Creek Heights Residences, Dubai Healthcare City
Creek Heights Residences is a 43-storey residential tower in Healthcare City Phase 1, Umm Hurair 2, Bur Dubai, developed by Wasl Asset Management Group through its subsidiary Creek Heights Properties. The tower sits alongside, but is a physically and functionally separate building from, the adjacent Creek Heights Hotel, operated as the Hyatt Regency Creek Heights hotel: the two together form the wider Hyatt Regency Creek Heights complex. Creek Heights Residences holds 405 freehold apartments across studio, 1, 2 and 3-bedroom layouts, completed in 2015. This guide covers the residential tower specifically: its building profile, location and honest Airbnb income potential, with management available from Royale Stays for a fee starting from 15%.

About Creek Heights Residences
Creek Heights Residences is a 43-storey residential tower in Healthcare City Phase 1, part of Umm Hurair 2, Bur Dubai, developed by Wasl Asset Management Group through its subsidiary Creek Heights Properties. The tower contains 405 freehold residential apartments across studio, 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom and 3-bedroom layouts, including some 1-bedroom duplex units, and was completed in 2015.
Creek Heights Residences is one of two separate buildings that together make up the wider Hyatt Regency Creek Heights complex. The other building, Creek Heights Hotel, is the operating Hyatt Regency Creek Heights hotel with 463 rooms including 95 suites. The two buildings share a podium and some amenities, but Creek Heights Residences is a distinct, individually-owned freehold residential tower, not hotel inventory. It should also not be confused with a separate, unrelated 10-storey commercial office building in the same Umm Hurair Second area that is also marketed under the bare name "Creek Heights" without "Residences" or "Hyatt Regency" attached.
Building structure, developer and unit count confirmed via propsearch.ae (three separate pages: the Hyatt Regency Creek Heights umbrella, Creek Heights Hotel, and Creek Heights Residences), profoundproperties.com and bayut.com. The 405-apartment residential count and 463-room hotel count both independently confirm propsearch's 868-unit complex-wide total (405 + 463 = 868).

Unit Types

Airbnb & Short-Term Rental Income Potential
Dubai Healthcare City 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 Creek Heights Residences specifically. Creek Heights Residences also sits alongside a Hyatt-branded serviced-apartment product visible on booking platforms such as Booking.com and Tripadvisor, reflecting an in-house Hyatt rental program run across some of the building’s units; an owner who wants to run their own short-term rental separately from that in-house program follows the same route as any other hotel-adjacent building.
Every short-term rental in Dubai requires a DTCM holiday home permit. For a hotel-adjacent building like Creek Heights Residences, that permit is arranged through the building’s own management company rather than as a standalone owner application, and Royale Stays can coordinate that process 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.
