About Elite 1 Sports Residence
Elite 1 Sports Residence is a 10-storey (G+9) residential building in Dubai Sports City, developed by Triplanet Range Group through its subsidiary Triplanet International Ltd. Construction began in February 2008 and finished in April 2012. The building holds 260 freehold apartments across studio, one- and two-bedroom layouts.
Elite 1 is the first of ten numbered buildings in the wider Elite Sports Residence complex (Elite 1 through Elite 10), all developed by the same Triplanet group but each a separate, individually registered building with its own storey count and unit count. Royale Stays already covers sibling towers elsewhere in Dubai Sports City, including Elite Sports Residence 5, a taller, separate 20-storey building, Elite 4 Sports Residence, a separate 14-storey, 251-unit building, and Elite 9 Sports Residence, a separate 23-storey, 288-unit building; each shares a developer and a naming convention only. The Dubai Land Department's own transaction records list this specific building under the alternate word order "Elite Residence 1", the same property marketed elsewhere as "Elite 1 Sports Residence" or "Elite Sports Residence 1".

Airbnb & Short-Term Rental Income Potential
Dubai Sports 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 Elite 1 Sports Residence specifically. Triplanet Range Group is the building's developer rather than a restricted hotel brand, so there is no confirmed policy barrier to running a licensed holiday home here.
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.
