About Al Batha Tower
Al Batha Tower is a 48-storey residential apartment tower on Sheikh Zayed Road in Business Bay, Dubai, completed in July 2019 after construction that began in January 2016. The building holds 223 units across exclusively 2-bedroom and 3-bedroom layouts, ranging from around 1,300 to 1,400 square feet for two-bedroom apartments up to roughly 2,100 square feet for three-bedroom apartments, with no studio or one-bedroom units in the building. It was developed by H.H. Sheikh Sultan Bin Mohammed Bin Sultan Al Qassimi and designed by Khatib and Alami, whose facade design slants the building’s curtain walls outward every six floors, a detail the architects have compared to Taipei 101.
Worth noting for anyone researching the name: Al Batha Tower in Business Bay is a 48-storey residential apartment building, not the same as the similarly-named 24-storey Al Batha Tower office building in Al Majaz, Sharjah, which is a separate commercial-only project developed by Al Batha Real Estate.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
Al Batha Tower sits on Sheikh Zayed Road in Business Bay, close to the Dubai Canal and within easy reach of Downtown Dubai. Bay Avenue Mall and Park is about half a kilometre away, with Business Bay West Park roughly 0.6 kilometres from the building. The Dubai Fountains at Dubai Mall are around 1.5 kilometres away, and Boxpark, including its Roxy Cinema, is about 1.6 kilometres away, both an easy walk or a short drive for residents and guests.
Al Batha Tower joins Royale Stays’ wider Business Bay Building Guide cluster, alongside J One, Mayfair Tower and Tiara United Towers, three of the other towers Royale Stays has covered in the same community.
Unit Types
Al Batha Tower offers exclusively 2-bedroom and 3-bedroom apartments across its 223 units. Two-bedroom apartments range from around 1,300 to 1,400 square feet and include three bathrooms, a powder room for guests, built-in wardrobes, a dedicated storage room and a spacious kitchen with pre-installed cabinets, with balconies facing the surrounding community. Three-bedroom apartments run to roughly 2,100 square feet, with four bathrooms, a powder room, a storage room and two balconies. There are no studio or one-bedroom units in the building, which makes it a natural fit for small families, sharers, or longer-stay guests who want more space than a typical Business Bay studio or one-bedroom.
Amenities
Amenities include a swimming pool, gymnasium and sauna, all located in the tower’s separate nine-storey parking annex rather than on the main tower’s roof. The building also offers covered car parking, 24-hour CCTV monitoring, working elevators, and is pet-friendly.
Transportation & Access
Al Batha Tower is roughly a 3-minute walk from Business Bay Metro Station, putting most of Dubai’s Metro Red Line within easy reach without needing a car. Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall Metro Station is about a 2-minute drive away, and the building’s Sheikh Zayed Road location means Downtown Dubai, DIFC and the wider Business Bay canal district are all close by for guests who want to explore on foot or by taxi.
Rental & Price Trends
Al Batha Tower is a fully completed, actively let and actively resold building, with individual two- and three-bedroom units regularly listed for rent and sale by Dubai’s major property portals and agencies. Royale Stays has not independently verified a building-specific rental or occupancy figure for Al Batha Tower at this time. Across Business Bay more broadly, two-bedroom short-term rentals have averaged around AED 801 a night at roughly 88% occupancy, about AED 21,874 a month, and three-bedroom short-term rentals have averaged around AED 1,212 a night at a similar occupancy rate, about AED 33,159 a month, figures that line up closely with Al Batha Tower’s own 2-bedroom and 3-bedroom-only unit mix, even though they are area-blended rather than building-specific.
Airbnb / Short-Term Rental Income Potential
Al Batha Tower is a standard freehold residential building, not a hotel-branded or serviced-apartment property, so there is no confirmed restriction on running a short-term rental here, and the usual Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism holiday-home permit process applies.
No direct third-party short-term-rental listing specifically for Al Batha Tower was found during this research pass, so this guide does not claim an existing STR track record for the building itself; the Business Bay area-level figures above give a realistic sense of what comparable 2-bedroom and 3-bedroom units in the area are earning. Owners considering Al Batha Tower for short-term letting can reach out to Royale Stays for a building-specific earnings estimate, furnishing and setup, professional photography, dynamic pricing, guest communications and maintenance coordination, all for a management fee starting from 15%.
