About Creek Edge Tower 1
Creek Edge is a residential development by Emaar Properties within Dubai Creek Harbour, made up of two towers and a collection of villas. Creek Edge Tower 1 is the taller of the two buildings at 40 storeys, while Creek Edge Tower 2 rises 20 storeys. Construction on the development began in August 2019, and Tower 1 is generally described as completed in 2023, though at least one source cites 2024 instead. The building holds a mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments.
Across Creek Edge Tower 1, Creek Edge Tower 2 and the Creek Edge Villas combined, the development totals 563 residential units. No source independently confirms a unit count for Tower 1 on its own, so this guide describes the building's share honestly as unconfirmed rather than presenting an invented figure as fact.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
Creek Edge Tower 1 sits on Al Kheeran First Street in Dubai Creek Harbour, Emaar's waterfront district built around an extended lagoon of the historic Dubai Creek. The area's defining feature is its landscaped waterfront promenade, and many upper floors look out over the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary, home to the flamingo colonies the area is known for. The site earmarked for the paused Dubai Creek Tower, once planned as a new architectural landmark for the city, also sits within the wider Creek Harbour masterplan.
Dubai Creek Harbour is a newer part of Royale Stays' coverage area, without a dedicated area guide published yet. For a fuller area-level picture in the meantime, including income data specific to Creek Harbour, see Royale Stays' guide to Airbnb management in Dubai Creek Harbour. Royale Stays has also covered Harbour Views, Tower 2, a separate Emaar twin-tower development in the same district, in a separate building guide to Harbour Views Tower 2, and Harbour Gate Tower 2, a further separate Emaar twin-tower development also in Dubai Creek Harbour, in a separate building guide to Harbour Gate Tower 2, for owners comparing buildings within Dubai Creek Harbour. A further Emaar twin-tower complex on Creek Island, Creek Horizon, is covered separately in Royale Stays’ building guide to Creek Horizon Tower 1.
Unit Types
Creek Edge Tower 1's apartments span one, two and three-bedroom configurations. Royale Stays has not independently confirmed a per-configuration unit breakdown specific to Tower 1 for this pass, so this guide describes the overall mix as reported rather than presenting an invented count as fact. 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
Royale Stays has not independently confirmed a building-specific amenities list for Creek Edge Tower 1 in this pass. As with most Emaar residential towers of a similar age, residents and short-term guests can generally expect a shared pool and gym, but owners and prospective renters should confirm current on-site facilities directly with the building's management rather than assuming a standard set applies.
Transportation & Access
Dubai Creek Harbour is primarily reached by road, with Ras Al Khor Road and Bur Dubai Bypass Road connecting the area to Downtown Dubai, Business Bay and the wider city. Royale Stays has not confirmed a Dubai Metro or Dubai Tram station within walking distance of Creek Edge Tower 1 specifically, and this guide does not claim one exists.
Rental & Price Trends
Royale Stays has not independently confirmed long-term lease rents or service charges specific to Creek Edge Tower 1 from a citable market report in this pass, so no building-specific figures are stated here. At the area level, Royale Stays' own published Dubai Creek Harbour Airbnb income data shows one-bedroom apartments typically grossing AED 7,500 to 11,000 per month, two-bedroom units AED 11,000 to 16,000, and three-bedroom units AED 18,000 to 24,000 at peak occupancy, with annual gross yields generally landing between 8% and 11% of purchase price. These are area-level figures, not building-specific precision for Creek Edge Tower 1. Owners can also run their own numbers through Royale Stays' Dubai property ROI calculator for a unit-specific estimate.
Airbnb / Short-Term Rental Income Potential
Short-term letting anywhere in Dubai, including at Creek Edge Tower 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 Creek Edge Tower 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.
Short-term rental demand in this building is not purely theoretical: search results for this building show a Booking.com listing for "Frank Porter – Creek Edge Tower 1" and a dedicated "Short Term Rentals in Creek Edge Tower 1" page from Deluxe Holiday Homes, meaning at least two competing operators already manage short-term units in the tower. Royale Stays does not currently have Creek Edge Tower 1-specific booking data of its own to draw on, so the area-level income figures above reflect Royale Stays' published Creek Harbour data rather than a claim about this particular building's nightly rate or occupancy.
For an owner weighing whether Airbnb makes sense for a unit at Creek Edge Tower 1, the practical starting points are the same as anywhere else in Dubai Creek Harbour: confirming the building's short-term letting policy, applying for the DTCM permit, and pricing the unit competitively against comparable Creek Harbour listings. Royale Stays manages the full furnishing, photography, pricing, check-in and guest communications process for owners who prefer not to handle it directly, and our guide to what separates a strong Airbnb management company from a weak one sets out what to look for when comparing operators. Owners ready to move forward can submit their property for a management review to get a clearer read on its Airbnb potential.
