- Owner retained the flexibility to use the property for personal stays without impacting revenue

2BR in Downtown with Burj Khalifa view
The Challenge:
The owner was leasing their 2-bedroom apartment in Downtown Dubai (with a stunning Burj Khalifa view) on a long-term basis for AED 210,000 per year. Although this provides stable income, it limits flexibility and doesn’t fully exploit the property’s view and location value.
Our Solution:
We restructured the property into a premium short-term rental. The apartment was upgraded to hotel-level furnishing, its view features highlighted in the listing, and it was marketed on major platforms (Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo) targeting guests seeking luxury Dubai experiences.
The Results:
- Annual revenue rose to AED 350,000
- Peak occupancy exceeded 95%
- The owner regained flexibility to block personal stays without severely impacting revenue
Maximizing Returns for a 1-Bedroom Apartment in Dubai Marina
The Challenge:
The owner was renting their 1-bedroom apartment in Dubai Marina for AED 70,000 per year on a long-term basis. While this provided consistent income, it significantly undervalued the apartment’s potential given its prime waterfront location and high tourist demand.

We transitioned the unit into a short-term rental, redesigned it for a modern, coastal-luxury appeal, and listed it on Airbnb, Booking.com, and Vrbo to reach global travelers. Our dynamic pricing strategy ensured competitive rates during peak and off-peak seasons.
The Results:
- Annual income doubled to AED 140,000
- 90% occupancy yearly achieved during high season
- Owner now enjoys flexibility for personal use without compromising profit

We converted the apartment into a short-term rental, fully furnished it with a modern, homely design, and launched listings on Airbnb, Booking.com, and Vrbo. Our team optimized the visuals, descriptions, and pricing to target both business and leisure travelers.
