Developer, storeys, unit count and unit mix confirmed via propsearch.ae's Orion Building guide (updated 6 Apr 2026) and DXB Interact's Orion Building market-analysis page, which independently states the same developer and a matching residential unit count once its separate commercial-unit figure is accounted for. Completion year confirmed by both sources (propsearch.ae: February 2023; DXB Interact: April 2023), both placing completion in 2023; this guide does not commit to a specific month given the minor variance.

Airbnb & Short-Term Rental Income Potential
Arjan 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 Orion Building specifically. Orion Real Estate Development is a private real estate developer 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.
