RP One, Business Bay
RP One is a mixed-use supertall tower under construction in Business Bay, Dubai, developed by RP Global. Jumeirah signed an agreement in September 2015 to operate the tower's hospitality component, and the project remains under development with no confirmed completion date. Royale Stays has not confirmed whether RP One will include individually-owned residential units available for short-term rental management once complete, so this guide is informational rather than a management pitch.

About RP One
RP One is a mixed-use tower under construction in Business Bay, Dubai, developed by RP Global. In September 2015, Jumeirah signed an agreement with RP Global to operate the hospitality side of the tower, at the time described as a project valued at roughly AED 3.67 billion, with completion originally planned before Expo 2020 opened in October 2021.
As of the most recent available building record (updated 17 Aug 2026), RP One remains listed as under development, with no revised public completion date found. Royale Stays did not find a published unit mix, sale-transaction record or handover date for RP One in the sources checked for this guide, so specific figures for the residential unit types are not stated here.
Public sources disagree on RP One's planned height and storey count: one detailed building-data source lists 112 storeys and 500 metres, describing the tower as set to become Dubai's second-tallest building on completion, while a separate general reference lists an earlier design stage at 85 storeys and 315 metres. Given this unresolved conflict, this guide does not state a specific height or storey figure until the numbers can be independently reconciled.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
RP One sits in Business Bay, close to Bay Avenue Mall and Business Bay's canal-side parks, roughly 8 minutes' drive from The Dubai Mall and around 16 minutes from Dubai International Airport (DXB). Downtown Dubai is around 1.3km away. For the wider area, see Royale Stays' Business Bay Airbnb management guide.
Nearby buildings already covered in Royale Stays' Business Bay Building Guide series include DAMAC Maison Cour Jardin, another hotel-operated, individually-owned residential tower a short distance away.
Unit Types
RP One's mixed-use program is understood to include a hotel component under Jumeirah's operation, but Royale Stays did not find a public, verifiable breakdown of individual residential unit types, sizes or unit count for RP One, and no Dubai Land Department sale-transaction record was found for the project at the time of research. This guide will be updated with unit-type and amenity details once they are independently confirmed.
STR Income Potential
Royale Stays has not confirmed whether RP One will include individually-owned residential units available for short-term rental once complete, so this section is informational rather than an income projection.
Where a Business Bay development is operated in partnership with a hospitality brand, as RP One is with Jumeirah, short-term letting of any privately-owned units is typically arranged through the building's own management company rather than a standalone holiday home permit application, in the same way as other hotel-operated buildings in Dubai.
If individually-owned units become available at RP One in future, Royale Stays could offer the same full-service Airbnb and holiday-home management it already provides across Business Bay, for a fee starting from 15%. Owners elsewhere in Business Bay can request a free property assessment today, and RP One buyers are welcome to reach out once their unit is handed over. For the wider Dubai picture, see Royale Stays' Dubai Airbnb property management guide.
RP One has not been handed over and Royale Stays currently manages no properties there; no income, occupancy or listing claim is made for this building.
