Regalia Tower Business Bay Dubai

Regalia by Deyaar is a 70-storey tower of 913 units in Business Bay: studios, 1 to 3 BHK apartments, duplexes, penthouses and retail. It is finished. Construction ran from August 2021 to April 2026, about two years past the original 2024 estimate, and Deyaar has handed over. The source listing shows it from AED 627,000, about Rs 1.61 crore at Rs 25.75 per dirham, which is the launch studio price from 2021.

That number is not what a studio costs now. DLD transaction data on Bayut shows studios selling at an average of about AED 843,478 and asking around AED 996,800; 1 BHKs sell near AED 1.33 million. Even so, the transaction rate of about AED 1,800 per sq ft is well under the Business Bay average, and that is the real story of this page: a finished tower from a listed developer, priced below its district, if you buy from the DLD data rather than the asking price.

At a glance

Price and unit pricing

Three studio prices, and they tell a clear story: AED 627,000 was launch, AED 843,000 is what buyers have paid since handover, and AED 997,000 is what sellers hope for. The DLD average of about AED 1,800 per sq ft against a Business Bay average of AED 2,300 to 2,770 is the reason to look at this tower at all. Negotiate from the sold data; the gap between asking and sold is about 18%, which is your room.

If Business Bay itself is above budget, the creek districts beside it are cheaper for much the same commute. In Al Jaddaf, Al Waleed Garden is a completed 16-floor building near the Green Line metro with asks from AED 675,000, and Al Waleed Garden 2 from AED 725,000. At the branded end of the same district, Ramada Residences by Wyndham starts at AED 1.85 M. Across the water in Sobha Hartland, Sobha Creek Vistas starts at about AED 1.32 M.

Payment and total cost

The launch plan was 48/52: 10% booking, 38% during construction, 12% on handover and 40% over 40 months after handover. If Deyaar still holds unsold units, that tail may be on offer and is worth asking for. A resale is cash or a UAE mortgage at 50 to 60% of value.

At the AED 627,000 launch price the same sums come to about AED 669,000, but that price is not available. Business Bay service charges run AED 15 to 22 per sq ft; on a 440 sq ft studio that is about AED 6,600 to 9,700 a year. Ask for the first year's statement, which exists now that the tower is occupied.

Location and connectivity

Business Bay is the high-rise district south of Downtown, wrapped by the Dubai Canal, with the Business Bay metro station on Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Khail Road on the far side. Regalia is an inland tower; upper floors have Downtown and canal views.

• Dubai Canal: a short walk
• Burj Khalifa, Dubai Mall, DIFC: about 10 minutes each
• Business Bay metro: the district's Red Line stop
• Dubai International Airport: about 20 minutes

What it is like: dense, busy, mostly rented, with strong demand from professionals working in Downtown and DIFC and thousands of units still under construction across the district.

Amenities and specifications

Regalia was delivered with fitted kitchens and Deyaar's standard finish, a pool, a gym, a landscaped podium and ground-floor retail. Furnishing varies by seller. Because the tower is new, ask the seller for the snagging sign-off and inspect the unit; a 913-unit handover always leaves some units with unfinished snags.

About the developer

Deyaar Development is listed on the Dubai Financial Market, with more than two decades of operations, over 30 completed projects, more than 23 million sq ft delivered and over 20,000 units under management. Regalia's 913 units were the largest part of its latest 1,436-unit handover cycle, alongside the 362-unit Jannat in Dubai Production City. Its 2025 accounts showed revenue of AED 1.97 billion and profit before tax of AED 637.9 million. Completion is reliable; timing is not, and the two-year slip here is the thing to remember if you look at Deyaar's next tower.

For overseas buyers

Any nationality. Dubai's designated freehold areas are open to buyers of every nationality, resident or not: no local partner, no residence visa needed in order to buy, and the Land Department issues the title deed in your own name. On the AED 627,000 entry price the 4% Dubai Land Department transfer fee is about AED 25,080 (USD 6,800), and registration, trustee and agency charges take the all-in cost to roughly 6% to 7% over the price. UAE banks lend non-residents about 50% to 60% of the price, which is why the developer payment plan above carries most overseas purchases. The paragraphs below work the numbers for an Indian buyer, the largest single group buying in Dubai, but the ownership, visa and yield rules are the same whatever passport you hold.

Ownership. Business Bay is freehold. On a resale the DLD transfers the title deed to you at the appointment.

Remitting. At the DLD average the studio all in is about AED 898,000, roughly USD 245,000, just inside the USD 250,000 per person per financial year LRS limit. At the asking price it would need two remitters or two years. Tax collected at source applies above the annual threshold and is creditable in your Indian return.

Golden Visa. Studios and 1 BHKs do not reach AED 2 million; a large 2 BHK, a duplex or a penthouse would.

Yield and tax. Business Bay studios return 7 to 9.5% gross on 2026 guides. At AED 843,000 a studio needs about AED 60,000 a year in rent for 7%, which is realistic in a new 70-storey tower; net 4.5 to 5.5% after service charges. No UAE tax; in India the rent is income from house property with the 30% deduction, and the asset goes in Schedule FA.

Exit. 913 units means constant supply for sale, which keeps prices honest and makes a fair-price exit easy and a premium exit hard. The buyer's 4% and your 2% come off the top.

Pros

• Finished and occupied: no construction risk
• About AED 1,800 per sq ft on DLD data, under the district
• 7% yield needs only AED 60,000 rent at the sold average
• Listed developer with audited accounts
• Always stock to negotiate on

Cons

• AED 627,000 is history; studios sell near AED 843,000
• Two years late
• 913 competing units
• Service charge unpublished
• No Golden Visa from a studio or 1 BHK

Who this is for

• Yield investors who want a finished Business Bay studio under the district rate
• Buyers who prefer a mortgage-able ready unit to an off-plan wait
• Anyone who negotiates from transaction data

Who should look elsewhere

• Buyers who want the same developer's next tower with a 50/50 plan; see DWTN Residences
• Anyone who needs a Golden Visa from one small unit; compare a 1 BHK at Binghatti Aquarise
• Families who want space and quiet

Our verdict

A finished tower priced below its district, if you buy from the DLD and not the listing. Studios near AED 843,000 (about Rs 2.17 crore) at about AED 1,800 per sq ft in a new Deyaar tower are a sound yield buy; the AED 627,000 launch price is a reference, not an offer. Check the deed, the service charge and the snagging sign-off. See all Dubai projects we track and our full project list.

FAQs

What is the price of Regalia by Deyaar?

The source listing shows it from AED 627,000, about Rs 1.61 crore at Rs 25.75 per dirham, which was the launch studio price. Today studios sell at an average of about AED 843,478 on DLD data and ask around AED 996,800; 1 BHKs sell around AED 1.33 million and ask about AED 1.5 million. The DLD average rate is about AED 1,800 per sq ft.

Is Regalia complete?

Yes. Construction ran from August 2021 to April 2026 and Deyaar has handed over. The original estimate was 2024, so it arrived about two years late. Purchases today are resales or remaining developer stock.

What was the payment plan?

48/52 at launch: 10% booking, 38% during construction, 12% on handover and 40% over 40 months after handover. Developer stock may still carry that tail; a resale is cash or mortgage plus the 4% DLD fee and about AED 4,600 in fees.

What rental yield does it give?

Business Bay studios return 7 to 9.5% gross on 2026 guides. At the DLD average of about AED 843,000 a studio needs about AED 60,000 a year in rent for 7%, which is realistic for a new 70-storey tower; net 4.5 to 5.5% after service charges.

Does a purchase qualify for the Golden Visa?

Not a studio or 1 BHK. A large 2 BHK, a duplex or a penthouse would cross the AED 2 million threshold; ask for the price list.

Who is the developer?

Deyaar Development, listed on the Dubai Financial Market, with over 30 completed projects and 20,000 managed units. Regalia was the largest part of its latest 1,436-unit handover cycle.

Can a foreign national buy in Regalia?

Yes. Business Bay is freehold and the DLD transfers the title deed into your name. At the DLD average a studio all in is about AED 898,000, roughly USD 245,000, just inside the USD 250,000 per person per financial year LRS (the Reserve Bank of India's Liberalised Remittance Scheme) limit. Buyers of any other nationality can own on the same terms: Dubai's designated freehold areas are open to all nationalities, there is no residency requirement and no local partner, and the Land Department issues the title deed in your own name.

What is the service charge?

Not printed by any source we checked. Business Bay towers run AED 15 to 22 per sq ft a year; on a 440 sq ft studio that is about AED 6,600 to 9,700. Ask the seller for the first statement and the clearance certificate.
