Property in Clayton Residency

Clayton Residency is a completed residential tower by Deyaar in Business Bay, Dubai. It has 164 apartments, mainly one and two bedroom homes, with 19 residential floors above a ground floor, three podium levels and a basement. Deyaar handed it over in April 2011, and the developer's brochure promises lake views from most apartments.

Clayton Residency at a glance

Listings often disagree on the floor count, saying 19, 22 or 23 floors. They are all describing the same building. Deyaar calls it a 19-floor tower, counting only the residential floors, and its brochure shows those 19 floors sitting on a ground floor, three podium levels and a basement. The brochure also notes that the floor number 13 is not used.

Where is Clayton Residency?

The tower is in Business Bay, the district along Sheikh Zayed Road between the first and second interchanges, built around an extension of Dubai Creek. Deyaar's brochure describes most apartments as looking over the water, which locals call the lake or the canal. From Business Bay, Downtown Dubai, The Dubai Mall and DIFC are a short drive, and Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Khail Road are close. Business Bay station on the Red Line serves the district.

Apartment types and floor plans

Deyaar's brochure shows ten one bedroom layouts per floor on the typical residential floors, labelled Type A to Type J. Total sizes, including the balcony, run from about 785 to 865 sq ft:

Every one bedroom has a balcony of about 44 to 72 sq ft. Two bedroom apartments are also in the building, and Deyaar says some homes include an open terrace, a study or a maid's room. Only some types face the lake (B, C, D and J), so decide early whether the view matters to you. Ask for the floor plan of the exact unit before you decide.

Amenities

• A swimming pool
• A gym
• Steam room, sauna and jacuzzi
• CCTV and access control, with 24-hour security
• District cooling
• Fire alarm and firefighting systems

This is Deyaar's list. Check what a unit includes, such as a parking bay, before you sign.

Living in Clayton Residency

Life here is typical of Business Bay: offices, cafes and supermarkets close by, the canal for walks, and Downtown Dubai a short drive away. It is a mid-rise tower, so it feels calmer than the big mixed-use towers. District cooling is worth noting, because cooling is billed differently from buildings with their own chillers. Ask how cooling is charged before you sign.

Renting in Clayton Residency

Tenants choose Clayton Residency for a well-sized one bedroom in a central district, often with a lake view. Rents depend on the view, floor and furnishing, so we do not quote an average. Browse apartments for rent in Business Bay, including 1-bedroom homes.

Buying in Clayton Residency

Buyers look here for a ready, freehold one bedroom from a listed developer, in a building that has been occupied since 2011. Because many units share very similar layouts, the view and condition decide value. Check the approved service charge before you offer. Our guides to the Dubai service charge index and how to check service charges before you buy show where to find the official figure. We do not quote one because we could not source a dated official number. See 1-bedroom apartments for sale in Business Bay, the Business Bay community page and our Deyaar developer page.

Who it suits

It suits singles and couples who work in Business Bay, Downtown or DIFC, and investors who want a ready one bedroom with a lake view in an established building. It is less suited to larger families, since most homes are one bedroom.

Pros and cons

• Pros: ready since 2011, freehold, built by Deyaar, lake views from most units, generous one bedroom sizes, pool, gym, sauna, steam room and jacuzzi.
• Cons: an older building, so unit condition varies; mostly one bedroom homes; road-facing units have less appeal; Business Bay traffic is heavy at peak hours.
