About Alexis Tower
Alexis Tower is a residential apartment tower in Downtown Jebel Ali, Dubai, developed by Reportage Properties. Construction began in March 2019, and the Dubai Land Department’s own project milestones show the building finished in May 2024, though one other listing source states 2025; this guide uses the Land Department-sourced date as the primary figure and flags the small discrepancy here rather than picking one silently.
The building rises 17 storeys (also described as G+16, ground floor plus 16 upper floors, by one source) with three basement parking levels, standing roughly 69 metres tall. It holds 370 apartments across a mix of studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom layouts, plus 8 retail units on the ground floor. Alexis Tower sits in a designated freehold area, meaning full property ownership is open to both UAE residents and foreign nationals.
Sources differ slightly on two secondary details: completion year (Dubai Land Department milestone data via propsearch.ae states May 2024; Bayut's own building guide states 2025) and storey-count convention (propsearch.ae states 17 storeys plus 3 basement levels; Bayut states G+16, a different way of counting the same building). Both are disclosed here rather than resolved to a single figure, since neither source is clearly wrong, just counted differently.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
Alexis Tower sits in Downtown Jebel Ali, a mixed-use masterplan district on Sheikh Zayed Road near the Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA). Downtown Jebel Ali is a genuine residential and commercial community, not an industrial or labor-accommodation zone, despite sitting close to Jebel Ali’s port and free-zone areas; Dubai Land Department records classify every sampled unit in the building under Property Use: Residential.
Nearby landmarks include Expo City Dubai (roughly 6.2 km away), Expo Park (roughly 5.5 km), and Jebel Ali Golf Resort & Spa (roughly 6.8 km). Several hotels sit within a short drive, including Rove Expo 2020 and Oaks Ibn Battuta Gate Dubai. Families researching the area can also note Greenfield International School (roughly 6.2 km away) and Durham School Dubai (roughly 6.9 km away) among the nearest options.

Unit Types
Alexis Tower’s unit types span studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments across several lettered floor-plan variations. Dubai Land Department transaction records show studio units as small as 357 sq ft, one-bedroom units in the 551 to 795 sq ft range, and two-bedroom units from roughly 820 to 1,176 sq ft. The ground floor also includes 8 retail units.
Unit size ranges reflect the range reported across sampled Dubai Land Department transactions and public floor-plan listings; individual unit sizes vary by exact layout type within the building.
Amenities
Alexis Tower’s confirmed on-building amenities include a swimming pool, a separate kids’ swimming pool, landscaped gardens, a gymnasium, ground-floor retail units, and covered parking across three basement levels. These amenities are listed consistently by the developer’s own project page and independent building-guide sources.
Transportation & Access
Alexis Tower is roughly a 1-minute walk from UAE Exchange metro station on the Red Line, and sits close to Sheikh Zayed Road for onward driving access across Dubai. Calculated drive times from the building are approximately 24 minutes to Dubai Mall, 16 minutes to Palm Jumeirah, 21 minutes to Burj Al Arab, and 17 minutes to The Walk at JBR.
For air travel, Dubai International Airport (DXB) is roughly a 32-minute drive, while the newer Al Maktoum International Airport near Jebel Ali is roughly 23 minutes away, making Alexis Tower one of the more convenient buildings in Dubai for guests flying through the southern airport.
Price Guide: Alexis Tower
Dubai Land Department transaction records show an active resale market at Alexis Tower. Recent recorded sales and mortgage registrations include a 706 sq ft one-bedroom unit at AED 460,000, a 605 sq ft one-bedroom unit sold for AED 750,000, another 605 sq ft one-bedroom unit registered at AED 600,000, and a 357 sq ft studio around AED 510,000, all within the past two months of Land Department records at the time of research. Per-square-foot prices in these transactions ranged from roughly AED 650 to AED 1,430, reflecting differences in unit condition, floor and exact layout rather than a single fixed market rate.
These figures come from Dubai Land Department transaction records (via propsearch.ae's public building guide, which sources directly from DLD's Open Data feed), not broker asking prices. Actual current asking prices for available units may differ; buyers and investors should confirm current pricing directly with a licensed Dubai broker.
Airbnb & Short-Term Rental Income Potential
Reportage Properties is a private Dubai developer, not a hotel-brand operator, so Alexis Tower carries no confirmed short-term-letting prohibition of the kind that applies to hotel-branded buildings such as Vida. Alexis Tower also sits in a designated freehold area, which generally supports the standard Dubai short-term rental process: a DTCM holiday-home permit, arranged through the building’s own management company where the operator is not the owner of record.
A metro-adjacent Downtown Jebel Ali address, a straightforward studio-to-two-bedroom unit mix, and proximity to both Al Maktoum International Airport and Expo City Dubai give Alexis Tower a reasonable short-term rental profile once ownership and permit steps are confirmed. Royale Stays manages short-term rentals across Dubai for a fee starting from 15%, covering furnishing, photography, pricing, guest communications and maintenance. Owners at Alexis Tower can use the Dubai Property ROI Calculator to model potential returns, and can reach out via Royale Stays’ Airbnb property management service to discuss management.
