About Palace Residences North

Palace Residences North is an off-plan residential project in Dubai Creek Harbour, developed by Emaar Properties and launched in Q1 2023. The project will consist of 335 branded units, including 1, 2 and 3-bedroom apartments and 3-bedroom, two-storey canal-facing townhouses, spread across multiple towers. The "Palace" name is part of the Address Hotels + Resorts portfolio, and residents will have access to the neighbouring Palace Hotel's five-star facilities.

The "Palace" name is shared by several distinct Dubai Creek Harbour projects, so it is worth being precise about which one this guide covers. Palace Residences North should not be confused with Creek Palace Residences, the original, already-completed Palace Residences project on Creek Island, a separate pair of towers finished in March 2026. It should also not be confused with Palace Residences Creek Blue, a different unbuilt phase of the same wider Emaar "Palace" portfolio. And despite sharing the word "North" and the same Dubai Creek Harbour location, Palace Residences North is an entirely unrelated development from Dubai Creek Residences North Tower 3, a different Emaar sub-development with a different name. This guide covers only Palace Residences North, the branded Emaar project expected to complete in June 2027.

Reported storey counts for Palace Residences North vary by source, with some describing a single mid-rise tower and others describing multiple towers of different heights. This guide does not publish a specific storey figure it cannot independently confirm.


Location & Nearby Landmarks

Palace Residences North sits within Dubai Creek Harbour, Emaar's waterfront masterplan on the banks of Dubai Creek. The community is close to the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary and Dubai Creek Marina, with Downtown Dubai and Dubai International Airport (DXB) both a short drive away once the road network serving this phase is complete.

Dubai Creek Harbour is home to several other buildings covered separately on royalestays.com, including Dubai Creek Residences North Tower 3, Dubai Creek Residence South Tower 2 and 17 Icon Bay and Palace Residences Creek Blue, each a separate, already-built Emaar project with its own developer timeline and unit mix. For a wider view of the area’s short-term rental market, Royale Stays’ Airbnb management guide for Dubai Creek Harbour covers licensing and demand across the wider community.


Unit Types

Palace Residences North will offer 335 branded units in total: 1, 2 and 3-bedroom apartments, plus 3-bedroom, two-storey townhouses facing the canal. As with any off-plan project, exact floor plans and final unit specifications are confirmed by Emaar's official sales channel rather than by this guide, since off-plan layouts can be revised before handover.


Amenities

Planned amenities include a gymnasium, a yoga room and an infinity pool, with a dedicated children's play area and a separate kids' pool. Residents are also planned to receive exclusive access to the neighbouring Palace Hotel's five-star facilities, part of the same Address Hotels + Resorts-linked "Palace" brand. As with any pre-handover project, the final amenity offering is confirmed only at delivery.


Development Timeline & Status

Palace Residences North launched for sale in Q1 2023 and is currently under construction, with Emaar targeting a June 2027 handover. The project is still listed as off-plan across major property portals and Emaar's own sales channel, with no source found describing it as delivered or handed over.

Because the building has not been delivered, no sale or rental transaction history exists for it yet, so this guide does not publish sale or rental comparables it cannot support. Prospective owners weighing an off-plan purchase can model their own scenario with Royale Stays' ROI calculator once handover is closer and real comparables exist.


Future STR Potential

Palace Residences North is not yet delivered, so there is no current income figure, occupancy data or existing short-term rental listing to report for this building, and Royale Stays does not manage any unit here today. Once handover takes place, owners will need the same building blocks any Dubai Creek Harbour holiday home needs: a DTCM holiday home permit, professional photography, dynamic pricing, round-the-clock guest communication, housekeeping between stays and owners'-association coordination.

Emaar Properties is not a hotel brand with a short-term-letting restriction, unlike Vida, the only developer or brand confirmed to prohibit it outright, so there is no policy reason a Palace Residences North apartment could not be run as a licensed holiday home once handed over. Royale Stays already manages short-term rentals across other Dubai Creek Harbour buildings and could extend that same operational model here, covered in Royale Stays' guide to Airbnb property management in Dubai. Owners who want an early conversation ahead of handover can submit their property for more information.

This section is deliberately written as a future/conditional discussion, not a current-earnings guide. Palace Residences North has no completed units, no current owners letting short-term, and no Royale Stays-managed unit at this building today.
