About The Spirit Tower
The Spirit Tower is a 19-storey residential building in Sports City, DubaiLand, Dubai, developed by The First Group. Construction began in December 2008 and the building was completed in August 2012. This guide covers its unit types, location, and price picture for anyone researching or renting here.
The building’s own listing data shows a slight figure discrepancy: one part of its record states 386 total units, while its unit-layout description states 387 units across Executive and Sanctuary suites plus one-bedroom apartments. Both figures are given.
Developer, storey count, and construction timeline sourced from propsearch.ae's building guide. Bayut.com returned a 404 for this specific building. Unit-count figures (386 vs 387) both come from different parts of the same propsearch.ae page and are a genuine internal discrepancy.

Long-Term Rental Income Potential
Dubai Sports City is not one of Royale Stays’ five core managed areas (Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Marina, Downtown Dubai, JBR, and Business Bay), so this guide focuses on The Spirit Tower as a long-term rental and ownership proposition rather than a short-term-rental case study.
Owners considering short-term or holiday-home rental at The Spirit Tower would need to arrange the appropriate DTCM permit through the building’s own management company, since Royale Stays does not currently manage properties here. The building’s varied studio, suite, and one-bedroom unit mix, and its wide range of transaction prices, reflect a genuinely active multi-owner resale market in this part of Dubai Sports City.
On permits: the permit is arranged through the building's management company, and this is not a blocker. No STR income figures are stated for this building since Royale Stays has no operating history here.
