About Dubai Creek Residence South Tower 1
Dubai Creek Residence South Tower 1 is a 37-storey freehold apartment tower in The Lagoons district of Dubai Creek Harbour, developed by Emaar Properties and completed in 2019. It is one of six numbered towers, North Tower 1, 2 and 3, and South Tower 1, 2 and 3, that together make up the Dubai Creek Residences complex, Emaar's first residential launch at Creek Harbour. The tower holds a mix of one, two and three-bedroom freehold apartments, arranged across floors 3 to 15 and 17 to 37.
Pet ownership is permitted in the building, a detail worth knowing for owners weighing short-term guest appeal against the tower's residential character. Because the complex has six similarly-named towers, it is worth being specific: this guide covers South Tower 1 only, not South Tower 2, North Tower 3, or any of the complex's other numbered buildings, each of which differs slightly in floor count and unit mix.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
South Tower 1 sits in The Lagoons, the Creek-facing pocket of Dubai Creek Harbour closest to Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary, with views over Creek Marina, the Yacht Club and the wider city skyline. Al Jaddaf Metro Station and Creek Metro Station are each roughly a 10 to 12-minute drive, with the Al Jaddaf Marine water bus stop and Creek Metro bus stop offering additional transit options for guests without a car.
Dubai Creek Residence South Tower 1 joins Royale Stays' wider Dubai Creek Harbour Building Guide cluster alongside 17 Icon Bay Tower 2, Dubai Creek Residences North Tower 3 and South Tower 2, other freehold towers Royale Stays covers in the area.
Unit Types
South Tower 1 offers one, two and three-bedroom apartments, freehold ownership, with one-bedroom units running roughly 878 to 982 square feet. Floor plans are distributed across the tower's residential floors, 3 to 15 and 17 to 37, giving owners a range of layouts and view lines toward the Creek, the Marina or the Dubai skyline depending on stack position.
Amenities
Amenities include an infinity swimming pool, a fully equipped gym and fitness club, a private jacuzzi, a squash court and a dedicated kids' play area. Pets are allowed in the building, a point worth highlighting for guests travelling with animals.
Transportation & Access
Al Jaddaf Metro Station and Creek Metro Station are each about a 10 to 12-minute drive from the tower, with bus connections at the Al Jaddaf Marine and Creek Metro stops. The Lagoons location places South Tower 1 within easy reach of both Downtown Dubai and Dubai International Airport via Ras Al Khor Road.
Rental & Price Trends
Royale Stays has not independently verified building-specific rental or resale price data for South Tower 1 in this pass, so prospective owners and tenants should confirm current asking prices and rental yields directly with a licensed broker or via Dubai Land Department records before making a decision. Owners weighing a specific unit's numbers can run their own scenario through Royale Stays' Dubai property ROI calculator.
Airbnb / Short-Term Rental Income Potential
Short-term letting anywhere in Dubai, including at Dubai Creek Residence South Tower 1, runs through a DTCM holiday home permit, the same licensing requirement that applies regardless of building or area. South Tower 1 is a standard Emaar-developed freehold apartment tower, not a Vida-branded hotel property, so it carries no confirmed short-term-letting prohibition. Royale Stays' guide to the Dubai holiday home permit covers what the process and fees generally involve.
Royale Stays manages the full furnishing, photography, pricing, check-in and guest communications process for owners at buildings like South Tower 1, from a management fee starting from 15% of gross booking revenue.
