About The Crestmark

Business Bay Off Plan Apartments

The Crestmark is a single 18-storey residential tower on the Dubai Water Canal in Business Bay, developed by Ellington Properties. The building configuration is ground plus three podium levels plus 18 residential floors, holding 191 units across studios, 1, 2 and 3-bedroom apartments and a run of 3 to 4-bedroom penthouses. Anticipated completion is Q1 2026, and the project sits at 24.62% construction progress according to Dubai Land Department records.

As one of the more design-led off plan business bay launches, the tower is positioned as a waterside address rather than a generic mid-rise. Direct access to the canal boardwalk from the ground floor lobby level ties the building physically into the water's edge rather than treating it as a backdrop.

Apartments in Business Bay Unit Mix

The unit mix runs from 15 studios sized 493 to 538 sq ft, through 62 one-bedroom units at 747 to 1,074 sq ft, 83 two-bedroom units at 1,046 to 1,584 sq ft, and 26 three-bedroom units at 1,593 to 3,080 sq ft. Three penthouses spanning 3 to 4 bedrooms top out at 2,742 to 6,104 sq ft. Studio, 1 and 2-bedroom units carry one parking space each, while 3-bedroom units and penthouses carry two.

Pricing starts from AED 1,426,828 for a studio, AED 2,100,828 for a one-bedroom, AED 2,831,828 for a two-bedroom, and AED 4,230,828 for a three-bedroom, positioning the project within the mid-to-upper tier of business bay apartments currently on the market.

Amenities and Building Design

Podium-level amenities include a leisure and lounge pool, an infinity pool with a Baja shelf, a separate kids pool, cabanas, and a courtyard with a kinetic garden. Indoor recreation includes a mini bowling alley, arcade room, TV game room and a secret club room with its own bar, kitchenette and terrace. A fitness studio and treadwall sit alongside separate male and female change, steam and sauna facilities.

Ground-floor design features a lobby lounge with a library area, a dedicated Kidtropolis World play zone for children, a hub desk, and bicycle parking with a wash area. The building runs four passenger elevators and one service elevator, and the anticipated service charge is AED 18 per sq ft.

Business Bay Property Investment Case

Business Bay's draw for buyers comes from its position between Downtown Dubai and Dubai Water Canal, giving direct canal frontage without Downtown pricing. For anyone assessing business bay property investment, the location shortens commute times to DIFC, Downtown and Dubai International Airport while offering waterside living that few other central districts can match.

The staggered payment plan, 20% at booking, 40% split across four construction-linked and time-based instalments before completion, and 30% on completion with a final 5% after handover, reduces upfront cash commitment relative to fully front-loaded plans common elsewhere in the market.

Location

Connectivity from The Crestmark

The Crestmark is 5 minutes from Business Bay Metro Station and Business Bay Marina, 8 minutes from Dubai Mall, Burj Khalifa and Dubai Opera, and 9 minutes from Dubai Design District and the Museum of the Future. DIFC is roughly 4 minutes away and Meydan Golf Course around 12 minutes.

Further out, Dubai International Airport is about 14 minutes by car, Mall of the Emirates around 15 minutes, and Palm Jumeirah approximately 20 minutes, keeping the tower within a half-hour radius of most of Dubai's key commercial and leisure hubs.

Neighbourhood Character

Business Bay has evolved from a pure commercial district into a mixed residential and business hub anchored by the Dubai Water Canal, home to waterfront promenades, F&B strips and a growing stock of apartments in business bay aimed at both end-users and investors. Its position adjacent to Downtown Dubai, combined with direct canal access, is what the district is best known for among buyers scanning properties for sale in business bay.
