About DAMAC Maison Prive
DAMAC Maison Prive is a twin-tower residential complex developed by DAMAC Properties in Business Bay, directly on the Dubai Water Canal. Also marketed by the developer as simply "DAMAC Privé," the two connected towers, known as Tower A and Tower B, share a podium and were completed in September 2019 after construction began in late 2013.
Tower A and Tower B are most commonly described as 36 storeys each, based on the majority of sources reviewed for this guide; at least one other source describes the towers as 30 storeys. An exact, universally agreed total unit count for the building was not confirmed during research, so no specific figure is stated here.
The building is part of DAMAC's wider "Maison" family of hotel-serviced residences in Dubai, which also includes DAMAC Maison Canal Views, DAMAC Maison Cour Jardin, DAMAC Maison Bay's Edge and DAMAC Maison Majestine, all in Business Bay, plus DAMAC Maison The Distinction (also known as Maison Mall Street) in Downtown Dubai. Each of these is a separate building with its own address, floor count and completion date; facts stated on this page describe DAMAC Maison Prive specifically, not its sister properties.
DAMAC Maison Prive should also not be confused with Prive Residence, an unrelated apartment building in Dubai Hills Estate developed by Ginco Properties and completed in 2023. Despite the shared name, the two are different buildings by different developers in different parts of Dubai.
Units at DAMAC Maison Prive range from studios of roughly 369 to 660 square feet through one-bedroom apartments of roughly 795 to 1,033 square feet and two-bedroom apartments of roughly 1,300 to 1,520 square feet. The development is marketed with hotel-style services, and some units are enrolled in DAMAC's own rental-pool programme.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
DAMAC Maison Prive sits in Business Bay, Dubai's canal-side business and residential district, on Marasi Drive directly beside the Dubai Water Canal. For the full picture of how Royale Stays manages Airbnb properties across Business Bay, see the Royale Stays Business Bay Airbnb management guide.
DAMAC Maison Prive joins Royale Stays' wider Business Bay Building Guide cluster, alongside sister DAMAC development DAMAC Maison Canal Views and DAMAC Towers by Paramount, plus the canal-facing Zada Tower, three of the other Business Bay towers Royale Stays has covered.
Unit Types
DAMAC Maison Prive offers studios of roughly 369 to 660 square feet, one-bedroom apartments of roughly 795 to 1,033 square feet, and two-bedroom apartments of roughly 1,300 to 1,520 square feet. One source reviewed for this guide also mentions three-bedroom apartments, but this was not confirmed by the majority of sources, so this guide describes the standard mix as studio through two-bedroom. 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
DAMAC Maison Prive's amenities include a swimming pool, a gymnasium and health club, a spa and sauna, a children's play area and kids' club with babysitting service, a 24-hour on-site restaurant, concierge services, 24-hour security, and podium parking, based on the developer's and building management's own descriptions. Ground-floor retail includes a Carrefour Market. Owners and prospective renters should confirm current on-site facilities directly with the building's management, since amenity offerings can change over time.
Transportation & Access
Business Bay is served by the Dubai Metro's Business Bay station, with the Dubai Water Canal promenade running directly past the building. Sheikh Zayed Road access places Downtown Dubai and Dubai International Airport within a short drive.
Rental & Price Trends
Royale Stays has not yet compiled DAMAC Maison Prive-specific market data covering long-term lease rents or service charges in this pass, so no building-specific figures are stated here rather than an invented estimate. Owners considering a unit at DAMAC Maison Prive can run their own numbers through Royale Stays' Dubai property ROI calculator for a unit-specific estimate instead.
Airbnb / Short-Term Rental Income Potential
DAMAC Maison Prive shows an unusually strong short-term rental signal for a Business Bay building: Booking.com lists individual units at two separate positions in its own search results, and Agoda and Tripadvisor also index unit-level listings for the building specifically. A dedicated search for live Airbnb activity at DAMAC Maison Prive found multiple currently active listings from clearly different, independent hosts and brands, not one centralised hotel-pool inventory.
Some units at DAMAC Maison Prive are enrolled in DAMAC's own rental-pool programme, which does not use an outside operator and is not a fit for Royale Stays management. Independently owned freehold units outside that programme are the genuine opportunity here, evidenced by the live, multi-host Airbnb activity already visible in the building. Owners should confirm which category their own unit falls into before assuming either way.
Short-term letting anywhere in Dubai, including at DAMAC Maison Prive, runs through a DTCM (Department of Economy and Tourism) holiday home permit. For a hotel-serviced building like this one, that permit is typically arranged through the building's own management company rather than filed independently by an individual owner. Royale Stays' guide to the Dubai holiday home permit covers what the process and fees generally involve.
For an owner weighing whether Airbnb makes sense for a freehold unit at DAMAC Maison Prive, the practical starting points are confirming the unit's status outside the rental-pool programme, working with the building's management company on the DTCM permit, and pricing the unit against comparable Business Bay listings. Royale Stays manages the full furnishing, photography, pricing, check-in and guest communications process for owners who prefer not to handle it directly, from a fee starting at 15%. For a wider comparison of what to look for in an operator, see Royale Stays' guide to choosing an Airbnb management company. Owners ready to move forward can submit their property for a management review to get a clearer read on its Airbnb potential.
Royale Stays does not yet have DAMAC Maison Prive-specific portfolio data to draw on for this guide; this section reflects the already-visible operator/listing demand at DAMAC Maison Prive only, reviewed by Chris Veinbaums, DTCM-licensed operator.
