Community

Business Bay began as a mixed commercial and residential district rather than a suburban family enclave. That origin still shapes its rhythm. Immediately south of Downtown, this working waterfront has more than 240 towers and stays active from early morning through dinner. The Dubai Water Canal forms its spine and promenade, while Burj Park, Bay Avenue Park and Dubai Creek add green and waterside space. Residents are largely young professionals, expatriates, couples and singles on annual contracts, with families more common in larger apartments.

No public schools sit inside the district, but several private institutions are within a short drive. Options include Horizon English School, JESS Al Safa, Safa British School, Hartland International School and Clarion School, with annual fees from AED 14,700 to AED 99,500. School buses generally serve Business Bay towers. Clinics and pharmacies are plentiful nearby. Emirates Hospital and Clinic operates from Executive Towers, while Mediclinic City Hospital is 11 minutes away by car. Choithrams, Spinneys, Carrefour Market and West Zone cover groceries.

Interior

Apartments here follow a restrained, neutral design language: pale walls, warm-toned floors and unfussy joinery that let the canal light carry the room. Because the tower faces the water, daylight arrives long and low across living areas, and evening brings the illuminated Burj Khalifa into the frame. Layouts are clearly zoned, with sleeping areas set away from the main living space. A 1-bedroom apartment for sale in Business Bay at this address means the tower's dominant stock — roughly 739 to 1,001 sq ft, sized around single-occupant and couple living.

Kitchens are fitted to the compact floor plates, with built-in cabinetry and space for integrated appliances. Bathrooms use full-height tiling and consistent sanitaryware, while living areas favour durable finishes suited to daily use. Studios measure 400 to 484 sq ft. At the other end of the range, 2-bedroom apartments for sale in Business Bay within this tower span about 1,001 to 1,274 sq ft. High-speed internet and digital and satellite TV connections are installed throughout.

icon

Infrastructure

Daily errands begin before the front door closes. The ground floor carries a small shopping area, a mini-mart, a coffee shop and the Baron Cafe and Restaurant, which covers the weekday breakfast-and-coffee habit without a car. Beyond the lobby, the canal promenade opens into the district's dining spread, from Prime68's high-floor steakhouse to ROKA's Japanese robatayaki inside the Zaha Hadid-designed Opus. Choithrams, Spinneys, Carrefour Market and West Zone handle grocery runs, and pharmacies are scattered through the surrounding streets.

For larger shopping and leisure, The Dubai Mall and Downtown attractions are close enough to reach on foot during seven or eight months of the year. Healthcare options range from local clinics to Emirates Hospital and Clinic in Executive Towers. Mediclinic City Hospital is 11 minutes away by car. Al Madar Scala Tower Bus Stop 2 is a one-minute walk from the entrance and serves the F41 and X22 routes. Business Bay Metro Station on the Red Line is six minutes away by car, with Sheikh Zayed Road and Ras Al Khor Road readily accessible.

ROI 8.5%

Position and established occupancy underpin the investment case. The building stands directly on the canal, with views of Burj Khalifa and The Dubai Fountain. Its compact studios and one bedroom apartments suit the working professionals who dominate annual tenancies in the area. Transport access supports demand: a bus stop is one minute from the lobby, Business Bay Metro Station is six minutes away by car, and Sheikh Zayed Road and Ras Al Khor Road are readily accessible. As a completed building, Scala Tower carries no construction timeline. Purchases proceed as cash or mortgage resales rather than through a developer payment plan.

Current studio and one bedroom prices start from AED 1,100,000. The available two bedroom unit is listed at AED 2,000,000. Foreign nationals can buy an apartment in Business Bay outright because the district is a designated freehold zone. The 4% DLD transfer fee is due at registration.

icon

For Rent

Apartments for rent in Scala Tower currently start at AED 44,999 a year for a studio and AED 64,990 for a one bedroom. Two bedroom units are listed from AED 100,000. Current project analytics report an 8.5% gross rental yield, compared with 6%–7.5% for standard Business Bay stock. District rents rose 18.2% year on year in 2025, supported by demand from professionals on annual contracts.

icon

For Living

Daily life is quieter than Business Bay's reputation suggests. Layouts are efficient and clearly zoned, with neutral finishes suited to long-term use. Residents highlight the well-maintained pool and a compact gym equipped with machines and weights. Ground-floor retail, a mini-mart and Baron Cafe cover small errands. Outside, the canal promenade makes walking to Dubai Mall and Downtown practical for much of the year. Schools, clinics and supermarkets are a short drive away.

icon

For Resale

Resale prospects rest on a delivered building with a working rental market rather than on a completion date. Over the trailing 12 months, 43 apartments changed hands in Scala Tower, with a typical home around AED 1.2M and a median size of 978 sq ft — proof that exit liquidity exists at realistic prices. Asking levels in the tower now average AED 1,532 per sq ft, while the wider Business Bay market recorded 6,601 transactions worth AED 22.5 billion in H1 2025. One-bedroom stock, the most traded size here, tends to find buyers and tenants fastest.

Other associated projects include Burj View Residence in Barsha South/Arjan and Tulip Oasis X Residences in Majan, marketed under the Madar Developments brand.

Location Scala Tower by Al Madar Holdings

General FAQs

Below are the questions buyers and tenants ask most often about this building, its prices, rents and surroundings. If something you need is not covered here, our advisers can pull current availability and figures for you.

Ask a Question

Where exactly is Scala Tower located?

The building stands on Marasi Drive in Business Bay, Dubai, directly on the Dubai Water Canal and immediately south of Downtown Dubai. Residents have open sightlines to Burj Khalifa and The Dubai Fountain, with the canal promenade at the entrance. Sheikh Zayed Road and Ras Al Khor Road are accessible within minutes. A bus stop served by the F41 and X22 routes is a one-minute walk away, while Business Bay Metro Station on the Red Line is six minutes away by car.

What are the payment terms for buying in Scala Tower?

There is no developer payment plan because the tower was completed in 2010 and its homes trade as ready resales. Buyers pay in cash or use a mortgage arranged with a UAE lender, subject to the seller's terms rather than an instalment schedule. Allow for the 4% Dubai Land Department transfer fee at registration, along with standard agency and trustee-office charges. Residential purchases in Dubai do not attract the 5% VAT applicable to commercial property.

How much does an apartment in Scala Tower cost today?

Current asking prices begin at AED 1,100,000, covering the available studios and entry-level one bedroom apartments. The available two bedroom unit is priced at AED 2,000,000. Across current listings, the tower averages AED 1,532 per sq ft. Over the last 12 months, 43 apartments changed hands in Scala Tower. The typical sale was around AED 1.2M, and the median home size was 978 sq ft.

Which unit types and sizes are available?

Scala Tower contains 182 residences across three formats. Studios on the sale market are listed at 400, 482 and 484 sq ft. One bedroom apartments run from roughly 739 to 1,001 sq ft and dominate both the sale and rental pools. Two bedroom layouts measure about 1,001 to 1,274 sq ft. The developer describes the structure as 2B+G+21, meaning 21 levels above the ground floor and two basement levels used for parking.

What amenities do residents have access to?

Facilities include a swimming pool and gymnasium, plus a fitness club with sauna, steam bath and Jacuzzis. Families have access to a secure children's play area. Three high-speed elevators serve the floors, while shaded and underground parking is available. CCTV and 24-hour security operate throughout the building. On the ground floor, residents will find a small shopping area, mini-mart, coffee shop and Baron Cafe and Restaurant, covering several everyday needs without leaving the tower.

What rental income can an owner expect?

Current asking rents start at AED 44,999 a year for a studio and AED 64,990 for a one bedroom. Two bedroom homes are listed from AED 100,000 annually. Current project analytics report an 8.5% gross rental yield, compared with 6%–7.5% for standard Business Bay apartments. Tenants are predominantly working professionals on annual contracts, supporting a steady pool of long-term demand. Actual income will depend on the unit, purchase price, occupancy and operating costs.

Can foreign buyers own property in Business Bay?

Yes. Business Bay is a designated freehold zone, so buyers of any nationality can own an apartment outright, with title registered through the Dubai Land Department. Ownership is not tied to residency, and units may be leased, resold or transferred. Registration takes place at a DLD trustee office, where the 4% transfer fee is paid. Mortgage finance is available to residents and non-residents, subject to each lender's eligibility criteria and loan-to-value limits.

What are the schools and healthcare options nearby?

There are no public schools inside Business Bay, but several private schools are a short drive away. These include Horizon English School, JESS Al Safa, Safa British School, Hartland International School and Clarion School. Annual fees range from AED 14,700 to AED 99,500, and school buses generally serve Business Bay towers. Clinics and pharmacies are plentiful in the district. Emirates Hospital and Clinic operates from Executive Towers, while Mediclinic City Hospital is 11 minutes away by car.

Is the building better suited to investors or owner-occupiers?

It suits both groups for different reasons. Investors get a completed asset with a documented rental history, compact units in popular rental formats and a reported gross yield of 8.5%, without construction risk. Owner-occupiers gain a canal-front address with ground-floor retail and cafes, plus a practical walk to Dubai Mall and Downtown during the cooler months. Resident feedback also highlights the well-maintained pool and the compact but properly equipped gym.
