About Reehan 7
Reehan 7 is one of eight numbered buildings in the Reehan cluster, part of Old Town, the Arabian-style sub-community Emaar Properties built around Burj Khalifa in Downtown Dubai. Old Town as a whole dates to around 2006-2007. Reehan 7 itself is a 10-storey building, including two basement parking levels, with one full floor set aside entirely for amenities rather than apartments, in keeping with the sandstone, arched-courtyard architecture the district is known for.
The building holds 66 freehold units in total: studio, one, two and three-bedroom apartments make up the bulk of the mix, with a handful of larger layouts, including a ground-floor four-bedroom unit with its own garden and a ninth-floor penthouse suite, at the top end. Short-term rental activity is already visible here: a listing titled "Reehan 7, pool, courtyard, parking" is marketed on Airbnb through Blueground, an operator independent of Royale Stays. Royale Stays manages the day-to-day side of turning an apartment here into a working short-term rental, from setup and pricing through to guest communication, as part of its wider Airbnb property management approach in Dubai, for a management fee from 15%.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
Reehan 7 sits within the Reehan zone of Old Town, close to King Salman bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud Street (D94) and a 3-minute walk from its immediate neighbours Reehan 3, Reehan 5 and Reehan 6. Burj Khalifa, The Dubai Fountain and Dubai Mall are all within a short drive, and the South Ridge Tower bus stop is a 3-minute walk away.
Four other numbered buildings in the same wider Old Town masterplan are covered separately on royalestays.com: Yansoon 3, Zaafaran 2, Miska 2 and Reehan 8, each with its own unit mix and layout. For a wider view of the area's short-term rental market, Royale Stays' Airbnb management guide for Downtown Dubai covers licensing and demand across the community.
Unit Types
Reehan 7's 66 units span studio, one, two and three-bedroom apartments, with one-bedroom layouts running from around 772 to 826 sq ft, two-bedroom layouts from around 1,113 to 1,572 sq ft, and three-bedroom layouts from around 1,405 to 3,387 sq ft, the largest of these on the ninth floor. A small number of larger units sit outside that core mix: a four-bedroom, ground-floor unit with a private garden at around 1,816 sq ft, and a ninth-floor penthouse suite at around 3,042 sq ft.
Amenities
Reehan 7 has a full amenity floor with a gym, a games room, a kids' play area and a swimming pool, alongside covered parking across two basement levels, 24/7 CCTV and trained security staff, and a 24-hour concierge and desk service. The building is pet-friendly.
Transportation & Access
The South Ridge Tower bus stop is a 3-minute walk from Reehan 7, served by buses 50, 51, F19B and F41, and Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall Metro Station on the Red Line is roughly a 7-minute drive away. King Salman bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud Street (D94) connects the building to the rest of the city.
Rental & Price Trends
Downtown Dubai rents held broadly stable through H1 2026, according to Bayut's Dubai Rental Market Report, which puts the area's average annual rent at AED 133,000 for a one-bedroom, AED 223,000 for a two-bedroom and AED 362,000 for a three-bedroom apartment, the three unit types that make up most of Reehan 7's mix. No verified Reehan 7-specific rent or price-per-square-foot figure is available at the time of writing, so these reflect the wider Downtown Dubai trend rather than a building-specific number. Owners weighing a specific unit's numbers can run their own scenario through Royale Stays' ROI calculator.
Airbnb / Short-Term Rental Income Potential
This is where the research lines up with something concrete: a third-party Airbnb listing, "Reehan 7, pool, courtyard, parking," already markets a unit in the building through Blueground, an operator independent of Royale Stays. That is a genuine, external signal of live demand, not a hopeful assumption. Royale Stays' own managed Downtown Dubai portfolio shows gross annual income in the region of AED 130,000 to AED 175,000 for a one-bedroom, AED 190,000 to AED 280,000 for a two-bedroom and AED 300,000 to AED 430,000 for a three-bedroom, per the Downtown Dubai Airbnb rental income data.
Because Reehan 7 is developed by Emaar rather than Vida, the site's only confirmed prohibited brand for short-term letting, there is no policy reason apartments here cannot be run as licensed holiday homes. Royale Stays runs the full operation for a fee starting from 15%, covering furnishing, photography, pricing, check-in and guest communications, with a single monthly statement covering revenue, fee, costs and net transfer.
