About Emirates Crown
Emirates Crown rises 296 metres above the Dubai Marina waterfront, one of the taller residential towers in the district, with 63 storeys above ground including several dedicated parking levels. Developed by Bin Shafar Holding, construction began in 2005 and the tower was completed in 2008, confirmed directly against Bayut, Propsearch and the tower's own Wikipedia entry.
Its slender profile has earned it a place in the CTBUH's global skyscraper database and its own entry on Wikipedia, a level of individual recognition few Dubai Marina towers of its era share. The building holds around 240 apartments and penthouses, predominantly two and three-bedroom layouts, plus a smaller number of five-bedroom penthouses.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
Emirates Crown sits on the Dubai Marina waterfront, close to Marina Walk and within reach of King Salman Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud Street (Sheikh Zayed Road's current official name). For a wider look at what makes Dubai Marina work for short-term rentals, see Royale Stays' Dubai Marina Airbnb management guide.
Bayut names Emirates Crown as close to several other Dubai Marina buildings, including Princess Tower, Jumeirah Living Marina Gate and The Torch, all of which Royale Stays also covers.
Unit Types
Emirates Crown's apartments are predominantly two and three-bedroom layouts, alongside a smaller number of five-bedroom penthouses, with ground-floor retail space also part of the building.
Amenities
Residents have access to a swimming pool, gymnasium, jacuzzi, steam room and sauna, plus round-the-clock security with CCTV coverage, dedicated car parking and an on-site shop.
Transportation & Access
Emirates Crown is a short walk from Dubai Marina Tram Station, with Al Khail, DMCC and Sobha Realty metro stations all a short drive away, and Marina Walk directly on the doorstep for residents who prefer to move around the district on foot.
Rental & Price Trends
Reliable, current resale and rental pricing specific to Emirates Crown was not independently verified during this research pass. Dubai Marina as a whole remains one of Dubai's most actively traded and rented freehold waterfront submarkets, and owners weighing a specific unit's numbers can run their own scenario through Royale Stays' ROI calculator.
Airbnb / Short-Term Rental Income Potential
Dubai Marina is one of Dubai's most established and actively-booked short-term rental submarkets, and Emirates Crown's freehold, purely residential status means there is no confirmed prohibition on holiday-home letting here, unlike Vida-branded buildings, which are the only confirmed exception under Royale Stays' permit policy. Royale Stays' Airbnb management services cover furnishing, photography, dynamic pricing, guest communications, check-in and maintenance coordination, all handled from a management fee starting at 15%.
Owners considering an Emirates Crown apartment for short-term letting can get a free property assessment by submitting their property directly. Because Emirates Crown is a standard freehold residential building, holiday-home permitting follows the normal Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism route: see Royale Stays' holiday home permit guide for the full process.
