The building holds 252 apartments in total.
The database currently holds 1 lot in this project, from 2 393 000 AED.
A 36-storey tower in Business Bay with 252 residences, under construction. Five confirmed amenities — a lot for the district.
West Bay Tower is a residential skyscraper in Business Bay by Orion Real Estate Development, engineered by National Engineering Bureau. 36 storeys, 252 residences, under construction. Confirmed amenities: pool, spa, parking, 24/7 security and a barbecue area.
252 apartments over 36 storeys works out to around seven units per floor. That's a large unit mix for Business Bay: spacious layouts, few neighbours per floor.
The arithmetic here is moderate: amenities are split among two and a half hundred owners. That's more expensive than in a thousand-apartment building, but noticeably cheaper than in an intimate fifty-unit project.
Our one lot in the building costs AED 2.39 million (~$650K) at a price per square foot around AED 1,986 (~$540/ft²) — half the district average of AED 4,900 and below the district's median lot price of AED 3.5 million.
The combination of a large unit mix and a cheap price per square foot means the same money buys more space here than in the district's compact premium towers.
Orion Real Estate Development is a little-known company, and that needs weighing separately from the merits of the location. Everyone builds in Business Bay, from Damac and Ellington to small developers, and the spread in delivery timelines here is among the widest in the city.
The practical takeaway: look at the specific construction site, not the district — physical progress, project registration, the escrow account (funds held by a regulator-approved trustee until construction milestones are met), the developer's track record on past projects.

What has been written about the building, its developer and Business Bay
The developer of a Business Bay tower. Off-plan purchase agreements are signed almost unread, yet eight of their provisions decide nearly everything — here they are.
Business Bay recorded 14 prime transactions in August 2026 against Palm Jumeirah's 10 — while Dubai-wide transaction volume fell 37% year-on-year and value fell 44%. Rental search demand rose 44% over the same period. What these seemingly contradictory numbers actually mean.
Corinthia Dubai, twin towers above 500 m on Sheikh Zayed Road with a rooftop pool and a Corinthia hotel, is due by 2030. Al Habtoor Group has announced an AED 5bn ($1.36bn) office tower in Al Habtoor City. What the two projects say about the market and who should care.
Omniyat bought a reclaimed island in Marasi Bay to build the Burj Khalifa district's only urban beach club and Sunset Park, a private floating island for VELA Viento residents. In March 2026 it priced a $600m sukuk at 7.25% and said its $11.7bn launched portfolio is fully funded to completion.
Deyaar is building DWTN (Downtown) Residences in Business Bay: twin 445 m, 111-storey towers with 522 homes — 432 apartments, 76 duplexes, 13 penthouses and a “Royal Palace”. From AED 1.86m with half due at keys. Construction began in January 2026; completion is quoted for 2029–2030.
In October 2024 Binghatti said it would lift its portfolio from about AED 40bn to AED 100bn ($27.2bn) in 18 months. In 2025 revenue reached AED 12.43bn, more than 17 000 units were sold, and the AED 30bn Binghatti City launched in Nad Al Sheba. What the growth means for buyers.
Downtown is Dubai's tourist and status core, around AED 2 433/sqft on our own data. Business Bay is the business district next door, home to 17 000+ companies, around AED 1 871/sqft. We compare lifestyle, rental economics and who should pick which.
SOM designed Burj Khalifa and a 74-metre metro station in Creek Harbour that will be the tallest in the world. Zaha Hadid Architects built The Opus and is now building Oystra in Ras Al Khaimah. What separates a real premium from a marketing line.
Three major office schemes are rising around DIFC and Business Bay: Immersive Tower ($300m, 58 573 sq m, 2027), Aldar's 88 000 sq m tower by Emirates Towers metro (Q4 2027), and an office park with a theatre on Business Bay's largest plot. Vacancy in central clusters sits at 2–5%.
I will send the available layouts, the real entry price and what owners and tenants actually say about the building — without the brochure language.
