About Al Manal 1 Residence
Al Manal 1 Residence is an 11-storey residential building in Dubai Silicon Oasis, developed by Al Manal Development. The building comprises 120 apartments across studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom layouts. Construction began in May 2008 and completed in April 2018.
The building was originally registered as La Vista Residence 5, one of a group of seven residential buildings Al Manal Development built across Dubai Silicon Oasis, before being renamed Al Manal 1 Residence. Two related but separate Al Manal Development projects in the same district, Al Manal 2 Residence and Al Manal Pearl, are distinct buildings and not the same property as this one. Al Manal Development itself was founded by Mr. Juma Al-Ghurair and has been active in Dubai property development, leasing and management since 1991.

Rental Price & Market Trends
Current live rental listings for Al Manal 1 Residence range from approximately AED 62,000 to AED 94,990 per year across studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom units on Property Finder, with Bayut listings for the same building showing a broadly similar AED 64,999 to AED 134,999 per year range.
The Dubai Land Department's published transaction history for this building, visible via Propsearch.ae, consists of portfolio mortgage registrations and modifications against the building's shared freehold land title rather than individual apartment sales: each entry lists dozens of co-owners as "sellers" against a single lender as "buyer", covering the whole 955 sq ft registered plot. No reliable individual apartment resale price is available from the DLD data checked for this guide, so this guide relies on current rental-listing prices instead.
Rental range sourced from Property Finder's live Al Manal Residence 1 listings page (schema.org AggregateOffer data, live-fetched 2026-09-11: low AED 62,000, high AED 94,990) and Bayut's listing range for the same building (general web search cross-check). DLD transaction caveat sourced from Propsearch.ae's own detailed transaction table for Al Manal 1 Residence (Property Type: Land, Transaction Type: Portfolio Mortgage Registration/Modification, 93 to 133 sellers against 1 buyer across the sampled entries), live-fetched 2026-09-11.
Airbnb & Short-Term Rental Income Potential
Dubai Silicon Oasis 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 Al Manal 1 Residence specifically. Al Manal Development is a private, family-founded 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.
