About Dubai Creek Residences South Tower 3
Dubai Creek Residences South Tower 3 is a residential tower on Creek Island in Dubai Creek Harbour, developed by Emaar Properties. It is one of three numbered towers, South Tower 1, South Tower 2 and South Tower 3, that together make up the Dubai Creek Residences South development, part of Emaar's wider Dubai Creek Residences launch at Creek Harbour.
Because two other towers share this development's name almost exactly, it is worth being specific: this guide covers South Tower 3 only. South Tower 1 and South Tower 2 are already covered separately in Royale Stays' Dubai Creek Harbour Building Guide cluster.
Dubai Creek Residences South Tower 3 joins Royale Stays' wider Dubai Creek Harbour Building Guide cluster alongside Dubai Creek Residence South Tower 1 and Dubai Creek Residence South Tower 2, the other Dubai Creek Residences South towers Royale Stays covers.
Storey count for this tower is reported inconsistently across sources: bayut.com's direct fact table and dubricks.com's summary bullet both state 35 floors, while The Skyscraper Center's own figure (27 floors) is explicitly self-caveated there as a height-based estimate rather than a confirmed direct count, and dubricks.com's own descriptive text separately states 29 floors elsewhere on the same page. This guide uses 35 as the majority figure.

Airbnb and Short-Term Rental Income Potential at Dubai Creek Residences South Tower 3
Short-term letting anywhere in Dubai, including at Dubai Creek Residences South Tower 3, runs through a DTCM holiday home permit, the same licensing requirement that applies regardless of building or area. South Tower 3 is a standard Emaar-developed freehold apartment tower, not a Vida-branded hotel property, so it carries no confirmed short-term-letting prohibition.
