About Cricket Tower
Cricket Tower is a 15-storey residential building in Sports City, DubaiLand, Dubai, developed by Falak Properties. It is one of seven sports-themed residential buildings in the same complex, known as Falak Towers or Westgate Apartments: Hub Canal Tower 1, Hub Canal Tower 2, Golf Tower, Cricket Tower, Tennis Tower, Ice Hockey Tower and Baseball Tower.
The two Hub Canal towers sit by the canal near the sports stadia, while Cricket Tower and the other four sit closer to the golf course, near the intersection of Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road and Al Khail Road. Construction began in May 2007 and, per Dubai Land Department-linked records, was completed in September 2016, delivering a mix of studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments in the Al Hebiah Fourth sub-area of Sports City.
Developer (Falak Properties), storey count (15) and the seven-tower Falak Towers/Westgate Apartments grouping are sourced from propsearch.ae, independently corroborated on developer and storeys by bayut.com (bayut.com's own page also contains one internally-inconsistent line reading 'a 14-storey residential building', but its own structured 'Number of floors: 15' field and its own FAQ answer both separately confirm 15, matching propsearch.ae 3 to 1; treated as a template copy artifact, not a genuine second figure). Unit mix (studio, 1 and 2-bedroom apartments) confirmed by both sources. Disclosed conflict: propsearch.ae states 168 total units and a September 2016 completion (construction May 2007 to September 2016, consistent across its Timeline, Key Dates and Milestones sections); bayut.com states 140 total units and a 2011 completion. No third independent source or government building-count record could be found to break the tie; propsearch.ae's figures are used as the primary building-level facts here since they are directly tied to the building's own Dubai Land Department transaction history and were the most recently updated of the two sources (17 Oct 2025), but Bayut's differing figures are noted.

Unit Types at Cricket Tower
Cricket Tower offers studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments. Bayut.com states studio units run roughly 400 to 566 sq ft and one-bedroom units roughly 690 to 800 sq ft, closely matching the sizes seen on Dubai Land Department sale records for this building (studios 368 to 567 sq ft, one recorded one-bedroom sale at 695 sq ft). Two-bedroom units feature a master bedroom with an ensuite bathroom and dressing area, a kitchen, a powder room and a living area, though neither source available gives an exact size range for this unit type, and no two-bedroom sale appears in the visible sample of recent transaction records.
Unit mix and studio/one-bedroom size ranges confirmed by both propsearch.ae (Dubai Land Department Sale-type transaction records, Building Name field checked and confirmed uniformly 'Cricket Tower' across all 10 visible records, ruling out a shared-registration mixup with an adjacent Sports City building) and bayut.com (structured unit-type listing with size ranges). Two-bedroom layout description sourced from bayut.com only; no size range published by either source, and no two-bedroom sale appears in the 10-of-50-record propsearch.ae sample (a sampling limitation, not a claim that two-bedroom units never trade). Total unit count is disclosed as a source conflict in the About section above rather than repeated here.

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 Cricket Tower specifically. Falak Properties is a standard residential 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, through a service starting from 15% covering furnishing, photography, pricing, check-in and guest communications. See Royale Stays' Airbnb management services, its Dubai holiday home permit guide, or submit your property to get started.
Royale Stays has no current partnership, affiliation, or commercial relationship with Falak Properties. This page is an independent building guide for owners and investors researching the project.
