About Zada Tower
Zada Tower is a residential building in Business Bay, developed by DAMAC Properties through its subsidiary Island Oasis Properties. Zada Tower is 30 storeys plus four basement levels per one source; a second source cites 26 storeys, a minor discrepancy this guide notes rather than picks a side on. Zada Tower has 699 units.
Construction began in April 2019 and completed in June 2023. Unlike many Business Bay towers, Zada Tower offers one-bedroom apartments exclusively, designed as compact, efficient units.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
Zada Tower sits in Business Bay, Dubai’s canal-side business and residential district. For the full picture of how Royale Stays manages Airbnb properties across Business Bay, see the Royale Stays Business Bay Airbnb management guide.
Zada Tower joins Royale Stays' wider Business Bay Building Guide cluster, alongside The Sterling East House and Safeer Tower 1, two of the other Business Bay towers Royale Stays has covered, alongside the guide to Paramount Tower Hotel & Residences, Business Bay.
Unit Types
Zada Tower offers compact one-bedroom apartments exclusively, unlike the wider bedroom mix typical of many Business Bay towers. No floor-plan diagrams are included here: floor plans are typically the developer's or broker's proprietary material and have not been independently verified for this guide.
Amenities
Zada Tower's amenities include a swimming pool, a children's play area, a fitness centre and retail outlets, based on the developer's own description. Owners and prospective renters should confirm current on-site facilities directly with the building's management, since amenity offerings can change over time.
Transportation & Access
Business Bay is served by the Dubai Metro (Business Bay station) and the Dubai Water Canal walkway. Royale Stays has not confirmed the exact walking distance from Zada Tower specifically to the nearest metro station, so this guide does not state a specific figure.
Rental & Price Trends
Royale Stays has not yet compiled Zada Tower-specific market data covering long-term lease rents or service charges in this pass, so no building-specific figures are stated here rather than an invented estimate. Owners considering a unit at Zada Tower can run their own numbers through Royale Stays' Dubai property ROI calculator for a unit-specific estimate instead.
Airbnb / Short-Term Rental Income Potential
Short-term letting anywhere in Dubai, including at Zada Tower, runs through a DTCM (Department of Economy and Tourism) holiday home permit, the same licensing requirement that applies regardless of building or area. An owner considering Airbnb at Zada Tower would need to hold that permit before listing a unit, in addition to confirming the building's own short-term letting policy. Royale Stays' guide to the Dubai holiday home permit covers what the process and fees generally involve.
Zada Tower already has an unusually strong short-term rental presence: multiple direct Airbnb listings naming the building specifically, including units with Business Bay Canal views. Royale Stays does not currently have booking data specific to Zada Tower to draw on, so this guide does not present a building income figure it cannot support.
For an owner weighing whether Airbnb makes sense for a unit at Zada Tower, the practical starting points are confirming the building's short-term letting policy, applying for the DTCM permit, and pricing the unit against comparable Business Bay listings. Royale Stays manages the full furnishing, photography, pricing, check-in and guest communications process for owners who prefer not to handle it directly. Owners ready to move forward can submit their property for a management review to get a clearer read on its Airbnb potential.
Royale Stays does not yet have Zada Tower-specific portfolio data to draw on for this guide; this section reflects the already-visible operator/listing demand at Zada Tower only, reviewed by Chris Veinbaums, DTCM-licensed operator.
