About Residence 22
Residence 22 is a 24-storey freehold residential tower on Marasi Drive in Business Bay, sitting directly along the Dubai Water Canal. It was developed by National Trading & Developing Est., with Dubai Contracting Co. (DCC Group) as the main contractor, and was completed in May 2016 after construction began in 2014. The building holds a limited collection of around 22 full-floor residences, from 2-bedroom penthouses of roughly 3,934 sq ft up to 4-bedroom penthouses of 4,700 to 6,000 sq ft, set behind a distinctive solid white lattice facade credited to the architecture studio DXB Lab.
In 2024, the building was rebranded Eden House Marasi under H&H Development’s growing Eden House portfolio, which also includes Eden House Al Satwa and Eden House The Canal, both separate buildings in different parts of Dubai. The physical tower itself did not change: this is the same 2016-completed building, refreshed under new branding and marketing rather than rebuilt. Most property portals, including Bayut, Property Finder and Dubricks, still list the address as Residence 22, which is the name this guide leads with, alongside its current Eden House Marasi branding.
Storey count is disclosed with a minor variance: 24 storeys, per two independent property portals (Bayut and famproperties.com), against 23 storeys stated in H'H Development's own post-rebrand Eden House Marasi marketing copy. 24 is used here as the primary figure. Unit count is consistently cited as 22 across both the original Residence 22 marketing and the current Eden House Marasi copy, though the post-rebrand copy describes the collection more broadly as a mix of grand penthouses and studios rather than exclusively full-floor penthouses as originally marketed; both descriptions are disclosed here rather than resolved into one exact unit-type breakdown, since no source gives a specific studio count or size.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
Residence 22 (Eden House Marasi) sits on Marasi Drive, directly along the Dubai Water Canal, with views over the water toward the Downtown Dubai skyline. Downtown Dubai, Dubai Mall, Dubai Opera, DIFC and Dubai Design District (d3) are all a short drive away, making it one of the more centrally-placed canal-front addresses in Business Bay.
Residence 22 joins Royale Stays' wider Business Bay Building Guide cluster alongside Rove Home Marasi Drive, on the same street, Vela Viento by Omniyat, in the same immediate stretch of the canal, and Residence 110, a separate Business Bay tower that shares both the area’s “Residence [count]” naming convention and, like this building, was developed in partnership with National Trading & Developing Est.

Unit Types
Residence 22 is a boutique, full-floor building rather than a high-volume tower: original marketing describes 2-bedroom penthouses of roughly 3,934 sq ft and 4-bedroom penthouses ranging from 4,700 to 6,000 sq ft, each occupying an entire floor with private elevator access. Post-rebrand Eden House Marasi copy describes the same 22-residence collection more broadly as a mix of grand penthouses and studios, but does not give specific studio sizes or a studio-to-penthouse split, so that detail is not stated here as a precise figure. Exact current layouts and finishes should be confirmed with a live listing.
Amenities
Residence 22’s amenities include concierge, valet and housekeeping services, on-site security and maintenance, a rooftop swimming pool and seating area, a fitness centre with an outdoor fitness area, and a spa with steam room, sauna and jacuzzi. The building’s substructure includes basement parking levels. This is a fuller, more service-led amenity set than most Business Bay towers, reflecting the building’s boutique, full-floor positioning.
Transportation & Access
From Residence 22’s Marasi Drive address, Downtown Dubai, Burj Khalifa and The Dubai Mall are all a short drive away, and Business Bay Metro Station on the Red Line is reachable in roughly 5 to 10 minutes by car. Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Khail Road are both close by, giving quick access across the rest of the city, and Dubai International Airport (DXB) is approximately 15 to 20 minutes away in typical traffic.
Rental & Price Trends
As a steer for what a Business Bay unit at Residence 22’s scale could earn on short stays, Royale Stays’ own portfolio data across the area currently blends to roughly AED 801 a night and 88 percent occupancy for two-bedroom units, around AED 21,874 a month, and AED 1,212 a night and 88 percent occupancy for three-bedroom units, around AED 33,159 a month. Residence 22’s own units run larger than most of the buildings behind these figures, being full-floor penthouses rather than standard 2-3 bedroom layouts, so a well-presented unit here could reasonably outperform these area-blended averages. These are area and building-scale benchmarks rather than a guarantee for any specific unit, and actual short-stay performance depends on the unit’s size, floor, view and how it is furnished and managed.
Airbnb / Short-Term Rental Income Potential
Residence 22 (Eden House Marasi) has been complete and occupied since 2016, so it sits in an established part of the Business Bay rental market. It is a standard freehold residential tower with no hotel branding of its own, which means owners can apply for a DTCM holiday home permit in the normal way and are not routed through a special hotel-management process.
Business Bay is one of Dubai’s most consistently in-demand short-stay areas thanks to its canal setting, walkable Downtown Dubai proximity, and steady pull for both business and leisure travellers, and a well-presented full-floor unit at Residence 22 is a strong fit for that demand given its scale and canal-front position. Royale Stays handles furnishing, photography, pricing, check-in and guest communications for owners here, with management fees starting from 15%. Owners ready to see real numbers for their unit can submit their property for a free assessment, and the full permit process is covered in Royale Stays’ holiday home permit guide.
Income figures reflect Royale Stays' area-level Business Bay management context, reviewed by Chris Veinbaums, DTCM-licensed operator, and are not a building-specific guarantee for Residence 22.
