Dubai, are hotel-operated properties rather than residential towers and are not part of Royale Stays’ numbered-tower coverage.
Unit Types
Bahar 5's unit mix broadly follows the wider Bahar Cluster pattern of studio to four-bedroom apartments plus penthouses. Dubai Land Department transaction records visible for the tower are weighted toward larger units: recent recorded sales include three and four-bedroom apartments of around 2,073 to 2,837 sq ft, a 1,983 sq ft penthouse, and one transaction as large as 5,538 sq ft. This reflects only the visible sales sample rather than confirmation of the building's full inventory mix, so owners and prospective buyers should confirm exact unit-type availability directly with a broker or Bahar 5's management.
Amenities
As a JBR beachfront tower, Bahar 5 residents have access to the wider JBR promenade, including nearby beach access, and a dense strip of hotel-operated restaurants, bars and lounges directly next door, with Sheraton The Walk Dubai, Hilton Dubai The Walk and several other hotels sitting within roughly 100 to 300 metres. Owners and prospective renters should confirm current building-specific facilities (pool, gym, parking) directly with Bahar 5's management, since amenity offerings can change over time.
Transportation & Access
JBR is served by the Dubai Tram, with a stop within walking distance of Bahar 5, and the Dubai Marina Metro station is within easy reach given the building's position right on the JBR-Marina border. Sheikh Zayed Road is within easy reach for driving, with Dubai International Airport around 30 minutes away by car depending on traffic.
Rental & Price Trends
Real Dubai Land Department transaction records show a four-bedroom apartment in Bahar 5 selling for AED 4,450,000 (AED 1,568 per square foot) in April 2026, and a 1,983 sq ft penthouse recording AED 3,600,000 (AED 1,815 per square foot) in May 2025, part of a wider set of 50 recorded sale transactions for the building stretching back to 2019, with price-per-square-foot figures in the visible sample ranging roughly from AED 832 to AED 1,815. Royale Stays does not have independently confirmed long-term rental figures for Bahar 5 specifically, so owners weighing a specific unit's numbers can run their own scenario through Royale Stays' ROI calculator, or compare against Royale Stays' other numbered Bahar Cluster guides.
Airbnb / Short-Term Rental Income Potential
Royale Stays manages short-term rentals across JBR, and published area-level figures for JBR put gross annual booking revenue at roughly AED 100,000 to 130,000 for studios, AED 145,000 to 195,000 for one-bedroom units, AED 210,000 to 300,000 for two-bedroom units and AED 330,000 to 480,000 for three-bedroom units. Royale Stays does not currently have Bahar 5-specific booking data to draw on, so these figures reflect JBR generally rather than claiming a nightly rate or occupancy figure for this particular building.
Renting a Bahar 5 apartment short-term needs a DTCM holiday home permit, professional photography, dynamic pricing, round-the-clock guest communication, housekeeping between stays, and owners-association coordination. Royale Stays runs the full operation for a fee starting from 15%, covering furnishing, photography, pricing, check-in and guest communications, with a single monthly statement covering revenue, fee, costs and net transfer.
Dubai Properties is a government-linked master developer, not a hotel brand: there is no policy reason, unlike Vida, the site's only confirmed prohibited brand, that Bahar 5 apartments can't be run as licensed holiday homes. The wider operational approach is covered in Royale Stays' guide to Airbnb property management in Dubai. Owners ready to move forward can submit their property for a free earnings estimate.
