About the Building
Escape Tower stands on Al Asayel Street in Business Bay, close to Sheikh Zayed Road at the edge of Downtown Dubai. The 40-storey freehold tower was developed by United Engineering Construction and holds exclusively 2- and 3-bedroom apartments, ranging from open-plan layouts with city or canal-facing balconies to larger family-sized units, with no studios or one-bedroom units in the building.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
Escape Tower’s position near Sheikh Zayed Road puts it within easy reach of Downtown Dubai, DIFC and the wider Business Bay canal district.
Royale Stays also manages short-term rentals at other Business Bay towers, including Amna Tower, Safeer Tower 2 and Peninsula One, each with its own layout and rental profile.
Unit Types
Every apartment in Escape Tower is either a 2- or 3-bedroom layout, with 2-bedroom units running roughly from the mid-500s up to around 1,600 square feet and 3-bedroom units extending to around 2,400 square feet depending on floor and layout. This narrower unit mix compared to some Business Bay towers makes the building a straightforward fit for owners furnishing for families or small groups.
Amenities
Residents have access to a swimming pool, a fully equipped gym, a children’s play area, steam room and sauna, plus 24-hour security, concierge services, covered parking across ten levels and high-speed elevators. The building also includes an on-site mosque and is pet-friendly, both relatively uncommon features among Business Bay’s residential towers.
