2BR | 17 Icon Bay Tower, Creek Harbour | High Floor Sea View | AED 2.65M

Property Overview

2-Bedroom Apartment — 17 Icon Bay Tower, Dubai Creek Harbour | High Floor, Full Sea View | Lowest in Market

This is the most aggressively priced 2-bedroom unit currently available in 17 Icon Bay Tower. High floor — above the 30th — with full, uninterrupted views across the Creek and out to the open sea. The apartment is brand new, never lived in, and comes fully furnished. It is vacant and ready for immediate occupation or rental. The seller is including one year of service charges free — a saving of approximately AED 20,000 that improves your net return from the day you take ownership.

If you have been waiting for the right entry point into Creek Harbour, this is it. You are not buying a floor plan and a handover date two years from now. You are buying a finished apartment in a delivered tower with operating amenities, direct marina access, and a price that undercuts every comparable listing in the building. The seller wants it gone — not in three months, not after testing the market at AED 2.9M. Gone now. And the price reflects that urgency.

Key Deal Metrics

Why This Unit Stands Out

The pricing gap between this unit and every other 2-bedroom for sale in Icon Bay is genuine. Current listings for comparable high-floor 2-bedroom units in the building start at AED 2.7M — and those are unfurnished. This unit at AED 2.65M includes full furniture and one year of free service charges. The combined value of the furniture package (AED 80,000-100,000 to replicate) and the service charge waiver (AED 18,000-22,000) pushes the effective entry price below AED 2.55M when you factor in what you are not paying for.

The high-floor position matters more in Icon Bay than in most towers. The building rises above the Creek Harbour master plan, and at 30+ floors, the view clears every neighbouring structure. On a clear Dubai morning, you see the Creek channel curving toward Ras Al Khor, the Dubai skyline silhouetted to the west, and the open Gulf stretching east. This view category — full Creek and sea — is what buyers pay a premium for in Creek Harbour, and it is included at a price that undercuts lower-floor units in the same building.

The brand-new, fully-furnished condition eliminates two of the biggest friction points in any property purchase: renovation and furnishing. You close the transfer and receive keys to an apartment that is ready — beds made, sofa in place, cutlery in the drawers. For an investor, this means same-month rental readiness. For an end-user, it means moving in with a suitcase.

Dubai Creek Harbour — The Community

Dubai Creek Harbour is Emaar’s 6-square-kilometre master-planned waterfront community, positioned along the historic Dubai Creek just south of the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary. It is not a secondary community — it is the second-largest Emaar master plan after Downtown Dubai, and it carries the same ambition: a self-contained urban district with residential towers, a retail and entertainment district (Creek Marina), the Creek Tower observation deck (future), and direct integration with the Ras Al Khor protected wetlands.

Creek Harbour has a different feel from Dubai Marina or Downtown. It is less dense, greener, and quieter — the wildlife sanctuary creates a natural buffer that cannot be built on, guaranteeing permanent protected views and open space to the east. The Creek Marina promenade is already operational with a lineup of restaurants and cafes that draw visitors from across Dubai.

Key Connectivity:

• Downtown Dubai / Burj Khalifa — 10 minutes
• Dubai International Airport (DXB) — 10 minutes via Ras Al Khor Road
• DIFC — 12 minutes
• Dubai Festival City — 5 minutes
• Business Bay — 12 minutes
• Dubai Marina — 22 minutes

The proximity to DXB Airport — 10 minutes door-to-door — is a significant advantage for frequent travellers, airline crew, and professionals whose work involves regular international travel. Few communities in Dubai offer this combination of waterfront living and airport proximity.

17 Icon Bay Tower — Building Profile

Icon Bay is one of Creek Harbour’s most architecturally distinctive residential towers. The building is positioned directly on the Creek waterfront, with a design that prioritises panoramic views from every apartment — no back-facing units, no service-core views, just water and skyline in every direction.

Amenities:

• Infinity Pool: Temperature-controlled, positioned to catch the Creek views — one of the better pool backdrops in the Emaar portfolio
• Gymnasium: Fully equipped with separate male/female facilities and floor-to-ceiling Creek views from the cardio zone
• 24-Hour Concierge: Professional concierge desk in the double-height lobby — handles packages, visitor management, and service requests
• Covered Parking: One dedicated bay per apartment in the basement
• Direct Marina Access: The lobby opens onto the Creek Marina promenade — restaurants, cafes, and waterfront walking paths are literally at the building’s doorstep
• Landscaped Podium: Residents-only landscaped deck with seating areas overlooking the marina
• Security: 24/7 gated entry with CCTV and access control

The building’s location within Creek Harbour is significant — Icon Bay sits on the front row of the waterfront, directly on the marina. This is not a set-back building that peers between other towers to catch a glimpse of water. The view is immediate and uninterrupted, which is why the high-floor units in this building command the strongest resale premiums in the Creek Harbour secondary market.

Investment Analysis

Creek Harbour prices have held firm through 2026, supported by the Emaar brand, limited ready supply (most of the community is still under construction), and genuine end-user demand from professionals who want airport proximity with a waterfront address. The fully-furnished condition and service charge waiver improve the net yield in year one — the year when most new landlords are still recovering from furnishing and setup costs. This unit makes money from month one.

Who Should Buy This

The Frequent Traveller: Ten minutes to DXB Airport. Fully furnished, move-in ready. A 2-bedroom that works as a Dubai base — lock the door, travel for two weeks, come back to a finished home with zero maintenance overhead. The concierge handles packages and visitors while you are away.

The Yield Investor: Buy at AED 2.65M — the lowest entry in the building. Rent immediately at AED 150-170K. The first year’s service charge waiver means you pocket every dirham of rent after Ejari and minor maintenance. When the waiver expires, the net yield still holds above 5% — strong for a premium Emaar waterfront address.

The Couple Upgrading: Currently in a 1-bedroom in Marina or Downtown. Ready for a second bedroom, a view, and a community that does not feel like a construction site. Creek Harbour delivers the Emaar-quality lifestyle at a 20-30% discount to a comparable Downtown apartment — and you get sea views that Downtown cannot offer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this really the lowest priced 2-bedroom in Icon Bay?

Yes. Current comparable listings for 2-bedroom units in 17 Icon Bay Tower start at AED 2.7M — and those are unfurnished. This unit at AED 2.65M includes full furniture and a year of free service charges. The next cheapest 2-bedroom in the building, if it were to hit the market today at this price, would be snapped up within days.

What furniture is included?

Full furniture package: living room (sofa, coffee table, TV unit, side tables), dining area (table and chairs for 4-6), master bedroom (bed, mattress, side tables, wardrobe), second bedroom (bed, mattress, wardrobe), and balcony furniture. Kitchen appliances — fridge, cooker, washing machine — are included as standard Emaar spec. The apartment is genuinely move-in ready.

What are the views like from the 30th floor?

Unobstructed. At 30+ floors, you clear the entire Creek Harbour skyline. The view captures Dubai Creek curving through Ras Al Khor, the Downtown Dubai silhouette to the west, and the Arabian Gulf stretching east. On clear days, the horizon line between sea and sky is uninterrupted. This view category is the most sought-after in Icon Bay, and high-floor units carrying it consistently achieve the strongest resale values in the building.

How does the service charge free year actually work?

The seller will cover the first year of service charges at transfer — approximately AED 18,000-22,000 based on current Creek Harbour rates. This is a contractual obligation written into the MOU, not a verbal promise. After year one, standard RERA-regulated charges apply — currently estimated at AED 16-20 per sqft annually for Creek Harbour delivered towers.

Can I get a mortgage?

Yes. The property is ready with a clean title deed, which qualifies for standard mortgage financing. UAE residents can typically access up to 80% LTV. Non-residents: 50-60% LTV depending on nationality and income. The bank valuation on a high-floor, fully-furnished 2-bedroom in Icon Bay would likely come in at AED 2.8M+, giving you comfortable LTV coverage on the AED 2.65M purchase price.

How quickly can I move in or rent it out?

Immediately after DLD transfer. The property is vacant, brand new, and fully furnished. Ejari registration takes 3-5 working days. DEWA connection is simultaneous with transfer. For a landlord, the first tenant can move in within 2-3 weeks of title deed issuance. For an owner-occupier, you can sleep there the night of transfer.

What is Creek Harbour like to live in?

Quieter than Marina, greener than Downtown, and more established than most new communities because Emaar has delivered the core infrastructure first. The Creek Marina is the social hub — 10+ restaurants and cafes on the water, a regular weekend market, and families walking the promenade in the evenings. The Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary means the eastern views will never be built on — a permanent protected green-water backdrop that no other Dubai community can replicate at this scale.

Does Emaar handle the community management?

Yes. Emaar Community Management oversees Creek Harbour — the same team that manages Downtown Dubai, Dubai Marina, and Arabian Ranches. Service levels are consistent with other Emaar communities. The service charge rates are regulated by RERA and have remained stable since the first Creek Harbour handovers.

Is the price negotiable?

The seller has priced this unit to sell — it is already the lowest in the building. Serious offers with proof of funds and a 14-21 day closing capability will be considered. The seller’s priority is a clean, fast transaction with a committed buyer — not a bidding war.

Contact Distress Property Finder to arrange a viewing, review the title deed, or submit an offer. This is the lowest entry point into Icon Bay — once transferred, no comparable unit will be available at this price.

Why Creek Harbour Over Other Waterfront Communities

Buyers comparing waterfront 2-bedrooms in Dubai typically look at Dubai Marina, Palm Jumeirah, and now Creek Harbour. At the AED 2.5-3.0M price point, Creek Harbour delivers something the others do not: a brand-new Emaar-built apartment with genuine sea views, marina access, and space to breathe.

Dubai Marina at this price gets you a 10-15 year old tower with partial views squeezed between two other buildings. Palm Jumeirah at this price does not exist for a 2-bedroom — you are looking at AED 3.5M+ for anything with a sea view. Creek Harbour gives you the Emaar build quality, the marina-front lifestyle, and a completely fresh apartment for less than either alternative. The 10-minute airport proximity is a bonus that neither Marina nor the Palm can match.

The area is still developing — that is the opportunity. Five years from now, when the Creek Tower is open, the marina is fully tenanted, and the wildlife sanctuary boardwalk is completed, a high-floor 2-bedroom in Icon Bay will not be available at AED 2.65M. You are buying at the inflection point, before the infrastructure premium is fully priced in.
