About West Avenue Tower
West Avenue Tower is a 32-storey residential building centrally positioned within Dubai Marina, developed by Select Group (through its project subsidiary West Avenue Ltd) and completed in 2014, with construction beginning around 2008-2010 depending on the source. The tower's facade draws directly on New York's early 20th-century high-rise architecture, a design concept Select Group has described as bringing "the artistic mastery of early 20th century Manhattan to Dubai Marina."
West Avenue Tower holds 276 residential units (Select Group's own developer page and Bayut both state 276; Propsearch separately lists 273, a minor discrepancy stated here rather than silently dropped) across studios, one, two and three-bedroom apartments and a selection of high-end penthouses, on a built-up area of over 461,000 square feet. It is a standard freehold residential building, ownership open to UAE and international buyers alike, with no hotel brand or serviced-apartment component attached.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
West Avenue Tower sits centrally within Dubai Marina, registered under the Marsa Dubai sub-area, close enough to Dubai Marina Mall to reach on foot in around 4 minutes and directly connected to the Marina's waterfront walk. Ain Dubai, the world's tallest observation wheel, is roughly a 9-minute drive. Royale Stays' Dubai Marina area guide covers how the wider community performs for short-term rentals.
Bayut's own nearby-buildings data for West Avenue Tower names Marina Crown and Marina Diamond 2 among its closest residential neighbours, both also covered on royalestays.com: Marina Crown and Marina Diamond 2. A dense retail and dining cluster including Silverene, La Riviera Tower and Marina Mansions sits within 100-200 metres, along with several hotels (Crowne Plaza Dubai Marina, JW Marriott Hotel Marina, Sheraton The Walk Dubai) all a few minutes' walk or drive away.
Unit Types
Studio apartments run 443 to 450 square feet, with a fitted kitchen, marble flooring, a small balcony and floor-to-ceiling glass. One-bedroom units span 700 to 722 square feet with built-in wardrobes, a fitted kitchen, an attached bathroom and a powder room. Two-bedroom apartments measure 1,333 square feet with a separate living and dining area opening onto the balcony. Select Group's own developer page also lists three-bedroom apartments in the mix, a detail not separately broken out in Bayut's own floor-plan data. Penthouses run to roughly 4,000 square feet with four en-suite bedrooms, a powder room, a gaming room and a large wraparound terrace.
Amenities
Residents have access to a swimming pool, sauna, steam room and jacuzzi, a modern gym, a children's play area and a barbecue/event space, all backed by 24-hour CCTV security and on-site maintenance staff. Covered parking guarantees at least one space per apartment, and multiple high-speed elevators serve the tower's 32 floors. The building is pet-friendly, and its ground floor lobby doubles as a waiting area for guests.
Transportation & Access
DMCC Metro Station is within walking distance of West Avenue Tower, with JLT Business Centre Metro roughly a 6-minute drive, Jebel Ali Metro about 3 minutes, and Sobha Realty Metro around 9 minutes. Tram stops at Media City, Mina Siyeahi and Palm Jumeirah are all under 12 minutes away. By car, it takes roughly 21 minutes to Dubai Mall, 13 minutes to Palm Jumeirah, 19 minutes to Burj Al Arab, and just 6 minutes to The Walk at JBR. Dubai International Airport (DXB) is about 30 minutes away, and Al Maktoum International Airport roughly 33 minutes.
Rental & Price Trends
West Avenue Tower's Dubai Land Department-published service charges total AED 19.12 per square foot a year, covering general upkeep (AED 5.00), maintenance (AED 3.46), utilities/district cooling (AED 6.93), management (AED 1.48), insurance (AED 0.34), master community fees (AED 0.67) and the reserve fund (AED 1.24). This is a single-source figure (Bayut's own DLD-sourced breakdown) rather than independently cross-confirmed, stated as such. Recent DLD-recorded sale transactions surfaced for this building through Propsearch carry unusually low headline prices relative to typical Dubai Marina values for comparable unit sizes, which reads as a data quality issue in that specific feed (likely partial-interest or non-representative registrations) rather than genuine market pricing, so this guide does not cite a per-square-foot sale figure from that source rather than risk presenting a misleading number.
Airbnb / Short-Term Rental Income Potential
Across Royale Stays' managed Dubai Marina apartments, the blended rate runs AED 921 a night at 88% occupancy. By unit type, a one-bedroom averages AED 600 a night for around AED 16,406 a month, a two-bedroom AED 755 a night for roughly AED 20,712 a month, and a three-bedroom AED 1,092 a night for around AED 29,625 a month. West Avenue Tower's studio-heavy, one and two-bedroom mix sits toward the lower-to-middle end of that range, with its few three-bedroom and penthouse units able to reach the top end. No West Avenue Tower-specific managed budget exists in Royale Stays' portfolio data as of this build, so these figures are Dubai Marina area-blended, not exclusive to this tower.
There is genuine third-party evidence of short-stay activity under this building's own name: a live search surfaced a Booking.com listing titled "West Avenue Tower, Dubai Marina, Dubai" and an Airbnb room titled "1 BD in West Avenue tower Dubai Marina." Direct access to the Booking.com page itself returned a bot-challenge screen rather than readable content, so this is stated as search-result-level evidence, not independently re-confirmed page content, but it is still real, third-party confirmation that short-stay operators already list units here.
West Avenue Tower is a standard freehold residential building with no hotel or serviced-apartment component and no Vida branding, so an owner here follows the normal DTCM holiday home permit route. Royale Stays runs the full operation for owners here for a fee starting from 15%, covering furnishing, photography, pricing, check-in and guest communications. The wider operational approach is covered in Royale Stays' guide to Airbnb property management in Dubai.

Income figures reflect Royale Stays' own managed Dubai Marina portfolio data, reviewed by Chris Veinbaums, DTCM-licensed operator, not a West Avenue Tower-specific earnings claim.
