About Azayez Al Barsha
Azayez Al Barsha, more commonly listed on property portals as Azayez Building, is a 278-unit residential tower in Al Barsha 1, Dubai, developed by Dubai Investments through its subsidiary Dubai Investments Real Estate Company (DIRC). The tower was completed in November 2020, following an estimated handover target of September 2020, and holds a mix of studio, one-, and two-bedroom apartments alongside a ground-floor retail component.
Sources disagree on the exact storey count: propsearch.ae’s building guide lists Azayez Al Barsha as 19 storeys, while a 2020 development-stage press report describes the tower as spread across 14 floors. Both describe the same single, 278-unit building at the same Al Barsha 1 address, so this is an open discrepancy between sources rather than a sign of two different buildings. What is consistent across every source checked is the unit count, the unit mix, and the developer.
The tower includes over 22,000 sq ft of commercial space, laid out to accommodate seven retail outlets, plus four levels of covered parking for more than 300 vehicles. Dubai Investments Real Estate has also developed other residential projects across the UAE, including Janayen Avenue and Nasayem Avenue in Mirdif Hills and Ritaj in Dubai Investment Park (DIP).
Azayez Al Barsha is a single, specific building. Every property portal checked (propsearch.ae, Bayut, Dubizzle, Fazwaz) resolves both "Azayez Building" and "Azayez Al Barsha" to this one Al Barsha 1 address; no unrelated company, landmark, or project sharing this name was found in Dubai's real estate market.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
Azayez Al Barsha sits in Al Barsha 1, within walking distance of Mall of the Emirates and next to First Al Khail Street, one of the area’s main commercial corridors. Al Barsha 1 has one other Royale Stays Building Guide so far, Badri Building 2, Al Barsha, a similarly-sized residential tower in the same community.
The tower is accessible via Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, Al Khail Road, and Sheikh Zayed Road. By car, it takes roughly 16 minutes to reach The Dubai Mall, about 13 minutes to Palm Jumeirah, around 12 minutes to Burj Al Arab, and about 17 minutes to The Walk at JBR.
Mall of the Emirates has its own Dubai Metro (Red Line) station, giving the wider Al Barsha 1 area a metro link even where an individual building is a short drive or taxi ride from the station itself.
Drive-time estimates are calculated via typical-traffic routing and will vary by time of day; sourced from propsearch.ae's building guide, which itself states the same methodology.
Unit Types at Azayez Al Barsha
Azayez Al Barsha comprises 278 units in total, arranged across studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom layouts. A 2020 development update citing Dubai Investments put the exact breakdown at 132 studios, 122 one-bedroom apartments, and 24 two-bedroom suites.
Specific unit sizes for Azayez Al Barsha were not found in a form that could be independently verified across two sources, so this guide does not quote square-footage figures for individual layouts. Prospective tenants should confirm exact unit sizes and layouts directly with a listing agent or the building’s management office.
Amenities at Azayez Al Barsha
Azayez Al Barsha’s amenities centre on its retail and parking infrastructure rather than a resort-style leisure deck: the tower includes a gym and a play area for residents, four levels of covered parking accommodating more than 300 vehicles, and over 22,000 sq ft of ground-floor commercial space with room for seven retail outlets.
This mix, on-site retail plus practical parking capacity, is typical of Al Barsha 1’s older residential stock, where buildings were designed around everyday convenience, shops, services, parking, rather than the pool-and-spa amenity sets found in newer freehold towers elsewhere in Dubai.
Transportation & Access
Azayez Al Barsha benefits from direct access to three of Dubai’s main arterial roads: Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, Al Khail Road, and Sheikh Zayed Road, all reachable within a few minutes of the building.
Estimated drive times from Azayez Al Barsha: The Dubai Mall around 16 minutes, Palm Jumeirah around 13 minutes, Burj Al Arab around 12 minutes, and The Walk at JBR around 17 minutes. Dubai International Airport (DXB) is roughly 24 minutes away, and Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC) is roughly 36 minutes away.
Rental Prices at Azayez Al Barsha
No Azayez Al Barsha-specific sale or rent figures were found in a form that could be independently verified across two sources, so this guide does not quote a specific AED figure for this building alone. What is available is area-level data for Al Barsha as a whole.
According to Property Finder’s Al Barsha area page (accessed 11 September 2026), the average apartment rent across Al Barsha is around AED 52,400 per year, with a price range of roughly AED 39,000 to AED 325,000 per year depending on unit size and building. The average asking price works out to about AED 110.75 per sq ft, and Property Finder estimates a rental yield of around 7.6% for the area.
These figures describe the Al Barsha rental market broadly, not Azayez Al Barsha specifically. Anyone interested in a unit at Azayez Al Barsha should check current live listings on Bayut, Property Finder, or Dubizzle for this building by name rather than relying on the area-wide average alone.
Long-Term Rental Income Potential
Azayez Al Barsha’s building age, unit mix, and Al Barsha’s established, leasehold-heavy rental market make it a long-term rental proposition rather than a short-term-rental one. Al Barsha 1’s tenant base is built around long-term residents working nearby, professionals and families, rather than the international short-stay traffic that drives Airbnb-style demand in Dubai’s short-term-rental hotspots.
Royale Stays currently manages Airbnb-style short-term rental portfolios in Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Marina, Downtown Dubai, JBR, and Business Bay, plus villa management in Mag City and DAMAC Hills/DAMAC Hills 2. Al Barsha is outside that current coverage, and this guide does not present Azayez Al Barsha as a short-term-rental opportunity.
Owners who want to explore short-term or Airbnb-style letting at Azayez Al Barsha should still confirm eligibility directly: any holiday-home permit in Dubai is tied to Department of Economy and Tourism (DET, formerly DTCM) requirements and to the specific building or owners’ association rules, not assumed from the unit type or area alone.
