Emaar Properties has launched a new elegant residential tower in the heart of the Island District of Dubai Creek Harbour, the 6 sq km mega-development only 10 minutes from the Dubai International Airport.

The 43-storey 17 Icon Bay, launched for sale on August 29, stands out for the direct views it offers of Burj Khalifa, the global icon; Dubai Creek Tower and the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary, protected by the Unesco Ramsar Convention and home to over 67 species of water birds.

The serene setting of the 17 Icon Bay homes is complemented by a focus on wellness and living in harmony with nature through family-oriented spaces including walking trails by a dense grove of trees, children’s play areas, a swimming pool, landscaped leisure deck, multi-function room and modern fitness facilities, the company said.

With about 300 apartments featuring one-, two- and three-bedrooms, 17 Icon Bay is strategically located by the tip of the Central Park neighbourhood, and offers effortless access to a wide range of retail, F&B and leisure that are set along a 4.5 km-long Creek Boardwalk. It is also in close proximity to event spaces, galleries, parks, water attractions and a trendy Vida hotel in Dubai Creek Harbour.

Furthermore, 17 Icon Bay is located within walking distance from Dubai Creek Tower, the new icon that will feature the world’s highest observation decks.

Ahmad Al Matrooshi, managing director of Emaar Properties, said: “Dubai Creek Harbour is one of the most sought-after residential destinations in the city, its value underpinned further by the Dubai Creek Tower, the new global icon, and a dedicated retail district. 17 Icon Bay, our newest residential project, offers three distinctive advantages – its central location on the Island District, spectacular views of the Dubai skyline, the iconic Dubai Creek Tower, the historic creek and the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary, and ease of access to a wide range of wellness and leisure amenities. The homes will offer a serene getaway right in the heart of the city.”

17 Icon Bay has an elegant architecture with vertical elements that accentuate the height of the tower. The interior spaces are thoughtfully designed to ensure the utmost comfort of residents and to maximise the views, the company said.

A podium space on the first floor provides communal and active areas interconnected with the residential tower. It includes dedicated zones for a variety of leisure activities that ensure the privacy and comfort of the residents. Ample vegetation is incorporated within the podium landscape to encourage all-day usage of the space, and offer shaded areas.

Customers can visit the Dubai Creek Harbour Sales Pavilion in Ras Al Khor, Emaar Sales Centre at Downtown Dubai, the Dubai Hills Estate Sales Centre on Umm Suqeim Road and the Emaar Sales Centre in Abu Dhabi at the Al Nahda Tower on 4th Street, Corniche, it said. - TradeArabia News Service
