About Stella Maris Tower
Stella Maris Tower is a waterfront residential building in Marsa Dubai, the official area name that covers the Dubai Marina district, sitting close to the water's edge on a plot the original Dubai Marina masterplan had set aside for a much shorter building. Rising to around 52-53 storeys with 6 basement parking levels (figures per propsearch.ae), the tower ended up nearly double the height originally planned for the site. It holds a mix of one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom apartments alongside penthouses, with around 313 total units reported by propsearch.ae.
The project has an unusual ownership history worth stating plainly rather than glossing over: it was originally developed by the Abu Dhabi-based Bloom Properties, but by 2019 Bloom Properties had exited, no longer appearing on the building's own signboard or listed on its website. Construction continued regardless, and the tower was completed by September 2022 (per propsearch.ae). Who ultimately delivered the finished building is not confirmed by any source checked for this guide, so this history is stated honestly rather than guessing at a developer name.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
Stella Maris Tower sits roughly 1.1 km from Jumeirah Beach Residence, 1.2 km from Jumeirah Lakes Towers, and 1.5 km from Bluewaters Island, putting it at the quieter, water-facing edge of the Marina rather than in the middle of its densest tower cluster. The building's own marketing has described it as one of the last true waterfront plots left in Dubai Marina, with apartments looking out over the Marina waters and the Arabian Gulf beyond, a developer claim worth noting though not one this guide can independently verify.
Other Dubai Marina addresses covered on this site include Marina Tower, Botanica Tower and 5242 Towers, each a short distance away within the same waterfront district. For Royale Stays' management approach across Dubai Marina more broadly, including furnishing, photography, pricing, check-in and guest communications, see the Airbnb management services page.
Ownership History
Stella Maris Tower is a standard freehold Dubai Marina apartment building, with no hotel-brand or serviced-apartment restriction on short-term letting. Its ownership history is unusual only in the developer sense described above: the original developer, Bloom Properties, exited the project by 2019 partway through construction, and no confirmed successor developer name was found by any source checked for this guide. This does not affect an individual unit owner's freehold title today, only the historical record of who built the tower.
Amenities
No independently confirmed, as-built amenity list exists for Stella Maris Tower. The building's original marketing plans described a concierge service, club house, spa, gym, pools and a multi-purpose hall, but the same source that lists them frames this explicitly as what the project was originally planned to offer, not a confirmed feature list. Given the project changed hands during construction, this guide does not state the amenity list as a current fact.
Transportation & Access
Stella Maris Tower sits within walking distance of Dubai Marina's waterfront promenade and Marina Walk, with Dubai Metro's Red Line served by nearby Marina stations. Sheikh Zayed Road connects the district to the rest of Dubai, and Dubai International Airport is a drive of roughly 25 to 30 minutes depending on traffic, while Al Maktoum International Airport is somewhat closer to the south.
Rental & Price Trends
Live PropertyFinder listings sampled on 2026-08-20 showed a wide spread by unit size: one-bedroom apartments listed from roughly AED 150,000 to AED 160,000 a year, two-bedrooms from about AED 175,000 up to AED 325,000, three-bedrooms from around AED 385,000 to AED 449,000, and four-bedroom or penthouse units from AED 800,000 to AED 850,000 a year. With 70 active listings at the time of the check, the building has a genuinely liquid rental market for a Dubai Marina waterfront address.
Airbnb / Short-Term Rental Income Potential
Stella Maris Tower already has a presence on short-term rental platforms: third-party listings for units in the building appear on Booking.com and Agoda, a sign of real, established guest demand rather than untested potential. As a standard freehold Dubai Marina apartment building with no hotel-brand restriction, it fits Royale Stays' normal DTCM holiday home permit process, along with professional photography, dynamic pricing, round-the-clock guest communication, housekeeping between stays and maintenance coordination.
Royale Stays manages the full short-term rental operation for Dubai Marina owners for a fee starting from 15%, covering the permit, guest operations and maintenance, with a single monthly statement covering revenue, fee, costs and net transfer. See the Dubai Marina Airbnb management page or the full Royale Stays service overview for how this works across the wider Marina district.
Stella Maris Tower offers a genuinely waterfront address in one of Dubai Marina's quieter corners, with established third-party rental demand already in place. For owners who want that demand converted into rental income without the operational load, professional management makes the difference.
