A one bedroom apartment in Business Bay for sale is available across ten towers in the Orven selection, each with its own price position. The Quayside already offers ready one bedroom units from AED 1.3 million, while Bayz 102, Avarra by Palace and Al Habtoor Tower publish off-plan starting prices between AED 2 million and AED 2.4 million; the other six towers are on request.

The four with a published starting price

Tower	Starting price	Status	Payment plan
The Quayside (Ellington)	AED 1.3 million	Ready, Q1 2026	On request
Al Habtoor Tower	AED 2 million	Off-plan	On request
Bayz 102 (Danube)	AED 2.4 million	Under construction, June 2029	30/70
Avarra by Palace (Emaar)	AED 2,709,888	Off-plan, Q2 2031	On request

Avarra by Palace's figure applies to a limited release of twenty units at launch; your adviser confirms current availability for a one bedroom specifically.

The six still on request

Altitude de GRISOGONO, Binghatti Aquarise, Binghatti Skyhall, Binghatti Skyrise, One by Binghatti and Jumeirah Living Business Bay all include a one bedroom option within their mix, but none currently publish a starting price for it. Binghatti Skyhall is worth noting specifically for this search, its entire collection is studios and one bedroom apartments only, with curved facades and a jogging route around the building, though the price remains on request.

Why Business Bay has so many towers in play

Business Bay has become one of Dubai's densest apartment districts, with Emaar, Danube, Binghatti, Al Habtoor Group, Ellington and Select Group all currently selling here. That depth is useful for a one bedroom search because it means several price points and several finish styles exist side by side, but it also means no single number answers "what does a one bedroom in Business Bay cost."

Ready versus off-plan matters for a one bedroom buyer

The Quayside is already close to or at handover, which changes the buying process compared with an off-plan tower like Bayz 102 or Avarra by Palace: a ready unit means no further construction-stage instalments, while an off-plan purchase spreads payments over several years before you hold the keys. If moving in sooner matters more than spreading the cost, that distinction should guide your shortlist as much as price.

What the published payment plans look like

Among the four priced towers, only Bayz 102 currently publishes a clear split, 30% during the construction period and 70% on handover in June 2029. The Quayside, Al Habtoor Tower and Avarra by Palace are all price-published but payment-plan on request, so your adviser requests the current structure once you confirm interest in a specific unit.

Escrow, registration and financing

Whichever tower you choose, every Business Bay off-plan payment is held in an escrow account controlled by the Dubai Land Department, with progress trackable through the DLD's Project Status Enquiry service, and sales register through Oqood at fixed fees confirmed in the contract. A ready unit like those at The Quayside instead follows the standard 4% DLD registration fee on a completed sale. Bank financing remains possible for certain non-residents, always subject to the lender's approval, with no bank or rate confirmed for any of these towers.

Golden Visa for a one bedroom in Business Bay

A property investment of at least AED 2 million can open a Golden Visa application, subject to conditions confirmed by the authorities. Al Habtoor Tower, Bayz 102 and Avarra by Palace all clear that threshold at their published starting prices for the building; The Quayside's AED 1.3 million entry price sits below it, so reaching the threshold there depends on the specific unit size.

Next step

Tell your adviser whether a ready unit or an off-plan release suits your timeline, and your target budget between AED 1.3 million and AED 2.4 million or above. From there, your adviser narrows the ten towers to the two or three that match.
