About Boulevard Heights 1
Boulevard Heights 1 (also known as BLVD Heights Tower 1) is a residential tower developed by Emaar Properties, one of two towers in the Boulevard Heights twin-tower complex in Downtown Dubai. Sources genuinely disagree on the exact storey count: Bayut states 53 floors, while a separately-sourced figure cites 56, so this guide states the range rather than picking one figure.
Boulevard Heights (both towers combined) holds 492 units. Sources also disagree on the completion date: one source states 2020, another states January 2023 (with construction beginning December 2015), a genuine 3-year conflict this guide states honestly rather than resolving.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
Boulevard Heights 1 sits in Downtown Dubai, with direct access to Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Boulevard. For a full picture of Airbnb management across Downtown Dubai, see Royale Stays' area guide to Airbnb property management in Downtown Dubai.
Boulevard Heights 1 joins Royale Stays' extensive Downtown Dubai Building Guide cluster, alongside Boulevard Crescent Tower 1, Grande Signature Residences and The Lofts West Tower, three of the many other Downtown Dubai towers Royale Stays has covered.
Unit Types
Boulevard Heights 1 offers one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments, plus penthouses and duplexes. No floor-plan diagrams are included here: floor plans are typically the developer's or broker's proprietary material and have not been independently verified for this guide.
Amenities
Boulevard Heights 1's facilities include a shared swimming pool, shared gym, children's pool, concierge, covered parking and direct access to Burj Khalifa Boulevard, based on listing-level descriptions of individual units. Owners and prospective renters should confirm current on-site facilities directly with the building's management, since amenity offerings can change over time.
Transportation & Access
Downtown Dubai is served by the Dubai Metro's Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall station on the Red Line, with the Dubai Trolley also running through parts of the district. Royale Stays has not confirmed the exact walking distance from Boulevard Heights 1 to the nearest station, so this guide does not state a specific figure.
Rental & Price Trends
Royale Stays has not yet compiled Boulevard Heights 1-specific market data covering long-term lease rents or service charges in this pass, so no building-specific figures are stated here rather than an invented estimate. Owners considering a unit at Boulevard Heights 1 can run their own numbers through Royale Stays' Dubai property ROI calculator for a unit-specific estimate instead.
Airbnb / Short-Term Rental Income Potential
Short-term letting anywhere in Dubai, including at Boulevard Heights 1, runs through a DTCM (Department of Economy and Tourism) holiday home permit, the same licensing requirement that applies regardless of building or area. An owner considering Airbnb at Boulevard Heights 1 would need to hold that permit before listing a unit, in addition to confirming the building's own short-term letting policy. Royale Stays' guide to the Dubai holiday home permit covers what the process and fees generally involve.
Boulevard Heights 1 already has a strong, tower-specific short-term rental presence: multiple direct Airbnb listings explicitly name "BLVD Heights Tower 1" and "Boulevard Heights T1," alongside a Silkhaus-branded listing. Royale Stays does not currently have booking data specific to Boulevard Heights 1 to draw on, so this guide does not present a building income figure it cannot support.
For an owner weighing whether Airbnb makes sense for a unit at Boulevard Heights 1, the practical starting points are confirming the building's short-term letting policy, applying for the DTCM permit, and pricing the unit against comparable Downtown Dubai listings. Royale Stays manages the full furnishing, photography, pricing, check-in and guest communications process for owners who prefer not to handle it directly. Owners ready to move forward can submit their property for a management review to get a clearer read on its Airbnb potential.
Royale Stays does not yet have Boulevard Heights 1-specific portfolio data to draw on for this guide; this section reflects the already-visible operator/listing demand at Boulevard Heights 1 only, reviewed by Chris Veinbaums, DTCM-licensed operator.
