About Tennis Tower
Tennis Tower is a 15-storey residential building in the Al Hebiah Fourth area of Dubai Sports City, Dubai, developed by Falak Properties. Dubai Land Department records trace the project back to January 2007, and Propsearch.ae's own building status field lists it as Complete. The building holds 140 freehold apartments across a mix of studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom layouts.
Tennis Tower is one of seven sports-themed residential towers in Sports City built by Falak Properties under the shared Falak Towers development, also known as Westgate Apartments: Hub Canal Tower 1, Hub Canal Tower 2, Golf Tower, Cricket Tower, Tennis Tower, Ice Hockey Tower and Baseball Tower. Four of its six sister towers, Hub Canal Tower 1, Hub Canal Tower 2, Golf Tower and Ice Hockey Tower, already have their own Royale Stays building guides. The two Hub Canal towers sit by the canal near the sports stadia, while Tennis Tower and the rest of the group overlook the golf course near the intersection of Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road and Al Khail Road.
Dubai Land Department's own transaction records register every unit in Tennis Tower under the standard "Flat" property sub-type, the ordinary classification used for a freehold apartment, not a "Hotel Apartment" sub-type. That distinction matters for how a short-term rental permit is arranged here, covered in the Airbnb section below.
Developer, storey count, unit count and unit mix sourced from Propsearch.ae ("The project was a development by Falak Properties", "15-storey residential building", "a total of 140 units", "a mix of studios, one-, and two-bedroom apartments") and Bayut.com's Tennis Tower guide ("Developer: Falak Properties", "Number of floors: 15", "Number of units: 140", "Unit type: Studio, 1 and 2-bedroom apartments"). All four figures are an EXACT 2-source match. The Falak Towers seven-building group and its member names are an EXACT 2-source match (Propsearch's Additional Information panel and Bayut's About section, both listing the same seven tower names). Completion year is single-sourced: Bayut states the project "was launched in 2007... and completed in 2011", consistent with Propsearch's own "First Trace: January 2007" milestone entry. Propsearch's own Construction Started/Construction Finished milestone fields ("November 2010" / "May 2010") are internally self-contradictory (a finish date before the start date) and are treated as an unusable data-entry error on Propsearch's part, not as a genuine second data point conflicting with Bayut's 2011 figure. DLD Property Sub-type "Flat" confirmed individually on all 8 transaction records reviewed on Propsearch's Latest Transactions table for this building (Building Name field: "Tennis Tower" on every row), never "Hotel Apartment."

Studio and one-bedroom average sizes sourced from Bayut.com's "Apartment Types in Tennis Tower" section. Two-bedroom size range sourced from the same Bayut section, checked against Propsearch.ae's own transaction table recording real 1,377 sq ft and 1,529 sq ft two-bedroom sales. No one-bedroom Dubai Land Department sale record was visible in the accessible portion of Propsearch's transaction table for this building, so one-bedroom pricing is not stated here as a DLD-verified figure; this is disclosed as a data gap rather than estimated.

Tennis Tower Price Trends
Real Dubai Land Department Sale-type transactions for Tennis Tower studios run from AED 555,000 (664 sq ft, 14 Jul 2025) to AED 650,000 (664 sq ft, 22 Sep 2025), with the most recent recorded sale at AED 635,000 for a 667 sq ft studio on 25 Dec 2025. Two-bedroom sales range from AED 1,100,000 (1,529 sq ft, 1 May 2025) to AED 1,325,000 (1,377 sq ft, 21 Nov 2025).
A commonly-cited figure of around AED 480,000 for a Tennis Tower studio is worth a closer look: on Dubai Land Department's own record for that exact transaction (25 Dec 2025, 667 sq ft), the Transaction Type field reads "Mortgage Registration," not "Sale": it reflects the mortgage amount registered against the unit, not what it actually sold for. The genuine Sale-type record for a same-size studio on that same date was AED 635,000, noticeably higher. Total service charges for Tennis Tower run to roughly AED 12.62 per sq ft per year according to Dubai Land Department-sourced figures published by Bayut.

Airbnb & Short-Term Rental Income Potential
Tennis Tower's units are registered with Dubai Land Department under the standard "Flat" property sub-type, and its developer, Falak Properties, is not a hotel brand subject to a short-term letting restriction. There is no confirmed policy barrier here to running a licensed holiday home, subject to the standard DTCM permit.
No existing short-term rental listing for this specific building turned up during research, and Dubai Sports City is not currently one of Royale Stays' five core managed areas (Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Marina, Downtown Dubai, JBR and JVC). That said, Royale Stays can still arrange the holiday-home permit and manage a Tennis Tower listing end to end, including furnishing, photography, pricing, guest communication and maintenance, for a fee starting from 15%.
