Aykon City Tower B

A serviced apartment tower stacking eleven podium levels before the first homes begin

The structure of Aykon City Tower B comes down to plain numbers: two basement levels, a ground floor, eleven podium levels, then sixty three residential floors on top. DAMAC Properties handed the tower over in 2023 on Sheikh Zayed Road, the artery linking Business Bay to the Burj area and the Dubai Canal. The scheme sits within a wider development, Aykon City, which groups several towers including Tower C, built around conventional residences. Tower B, for its part, is built around serviced apartments, a format where concierge and hotel style services are built into the building itself. Unit types run from studios to three bedroom layouts, with a handful of duplexes. The address is freehold, meaning it is open to full ownership for foreign buyers.

Dining concentrated on level 11

The podium is not just a technical base. DAMAC has placed the tower's social hub here, with eleven floors carrying the shared and commercial spaces. Level 11 is where the dining offering sits: cafes and restaurants residents can reach without leaving the building. It's a practical call for a tower this tall, where a trip down to street level takes time. The kids club sits just one floor below the meeting rooms, a layout aimed at families who also work on site. The top of the podium holds the pool and terraced gardens, open to the skyline.

Studios and duplexes on Sheikh Zayed Road

Tower B's unit mix spans a wide range. Studios target young professionals and investors chasing short term or furnished rental income. One, two and three bedroom apartments are aimed at couples and expat families. Duplexes, in shorter supply, add an upper tier within the same tower. Interiors lean on floor to ceiling windows, a light palette and open views, which visually lifts some of the more compact layouts. The exterior facade uses curved lines and contrasting vertical elements, a silhouette that stands apart from the straight edged towers nearby in Business Bay.

Spa, panoramic gym and coworking spaces

The amenities follow the serviced apartment logic. The spa offers a range of treatments, and the gym looks out over city views from the podium. On top of that there's a coworking area, meeting rooms, a lobby with dedicated reception and a bespoke concierge service. Security runs 24 hours a day with CCTV coverage. On the family side, there's a kids' pool, a play area and a kids club. Pets are allowed, which remains a real differentiator in Dubai. The whole setup is built for self sufficiency: a resident can work, eat, exercise and have their children looked after without ever leaving the tower.

Nine minutes from Dubai Mall, thirteen from the airport

The Sheikh Zayed Road location puts the tower within short reach of the city's main landmarks. Dubai Mall and Burj Khalifa are listed at nine minutes away, as is Jumeirah Beach. Mall of the Emirates is ten minutes out, Dubai International Airport thirteen, and Burj Al Arab fourteen. Palm Jumeirah and Dubai Yacht Harbour sit around sixteen minutes away. Business Bay metro station serves the area, and Dubai World Trade Centre is eight minutes off. An international school is ten minutes away, a point worth noting for families. This central position explains the serviced apartment strategy: the tower draws both long term residents and a flow of tenants on business stays.

DAMAC, an operator well versed in Business Bay

DAMAC Properties has operated in the Middle Eastern property market since 2002 and claims close to 35,000 homes delivered. The developer has a particularly dense footprint in Business Bay, where it counts around twenty projects, from DAMAC Prive to Merano Tower to Paramount Tower Hotel & Residences. That concentration gives it a close read on the area and its rental demand. Aykon City fits that pattern, with a serviced apartment format that rounds out the conventional residences already in the portfolio. For a buyer, the tower combines an address that's already built (so no construction risk) with an operator experienced in running this type of product.
