About Harbour Gate Tower 1
Harbour Gate Tower 1 is one of two towers in the Harbour Gate complex, a freehold residential development by Emaar Properties on Creek Island in Dubai Creek Harbour. The tower rises 30 storeys and was completed in August 2022, following construction that began in February 2017. Apartments span one, two and three-bedroom layouts, with a limited number of four-bedroom penthouses, and the two towers are connected at ground level by a shared podium.
Harbour Gate Tower 1 is a separate development from Harbour Gate Tower 2, its sibling tower in the same complex, and from Harbour Views, a similarly-named but entirely different Emaar twin-tower project elsewhere in Dubai Creek Harbour. Some listings also refer to it as Creek Gate Tower 1, a commonly searched alternate name for the same building.
