About
About The St. Regis Residences
The St. Regis Residences is the branded address Emaar Properties placed in The Opera District: two art-deco inspired towers, 262m and 171m tall, joined by a landscaped podium on Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Boulevard. The plot is the real asset. Dubai Opera is a one minute walk away and Burj Khalifa three, and the developer's view corridor plans aim the homes at Burj Khalifa, Dubai Opera and The Dubai Fountain. In my experience, those sight lines are what Downtown resale buyers price first.
Scale matters as much as the name on the door. With 1,108 residences across the two towers, this is not a boutique scarcity play; the brand works as a quality signal, and the long term case rests on location and outlook. End users get the walkable Downtown core with a pool deck, spa treatment rooms and a fitness center at home. Investors get an entry at AED 2.48M ≈ USD 674K that already clears the Golden Visa property threshold on the smallest layout, with the final 30% of the original plan tied to construction completion.
A note on the brand: the developer's own documents state that the residences are not owned, developed or sold by Marriott International. Emaar Properties uses The St. Regis marks under a license from Marriott, so your purchase contract, payments and handover all run with Emaar.

Four typologies with one clear break in the ladder: the apartments run from AED 2.48M ≈ USD 674K to AED 7.50M ≈ USD 2.04M, then the 4 bedroom penthouses step up to AED 28.95M ≈ USD 7.88M for up to 6,949 sq ft. For most buyers the practical choice sits between the 1 and 2 bedroom layouts for rental flexibility and the 3 bedroom for space and a family outlook over the Opera District.

The St. Regis Residences Payment Plan
Down payment, March 2022
Eight instalments, May 2022 to November 2025
On construction completion, estimated December 2026
The St. Regis Residences was sold on a 70/30 plan: 70% across a dated schedule that opened with a March 2022 down payment, and 30% on construction completion, which the developer estimates for December 2026. I show it here as the schedule of record rather than a current offer, because the dates, not construction milestones, drove every instalment before completion.

Buy Directly From Emaar Properties Developer Inventory
Availability at The St. Regis Residences is limited, and with handover set for Q4 2026 the options narrow to whatever Emaar still holds and whatever owners bring to resale. Remaining developer stock means the official price with no resale premium; the payment terms on those units are set by Emaar at the point of sale, not by the original 2022 schedule, so I confirm them before you commit.
- Official Emaar prices, no resale markup or transfer premium
- Current payment terms confirmed with Emaar for each unit
- Every payment protected through the project's DLD-registered escrow account
- Live unit list with layouts, floors, and views, sent the same day

Own a Unit Here? Sell It or Rent It Out
With completion scheduled for Q4 2026, owners at The St. Regis Residences reach the first real decision of the investment: exit into a finished Downtown address, or hold the unit and let it. I handle both routes personally, from the first valuation to the signed contract.
Sell Your Unit
A valuation grounded in recent Downtown Dubai resale evidence for your tower, layout and view, followed by marketing, negotiation and the DLD transfer. You deal with me directly, never a listing farm.
Rent It Out
A rental estimate for your layout, advice on furnishing level and Ejari registration, and tenant sourcing from handover day so the unit earns from the start.
Location
The St. Regis Residences Location Within Downtown Dubai
Inside Downtown Dubai, the towers take a plot on Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Boulevard beside Opera Plaza, with Dubai Opera, Grande and Il Primo between them and Burj Park, and Opera Grand and Act One | Act Two further along the boulevard. That position explains the walking times: one minute to Dubai Opera and four to The Dubai Mall. For residents it puts the Downtown core on foot; for investors it means a plot in the inner Opera District ring, where new supply is confined to what the masterplan already allows. The wider district picture is covered in my Downtown Dubai community guide.
Downtown Dubai, DubaiConnectivity
Connectivity from The St. Regis Residences
Most daily trips from The St. Regis Residences start on foot: the developer's proximity plan puts Dubai Opera one minute away, The Dubai Fountain two, Burj Khalifa three and The Dubai Mall four minutes' walk. By car, Sheikh Zayed Road links the district to DIFC, Dubai Marina and both airports. For rail, the Dubai Metro runs along Sheikh Zayed Road, and my Dubai Metro guide explains how the network shapes access and long term value across the city.

Interiors
Interior Design at The St. Regis Residences
Inside the apartments, the developer's material board is restrained rather than showy: porcelain tile floors and skirtings, timber doors and architraves, kitchens in off white or timber look laminate with bronze detailing, composite stone surfaces in kitchens and bathrooms, and a scored marble feature in the shower. The shared spaces carry the brand more visibly, with a grand staircase, signature hall, residential lounges, library, drawing room and boardroom. My read: buyers here pay for the outlook and the address, and the finish specification is a clean base most owners will tailor to their own taste.

The St. Regis Residences Frequently Asked Questions
The St. Regis Residences, Downtown Dubai is a residential development by Emaar Properties in The Opera District, made up of two art-deco inspired towers rising 262m and 171m over a shared landscaped podium, with 1,108 residences from 1 bedroom apartments to 4 bedroom penthouses. According to the developer's documents, the residences are not owned, developed or sold by Marriott International; Emaar uses The St. Regis marks under a license from Marriott.
The towers stand in The Opera District of Downtown Dubai, on Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Boulevard beside Opera Plaza. The developer's proximity plan gives walking times of 1 minute to Dubai Opera, 2 minutes to The Dubai Fountain, 3 minutes to Burj Khalifa and 4 minutes to The Dubai Mall.
There are four typologies: 1 bedroom apartments of 785 to 928 sq ft (73 to 86 sq m), 2 bedroom apartments of 1,126 to 1,471 sq ft (105 to 137 sq m), 3 bedroom apartments of 1,799 to 1,886 sq ft (167 to 175 sq m), and 4 bedroom penthouses of 6,922 to 6,949 sq ft (643 to 646 sq m).
Handover is expected in Q4 2026, and the developer's payment plan gives December 2026 as the estimated construction completion date. The latest RERA inspection progress report, from June 2026, records enabling, foundation and substructure works as completed, with superstructure, MEP, internal finishes and the external envelope progressing. Each inspection is tracked in The St. Regis Residences construction updates guide.
Prices start from AED 2.48M ≈ USD 674K for a 1 bedroom apartment. 2 bedroom apartments start from AED 4.10M ≈ USD 1.12M, 3 bedroom apartments from AED 7.50M ≈ USD 2.04M, and 4 bedroom penthouses from AED 28.95M ≈ USD 7.88M, with the final figure depending on tower, floor, view and availability.
The developer's plan is 70/30: a 10% down payment in March 2022, eight instalments totalling 60% between May 2022 and November 2025, and 30% on construction completion, estimated for December 2026. A 4% DLD registration fee applies on top of the purchase price. Every date-based instalment has now fallen due, so the terms for a unit bought today depend on whether it is remaining developer stock or a resale.
It depends on the objective. The case rests on location and outlook: a branded address a short walk from Burj Khalifa, Dubai Opera and The Dubai Mall, with homes planned around those view lines. With 1,108 residences it is not a scarcity play, so the decision turns on entry price, holding horizon, whether you intend to live in, let or resell after completion, and how a given unit's floor and view compare with the rest of the stock.
Every typology is priced above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K property investment threshold for the 10 year UAE Golden Visa, starting with the 1 bedroom at AED 2.48M ≈ USD 674K. Price is the main test; the application itself follows the standard eligibility steps set out in my Golden Visa guide for The St. Regis Residences.
Yes, The St. Regis Residences is a freehold property, open to all nationalities.
Yes. Reservation, SPA signing, payments and registration can all be completed remotely, and I manage the process end to end with the developer on your behalf. Each stage of a remote purchase is documented in my Dubai real estate guide library.
Off plan payments go into the project's DLD-registered escrow account at Dubai Islamic Bank and are released to the developer against verified construction progress, a framework regulated by the Dubai Land Department. The account and its safeguards are explained in The St. Regis Residences escrow account guide.
Off plan mortgage options for non-residents are limited, so most buyers fund the developer's plan directly. Financing becomes more accessible at completion, when finished units can qualify for standard UAE mortgage products available to non-residents, subject to lender criteria. That matters here because 30% of the price falls due on construction completion.

Snagging Inspection Before You Take the Keys
Handover is the one moment when defects are logged against the developer before you accept the unit.

Send me your unit number and handover date. I coordinate an independent snagging team, and you do not need to be in Dubai.
Full Defect Report
