About 15 Northside
15 Northside sits on Marasi Drive, one of Business Bay’s most sought-after waterfront addresses, directly on the Dubai Canal. Developed by Select Group, the team behind The Residences at Marina Gate in Dubai Marina and Six Senses Residences Dubai Marina, the twin-tower project was completed in 2023 after breaking ground in December 2020.
Not to be confused with the unrelated Northside Building in Arjan (a Damac Properties development) or Select Group’s separate Peninsula waterfront community, also on the Dubai Canal in Business Bay, 15 Northside offers 349 apartments across 21 floors, from compact studios to a limited run of 4-bedroom homes, all with floor-to-ceiling windows and canal-facing views.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
15 Northside is positioned along the Dubai Canal’s promenade, giving residents direct access to the canal’s dedicated cycling and jogging track. The building is within Business Bay, close to Downtown Dubai and Dubai Design District, putting the Burj Khalifa, Dubai Mall, and Business Bay’s own commercial core within easy reach.
Royale Stays also manages short-term rentals at other Select Group canal-front towers, including Peninsula One and Millennium Tower, each with its own layout and rental profile.
Amenities
Residents have access to a waterfront infinity pool with Burj Khalifa views, a dedicated children’s pool, a two-level gymnasium, and an outdoor fitness terrace. The canal-front promenade adds a genuine outdoor amenity most Business Bay towers set back from the water cannot offer.
Rental & Price Trends
Apartments in 15 Northside are currently listed for rent between AED 54,999 and AED 210,000 per year, with 2-bedroom units averaging roughly AED 175,762 per year on the open market. Resale pricing starts from around AED 610,000. Owners weighing a specific unit’s numbers can run their own scenario through Royale Stays’ ROI calculator.
Airbnb / Short-Term Rental Income Potential
Business Bay’s canal-facing towers are consistently strong performers for short-term rentals thanks to their proximity to Downtown Dubai and DIFC without Downtown’s premium pricing. 15 Northside’s mix of studios and 1 and 2-bedroom units suits the two highest-demand segments for short stays: solo/couple travellers and small families. A live Booking.com listing for a unit inside the building, operated by fellow Dubai STR manager Frank Porter, confirms real short-term demand already exists here.
Royale Stays manages the full guest cycle for owners here, from furnishing and professional photography through pricing, check-in, guest communication and maintenance, for a fee starting from 15%. Owners ready to move forward can submit their property directly.
