About No.9 Tower
No.9 is a waterfront residential tower on Dubai Marina Walk, developed by Select Group and completed in October 2018 after construction began in October 2013. Most sources, including Bayut, DXBOffplan and a Select Group press release, put the tower at 34 storeys, though select-group.ae's own current page and PropSearch both state 37, so both figures are presented here rather than picking one arbitrarily.
The building holds 222 to 223 units (select-group.ae states 222, Bayut and the press release state 223) across one, two and three-bedroom apartments, plus four duplex penthouses. The architectural consultant was National Engineering Bureau, with ALEC as main contractor. No.9 should not be confused with 'The 9 Tower,' a separate and unrelated 25-storey building in Business Bay on Marasi Drive, developed by GMG Ventures. The two buildings share nothing beyond a coincidentally similar name.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
No.9 sits directly on Marina Walk, Dubai Marina's waterfront promenade, within easy reach of Dubai Marina Mall, The Walk at JBR and Marina Beach. Dubai Marina Metro and Tram stations are roughly an 8-minute walk away, with direct access onto Sheikh Zayed Road for the wider city. For the wider area, Royale Stays' own guide to Airbnb management across Dubai Marina covers short-term rental performance and licensing across the district.
Other Dubai Marina buildings covered separately on royalestays.com include Marina Mansions, 5242 Towers, 23 Marina Tower and LIV Marina.
Unit Types
No.9 offers one-bedroom apartments from 600 sq ft, two-bedroom apartments from 1,000 sq ft, and three-bedroom or penthouse layouts ranging from 1,700 to 3,274 sq ft, including four duplex penthouses. No floor-plan diagrams are reproduced here, as these are proprietary developer and broker assets.
Amenities
Residents have access to a rooftop infinity pool, a fully equipped gym, a games room, a separate temperature-controlled swimming pool, a spa, a children's pool and playground, concierge service, 24-hour CCTV security, high-speed lifts and central air conditioning.
Transportation & Access
No.9's Marina Walk address puts Dubai Marina Metro and Tram roughly 8 minutes away on foot, with Sheikh Zayed Road close by for onward access across the city. JBR and The Walk are within a short walk or drive.
Rental & Price Trends
Bayut's own live listing aggregate for No.9 puts the average two-bedroom rent at AED 158,224 per year, Bayut's figure, not a Royale Stays estimate. For broader context, Dubai Marina's area-level rental range currently runs from roughly AED 133,549 to AED 172,117 per year across property types, provided as area context rather than a building-specific claim beyond the Bayut figure above.

Airbnb / Short-Term Rental Income Potential
No.9 already has a visible short-term rental footprint independent of Royale Stays. Booking.com lists 'Primestay – No 9 Tower in Dubai Marina,' Airbnb carries at least one listing branded 'Primestay- No.9 Tower, Dubai Marina,' and the building also appears across Expedia, Travelocity and Hotels.com under listings such as 'Astonishing 1-Bedroom Flat In No 9 Tower Dubai Marina' and 'Luxury Waterfront 3br In No 9 Marina,' a genuinely multi-platform OTA presence, not a single isolated listing.
As a standard residential tower with no hotel or serviced-apartment branding, owners at No.9 can generally apply for a DTCM holiday home permit in the normal way. Royale Stays' guide to the Dubai holiday home permit sets out the current fees and renewal process.
Dubai Marina remains one of Royale Stays' core managed areas, and owners at No.9 can lean on Royale Stays' full furnishing, photography, pricing, check-in and guest communications service, managed from 15%, rather than handling listings directly, backed by the same operational approach behind Royale Stays' guide to choosing an Airbnb management company in Dubai. Owners ready to move forward can submit their property for a management review to get a clearer read on its Airbnb potential.
