About Trident Waterfront
Trident Waterfront is a 20-storey residential tower in Dubai Marina, developed by Trident International Holdings. Construction began in July 2010 and the building was completed in June 2011, standing around 213 ft (65m) tall. The tower holds 71 residential units across two, three and four-bedroom apartments, plus a small number of penthouses with private rooftop pools.
Trident Waterfront is one of several towers built by Trident International Holdings in Dubai Marina, alongside the separately named Trident Grand Residence and Trident Bayside and Trident Marinascape, each its own distinct building with its own construction timeline and unit mix. Some property portals also list this tower under the shorter name 'The Waterfront', the same building rather than a separate one.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
Trident Waterfront sits within Dubai Marina, one of Dubai's best-connected waterfront communities, with views over the Marina and the Arabian Gulf. For a wider view of the area's short-term rental market, Royale Stays' Airbnb management guide for Dubai Marina covers licensing and demand across the community.
Dubai Marina is home to several other buildings covered separately on royalestays.com, including Trident Grand Residence, DEC Tower 1 and Marina Diamond 4, each with its own layout and unit mix.
Unit Types
Trident Waterfront offers two, three and four-bedroom apartments, 71 units in total, with two-bedroom units around 1,709 sq ft and three-bedroom units around 2,326 sq ft of covered area, each with a closed-style fitted kitchen, a large living space and a balcony. A small number of penthouses top the building, each with access to a private rooftop swimming pool.
Amenities
Residents have access to a temperature-controlled swimming pool, a separate chill pool, a fully equipped gym, sauna and jacuzzi, a billiard room, a banquet hall, a children's play area and day-care and hobby centre, aerobics, yoga and massage facilities, private terraces and gardens, covered parking, and round-the-clock CCTV security and maintenance.
Rental & Price Trends
Portal data shows Trident Waterfront apartments renting for between roughly AED 139,000 and AED 210,000 a year, figures that reflect traditional long-term leasing rather than short-term Airbnb performance. Owners weighing a specific unit's numbers can run their own scenario through Royale Stays' ROI calculator.
Airbnb / Short-Term Rental Income Potential
Across Royale Stays managed Dubai Marina apartments, the blended rate runs AED 921 a night at 88% occupancy. A two-bedroom apartment averages AED 755 a night for roughly AED 20,712 a month, figures as stated on Royale Stays' Marina Diamond 1 and Marina Diamond 3 guides, reused here per the area-blended convention since no Trident Waterfront-specific short-term budget file exists in Royale Stays' managed portfolio data as of this build. No dedicated three or four-bedroom figures are published in that dataset, so owners of larger Trident Waterfront units are best served by a free, unit-specific earnings estimate rather than an extrapolated one.
Short-term letting anywhere in Dubai, including at Trident Waterfront, needs a valid DTCM holiday-home permit before taking bookings, alongside professional photography, dynamic pricing, round-the-clock guest communication, housekeeping between stays and owners-association coordination. Royale Stays runs the full operation for owners here for a fee starting from 15%, covering furnishing, photography, pricing, check-in and guest communications, with a single monthly statement covering revenue, fee, costs and net transfer.
Trident International Holdings is a private developer, not a hotel brand: there is no policy reason, unlike Vida, the site's only confirmed prohibited brand, that Trident Waterfront apartments can't be run as licensed holiday homes. The wider operational approach is covered in Royale Stays' guide to Airbnb property management in Dubai. Owners ready to move forward can submit their property for a free earnings estimate.
