About Yansoon 6
Yansoon 6 is one of nine numbered buildings in the Yansoon complex, part of Old Town, the low-rise, Arabian-style sub-community Emaar Properties built around Burj Khalifa in Downtown Dubai. It is a low-rise, freehold building with a confirmed one, two and three-bedroom unit mix, finished in the sandstone-clad, arched style the wider Old Town district is known for.
Sources disagree on the exact storey count and completion year. Dubricks.com's own project record lists Yansoon 6 at four floors, while propertyfinder.ae's area-insights page puts it at eight, too wide a gap to average or pick a majority from. Completion year sees the same spread: dubricks.com's own field is labelled an anticipated (not confirmed) 01-Jan-2006, propertystellar.com cites 2008, and propertyfinder.ae cites 2007. Rather than assert a single figure none of these sources actually agree on, this guide states only what every source confirms without conflict: the building is complete, ready and freehold, part of Old Town's mid-to-late 2000s build-out.
For owners, Yansoon 6 is developed by Emaar rather than Vida, the site's only confirmed prohibited brand for short-term letting, so there is no policy reason apartments here cannot be run as licensed holiday homes. 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 Downtown Dubai, for a management fee from 15%.
Yansoon 6 is confirmed distinct from the separately-covered Yansoon 3 (7 storeys, 1-3BR mix), Yansoon 5 (10 storeys, 1-4BR mix plus a Penthouse Suite) and Yansoon 7 (storey count disputed, 1-3BR mix, no Penthouse) via zeuscapital.ae's own Projects Nearby module, which lists Yansoon 8, Yansoon 7, Exquisite Living Residences, Yansoon 2, Yansoon 4, Reehan 2, Burj Views, Burj Royale, Reehan 3 and Zaafaran 1 as Yansoon 6's own direct neighbours, not Yansoon 3 or Yansoon 5. Yansoon 5's own Bayut data separately names Yansoon 6 as one of its neighbours, confirming these are physically distinct buildings within the same numbered series.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
Yansoon 6 sits in the Yansoon sub-community of Old Town, close to Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Boulevard in Downtown Dubai. Burj Khalifa, The Dubai Fountain, Dubai Mall and Souk Al Bahar are commonly cited by brokers and developer marketing as within a short walk or drive of the Yansoon cluster, though that figure comes from marketing material rather than a mapping tool, so treat it as a rough guide rather than a precise distance.
Zeus Capital's own project-data module names Yansoon 6's closest neighbouring developments as Yansoon 8, Yansoon 7, Exquisite Living Residences, Yansoon 2, Yansoon 4, Reehan 2, Burj Views, Burj Royale, Reehan 3 and Zaafaran 1. It also sits close to Yansoon 5, another building in the same numbered series confirmed as a near neighbour in Yansoon 5's own building-guide data. Old Town's village-style layout, low-rise blocks, arched sandstone facades and pedestrian courtyards sets Yansoon 6 apart from the glass-and-steel towers along Downtown's Boulevard front, while still sitting inside the same wider Downtown Dubai submarket that Royale Stays already manages across.

Unit Types
Yansoon 6 was built with a confirmed one, two and three-bedroom apartment mix only; no four-bedroom or Penthouse units were found in any source checked. One-bedroom units cover around 1,003 sq ft, two-bedroom units range from 1,180 to 1,349 sq ft with two en-suite bathrooms and a private lawn on some units, and three-bedroom units run from 1,780 to 1,895 sq ft with two en-suite bathrooms and four built-in wardrobes, per Bayut's own building guide.
Every unit includes a fully equipped kitchen, laundry area and balcony (or private lawn on select ground-floor units). Bayut's building guide notes secure basement parking and two high-speed elevators serve the building.
Unit-size figures per bayut.com (checked 2026-09-05). dubricks.com states a specific total unit count (48) and floor count (4) for the building, but since a second source (propertyfinder.ae) puts the floor count at 8, neither figure is repeated here as a settled fact.
Amenities
Yansoon 6 offers a swimming pool, gymnasium, a secure kids' play area and a barbecue area for gatherings, per Bayut's own building guide. The building has CCTV surveillance, a dedicated security team, fire alarms, fire extinguishers and backup generators, 24-hour concierge and guest services, and is pet-friendly. Secure basement parking and two high-speed elevators serve residents, with central air-conditioning powered by DEWA and regular building maintenance.
Transportation & Access
Yansoon 6's Old Town location puts the Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall metro station within a short drive, with Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Boulevard giving quick access to Financial Centre Road and onward to Sheikh Zayed Road. Old Town's pedestrian-friendly layout also makes several of Downtown's attractions walkable rather than drive-only, and street parking is available around the building for visitors.
Rental & Price Trends
Downtown Dubai rents rose roughly 4 to 7% through 2025, according to Bayut's Dubai Rental Market Report, with the submarket described as stable heading into H1 2026. Bayut's own building guide puts Yansoon 6's average annual rent at around AED 190,905, though this single-source figure should be treated as indicative rather than a guaranteed number. Owners weighing a specific unit's numbers can run their own scenario through Royale Stays' ROI calculator.
Airbnb / Short-Term Rental Income Potential
No live Booking.com or Agoda listing was found specifically inside Yansoon 6 at the time of writing, unlike some of its Old Town numbered siblings, so this section reflects the wider Downtown Dubai submarket rather than a building-specific short-term-rental track record.
For context, Downtown Dubai apartments generally average around AED 654 a night for a one-bedroom (about AED 17,888 a month), AED 1,093 a night for a two-bedroom (about AED 29,901 a month), and AED 2,220 a night for a three-bedroom (about AED 60,596 a month), based on Royale Stays' own Burj Vista Tower 1 income analysis for the area, these are Downtown-wide averages, not a Yansoon-6-specific figure. Royale Stays runs the pricing, guest communication and turnover work for owners who want to convert a Yansoon 6 apartment into a managed short-term rental, for a management fee from 15%.
