About Bunyan Tower
Bunyan Tower is a 22-storey residential tower on Al Emreef Street in Dubai Marina, developed by Delta Properties LLC. Construction began in 2006 but stalled for several years before resuming in 2012, with the building completed in March 2014. The tower holds 148 residential apartments: 26 studios, 102 one-bedroom units, 18 two-bedroom units and two three-bedroom penthouses, giving it one of the more studio and one-bedroom-heavy unit mixes among Dubai Marina's freehold towers.
Studio apartments run from roughly 569 to 696 square feet, one-bedroom units from roughly 745 to 1,049 square feet, and two-bedroom units from roughly 1,270 to 1,500 square feet, per portal-listed size ranges (individual transaction sizes vary within these bands). Ground-floor retail includes a supermarket and a health clinic alongside the tower's residential entrance, and several higher-floor units look out over Palm Jumeirah.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
Bunyan Tower sits within walking distance of Dubai Marina Metro Station, with tram access and Sheikh Zayed Road also close by, connecting residents and short-term guests to the rest of Dubai Marina, JBR and the wider city. Dubai International Airport is around 25 minutes away by car and Al Maktoum International Airport around 33 minutes. Royale Stays actively manages Airbnb properties across Dubai Marina, and owners here are covered under the same Dubai Marina Airbnb management service used across the rest of the community.
The tower is also close to Dubai Marina Walk and JBR Walk, both roughly 6 to 8 minutes away by car, putting guests within easy reach of the community's waterfront dining and retail. Palm Jumeirah is around 8 minutes away and Dubai Mall around 16 minutes, giving Bunyan Tower a fairly central position within the wider Marina and JBR cluster. Other Dubai Marina towers Royale Stays covers separately include DEC Tower 1 and Marina Diamond 4, each with its own developer, unit mix and layout.
Unit Types
Bunyan Tower offers a mix of studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments alongside two three-bedroom penthouses, 148 units in total. Studios run from roughly 569 to 696 square feet, one-bedroom units from roughly 745 to 1,049 square feet, and two-bedroom units from roughly 1,270 to 1,500 square feet, with the two penthouses representing the building's largest and most exclusive layout.
Amenities
Residents have access to an outdoor swimming pool, a fully equipped gym, a sauna, and a children's play area with its own shaded pool, outdoor shower and changing room, plus round-the-clock security and covered parking across 164 spaces, with at least one space allocated per apartment.
Transportation & Access
Bunyan Tower is a short walk from Dubai Marina Metro Station, with tram access and Sheikh Zayed Road also nearby, giving residents and short-term guests fast access to the rest of Dubai Marina, JBR and Downtown Dubai. Dubai International Airport is around 25 minutes away by car, and Al Maktoum International Airport around 33 minutes.
Rental & Price Trends
Portal data shows Bunyan Tower apartments renting long-term for an average of roughly AED 98,000 to AED 130,000 a year, figures that reflect traditional annual leasing rather than short-term Airbnb performance. Separately, listed sale prices for Bunyan Tower units start from around AED 700,000 for a studio, AED 1,100,000 to AED 1,500,000 for a one-bedroom, and AED 1,800,000 to AED 2,000,000 for a two-bedroom, per portal listing data current as of this build.

Airbnb / Short-Term Rental Income Potential
Across Royale Stays managed Dubai Marina apartments, the blended rate runs AED 921 a night at 88% occupancy. By unit type, a one-bedroom averages AED 600 a night for about AED 16,406 a month, and a two-bedroom AED 755 a night for roughly AED 20,712 a month (figures as stated on Royale Stays' Marina Diamond 1 and Marina Diamond 3 guides, reused here per the area-blended convention, since no Bunyan Tower-specific short-term budget file exists in Royale Stays' managed portfolio data as of this build). Short-term letting anywhere in Dubai, including at Bunyan Tower, needs a valid DTCM holiday-home permit before taking bookings, alongside professional photography, dynamic pricing, round-the-clock guest communication, housekeeping between stays, and owners-association coordination.
Bunyan Tower is developed by a private developer, not a hotel brand: there is no policy reason, unlike Vida, the site's only confirmed prohibited brand, that Bunyan Tower apartments can't be run as licensed holiday homes. Royale Stays runs the full operation for owners here for a fee starting from 15%, covering furnishing, photography, pricing, check-in and guest communications, with a single monthly statement covering revenue, fee, costs and net transfer.
