The Quayside at Business Bay is Ellington Properties’ design first address beside the Dubai Water Canal, bringing a calm residential rhythm to the city’s most dynamic urban core. Across a boutique collection of 118 homes, the development offers studios and one to three bedroom apartments, crowned by a bespoke five bedroom penthouse, each crafted with modern fixtures, refined finishes and well resolved layouts. From the first step inside, you see Ellington’s familiar attention to proportion and daylight. Floor to ceiling glazing frames views of the Canal, Burj Khalifa and Downtown, while open plan living keeps daily life fluid and practical. Private balconies extend living spaces outdoors and give you a front row seat to sunset colours over the water.

The arrival experience sets the tone for the building. A lobby lounge with a communal table creates a social heart where neighbours can pause, work or meet. Amenities have been curated for balance. You can move from a fitness studio to a leisurely swim, then reset in a zen room before heading back out to the city. Families have dedicated areas including a kids pool and places to play within sight of the main deck, so weekends can stay easy. Details such as net seating by the pool and a clubhouse with a kitchenette signal that time spent at home is meant to feel relaxed and unhurried.

Direct access to the Dubai Water Canal Boardwalk shapes daily routine. Morning walks, evening runs and casual cycles are quite literally on your doorstep, with cafés and waterside stops spread along the promenade. Inside the apartments, materials are kept warm and contemporary, with soft tones that sit comfortably beside natural light. Storage runs, sensible kitchen planning and well lit bathrooms support the rhythm of real life rather than show home moments. With a modern lifestyle set in a gated environment and attractive payment options available, The Quayside at Business Bay positions itself for both end users and investors who value a central address that still feels like home.

The Quayside at Business Bay apartments and amenities

At The Quayside at Business Bay, the homes are shaped for liveability. Studios optimise every metre with clean kitchen lines and a sleeping area that feels separate without being closed off. One bedroom apartments add a brighter living frontage and a balcony that earns daily use in the cooler months. Two and three bedroom layouts widen to accommodate family life, with dining zones that sit comfortably beside the lounge and bedrooms planned for proper furniture, not just staging. The signature five bedroom penthouse elevates this approach with expansive glazing, extended terraces and long views that take in the Canal and skyline.

Amenity design follows the same practical elegance. A leisure and lounge pool is paired with a dedicated kids pool so parents can relax nearby. The fitness studio includes space for functional training and stretching, and when you want a quieter reset, the zen room gives you a place to switch off. The clubhouse works for casual hosting, while the pizza oven and barbecue area turn simple evenings into easy gatherings. Even small touches, like net seating beside the water, make time on the deck feel different from a standard pool terrace. With Dubai Water Canal access woven into the site, the building embraces its setting rather than turning inward.
