The Edge, Business Bay

Select Group's two new towers between Downtown Dubai and the Dubai Canal. Six things hosts should get right before the first guest.

Published by fäm Living. We run Airbnb homes in Business Bay towers and take on owners at The Edge, so read this knowing that. Building facts from Select Group, October 2026.
1

Building approval first

Before listing on Airbnb, the building has to accept holiday home use. Ask The Edge's management office for its position in writing, and whether a no-objection letter is needed.

2

The permit

Every Airbnb let by the night in Dubai needs a holiday home permit from the Department of Economy and Tourism, held by you or a licensed operator.

3

Furnish to the interiors

The Edge's apartments have bold, colourful interiors and many face the Burj Khalifa, the Dubai Canal or the Business Bay skyline. Furnish to match, and put the view in the first photo.

4

Sell the leisure deck

The podium deck has an infinity pool, gyms, padel and pickleball courts, plus a co-working space and games room. Guests staying a week or a month book for exactly that.

5

Stand out in a new tower

The towers were handed over in October 2026, so many units reach Airbnb in the same months. Good photos, a clear description and fast replies decide which ones book first.

6

Arrivals that work

A new tower means new access cards, parking and lobby rules. Give guests clear arrival steps, or have someone meet them in person.

Questions

The Edge: host questions

Can I put my The Edge apartment on Airbnb?

Yes, as a licensed holiday home, once the unit holds a holiday home permit from the Department of Economy and Tourism and the building accepts short stays. A licensed operator can arrange both.

Who books Airbnbs at The Edge, Business Bay?

Holiday visitors who want to be close to Downtown and The Dubai Mall, and professionals working in Business Bay who book for weeks or months. One and two-bedroom homes suit both.

Short stays or a yearly tenant at The Edge?

A yearly tenant is simpler and fixed. Short stays earn by the night or the month and leave the apartment free for your own visits. A new tower has little rent history yet, so ask for a view on your own unit.
