About Creek Crescent

Creek Crescent is a standalone residential development by Emaar Properties on the north shore of Creek Island, the central island district of Dubai Creek Harbour. The building sits right at the bridge gateway onto the island, which puts it at the first point of arrival for anyone driving in and gives the lower floors a direct frontage onto the water. Unlike most of its Creek Harbour neighbours, Creek Crescent is a single tower rather than a Tower 1 and Tower 2 pair: one 22-storey residential tower rising from a four-storey podium, with a row of three-bedroom townhouses along the promenade level facing the creek.

Some listings count the building as 26 storeys because they include the podium levels in the total. The development is complete and handed over, with Dubai Land Department ready-property resale transactions recorded through mid-2026. It should not be confused with The Crescent in Dubai Production City, a separate and unrelated building on the other side of the city.


Location & Nearby Landmarks

Creek Crescent's address is the north shore of Creek Island, Dubai Creek Harbour, registered with the Dubai Land Department under Al Khairan First. The island setting is the main draw here: residents cross a short bridge over the canal, and the wider Creek Harbour master plan places Creek Marina, the central park spine and the waterfront promenade all within walking distance. Across the water, apartments on the right stack line up views of the Downtown Dubai skyline and Burj Khalifa, with the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary and its flamingo lagoons immediately south of the district. Royale Stays' Dubai Creek Harbour Airbnb management guide covers how the district performs for short-term rentals as a whole.

Other Dubai Creek Harbour buildings covered separately on royalestays.com include Creek Edge Tower 1 and Creek Horizon Tower 1, both elsewhere on Creek Island, plus Island Park, the district's park-facing development.


Unit Types

The tower carries one, two and three-bedroom apartments, and the podium adds a limited set of three-bedroom townhouses that open onto the creek-side promenade. Balconies or terraces feature across the mix, and layouts were sold with laundry rooms as standard. A tower-specific breakdown of unit counts per type has not been independently confirmed for this guide, so we have left totals out rather than guess.


Amenities

The four-storey podium works as a resident-only amenity deck: a swimming pool, a fully equipped gym, outdoor children's play areas, barbecue areas and landscaped lawns are all integrated into the podium levels. The townhouse row and the promenade below add direct access to the waterfront walk that loops the island.


Transportation & Access

Road access to Dubai Creek Harbour runs via Ras Al Khor Road and the Nad Al Hamar corridor, and Creek Crescent's position beside the island's access bridge makes it one of the quickest buildings in the district to get in and out of. There is no Metro station within walking distance yet: the district's planned connections remain under development, so residents and guests currently rely on cars and ride-hailing. Downtown Dubai and Dubai International Airport are both roughly a fifteen-minute drive in normal traffic.


Dubai Land Department transaction records, republished by Propsearch, show recent one-bedroom resales at 684 sq ft trading at AED 1.45M in June 2026 and AED 1.80M in July 2026, the latter working out to roughly AED 2,631 per square foot. Those are individual recorded transactions rather than an area average, so treat them as reference points, not a valuation. Owners weighing a specific unit's numbers can run their own scenario through Royale Stays' ROI calculator.


Airbnb / Short-Term Rental Income Potential

Across Royale Stays' managed Dubai Creek Harbour context, one-bedroom apartments typically gross AED 7,500-11,000 per month on short lets, two-bedrooms AED 11,000-16,000, and three-bedrooms AED 18,000-24,000, with gross annual yields in the 8-11% range. Those are area-level figures, not Creek Crescent-specific precision: no short-term listing tied to this building's own name was verified while researching this guide, though property portals dominate its search results and Dubai Creek Harbour as a district already has active licensed holiday-home operators and steady guest demand.

Creek Crescent is a standard freehold residential tower with no hotel or serviced-apartment component and no Vida branding, so an owner here follows the normal DTCM holiday home permit route rather than anything routed through a hotel operator. Royale Stays handles the whole process, from furnishing and photography through pricing, check-in and guest communications, for a fee from 15%.

The wider operational approach is covered in Royale Stays' guide to Airbnb property management in Dubai. Owners ready to see real numbers for their unit can submit their property for a free earnings estimate.
