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.

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.

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.
