Adhara Star, Arjan
Adhara Star is a 17-storey residential tower in Arjan, developed by Acube Real Estate Development (marketed as ACUBE Developments), a subsidiary of the ACUBE SFO DMCC group. It was the developer's debut Dubai project, launched in 2023 and formally handed over in November 2025. The building holds 113 apartments across one, two and three-bedroom layouts, plus ground-level retail space. This guide covers who developed it, what living there involves, and where Royale Stays' Airbnb management services apply across Dubai.

About the Building
ACUBE SFO DMCC describes itself as a single-family-owned group with over 20 years of commercial and residential development experience across the GCC, and Adhara Star was its first residential launch in Dubai. Construction began around May 2023, with an original completion target of Q1 2025 that slipped to a November 2025 handover, a common timeline shift for Dubai off-plan projects.
Independent press coverage of the handover, including Khaleej Times and Construction Business News Middle East, confirmed the building sold out within three months of its 2023 launch, well ahead of completion. Adhara Star combines 113 residential apartments with ground-level retail units and podium parking.
Sources describe Adhara Star's height two ways: pre-completion coverage (Construction Week Online, Propsearch, Property Finder) states 17 storeys, while post-handover coverage (Khaleej Times) describes the building as '113 units across 13 floors.' The two figures are consistent with a ground-plus-3-podium-plus-13-residential-floor layout (17 total levels); this guide uses 17 storeys as the overall building height, matching the majority of sources checked.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
Adhara Star sits in Arjan, part of the wider Dubailand area at the junction of Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311) and Umm Suqeim Street. Arjan is best known as home to Dubai Miracle Garden and Dubai Butterfly Garden, both a short drive from most buildings in the community.
Dubai Motor City and the Dubai Autodrome are roughly a 10-minute drive away, and neighbouring communities Al Barsha South, Jumeirah Village Circle and Dubai Sports City are all close by. Downtown Dubai, Dubai Marina, Palm Jumeirah and Business Bay are each roughly 15 to 20 minutes by car. Other Arjan buildings covered in Royale Stays' building guides include Samana Park Views, Uniestate Supreme Residence and DAMAC Westside, and the wider area is covered in Royale Stays' Airbnb management in Arjan overview.

One post-handover source describes unit types using half-numbered categories (for example 1.5 and 2.5-bedroom). This guide uses the simpler one, two and three-bedroom breakdown reported consistently by the building's dedicated listings on Propsearch and Property Finder, and by the developer's original launch coverage on Construction Week Online.

Sale Prices & What to Expect
Adhara Star launched with prices starting from around AED 999,000. Completed-unit transaction data puts the average sale price at roughly AED 1,440,000, and current listings average nearer AED 1,830,000, with three-bedroom units typically asking more. Reported unit sizes run from about 780 to 1,600 sq ft.
The building sold out within three months of its 2023 launch, according to independent coverage published around the 2025 handover, a sign of strong initial investor demand. As with most Arjan stock, Adhara Star is aimed primarily at investors and owner-occupiers buying freehold units rather than at tenants on standard long-term Ejari contracts, though both markets exist side by side in the area.
Current listing averages reflect asking prices on active portals at the time of research, not confirmed Dubai Land Department transaction records, and will move over time.
Airbnb & Short-Term Rental Income Potential
Royale Stays does not currently manage a property at Adhara Star. The company's Airbnb and holiday-home management services, covering furnishing, photography, pricing, guest communications, check-in and maintenance from a fee starting at 15%, are active across Dubai's freehold, short-term-rental-friendly communities.
A Dubai holiday-home permit from DTCM is required to legally let any unit short-term anywhere in the city, Adhara Star included. Freehold apartment buildings like this one, sold predominantly to investors rather than long-term tenants, are typically well suited to the short-term-rental model once a permit is arranged through the building's management.
