About Bahar 1
Bahar 1 is a 52-storey residential tower in the Bahar cluster of Jumeirah Beach Residence (JBR), rising to an estimated 171 metres. It was developed by Dubai Properties Group and TECOM Group as part of JBR’s wider beachfront masterplan, with the Bahar cluster completed around 2007 after construction began in 2004. The building holds around 346 apartments, offering 1 and 2-bedroom layouts and duplexes.
Bahar 1 is one of five individually numbered residential towers in the Bahar cluster, Bahar 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6, the numbering skips 3, alongside two separately named hotel-operated buildings that are not part of the cluster’s residential or short-term rental inventory. Units in Bahar 1 are individually owned and freely traded on the resale and rental market, unlike the cluster’s hotel buildings.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
Bahar 1 sits directly on the JBR waterfront, close to The Walk and The Beach JBR’s restaurants, retail and beach clubs. The nearest bus stop, Jumeirah Beach Residence Station 1, Seaside, is roughly a 2-minute walk away, with tram and metro connections also within easy reach, making the building convenient for both residents and short-stay guests without a car.
Unit Types
Bahar 1 offers 1 and 2-bedroom apartments and duplexes. Across the wider Bahar cluster, the unit mix also includes studios, 3-bedroom, 4-bedroom and penthouse layouts, though those broader configurations are confirmed at the cluster level rather than specifically within Bahar 1’s own inventory.
Amenities
Residents and guests have access to a fully-equipped gymnasium, a swimming pool, high-speed elevators, 24-hour security and 24-hour concierge service, an amenity set consistent with every other tower in the Bahar cluster.
Transportation & Access
Bahar 1’s JBR location puts it within walking distance of tram, metro and multiple bus stops, with the nearest bus stop under 2 minutes away on foot. The building sits directly on Dubai’s tram line and is a short drive from Sheikh Zayed Road, giving straightforward access to Dubai Marina, Downtown Dubai and Dubai International Airport.
Rental & Price Trends
Bahar 1 sits within JBR’s active, individually-owned freehold market, with apartments regularly listed for both sale and long-term rent across the major Dubai property portals. Across managed JBR properties, area-level short-term rental income has run roughly AED 100,000 to 130,000 a year for a studio, AED 145,000 to 195,000 for a one-bedroom, AED 210,000 to 300,000 for a two-bedroom, and AED 330,000 to 480,000 for a three-bedroom, figures used consistently across Royale Stays’ other JBR building guides. These are area-level figures, not specific to Bahar 1 itself.
Airbnb / Short-Term Rental Income Potential
Bahar 1 already has real, active short-term-rental demand: dedicated listing pages for this exact building were found on Booking.com and Vrbo, plus further listings on Expedia and Travelocity, a stronger, more multi-platform STR signal than most buildings in this area.
Royale Stays does not manage any of these existing listings, so no owner-specific income figures are claimed here; the area-level JBR income range above gives an honest starting point, and interested owners can use the ROI calculator for a property-specific estimate. Bahar 1 is a standard freehold residential tower, not a hotel-branded property, so the normal owner-direct DTCM holiday-home permit process applies.
Booking.com, Vrbo, Expedia and Travelocity listings for this building are market observations from this guide's own research, not Royale Stays-managed properties.
