About Claren Tower 2
Claren Tower 2 is the taller of two connected residential towers, Claren Tower 1 and Claren Tower 2, that make up Claren Towers, an Emaar Properties development on Mohammed Bin Rashid Boulevard in Downtown Dubai. Handed over in 2012 after construction began in 2009, Claren Tower 2 rises 24 storeys and holds 180 apartments across studio, one, two and three-bedroom layouts, all with floor-to-ceiling windows. Its shorter sibling, Claren Tower 1, sits at around 21 storeys and 162 apartments, together giving the complex roughly 342 homes.
For owners, the appeal is proven rather than theoretical: a short-term rental already operates inside the building today, listed as "Claren Tower 2 By Golden Casa" on Booking.com, and corporate serviced-apartment operators SilverDoor and Kennedy Towers both separately list inventory in the wider Claren Towers complex, independently of anything Royale Stays has done. Royale Stays manages the day-to-day side of turning an apartment here into a working short-term rental, from setup and pricing through to guest communication, as part of its wider Airbnb property management approach in Dubai, for a management fee from 15%.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
Claren Tower 2 sits on Mohammed Bin Rashid Boulevard in Downtown Dubai. Burj Khalifa, The Dubai Fountain, Dubai Mall and Souk Al Bahar are all commonly cited as within around 15 minutes' walk or an 8-minute drive, though that figure comes from developer and broker marketing rather than a mapping tool, so treat it as a rough guide. The Red Line Metro's Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall and Business Bay stations are both roughly 5 to 6 minutes away.
For a wider view of the area's short-term rental market, Royale Stays' Airbnb management guide for Downtown Dubai covers licensing and demand across the community. Nearby Boulevard-side buildings covered separately on royalestays.com include Burj Vista Tower 1, Downtown Views 1 and 8 Boulevard Walk, each with its own layout and unit mix.
Unit Types
Claren Tower 2 was built with 180 apartments across studio, one, two and three-bedroom layouts. Every unit has floor-to-ceiling glazing and a balcony, and the building includes covered/underground parking with at least one space per unit.
Amenities
Residents have access to a swimming pool with a landscaped sundeck, a gymnasium, a separate shallow kids' pool, and a children's play area, plus multiple high-speed elevators and covered parking.
Transportation & Access
The Red Line Metro is the relevant reference point, with both the Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall and Business Bay stations roughly 5 to 6 minutes from the building. Sheikh Zayed Road is close by for anyone driving, typical of most Downtown Dubai Boulevard-front addresses.
Rental & Price Trends
Downtown Dubai rents rose roughly 4 to 7% through 2025, according to Bayut's Dubai Rental Market Report, with the submarket described as stable heading into H1 2026. No verified Claren Tower 2-specific rent or price-per-square-foot figure is available at the time of writing, so this reflects the wider Downtown Dubai trend rather than a building-specific number. Owners weighing a specific unit's numbers can run their own scenario through Royale Stays' ROI calculator.
Airbnb / Short-Term Rental Income Potential
This is where the research lines up with something concrete: a short-term rental, "Claren Tower 2 By Golden Casa," is already listed on Booking.com inside this exact building, and two separate corporate serviced-apartment operators, SilverDoor and Kennedy Towers, independently list inventory across the wider Claren Towers complex, three unrelated operators already active here, none of them Royale Stays. That is a genuine, external signal of live demand, not a hopeful assumption.
Because Claren Tower 2 is developed by Emaar rather than Vida, the site's only confirmed prohibited brand for short-term letting, there is no policy reason apartments here cannot be run as licensed holiday homes. Royale Stays runs the full operation 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.
