Al Manara Tower Offices in Business Bay, Dubai

Al Manara Tower — Grade A Canal-Front Offices with 258 Strata Units in Business Bay. Al Manara Tower is a 35-storey Grade A Freehold commercial office tower in Business Bay, developed by ETA Star Property Developers L.L.C. — the real estate arm of the ETA Ascon Star Group, a UAE-based conglomerate with operations across construction, engineering and real estate.

The architectural design was carried out by Architects 61 Private Ltd, a Singapore-based architecture practice. Construction began in June 2006 and the project was completed in 2012. The building was valued by Dubai Land Department at AED 260 million. The structure follows a 4 basement + ground + 6 podium + health club floor + 27 office floors format, and the building is located directly on the Dubai Water Canal — one of the few towers in Business Bay with true waterfront positioning. Al Manara Tower houses 258 office units and 9 ground-floor retail units, with a collective office space of 444,370 sq.ft and an average floor plate of 16,458 sq.ft. Offices are available in three configurations: semi-fitted (672–1,131 sq.ft), fully fitted (662–2,261 sq.ft, with pantry and washroom), and shell-and-core (1,497–1,512 sq.ft). Ownership is structured as strata title — each unit has its own individual DED license, making it directly buyable, sellable and mortgageable. The sleek glass façade maximises natural light while the energy-efficient HVAC system supports Dubai's sustainability priorities. Tenant amenities are comprehensive: a temperature-controlled swimming pool, a fully equipped health club with modern gym machines, sauna, business centre, front desk concierge and 24/7 security with CCTV. Ground-floor F&B includes Spring Onion Restaurant, Malang Lounge and a supermarket. The tower's DLD average transaction price is AED 1,379/sq.ft with current market sale prices of AED 750,000–AED 2,300,000 and rental rates of AED 36,000–AED 278,000 per year.
