About Al Manal 2 Residence
Al Manal 2 Residence is a mid-rise residential building of roughly 10 to 11 storeys 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 September 2017.
The building was originally registered as La Vista Residence 4, one of a group of seven mid-rise residential buildings Al Manal Development built across Dubai Silicon Oasis as the wider Al Manal Residence complex, before being renamed Al Manal 2 Residence. The adjacent building in the same complex, Al Manal 1 Residence, is a separate building, not the same property under a different name. A third sibling, Al Manal Pearl, is also a distinct building in the same developer's Silicon Oasis portfolio. 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 2 Residence range from approximately AED 62,000 to AED 90,000 per year across 24 active studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom listings on Property Finder.
Propsearch.ae's listed project value for this building, AED 36,700,000, is a pre-construction developer cost estimate for the whole project rather than a per-unit sale price, and is not used as a pricing reference in this guide. No individual apartment resale (DLD transaction) data was accessible for this building at the time of research, so this guide relies on current rental-listing prices instead.
Rental range sourced from Property Finder's live Al Manal Residence 2 listings page (schema.org AggregateOffer data, live-fetched 2026-09-11: low AED 62,000, high AED 90,000, offerCount 24). Project-value caveat sourced from Propsearch.ae's own Al Manal 2 Residence page (live-fetched 2026-09-11), which itself labels the AED 36,700,000 figure as "Estimate submitted by the developer prior to construction; final cost may differ."
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 2 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.
