About Burj Pacific
Burj Pacific is a residential apartment tower in Business Bay, developed by Pacific Ventures Ltd in partnership with Sanctuary Tower Holding Ltd, on a plot (BB.B01.017) originally earmarked for a separate, since-cancelled project called Sanctuary Tower.
The building comprises an estimated 145 units across one, two and three-bedroom apartments plus duplexes: unfurnished layouts are reported on floors 6 to 13, and furnished layouts plus three-bedroom duplexes on floors 14 to 20. Burj Pacific's L-shaped footprint is designed to give more than 60 percent of units a Burj Khalifa view, according to aggregate listing data.
Burj Pacific should not be confused with Burj Capital, Burj Daman, Burj Al Nujoom or the many other Business Bay and Downtown Dubai towers that also use the generic Arabic word burj (tower) in their name. One single-source listing (proproperty.ae) attributes this project to a different, unconfirmed developer name ("RAK Ventures"); the Business Bay Burj Pacific covered in this guide is the Pacific Ventures Ltd/Sanctuary Tower Holding Ltd project on plot BB.B01.017, cross-confirmed via propsearch.ae, fam Properties and business-bay-dubai.ae.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
Burj Pacific sits in Business Bay's Burj Khalifa District sub-plot, within reach of the Dubai Water Canal and a short drive from Sheikh Zayed Road. Downtown Dubai's headline landmarks, including Burj Khalifa, The Dubai Mall and the Dubai Fountain, are close by given this Business Bay/Downtown-adjacent location, which is also why some portals list the project's area as "Downtown Dubai" rather than Business Bay; Dubai Land Department transaction records consistently record its Master Project/Area as Business Bay.

Unit Types
Burj Pacific offers an estimated 145 units across one, two and three-bedroom apartments plus three-bedroom duplexes. Unfurnished 1-3BR apartments are reported on floors 6 to 13, and furnished 1-3BR apartments plus 3BR duplexes on floors 14 to 20, according to aggregate listing data from propsearch.ae and fam Properties.
Amenities
Reported amenities include two swimming pools, a gymnasium, sauna and steam room, gated parking and 24-hour concierge service, according to propsearch.ae and fam Properties. As with the rest of the building, these are planned/reported features rather than confirmed-built ones given the project's under-development status.
Development Timeline & Status
Construction on Burj Pacific began in January 2012, with an original estimated handover of March 2017 that has long since passed. As of this guide's research date, propsearch.ae's own live building-status tracker (last updated 11 July 2026) still lists Burj Pacific as "Under development," and Dubai Land Department transaction records reproduced by fam Properties show sale transactions as recent as February 2026 still registered as "Off-plan"/"Pre-registration Sale."
Public sources disagree sharply on where the project actually stands: one broker FAQ page states a completion date of 31 January 2023 (contradicted by the same site's own more recent, more detailed off-plan transaction records above), while a separate project-status discussion describes the development as under cancellation. Neither claim is corroborated elsewhere, so no single authoritative source confirms the building has been fully handed over. Anyone considering Burj Pacific for purchase, rental or short-term-rental management should confirm current handover, registration and title status directly with the developer or a licensed Dubai broker before making any decision.
Sources also disagree on the exact storey count (20 vs. 21, likely a ground/mezzanine counting difference) and on the developer name for one single-source listing (proproperty.ae attributes the project to "RAK Ventures"; three other named sources, propsearch.ae, fam Properties and business-bay-dubai.ae, consistently attribute it to Pacific Ventures Ltd and Sanctuary Tower Holding Ltd, which this guide follows).
Future STR Potential
Once a unit at Burj Pacific is confirmed handed over with clear title, short-term letting would follow the standard Dubai process: a DTCM holiday-home permit routed through the building's own management company. Neither Pacific Ventures Ltd nor Sanctuary Tower Holding Ltd carries a confirmed short-term-letting prohibition (unlike Vida-branded buildings), so there is no policy barrier once the building itself is ready.
Royale Stays manages short-term rentals across Business Bay for a fee starting from 15%, covering furnishing, photography, pricing, guest communications and maintenance. Owners who confirm a handed-over, titled unit at Burj Pacific can use the Dubai Property ROI Calculator to model potential returns once the unit is ready to list, and can reach out via Royale Stays' Airbnb property management service to discuss management once the building is confirmed ready.
