About the Building
Marina Arcade Tower is a 47-storey residential building near the entrance to Dubai Marina, developed by Mada'in Properties through its project subsidiary Marina Arcade Real Estate. Construction began in 2010 and finished in 2017, delivering 280 freehold apartments across a wide mix of layouts, from 1-bedroom lofts up to 4-bedroom units, 3-bedroom duplexes and penthouses. The interiors were designed by Italian designer Matteo Nunziati, with Bosch-fitted kitchens throughout.
It’s a single tower, not a twin-building complex, despite the 'Arcade' in its name occasionally being mistaken for a shopping precinct rather than a residential address.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
Marina Arcade Tower sits right at the entrance to Dubai Marina, putting residents within easy reach of the Marina Walk promenade, the tram line and JBR’s beachfront.
Royale Stays also manages short-term rentals at other Dubai Marina towers, including Mag 218 Tower and Marina Heights Tower, each with its own layout and rental profile.
Unit Types
Marina Arcade Tower’s 280 units span 1-bedroom lofts, 2, 3 and 4-bedroom apartments, 3-bedroom duplexes and penthouses, with sizes ranging roughly 1,075 to 5,467 sq ft.
Amenities
In-building amenities include a roughly 6,000 sq ft gymnasium, one of the largest of any residential tower in the area, a swimming pool, steam room and sauna, a jogging track, table tennis and snooker areas, and a rooftop sky garden with a terrace and whirlpools. There’s also a children’s play area, a community hall for events, 24-hour concierge and valet parking, and select penthouse units come with their own private pool and terrace.

Royale Stays’ Airbnb management services, furnishing, photography, dynamic pricing, guest communications, check-in and maintenance coordination, are available from a management fee starting at 15%.
