About Cresswell Residences
Cresswell Residences is a seven-storey (G+6) residential building under development in Dubai South Residential District, part of Dubai South. The project comprises 72 apartments across one-, two- and three-bedroom layouts. Construction began in December 2023, with an estimated handover of Q4 2025 to Q1 2026 depending on the source.
Sources differ on who the project's primary developer is: Propsearch and Square Yards both credit Abdulwahed Faqeeh Properties, with Square Yards branding the project "Abdulwahed Cresswell Residences" directly. Property Finder and several broker listings instead credit ESNAD Management. Both names are disclosed here rather than silently picking one, since the underlying building, unit count and pricing are unambiguous across every source regardless of which name is treated as the developer of record.
Unit count, storeys and construction start date cross-confirmed via Propsearch and Square Yards. Developer-name split sourced from Propsearch (Abdulwahed Faqeeh Properties) and Property Finder (ESNAD Management), both independently checked.

Unit mix confirmed via Propsearch, Square Yards, Bayut and Property Finder. Unit sizes sourced from Bayut's project listing; other portals show slightly different size figures for the same layouts, most likely reflecting different unit variants within each bedroom count.

Amenities cross-confirmed via Propsearch, Bayut and thecapitaldubai.com's project listing.
Transportation & Access
Dubai South sits directly off Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road and Emirates Road, giving Cresswell Residences quick access to Al Maktoum International Airport and Expo City Dubai, both just minutes away. The area is further from Dubai's established tourist and business districts than the city's core neighbourhoods, so most residents and guests will rely on a car for day-to-day travel.
Road access and airport/Expo City proximity sourced from Bayut's Cresswell Residences project page and thecapitaldubai.com's listing. No metro or tram distance specific to this building was independently confirmed and none is stated.
Sale Price & Market Trends
Starting prices vary somewhat by listing source and date. One-bedroom units start from approximately AED 718,000 to AED 800,000. Two-bedroom units start from approximately AED 1,190,000 to AED 1,439,000. Three-bedroom units start from approximately AED 1,480,000 to AED 1,804,000. As a recently completed or newly handed-over off-plan project, Cresswell Residences does not yet have an established Dubai Land Department resale or rental transaction history in the sources checked for this guide.
Price ranges sourced from thecapitaldubai.com (lower figures) and Bayut (higher figures); both agree on unit mix and price tier, with the gap most likely reflecting different listing dates or specific unit inventory rather than a data error in either source. No independent rental-transaction data was found for this building at the time of research.
Airbnb & Short-Term Rental Income Potential
Dubai South is not currently one of Royale Stays' five core managed areas (Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Marina, Downtown Dubai, JBR and Business Bay), so this guide does not claim a Royale Stays management track record at Cresswell Residences specifically. Abdulwahed Faqeeh Properties and ESNAD Management are both private real estate developers rather than a restricted hotel brand, so there is no confirmed policy barrier to running a licensed holiday home in the building.
Every short-term rental in Dubai requires a DTCM holiday home permit. Royale Stays can arrange the permit application and manage the day-to-day operation, including for owners based overseas, for a fee starting from 15%, covering furnishing, photography, pricing, check-in and guest communications. See Royale Stays' Dubai holiday home permit guide for the current permit process.
