About Palace Residences Creek Blue
Palace Residences Creek Blue is an off-plan residential development in Dubai Creek Harbour, developed by Emaar Properties in partnership with Palace Hotels + Resorts, part of Emaar’s hospitality portfolio alongside Address Hotels + Resorts and Vida Hotels and Resorts. The project sits within the Creek Beach district of Dubai Creek Harbour (The Lagoons) and offers branded 1, 2 and 3-bedroom apartments.
Palace Residences Creek Blue should not be confused with other Emaar developments carrying the same Palace brand name elsewhere in Dubai, including Creek Palace Residences and Palace Residences North, both also in Dubai Creek Harbour but separate, distinctly registered projects, as well as Palace Residences Hillside in Dubai Hills Estate, the Palace Beach Residence towers at Emaar Beachfront, and Avarra by Palace in Business Bay. Dubai Land Department transaction records list Creek Palace Residences under the separate project name "Palace Residences" (no "Creek Blue" suffix), independently confirming Creek Blue is registered as its own distinct master project rather than a later phase of an existing one. This guide covers Palace Residences Creek Blue only.
Sources disagree on the building's own structure: one source describes Palace Residences Creek Blue as a single 55-storey tower, while another describes it as a multi-building complex comprising two towers, Tower 1 and Tower 2, of 54 and 16 storeys respectively (plus one basement level). Total unit count is reported at approximately 592 units by one source only and could not be independently cross-confirmed. Starting price also varies by reference point: one source cites the original 2024 sales-launch price at approximately AED 1.87 million, while a separate source's current listing floor is approximately AED 3.8 million, most likely reflecting price appreciation since launch rather than a contradiction. This guide does not assert a single unresolved figure for storey/tower count or total unit count as fact.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
Palace Residences Creek Blue sits within the Creek Beach district of Dubai Creek Harbour (The Lagoons), Emaar’s waterfront master community on the banks of Dubai Creek. The development is close to Creekside Park and Creek Island Central Park, with Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary, Al Badia Golf Club and Dubai Festival City Mall all within a few kilometres, and Downtown Dubai, Burj Khalifa and Dubai International Airport a short drive away.
Dubai Creek Harbour already has a wide range of other buildings covered separately on royalestays.com, including Palace Residences North, Creek Palace Residences and Address Grand Creek Harbour Tower 1, one of the closest live neighbouring buildings to Creek Blue’s own location. See our Dubai Creek Harbour Airbnb management guide for a fuller picture of holiday-home management across the wider community.
Unit Types
Palace Residences Creek Blue offers 1, 2 and 3-bedroom apartments. 1-bedroom units range from approximately 727 to 910 sq ft, 2-bedroom units range from approximately 1,119 to 1,233 sq ft, and 3-bedroom units are sized at approximately 1,774 sq ft.
Amenities
The development’s podium level is dedicated to lifestyle amenities, including a multipurpose room, games room, several swimming pools, a glass-walled pavilion gym overlooking the pools, a padel court, designated BBQ and picnic areas, a kids’ play area, landscaped gardens, retail outlets, a cycling track and a waterfront promenade, with beach access nearby.
Sales & Development Status
Palace Residences Creek Blue launched for sale on 1 August 2024, with construction beginning shortly after and handover expected in March 2029 (Q1 2029), a figure confirmed consistently across independent sources. The payment plan is structured as 10% on booking, 80% during construction and the remaining 10% on handover.
Original 2024 launch pricing started from approximately AED 1.87 million; current listed availability for remaining units starts from approximately AED 3.8 million, most likely reflecting typical off-plan price appreciation between launch and today rather than a change to the original terms.
Future STR Potential
Palace Residences Creek Blue is still under construction, so there is no current Airbnb listing, income figure or occupancy data to report for this building. Once delivered in 2029, the development’s waterfront location, hospitality-brand positioning and resort-style amenities would put it in a strong position for holiday-home demand, similar to other hospitality-branded developments already popular with short-term guests in Dubai Creek Harbour. Emaar Properties is not a hotel brand with a confirmed short-term-letting prohibition, unlike Vida Hotels and Resorts, the only developer confirmed to prohibit it outright, so there is no policy reason Palace Residences Creek Blue could not be managed as a holiday home after handover, subject to the building’s own management company arranging permit routing at that time. Royale Stays already manages short-term rentals across Dubai Creek Harbour and could extend the same service here once units are delivered and ready.
