About The Edge, Business Bay
The Edge is not to be confused with DAMAC Maison Bay's Edge, a separate, DAMAC-developed hotel/serviced-apartment hybrid building elsewhere in Business Bay (see the FAQ below). The Edge is a Select Group development of 1,030 apartments across two towers, Tower A and Tower B, sharing a single podium, with a combined built-up area of roughly 1.423 million sq ft. Construction has been underway since 2023, with a AED 655 million main contract awarded to Engineering Contracting Company LLC (ECC).
A separate building, Creek Edge Tower 1, also exists in Dubai Creek Harbour. It is an unrelated project in a different area, sharing only the word 'Edge' in its name.
Location and Nearby Landmarks
The Edge sits in Business Bay near Marasi Drive, at what Select Group itself markets as the boundary between Business Bay and Downtown Dubai, with easy access to Sheikh Zayed Road (E11) and Al Khail Road (E44).
For the full picture of the district, from the Dubai Canal towers to the DIFC-facing side, see Royale Stays' Business Bay area guide. Owners comparing other buildings in the same district can also look at Onda by Kasco and MAG 318.
Unit Types
The Edge offers 1 and 2-bedroom apartments only. One-bedroom units run roughly 573 to 702 sq ft, while two-bedroom units span roughly 837 to 909 sq ft. Every apartment is designed by Killa Design with a contemporary interior finish, and residents can choose between Tower A and Tower B, both sharing the same podium-level amenities.
Amenities and Lifestyle
The Edge's amenities are concentrated on a roughly 61,000 sq ft podium-level leisure deck shared by both towers.
That includes an infinity/community pool, a courtyard and pool deck with sunken seating, barbecue and lounge areas, hot tubs, a padel court, a pickleball/basketball court, an outdoor fitness area, a yoga deck with fly-yoga equipment, a games room and a co-working space.
Transportation & Access
The Edge is accessible via Sheikh Zayed Road (E11) and Al Khail Road (E44), putting it within a short drive of Downtown Dubai, DIFC and the wider Business Bay canal front. As with most of Business Bay, a car, taxi or ride-hailing app is the practical way to get around, with the Business Bay Metro Station also within reach.
Rental & Price Trends
Current asking prices at The Edge run from roughly AED 1 to 1.1 million for a one-bedroom apartment, up to around AED 1.85 million for a two-bedroom, on a 40/60 payment plan (20% on booking, 20% within 6 months, 60% on completion). The building continues to see active pre-handover resale activity as it approaches its targeted Q4 2026 completion. Royale Stays has not independently verified an achievable rental range specific to this building, since it remains under construction.
Owners evaluating what a unit here could realistically earn as a short-term rental can run their own numbers through Royale Stays' Dubai property ROI calculator as the building gets closer to handover.
Airbnb and Short-Term Rental Potential
The Edge is still under construction, with handover targeted for Q4 2026, so no unit here can be listed for short-term rental yet and no building-specific occupancy or nightly-rate figures exist to report.
Once handed over, The Edge will be a standard freehold Business Bay apartment building, not a hotel-branded or serviced-apartment property, so the usual owner-facing DTCM holiday-home permit process will apply directly, with no hotel-operator routing required. Its position on the Business Bay/Downtown Dubai border and its 1 and 2-bedroom layouts make it a straightforward fit for Royale Stays' existing guest base in the district.
Royale Stays manages Airbnb and short-term rental units across Business Bay, Downtown Dubai, Dubai Marina, Palm Jumeirah and JBR for a management fee from 15%, covering furnishing, photography, pricing, check-in, guest communications and maintenance coordination. Owners who want to plan ahead of handover can submit their property for an early conversation, or call +971566424239.
No building-specific occupancy or nightly-rate figures exist for The Edge because it has not yet been handed over; all figures above are asking-price and unit-mix data only.
