About Murjan 1
Murjan 1 is a residential tower developed by Dubai Properties Group, part of the Murjan Cluster – one of six named residential blocks that make up JBR, alongside Shams, Amwaj, Rimal, Bahar and Sadaf. It rises 46 storeys, with some sources reporting 47, and offers one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments plus four-bedroom penthouses, with confirmed size ranges from roughly 1,076 sq ft for one-bedroom units up to penthouse-scale layouts. Total unit count is reported at approximately 359 across sources, though this figure has not been independently confirmed to Royale Stays' two-source standard.
The Murjan Cluster itself includes several individually numbered towers – Murjan 1 through Murjan 6 – plus two buildings known by different names: Royal Beach Residence, which is Murjan 4 under an alternative name, and Rove JBR, a separate three-storey hotel within the same complex, previously named Hommage Hotel and Apartments before its 2024 rebrand. Murjan 1 should not be confused with any of these other Murjan-numbered towers, nor with JBR's other residential clusters – Shams, Amwaj, Rimal, Bahar and Sadaf – each a separate development within the wider JBR community.
Construction on the Murjan Cluster began around 2004, with towers across the complex, including Murjan 1, completed in 2007 as part of JBR's main wave of handovers. The building sits within the wider JBR beachfront community, close to The Walk promenade and direct beach access.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
Murjan 1 sits within JBR's Murjan Cluster, close to The Walk promenade and direct beach access, with Dubai Marina and its metro station a short distance away. For the full picture of how Royale Stays manages Airbnb properties across JBR, see the Royale Stays JBR Airbnb management guide.
Unit Types
Murjan 1 offers one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments alongside four-bedroom penthouses. One-bedroom units run roughly 1,076 to 1,250 sq ft with two balconies and one to two bathrooms, two-bedroom units roughly 1,300 to 1,736 sq ft with two to three bathrooms, three-bedroom units roughly 1,900 sq ft and above with three to four bathrooms and a maid's room, and four-bedroom penthouses with four to five bathrooms. Total unit count is reported at approximately 359, though this figure traces to a single source and has not been independently confirmed to Royale Stays' two-source standard, so it is presented here as an approximate reference rather than a confirmed count. No floor-plan diagrams are included here: floor plans are typically the developer's or broker's proprietary material and have not been independently verified for this guide.
Amenities
Murjan 1's amenities include a well-equipped gymnasium with steam and sauna facilities, a swimming pool and jacuzzi, 24-hour security and concierge, four high-speed elevators, covered parking with one slot per unit, a kids' play area, cycling tracks, a barbecue area, a first aid and medical centre, a cafeteria, central air-conditioning, double-glazed windows, laundry facilities, and landscaped gardens with direct beach access. Many units offer Palm Jumeirah, Bluewaters Island, Arabian Gulf or Dubai Marina views, and on-site retail and dining options are available within the wider Murjan Cluster. Owners and prospective renters should confirm current on-site facilities directly with the building's management, since amenity offerings can change over time.
Transportation & Access
JBR is served by the Dubai Tram, with the Dubai Marina Metro station a short distance away, and The Walk promenade running directly past the Murjan Cluster with beach access, restaurants and retail on the ground level. Sheikh Zayed Road access places Dubai Marina, Downtown Dubai and Dubai International Airport within a reasonable drive.
Rental & Price Trends
Royale Stays has not independently confirmed a building-specific rental figure for Murjan 1 in this pass. A single sale-price figure appears on one lower-quality listing source, but that same source also carries a confirmed developer and completion-date error elsewhere, so it is not used here even as a sale-price reference without independent corroboration. Owners considering a unit at Murjan 1 can run their own numbers through Royale Stays' Dubai property ROI calculator for a unit-specific estimate instead.
Airbnb / Short-Term Rental Income Potential
Units in Murjan 1 already see short-term rental activity through third-party booking platforms and direct competitors: a Booking.com listing markets "MURJAN JBR Apartments by HAPPY SEASON," Agoda lists a specific furnished one-bedroom unit at Murjan 1, and a direct competitor lists a one-bedroom unit under the title "Pleasant 1BR at Murjan 1." These are third-party operator listings, not Royale Stays-managed properties, and should be read as market evidence that short-term letting is already happening in this exact building, not as a claim about any specific listing's performance.
JBR is a confirmed, active Royale Stays management area, with dedicated building guides already covering towers in the Rimal, Bahar, Amwaj, Sadaf and Shams clusters.
Short-term letting anywhere in Dubai, including at Murjan 1, runs through a DTCM (Department of Economy and Tourism) holiday home permit. Royale Stays' guide to the Dubai holiday home permit covers what the process and fees generally involve.
For an owner weighing whether Airbnb makes sense for a unit at Murjan 1, the practical starting points are confirming the DTCM permit route, furnishing to a standard that competes with the building's existing short-term listings, and pricing against comparable JBR units. Royale Stays manages the full furnishing, photography, pricing, check-in and guest communications process for owners who prefer not to handle it directly – see also Royale Stays' wider Dubai Airbnb management overview. Owners ready to move forward can submit their property for a management review to get a clearer read on its Airbnb potential.
Royale Stays does not yet have Murjan 1-specific portfolio data to draw on for this guide; this section reflects the already-visible operator/listing demand at Murjan 1 only, reviewed by Chris Veinbaums, DTCM-licensed operator.
