Penthouses

The Crestmark is a canal-front tower on Marasi Drive with 189 homes — studios through three bedroom apartments, plus three penthouses — and pool, wellness and family facilities grouped floor by floor.

The building rises as a compact high-rise: ground floor, three podium levels and eighteen residential floors, holding 189 homes in total. Each one comes with a home-automation system as standard. Apartment floor areas run from 493 sq ft up to 3,080 sq ft, while the three penthouses stretch from 2,742 to 6,104 sq ft. On the current market you will find studios listed from 496 sq ft, 1 bedroom homes from 747 sq ft and 2 bedroom homes from 1,057 sq ft. Plans favour usable space over unit count, with one or two balconies, a separate laundry room and a powder room recurring across the layouts. Interiors follow Ellington's contemporary, craft-led design language. A whole podium floor is given over to resort and play facilities, above a social ground level with concierge desk, lounge, library and the Kidtropolis children's town. Sightlines are the reward for the Marasi Drive position: the Dubai Water Canal and Business Bay Marina fill the lower views, with Downtown Dubai's skyline behind them.

Community

Business Bay is Dubai's high-energy business district, with more than 240 towers lining the Dubai Water Canal immediately south of Downtown Dubai. Homes, offices and hotels share the same blocks. The area draws expatriate professionals, singles and couples, while families tend to choose its larger apartments. Canal walks, cycling tracks, Burj Park, Bay Avenue Park and boat rides offer room to unwind beyond the towers.

Everyday errands rarely need a car. Choithrams, Spinneys, Carrefour Market and West Zone sit within or beside the tower clusters, while DIFC adds dining and events nearby. Clinics and pharmacies operate within the district, and Mediclinic City Hospital is 9 minutes away by car. Families can reach JESS Al Safa, Safa British School and GEMS Wellington Primary School within 4–8 minutes. Dubai International Airport is an 11 min drive, while the Metro, Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road and Al Khail Road connect the wider city.

icon

Interior

Design here starts from how residents actually live rather than from a facade drawing. Ellington's interiors favour calm, contemporary restraint: soft neutral palettes, uninterrupted sightlines through the living areas, glazing that pulls canal light deep into the plan. Rooms are drawn generously by Business Bay standards, so they breathe instead of crowding each other. Balconies extend the living space outward, one or two per home depending on the layout, while a separate laundry room and powder room keep the service functions out of sight. Evenings lean warm and low-lit, with water reflecting back into the rooms.

Craftsmanship is the developer's stated differentiator, and the specification bears it out: premium materials, considered joinery, fittings chosen for longevity rather than showroom effect. Kitchens are treated as designed rooms, with integrated cabinetry and clean worktop runs. The penthouses take this furthest, splitting show and preparation kitchens so entertaining and cooking stay separate, and they add a staff room alongside outdoor lounges. Bathrooms follow the same logic of tactile surfaces and quiet detailing. Home automation comes fitted as standard in every apartment, so lighting and climate answer to a single interface.

icon

Infrastructure

Daily essentials are close at hand in the neighbouring tower clusters, where supermarkets cover both weekly shopping and quick evening errands. Cafes and restaurants line the podiums and canal frontage along Marasi Drive, putting breakfast, coffee and waterside dining within walking distance. The canal promenade links these clusters and offers a pleasant route towards Bay Avenue Park and Burj Park, while DIFC broadens the choice of restaurants and lounges nearby.

Larger retail and leisure destinations are a short trip away. Business Bay Marina is 4 minutes by car, while Dubai Mall is 4 minutes away or about a 20-minute walk. Meydan Golf Course is an 8 min drive. In-district clinics handle routine care, and Mediclinic City Hospital is 9 minutes away. Business Bay Metro Station is 6 min by car, Dubai International Airport is 11 minutes away, and RTA water taxi and ferry services run along the canal.

ROI 7%

The Crestmark commands a premium through its canal and marina frontage, standard home automation and dedicated amenity floor. Concierge, valet parking and co-working facilities suit corporate tenants seeking easy access to DIFC and Downtown Dubai. Connectivity supports that demand: Business Bay Metro Station is 6 minutes away by car, while Dubai International Airport is 11 minutes away. Canal water taxi links add another transport option. With only 189 homes, resale competition within the building remains limited. As a ready project without a confirmed post-handover plan, purchases follow standard cash or mortgage terms.

Current asking prices start at AED 1,520,000 for a studio, AED 2,350,000 for a 1 bedroom apartment and AED 3,099,999 for a 2 bedroom apartment. Business Bay is a designated freehold zone, so foreign nationals and non-residents can own property outright. The standard 4% DLD transfer fee applies at registration.

icon

For Rent

The tower has no verified rental listings yet, so comparable Business Bay stock provides the clearest guide. District asking rents start near AED 95,000 a year for an inland-facing 1 bedroom apartment. Canal-view or high-floor units reach AED 115,000–130,000, while 2 bedroom homes on the Marasi Drive corridor can exceed AED 220,000. A cautious gross-yield benchmark is about 5.5%. Studios and 1 bedroom units generally offer the strongest cash flow relative to entry price. Owners should also allow for district cooling and an anticipated service charge of AED 18 per sq ft.

icon

For Living

The low residence count gives owner-occupiers generous access to the resort floor, wellness suite, residents' club and children's town. Homes include balconies, a laundry room and a powder room, with premium finishes and standard home automation adding everyday comfort. Business Bay also supports a car-light routine. Supermarkets sit beside the tower clusters, canal walks and Bay Avenue Park offer evening space, and clinics are available within the district. Schools such as Safa British School are a short drive away, while Downtown Dubai is about a 20-minute walk.

icon

For Resale

Resale prospects benefit from limited supply within one of Dubai's deepest apartment markets. Business Bay recorded 6,601 transactions worth AED 22.5 billion in H1 2025. A further 2,659 sales worth AED 11.1 billion followed from January through April 2026. District asking levels rose about 17.4% year on year by February 2026. With only 189 homes at The Crestmark, sellers face relatively little competition at the same address and can offer buyers a ready canal-front home with established amenities.

UAE Golden Visa

Residence Visa

When purchasing a property from AED 2M (USD 545K), you can apply for a 10-year Golden Visa. This visa is renewed as long as you maintain ownership of the property.

Visa for Your Family

Your family members, including your spouse and children, can also get a Golden Visa. Once you receive a residence visa, you can continue your studies in the UAE, enjoy tax benefits, and conduct business in the country.

FAQ

Below are the questions buyers, tenants and investors ask most often about The Crestmark: pricing, layouts, amenities and the district itself. If something you need is missing, our advisers can walk you through the available units and the numbers behind them.

Ask a Question

Where exactly is The Crestmark located?

The tower occupies a plot on Marasi Drive, on the bank of the Dubai Water Canal in Business Bay, with Business Bay Marina directly in front. Downtown Dubai is close enough to walk, at around 20 minutes to Dubai Mall, The Dubai Fountain and Dubai Opera. Business Bay Metro Station is a 6 min drive, and Dubai International Airport is 11 minutes away by car. Sheikh Zayed Road runs along the district's front edge, while Al Khail Road and Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road handle longer cross-city trips.

How much does an apartment in The Crestmark cost?

Current asking prices in the building start at AED 1,520,000 for a studio, AED 2,350,000 for a 1 bedroom apartment and AED 3,099,999 for a 2 bedroom apartment. Across twenty listings with matching price and size data, the tower's average asking level works out at AED 3,071 per sq ft, above the Business Bay asking mean of AED 2,506 per sq ft. Three bedroom homes and the penthouses are priced case by case, since no current listing price is published for those tiers.

Who is the developer behind the project?

Ellington Properties is a design-led boutique developer founded in Dubai in 2014 by Robert D. Booth, previously Managing Director of Emaar Properties. The company is headquartered in Business Bay and registered with the Dubai Land Department as Developer No. 1117. Its portfolio spans Palm Jumeirah, Downtown Dubai, Mohammed Bin Rashid City, JLT, JVC, Emirates Hills and Dubai Islands, with DT1 and Ellington Beach House among its best-known projects. The Crestmark is its second Business Bay address after The Quayside.

What unit types and sizes are available?

The mix covers studios, one, two and three bedroom apartments plus three penthouses with three or four bedrooms. Apartment floor areas run from 493 sq ft up to 3,080 sq ft, and the penthouse plans stretch from 2,742 sq ft to 6,104 sq ft. On the current market, studios are listed from 496 sq ft, 1 bedroom homes from 747 sq ft and 2 bedroom homes from 1,057 sq ft. Layouts include one or two balconies, a laundry room and a powder room, and home automation is fitted as standard.

What amenities do residents of the tower get?

Facilities are grouped by level. The ground floor contains the concierge desk, lounge, negotiation space, library and Kidtropolis children's town. A dedicated resort floor above the podium holds the infinity pool with baja shelves, cabanas and sun loungers. It also includes a kids' pool, outdoor garden, barbecue area, arcade and club rooms, plus a residents-only club with its own restaurant and bar. Wellness facilities include a gym, studio, tread wall, sauna, steam room and indoor and outdoor yoga areas.

What views can buyers expect from the apartments?

The plot faces the Dubai Water Canal and Business Bay Marina, so lower and mid-level homes look straight onto the water and the promenade, while upper floors take in the Downtown Dubai skyline beyond the canal bend. With eighteen residential floors above three podium levels, sightlines open up quickly as you rise through the building. The three penthouses at the top hold the best of it, pairing the outlook with private outdoor lounges and either an infinity plunge pool or an outdoor jet whirlpool.

Is The Crestmark a good investment?

The investment case rests on limited supply and a canal-front position. Only 189 homes exist in the building, while Business Bay remains one of Dubai's deepest apartment markets. It recorded 6,601 deals worth AED 22.5 billion in H1 2025, followed by 2,659 sales worth AED 11.1 billion in the first four months of 2026. A cautious district gross-yield benchmark is about 5.5%, with studios and 1 bedroom units generally producing the strongest cash flow relative to entry capital.

Can foreigners buy in the building, and what fees apply?

Business Bay is a designated freehold zone, so non-residents and foreign nationals may take full ownership title without a local partner. Residential purchases in Dubai carry no VAT, unlike commercial deals; the standard 4% Dubai Land Department transfer fee applies on registration. Ongoing owner costs include the anticipated service charge of AED 18 per sq ft, and households in the district typically budget a further AED 5,000–12,000 a year for district cooling. Parking comes with one or two reserved covered spaces depending on the apartment type.

What are schools and healthcare like nearby?

No schools sit inside the district boundary, so families drive out a short distance. JESS Al Safa is 4 minutes away, Safa British School 7 minutes and GEMS Wellington Primary School 8 minutes. Healthcare is more local, with clinics and pharmacies operating within Business Bay. Mediclinic City Hospital is a 9-minute drive, while Emirates Hospital Clinic and Aster Clinic can be reached in 5 and 8 minutes respectively.

What is daily life in Business Bay like for residents?

The district runs on a fast, cosmopolitan rhythm, populated largely by expatriate professionals working in or near the towers, with couples and some family households in the larger apartments. Groceries come from Choithrams, Spinneys, Carrefour Market and West Zone within or beside the tower clusters, so a car is optional for errands. Evenings tend towards the canal promenade, cycling tracks, Burj Park and Bay Avenue Park, boat rides on the water, or the dining and lounge scene in neighbouring DIFC and Downtown Dubai.
