About Downtown Views II, Tower 3
Downtown Views II, Tower 3 is a 62-storey residential tower in Downtown Dubai, developed by Emaar Properties. Construction began in May 2017 and the tower was completed in November 2022, adding one of the newer residential addresses to Dubai's most established district, within walking distance of the Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall.
Tower 3 forms part of the wider Downtown Views II development, one of several Emaar residential clusters built around Downtown Dubai's core over the past decade. Its own unit mix runs across one, two and three-bedroom apartments, with sizes spanning roughly from 681 square feet up to around 1,935 square feet, positioning it toward the mid-to-larger end of Downtown's newer apartment stock rather than the studio-heavy supply found in some neighbouring buildings.
What distinguishes Tower 3 from many Downtown addresses is its direct, marketed connection to Dubai Mall: an air-conditioned bridge crosses Financial Centre Road, letting residents walk to the mall without stepping outside. Combined with its podium-level amenities, that bridge link is one of the clearer practical reasons owners and tenants choose this building over comparable towers set further back from Downtown's core.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
Downtown Views II, Tower 3 sits close to the heart of Downtown Dubai, with Dubai Mall roughly a 10 to 11-minute walk away (around 809 metres), made faster in practice by the tower's own air-conditioned bridge across Financial Centre Road. The Burj Khalifa is a similar distance, roughly a 13-minute walk (around 987 metres), and Dubai Opera is a short walk away as well, putting most of Downtown's landmark attractions within easy reach on foot. For a broader read on what the district offers as a rental market beyond this one building, Royale Stays' Downtown Dubai Airbnb management guide covers the area in more depth.
Downtown Dubai has a growing number of newer residential towers built within a few minutes of one another, and prospective owners often compare Tower 3 against buildings like Burj Vista, another Downtown tower closer to the Burj Khalifa itself, Boulevard Point, positioned nearer Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Boulevard, or 8 Boulevard Walk, another Downtown address along the same stretch. Each building has its own layout, size mix and price point, so it is worth reading more than one guide before comparing them directly.
Unit Types
Downtown Views II, Tower 3 offers one, two and three-bedroom apartments, with sizes ranging broadly from around 681 square feet for the smallest one-bedroom layouts up to approximately 1,935 square feet for the largest three-bedroom configurations. Royale Stays has not confirmed exact square footage for every individual layout within that range, so this guide describes the overall size span rather than precise per-layout figures. No studio or four-bedroom option is offered in this specific tower, and no floor-plan diagrams are included here: floor plans are typically the developer's or broker's proprietary material, and Royale Stays has not been able to verify them independently for this guide.
Amenities
Downtown Views II, Tower 3's amenities include a temperature-controlled outdoor swimming pool with a separate children's pool, a barbecue and leisure area, and a gym and health club for residents. Families are served by a dedicated children's playroom, and the building includes multipurpose social rooms alongside sports courts for residents who want more active recreation options on site.
The building operates a 24-hour front desk with security and CCTV coverage, and parking is provided across a covered podium structure. That combination of round-the-clock staffing and a genuine amenity spread, rather than a single headline feature, is fairly typical of Emaar's newer Downtown towers built over the past several years.
Transportation & Access
Burj Khalifa / Dubai Mall Metro Station, on the Red Line, is roughly a 10-minute walk from Downtown Views II, Tower 3, giving residents without a car a direct route into the wider Metro network. By road, the building fronts Financial Centre Road, with access from there to both Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Khail Road, Dubai's two main arterial routes, making it straightforward to reach the rest of the city without first navigating Downtown's more congested internal streets.
Rental & Price Trends
Royale Stays has not independently confirmed rents specific to Downtown Views II, Tower 3 in this pass, so the figures below describe Downtown Dubai's rental market at an area level rather than this particular building. Per Bayut's H1 2026 Dubai Rental Market Report, one-bedroom apartments in Downtown Dubai currently average around AED 133,000 per year, two-bedroom apartments around AED 223,000 per year, and three-bedroom apartments around AED 362,000 per year. Service charges specific to Downtown Views II, Tower 3 have not been independently confirmed via the DLD's Mollak index for this pass and are omitted here rather than estimated. Owners weighing a specific unit's earning potential against these area-level ranges can run their own numbers through Royale Stays' Dubai property ROI calculator.
Airbnb / Short-Term Rental Income Potential
Short-term letting anywhere in Dubai, including at Downtown Views II, Tower 3, 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 Tower 3 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.
Royale Stays does not currently have Downtown Views II, Tower 3-specific booking data to draw on, so this section speaks to Downtown Dubai generally rather than claiming a nightly rate or occupancy figure for this particular building. In Royale Stays' experience managing short-term rentals across Downtown Dubai, units with genuine walkable proximity to Dubai Mall and the Burj Khalifa, like Tower 3's own bridge-linked position, tend to command stronger guest interest than comparable units set further from the district's main landmarks.
For an owner weighing whether Airbnb makes sense for a unit at Downtown Views II, Tower 3, the practical starting points are the same as anywhere else in Downtown Dubai: confirming the building's short-term letting policy, applying for the DTCM permit, and pricing the unit competitively against comparable Downtown 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 choosing the best Airbnb management company in Dubai 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.
