About Creek Bay
Creek Bay is an off-plan residential complex in Al Khairan First, within the wider Dubai Creek Harbour masterplan, developed by Emaar Properties. The project comprises two towers, Creek Bay Tower A and Creek Bay Tower B, rising 27 storeys above one basement parking level. Sales have already launched, with Tower A reported sold out and Tower B’s sales opening in February 2026, though the project remains pre-construction, with handover expected in the second quarter of 2030.
Creek Bay should not be confused with Creek Haven, a separate Emaar project elsewhere in Dubai Creek Harbour with a similar name, or with Creek Beach, an already-established sub-district of the wider masterplan. Both towers of Creek Bay are marketed and sold together as one project, unlike some other twin-phase Dubai Creek Harbour developments where a numbered second phase is a genuinely separate project with its own launch and sales history.
Sources checked for this guide disagree on Creek Bay's total unit count, with figures ranging from roughly 214 to 568 depending on the source and whether one or both towers are counted, so no single total is stated here as fact. The 27-storey, two-tower structure is corroborated by propsearch.ae's own Dubai Land Department transaction records (tagged individually to Tower A or Tower B) and is treated as the reliable figure over a single marketing source's disputed 44-storey, three-tower claim.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
Creek Bay sits in Al Khairan First, part of Dubai Creek Harbour, Emaar’s waterfront masterplan on the banks of Dubai Creek, with views toward the creek, the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary and the Downtown Dubai skyline. The location sits close to Ras Al Khor Road, giving quick access to Downtown Dubai and Dubai International Airport (DXB) once the surrounding road network for this phase is complete.
Dubai Creek Harbour already has several other buildings covered separately on royalestays.com, including Dubai Creek Residences North Tower 3, Dubai Creek Residence South Tower 2 and Palace Residences North, each a separate Emaar project with its own developer timeline and unit mix. For a wider view of the area’s short-term rental market, Royale Stays’ Airbnb management guide for Dubai Creek Harbour covers licensing and demand across the wider community.
Unit Types
Creek Bay offers one, two and three-bedroom apartments across both towers, sized from approximately 735 to 1,851 sq ft, per tanamiproperties.com’s official project data. As with any off-plan project, exact unit counts and floor plans are confirmed by Emaar’s official sales channel rather than by this guide, since off-plan specifications can be revised before handover.
Amenities
Planned amenities include an infinity pool, a kids’ pool with a shaded play area, a fully equipped gym and fitness centre, a sundeck, a barbecue deck, a sports and padel court, covered parking and 24/7 CCTV surveillance, per Bayut’s building guide and remdubai.com’s project listing. As with any pre-handover project, the final amenity offering is confirmed only at delivery.
Sales & Development Status
Creek Bay’s sales have genuinely launched: Dubai Land Department records show 50 recorded sale transactions across both towers as of late August 2026, with Tower A now reported sold out and Tower B’s own sales having opened in February 2026. Construction itself has not been confirmed as under way, with propsearch.ae listing the project’s status simply as "Planned," and Emaar’s own sales channel lists an estimated handover of the second quarter of 2030.
Because no tower has been delivered, no sale or rental transaction history exists for Creek Bay as a completed building, so this guide does not publish sale or rental comparables it cannot support. Prospective owners weighing an off-plan purchase can model their own scenario with Royale Stays’ ROI calculator once handover is closer and real comparables exist.
Future STR Potential
Creek Bay is not yet delivered, so there is no current income figure, occupancy data or existing short-term rental listing to report for this building, and Royale Stays does not manage any unit here today. Once handover takes place, owners will need the same building blocks any Dubai Creek Harbour holiday home needs: a DTCM holiday home permit, professional photography, dynamic pricing, round-the-clock guest communication, housekeeping between stays and owners’ association coordination.
Emaar Properties is not a hotel brand with a short-term-letting restriction, unlike Vida, the only developer or brand confirmed to prohibit it outright, so there is no policy reason a Creek Bay apartment could not be run as a licensed holiday home once handed over. Royale Stays already manages short-term rentals across other Dubai Creek Harbour buildings and could extend that same operational model here, covered in Royale Stays’ guide to Airbnb property management in Dubai. Owners who want an early conversation ahead of handover can submit their property for more information.
This section is deliberately written as a future/conditional discussion, not a current-earnings guide. Creek Bay has no completed units, no current owners letting short-term, and no Royale Stays-managed unit at this building today, even though off-plan sales for both towers have already taken place.
