About Marasi Bay

Living in Marasi Bay

Business Bay sits immediately south of Downtown Dubai along a 3.2-kilometre stretch of the Dubai Water Canal, framed by Sheikh Zayed Road (E11) to the west and Al Khail Road (E44) to the east. Originally master-planned in 2003 as a commercial district, the neighbourhood has shifted steadily toward residential and hospitality towers over the past decade.

Most residential stock consists of high-rise apartments ranging from compact studios and 1-bedroom units for city commuters to canal-front duplexes and branded penthouses in Marasi Bay. Walkability is strongest along the canal boardwalk and around Bay Avenue, which houses supermarkets, casual dining, pharmacies, and a community park.

Investment outlook

Because Business Bay borders both Downtown Dubai and DIFC, tenant demand comes year-round from finance, legal, and tech professionals working within a 10-minute radius. Price per square foot typically sits 15% to 25% below comparable towers inside the Downtown boulevard, which gives buyers a lower entry point while drawing from the same rental pool.

Freehold ownership applies to all foreign nationalities across Business Bay. Off-plan projects here range from mid-market towers near Al Khail Road to ultra-prime branded residences by Bugatti, Pagani, and Dorchester Collection along the Marasi waterfront.

Amenities & surroundings

A 12-kilometre waterside jogging and cycling track runs along both banks of the Dubai Water Canal, linking Business Bay directly to Jumeirah Beach in one direction and Dubai Design District in the other. Bay Avenue Mall provides everyday essentials—Spinneys, Choithrams, clinics, salons, and fitness studios—while Dubai Mall is one metro stop or a 5-minute drive north.
