Property in Marquise Square

Marquise Square, often searched as Marquise Square Tower, is a 29-storey residential tower on Burj Khalifa Street in Business Bay, Dubai. It was developed by SRG and launched in September 2016 with 384 apartments, most of them studios, plus one, two and three bedroom homes. Its diamond-shaped design faces the Burj Khalifa on one side and the Dubai Water Canal on the other.

Marquise Square at a glance

The 2016 launch reports put completion in the fourth quarter of 2018. Handover followed in 2019. If an exact date matters to you, the Dubai Land Department can confirm the completion record for a unit.

Where is Marquise Square?

The tower sits on Burj Khalifa Street, the road that runs from Downtown Dubai across Business Bay to the Dubai Water Canal. That is why some people describe it as a Downtown address and others as Business Bay. On the ground it is part of Business Bay, a short drive from the Burj Khalifa, The Dubai Mall and Dubai Opera, with Al Khail Road and Sheikh Zayed Road both close by. The nearest metro is Business Bay station on the Red Line. Read our Business Bay property guide for how the area works as a place to live and invest.

Apartment types and the unit mix

Marquise Square was designed around studios. At launch the developer released this mix:

So most of what you will see for rent or sale here is a studio. One bedroom homes are less common, and three bedroom apartments are rare, with only 18 in the whole tower. Views split two ways: units face either the Burj Khalifa or the Dubai Water Canal, and the view and floor make a big difference to how a unit lets and sells. Ask for the floor plan of the exact unit, because layouts differ by stack.

Amenities

• A large swimming pool on the podium level

Living in Marquise Square

Life here is urban. You are close to Business Bay's offices and the canal promenade, and a short drive from Downtown's restaurants, the Dubai Mall and the Burj Khalifa. Supermarkets, cafes and gyms are spread along the Business Bay streets around the tower. Families should note that the tower is mostly studios, so it suits singles and couples more than larger households. Schools are a drive away rather than a walk.

Renting in Marquise Square

Tenants choose Marquise Square for a newer building on a central road, with a pool and gym, at a studio or one bedroom size. Rents depend on the view, the floor and whether the unit is furnished, so we do not quote an average. Browse apartments for rent in Business Bay, including studios and 1-bedroom homes. If you want this tower in particular, tell us your budget and we will watch for units.

Buying in Marquise Square

Buyers look here for a ready, freehold studio in a building completed in 2019, which is young for Business Bay. Because studios dominate the tower, resale and rental competition between similar units is high, so the view, floor 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 apartments for sale in Business Bay and the Business Bay community page.

Who it suits

It suits young professionals who work in Business Bay, Downtown or DIFC, investors who want a studio in a recent tower, and anyone who wants a Burj Khalifa or canal view without Downtown's larger price tags. It is less suited to families who need three bedrooms, since there are very few.

Pros and cons

• Pros: completed in 2019, freehold, central position on Burj Khalifa Street, views of the Burj Khalifa or the canal, pool, gym, sauna and steam rooms, shops on the ground floor.
• Cons: mostly studios, so little choice of larger homes; many similar units compete for tenants and buyers; Business Bay traffic is heavy at peak hours.
