About Heritage Building
Heritage Building is a 12-storey residential building in Al Barsha 1, Al Barsha, Dubai, developed by International House Real Estate, with one basement level used for parking. The building holds 87 apartments in total, mainly one- and two-bedroom layouts, and has been fully completed and occupied for close to two decades.
A Zeus Capital listing for the building dates its handover to December 2006, though this exact date comes from a single source and is treated here with appropriate caution rather than stated as a hard-verified fact. What is consistently confirmed across every source checked is the developer, the 12-storey (plus basement) structure, and the 87-unit total.
International House Real Estate is also the developer behind Al Noon Residence, a similarly-sized 12-storey, 45-unit building elsewhere in Al Barsha 1. Heritage Building and Al Noon Residence are two distinct buildings by the same developer, not the same project marketed under two names.
Developer, storey count (12 storeys plus 1 basement), and the 87-unit total are each independently confirmed by two sources: propsearch.ae's Heritage Building Al Barsha guide and skyloov.com's Heritage Building profile, which state the identical figures. The December 2006 completion date comes from a single source, zeuscapital.ae; propsearch.ae confirms only that the building's status is "Complete," without publishing an exact date (its construction-history detail sits behind a paid Propsearch Pro tier). No documented fire, structural, or safety incident was found for this building in any source checked. A live SERP check on "Heritage Building Al Barsha" returned all 10 organic results resolving to this same building; no unrelated same-named entity was found.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
Heritage Building sits in Al Barsha 1, a short walk from Mall of the Emirates and Vox Cinemas (around 0.5 km), and close to Ski Dubai (around 0.7 km) inside the mall. Barsha Pond Park is about 1.3 km away, Madinat Jumeirah around 2.8 km, and Emirates Golf Club around 5.3 km.
Two other Al Barsha 1 buildings already have Royale Stays Building Guides: Badri Building 2 and Al Noon Residence (the latter also developed by International House Real Estate), plus Azayez Al Barsha.

Unit Types at Heritage Building
Heritage Building’s 87 units are a mix of one- and two-bedroom apartments. Live listings checked in September 2026 show one-bedroom units ranging from roughly 696 to 850 sq ft, and two-bedroom units at roughly 1,249 to 1,259 sq ft. No studio units were found in any live listing checked across two portals.
Unit-size ranges cross-confirmed independently by propertyfinder.ae's live Heritage Building listings (7 active, accessed 2026-09-11) and zeuscapital.ae's own "Available Units" panel for the building (accessed 2026-09-11); both show only 1BR and 2BR units in the same size bands.
Amenities at Heritage Building
Heritage Building offers a gym and a rooftop swimming pool with city views, plus five ground-floor retail outlets inside the building itself: a sweet shop, a fried-chicken restaurant, a men’s salon, a jewellery and watch shop, and a currency exchange.
This mix of practical, everyday amenities and on-site retail, rather than a resort-style leisure deck, is typical of Al Barsha 1’s older residential stock, where buildings were designed around everyday convenience rather than newer freehold towers’ pool-and-spa amenity sets.
Gym and rooftop pool confirmed by skyloov.com's building profile; the rooftop pool is independently corroborated by a live propertyfinder.ae listing headline ("Stylish 2BHK | Rooftop Pool | Easy Access to MOE"). Ground-floor retail tenants sourced from propsearch.ae's Heritage Building Al Barsha guide.
Transportation & Access
By car, Heritage Building is roughly 15 minutes from Dubai Mall, 15 minutes from Palm Jumeirah, 12 minutes from Burj Al Arab, and 17 minutes from The Walk at JBR. Dubai International Airport (DXB) is roughly 23 minutes away, and Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC) is roughly 37 minutes away.
Drive-time estimates sourced from propsearch.ae's Heritage Building Al Barsha guide, which states these are calculated via Google Maps under typical-traffic assumptions. Single-sourced for the exact minute figures; a separate area-level (not building-specific) distance panel on zeuscapital.ae is broadly consistent in order of magnitude but measures from a different point, so it is not treated as an independent second source for these precise numbers.

Airbnb & Income Potential
Royale Stays does not currently manage a property in Heritage Building, and Al Barsha is not one of Royale Stays’ five core managed areas: Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Marina, Downtown Dubai, JBR, and Business Bay, plus villa management in Mag City and DAMAC Hills/DAMAC Hills 2.
Al Barsha 1’s rental market, and Heritage Building’s own long tenure as an established, fully-completed building, are built around long-term tenants rather than the short-stay guest traffic that drives Airbnb-style demand in Dubai’s short-term-rental hotspots. Any short-term or Airbnb-style letting at Heritage Building would need its own Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism (DET, formerly DTCM) permit and the building management’s approval, arranged directly with the building rather than assumed from the unit type or area alone.
