About Address Residences The Bay
Address Residences The Bay is a 68-storey residential tower with two basement levels, developed by Emaar Properties through its Emaar Development subsidiary on Emaar Beachfront, the man-made peninsula Emaar built at Dubai Harbour between Palm Jumeirah and Dubai Marina. The tower is branded in partnership with Address Hotels + Resorts, Emaar’s own upscale hospitality label, and is due for handover in December 2026.
“Address Residences” is a brand Emaar uses across several unrelated Dubai projects, including towers in Downtown Dubai, Dubai Creek Harbour and Dubai Hills Estate. This building is specifically the one on Emaar Beachfront, sold under the name “Address Residences The Bay” (also seen written as “Address The Bay”), a single standalone tower rather than a multi-building complex, confirmed by Property Finder’s own project data listing one building on this plot.
The building comprises one, two and three-bedroom apartments, three and four-bedroom penthouses, and three-bedroom townhouses. Sales launched around November 2022 and the project is now sold out on the primary market, though units continue to trade on the resale market, with Dubai Land Department transaction records showing sales as recent as August 2026.
Two closely-aligned unit-count figures appear across sources: propsearch.ae's own building guide states an estimated 471 units, while a Metropolitan Premium Properties listing states 452 residential apartments and penthouses (the difference may reflect whether townhouses or retail space are counted separately, though no source states that reconciliation explicitly). Both figures are disclosed here rather than one being silently chosen.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
Address Residences The Bay sits within Emaar Beachfront, a man-made peninsula at Dubai Harbour between Palm Jumeirah and Dubai Marina, with residents sharing access to a private beach along the Arabian Gulf. Emaar Beachfront has its own dedicated Royale Stays area guide covering location, connectivity and the wider rental market context.
The location is roughly 10 to 14 minutes from Dubai Marina and Palm Jumeirah, around 19 minutes from Burj Al Arab, 24 to 25 minutes from Downtown Dubai and Dubai Mall, and roughly 31 to 37 minutes from Dubai’s two airports (DXB and Al Maktoum International), based on matching drive-time figures from propsearch.ae and Luxhabitat. Royale Stays also covers other Emaar Beachfront developments in separate Building Guides: Beachgate by Address and Beach Isle, each with its own layout, unit mix and outlook.
Unit Types & Sizes
Address Residences The Bay offers one-bedroom apartments from around 750 to 911 sq ft, two-bedroom apartments from around 1,264 to 1,836 sq ft, and three-bedroom apartments around 1,944 sq ft, plus three and four-bedroom penthouses from around 3,047 sq ft and three-bedroom townhouses, confirmed via Bayut’s size table and cross-checked against Property Finder’s live floor-plan grid, which independently lists a 2,675 to 2,714 sq ft townhouse type.
Amenities
Residents have access to a beach pool and a separate kids’ pool, a fully-equipped gymnasium, a kids’ play area, a barbeque area, covered parking and multiple high-speed elevators, confirmed across Bayut’s building guide and a Binayah project listing, which additionally notes a common garden, concierge service and an infinity pool. Residents also share Emaar Beachfront’s private beach and waterfront promenade with the rest of the peninsula.
Pricing, Payment Plan & Sales Status
Address Residences The Bay launched with one-bedroom apartments priced from roughly AED 2.6 to 2.9 million, based on figures from Property Finder (AED 2,900,000) and Luxhabitat (AED 2,700,000) at different points in the sales cycle. The project is now sold out on the primary market, per Property Finder’s own status banner, though Dubai Land Department transaction records show active resale trading, including a 1-bedroom flat at AED 2.98 million (840 sq ft) and a 2-bedroom flat at AED 2.99 million (711 sq ft), both dated August 2026.
The original off-plan payment plan followed Emaar’s standard staged structure: 10% at booking, followed by eight further instalments (10%, 10%, 5%, 5%, 10%, 10% and 10%) through construction, with the final 20% due at handover in December 2026, per Bayut’s published milestone schedule. This reflects the original developer sales terms rather than current resale listing terms, which vary by seller.
Construction & Handover Timeline
Construction on Address Residences The Bay began around November 2022, with handover expected in December 2026 (Q4 2026), a figure consistent across propsearch.ae, Bayut and Property Finder. As of this guide, handover is roughly three months away, making this one of the more near-term off-plan Emaar Beachfront projects still to deliver.
No source consulted for this guide claims handover has already occurred; December 2026/Q4 2026 is stated consistently as the target date, not a completed delivery.
Airbnb & Short-Term Rental Potential
Short-term letting anywhere in Dubai requires a DTCM holiday-home permit. Because Address Residences The Bay is an Address Hotels + Resorts branded building managed in partnership with Emaar, the permit here is arranged through the building’s own management company rather than as a standalone owner application, the same routing already used for Royale Stays’ other Address-branded Building Guides. Royale Stays handles that coordination directly on an owner’s behalf.
Royale Stays does not currently manage a property at Address Residences The Bay, so no occupancy or income figure is stated here on the company’s behalf. With handover still around three months out at the time of this guide, no confirmed short-term rental listings or performance data exist yet for this specific building; owners can expect that picture to develop once units are handed over and furnished.
Full-service management for a Dubai apartment, wherever it sits within Royale Stays’ coverage area, covers furnishing, photography, pricing, guest communications and maintenance coordination, for a fee starting from 15%, with a single monthly statement covering revenue, fee, costs and net transfer. Owners planning ahead of handover can submit their property for a free earnings estimate.
No Royale Stays-managed unit currently exists at Address Residences The Bay, and no building-specific short-term rental listing or income figure was identified during this research, consistent with the building not yet having reached handover. This guide does not claim a specific short-term rental income figure for this building. Income context reviewed by Chris Veinbaums, DTCM-licensed operator.
