About Aykon City Tower C
Aykon City Tower C stands directly on Sheikh Zayed Road in Business Bay, part of the Aykon City development by DAMAC Properties, with views over the Dubai Canal and the Tolerance Bridge. Completed in 2023, the 63-storey tower holds studio, one, two and three-bedroom apartments, including 138 two-bedroom and 45 three-bedroom units, delivered furnished.
Tower C shares the Aykon City site with its sister building, Aykon City Tower B, but the two are run very differently: Tower B is a hotel-branded, hotel-pool operation, while Tower C is a standard freehold residential building with no hotel operator attached.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
Aykon City Tower C’s Sheikh Zayed Road frontage puts it at the edge of Business Bay, close to Downtown Dubai, DIFC and the Dubai Water Canal. For a wider look at what makes Business Bay work for short-term rentals, see Royale Stays’ Business Bay Airbnb management guide.
Business Bay is home to several other buildings Royale Stays covers, including Marquise Square Tower and The Opus by Omniyat, plus its own sister building, Aykon City Tower B.
Unit Types
The building’s unit mix runs from studios through one, two and three-bedroom apartments, with 138 two-bedroom and 45 three-bedroom units specifically confirmed, giving owners a range of layouts from compact studios to full family-sized apartments, all delivered furnished with fitted kitchens.
Amenities
Residents share Aykon Plaza, an elevated 11th-floor amenity deck across the Aykon City complex, with swimming pools, a spa, a beach club, cafes and restaurants, plus an exclusive residents-only club.
Transportation & Access
The tower’s position on Sheikh Zayed Road puts Downtown Dubai, DIFC and the wider Business Bay canal district within easy reach, and Dubai International Airport is roughly 15 to 20 minutes away by car.

Airbnb / Short-Term Rental Income Potential
Because Tower C is a standard freehold residential building rather than a hotel-branded one, owners have the normal route to short-term letting: a DTCM holiday home permit, arranged through the building’s management, and a licensed operator like Royale Stays handling furnishing, pricing, guest communication and maintenance for a fee starting from 15%. This is a more straightforward path than Tower B, where letting is routed through the building’s own hotel-pool operator. A direct booking.com listing already appears for this exact tower, consistent with real STR activity in the complex.
