Altitude, Business Bay: Two Bedrooms and Three, with a Duplex Option That Changes the Math
Altitude is a residential tower by Damac Properties in Business Bay, Dubai. The development offers 2-bedroom apartments, 3-bedroom apartments, and 2-bedroom duplexes, with prices running from AED 3,334,000 to AED 5,682,000. Construction started in April 2024. The expected completion is March 2028.
Business Bay: Central, Dense, and Practical
Business Bay is a major mixed-use district in Dubai, sitting immediately south of Downtown Dubai. The Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall are under 10 minutes by car. The Business Bay metro station on the Red Line connects residents to Sheikh Zayed Road and the wider network.
The district runs along the Dubai Canal. Living or investing here puts you within the commercial core of the city, adjacent to the retail and employment centres that anchor central Dubai.
AED 3.33M to 5.68M: A Spread That Makes Sense Once You See the Units
The price gap of over AED 2.3 million from bottom to top is wide but straightforward. Three things drive it: bedroom count, property type, and floor area.
At AED 3,334,000, you are buying a 2-bedroom apartment. Floor areas run between 1,328 and 1,440 square feet across the layout variants. This is the investor or professional-couple entry point.
At AED 5,682,000, the unit is a 3-bedroom apartment at 2,014 square feet. That buyer is looking for family-scale space in a central address, and the price reflects both the extra room and the location.
The duplexes occupy a different position. A 2-bedroom duplex starts from AED 3,403,000 at 3,686 square feet. That is roughly 2.5 times the floor area of a 2-bedroom apartment for a modest price premium. Buyers who prioritise internal volume over bedroom count should look at these units specifically.
Apartments and Duplexes: Three Distinct Buyer Profiles
The project offers two property types across three meaningful configurations.
2-bedroom apartments at 1,328 to 1,440 square feet suit a professional or couple wanting a manageable footprint in a connected district. These are the project's entry-level units and the clearest investment case in the range.
3-bedroom apartments at 2,014 square feet address families or buyers who need a home office or guest room. The step up to AED 5,682,000 reflects both the space and the 3-bedroom premium in this location.
2-bedroom duplexes at 3,686 square feet are the most distinctive option. The layout gives 2-bedroom living across two levels with floor area that outpaces the 3-bedroom apartments in this building. The starting price of AED 3,403,000 makes this a genuine outlier in terms of space per dirham.
What the Building Offers
| Category | Facilities |
|---|---|
| Fitness and Sport | Gymnasium, Tennis Courts, Cycle Track |
| Dining and Social | Restaurants, Cafe and Restaurants |
| Wellness | Shared Spa, Shared Pool |
| Services | Valet Parking, Security |
Nine amenities across fitness, dining, wellness, and building services. The cycle track stands out among the fitness options. Its inclusion points to residents who want active lifestyle facilities within the building rather than depending solely on external parks or paths. Valet parking and a shared spa position this above the bare-minimum service level. This amenity set suits a resident who uses the building regularly rather than treating it purely as a sleep address.
Four Years to Handover, Two Already Done
Construction started in April 2024. With a March 2028 target, the project is roughly at the midpoint of its build timeline as of mid-2026. An off-plan buyer entering now is joining a project with two years of construction already completed. The remaining period to handover is approximately 22 months.
Getting In for 20%
| Phase | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 20% |
| During construction | 55% |
| Handover | 25% |
The 20% down payment is the opening commitment. The construction installments total 55%, spread across the period to March 2028. The remaining 25% is due at handover, which is the largest single payment after the initial deposit. There is no post-handover deferral, so the full purchase price clears at completion.
