Kempinski Hotels operates the branded five-star services on-site, but the apartments are individually owned freehold units with active Dubai Land Department resale records, not hotel-owned inventory.

About Kempinski Residences The Creek
Kempinski Residences The Creek is a freehold, twin-tower residential complex in Healthcare City Phase 2, Al Jaddaf, Dubai, developed by Swiss Property (Swiss Property Development LLC, founded 2014). The complex comprises two individual buildings, Tower 1 (13 storeys) and Tower 2 (15 storeys), connected by a shared triple-height entrance lobby. Construction began in February 2017 and the project was completed in November 2025, with an estimated handover of July 2025.
The project was originally launched in 2017 under the name "La Reserve Residences" and was relaunched in 2022 under its current name, Kempinski Residences The Creek. Kempinski Hotels operates the branded five-star hospitality side of the development, but the apartments themselves are individually owned freehold units, confirmed by Kempinski's own official residences page, which markets the collection explicitly as a way to combine hotel-style service "with the privacy and exclusivity of owning your own property." Dubai Land Department sale and mortgage transaction records for individually-resold apartments further confirm this is not hotel-owned inventory. This building should not be confused with the separately-developed Kempinski Marina Residences (Dubai Marina, developer ABA Group) or Kempinski Residences Business Bay, two other Kempinski-branded buildings Royale Stays covers elsewhere in Dubai.
Developer, structure, timeline and hotel-operator confirmed via propsearch.ae's building guide (sourced from Dubai Land Department parcel and Open Data records) and swissproperty.ae, the developer's own site, which lists "Kempinski Residences The Creek Dubai" as its featured current development. Individually-owned freehold status confirmed via kempinski.com's own official residences page and by live Dubai Land Department sale/mortgage transaction records for named individual units.

Unit Types at Kempinski Residences The Creek
Kempinski Residences The Creek holds 276 apartments (per Dubai Land Department-sourced parcel records; Kempinski’s own marketing page states 285) spread across Tower 1 and Tower 2.

Unit mix and sizes confirmed via propsearch.ae's building guide (developer-stated unit-layout summary: one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments plus duplexes) and propsearch.ae's own Dubai Land Department transaction ledger for the building, which additionally records several individual studio-flat sales not called out in the developer's own layout summary; both sources are used together here since the transaction ledger is the more granular, per-unit government record.

Airbnb & Short-Term Rental Income Potential
Dubai Healthcare City is not currently one of Royale Stays' five core managed areas (Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Marina, Downtown Dubai, JBR and Business Bay), so this guide does not claim an existing Royale Stays management track record at Kempinski Residences The Creek specifically. As a Kempinski-branded, hotel-operated residence, some units in the building may also run under an in-house Kempinski rental or serviced-residence programme, separate from an individual owner's own short-term letting.
Every short-term rental in Dubai requires a DTCM holiday home permit. For a hotel-branded building like Kempinski Residences The Creek, that permit is arranged through the building's own management company rather than as a standalone owner application, and Royale Stays can coordinate that process and manage the day-to-day operation, including for owners based overseas, for a fee starting from 15%, covering furnishing, photography, pricing, check-in and guest communications. See Royale Stays' Dubai holiday home permit guide for the current permit process.
