About Hercules, Living Legends
Hercules is a 12-storey apartment building in Living Legends, Wadi Al Safa 3, Dubailand, developed by Tanmiyat Global. The tower comprises 142 units across studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, three-bedroom and four-bedroom layouts, built with a basement, ground floor and 12 upper floors (B+G+12) and one basement level reserved for parking. The building was completed in 2016, making it one of the earliest of Living Legends' apartment towers to be finished, and it sits alongside 11 other apartment towers and 500 villas that make up the wider Living Legends community around its shared 9-hole golf course.
Developer, building configuration (B+G+12, one basement parking level) and unit count are cross-confirmed across Propsearch, Dubricks and Bayut's own building-guide pages for Hercules, with the exact unit-type breakdown (33 studios, 31 one-bedroom, 38 two-bedroom, 32 three-bedroom, 8 four-bedroom apartments, totalling 142) sourced from Dubricks and corroborated in prose by Propsearch and Bayut. Construction dates carry a minor cross-source conflict: Propsearch records a June 2011 start, Bayut records 2009; both agree on a 2016 completion, so only the completion year is stated here and the disputed start year is omitted. "Hercules" is also the name of the Greek/Roman mythological hero and a widely used brand and software name: this page always pairs the building name with "Living Legends" and/or "Dubai" for that reason, and a dedicated FAQ below addresses the name directly.

Unit Types
Hercules' 142 units break down as 33 studios, 31 one-bedroom apartments, 38 two-bedroom apartments, 32 three-bedroom apartments and 8 four-bedroom apartments. The building is configured as basement, ground floor and 12 upper floors (B+G+12), with the single basement level used for resident parking. Typical covered areas run roughly 520 sq ft for a studio, 850 sq ft for a one-bedroom, 1,500 sq ft for a two-bedroom and 1,823 sq ft for a three-bedroom unit, broadly in line with the sizes recorded in individual Dubai Land Department sale transactions for the building.
Unit-type counts sourced from Dubricks' Hercules project page and corroborated in prose (same unit-type range, no exact count given) by Propsearch and Bayut. The five figures sum to exactly 142, matching the total unit count both Propsearch and Dubricks independently confirm. Typical unit sizes sourced from Bayut's Hercules Tower building guide, cross-checked against Propsearch's own DLD-recorded transaction sizes (1,811-1,816 sq ft three-bedroom units, 507 sq ft studio).
Amenities
On-site amenities at Hercules include a swimming pool, a fully equipped gym, a sauna, steam rooms and an outdoor jacuzzi, plus basement parking, three high-speed elevators, 24-hour security with CCTV, broadband internet, a concierge service, landscaped gardens, a children's play area, a jogging track and bicycle routes.

Amenity list combines Dubricks' Hercules project page (pool, gym, jacuzzi, steam room, parking, community facilities) with Bayut's Hercules Tower guide (three elevators, 24-hour security and concierge, jogging track, playground, sports courts), both independently confirming the shared golf-course access and wider community facilities.
Transportation & Access
From Hercules it takes roughly 24 minutes to drive to Dubai Mall, 25 minutes to Palm Jumeirah, 25 minutes to Burj Al Arab and 29 minutes to The Walk at JBR. Dubai International Airport (DXB) is roughly 24 minutes away by car, and Al Maktoum International Airport is roughly 37 minutes away. The nearest bus stop is around a 13-minute drive away in Liwan, and the closest metro connection, Mall of the Emirates Metro Station, is roughly a 21-minute drive, so residents and guests typically rely on a private car, taxi or ride-hailing app.
Drive times sourced from Propsearch's Hercules commute-time tool, checked 2026-09-11, cross-confirmed by Bayut's own transportation notes for Hercules Tower (bus and metro distances); actual travel time varies with traffic and time of day.

DLD transaction figures sourced from Propsearch's Hercules transaction feed, filtered to only the entries explicitly tagged "HERCULES TOWER" (the same feed also lists Cleopatra Tower and Alladin Tower transactions under the shared Living Legends Phase 7 project grouping; those were excluded here). Live listing range sourced from PropertyFinder's building-scoped "Hercules, Living Legends, Dubai" listings page (4 live sale listings at the time checked, 2026-09-11); asking prices change over time and are not a guarantee of achievable sale value.
Airbnb & Short-Term Rental Income Potential
Short-term letting anywhere in Dubai, including an apartment at Hercules, requires a DTCM holiday home permit. See Royale Stays' holiday home permit guide for the application process. Hercules sits in a freehold community developed by a private developer, Tanmiyat Global, not Emaar and not a hotel or serviced-apartment operator, so the permit is applied for directly, the same routing already established for Living Legends' villas and townhouses on Royale Stays' community guide. As an outer Dubailand apartment building rather than a short-term-rental-dense tower cluster, owners considering Airbnb here should expect a smaller, more localised pool of comparable listings than in areas like Dubai Marina or Downtown Dubai. Royale Stays does not currently manage properties in Living Legends but brings a broader Dubai property management track record across villas and apartments elsewhere in the city; management is available from a 15% fee. For general guidance on choosing a manager, see Royale Stays' Airbnb property management in Dubai overview.
No Hercules-specific or Living Legends-specific Airbnb earnings data is published or available to Royale Stays at this time; the guidance above is general framing based on permit routing and market positioning only, not a specific AED figure.
