- Too few sales on record to say.
“There are too few recent sales in Escape Tower for me to quote a return. I would price it from the last sale of the same layout, and I would not pay more for a promise.”

What United Engineering Construction publishes about Escape Tower. Pictures are the developer's artist's impressions, not photos of the building. Each fact shows where it comes from; a fact read from the developer's text is checked word for word.
Checked, not found: artist's impressions, floor plans, a video, a brochure or other PDF, facts we could check. We searched the developer site and the web on 10 Oct 2026. Ask United Engineering Construction for the latest brochure and floor plans.

Resale and off-plan prices by bedroom
Resale = a completed home sold on. Off-plan = a home sold before the tower is complete, in most cases by the developer. The two are different markets, so we never mix them in one price. Sold = median price of sales in the 12 months to 14 Oct 2026. Asking and rent = live listings on 7 Oct 2026. Counts are in brackets. A median needs 5 sales or 3 listings.
| Type | Rent a year |
|---|---|
| 2-bed | – (1) |
| 3-bed | AED 152,500 (10) |
| 4-bed | – (1) |
Rents are asking rents, not registered contracts. Yield = asking rent divided by the median resale price, before service charge.
Sales we leave out of every median, count and chart (0 of 0 here): bulk transfers, meaning 5 or more completed homes sold within two days at prices per sq ft within 25% of each other (0); a sale at exactly the same price as that unit's sale before (0); a size more than 1.6 times the usual size for the recorded type, or a "studio" above 750 sq ft (0). They stay in the list below with a label.
Too few resale sales to state a yearly change
0 resale sales in the last 12 months and 0 in the 12 months before. Each period needs at least 5.
Too few quarters with sales to draw a chart.
Bars: median AED per sq ft by quarter. Blue line and blue numbers under the bars: number of sales in the quarter. Last 16 quarters at most. Grey bars have fewer than 3 sales.
Every sale since 2020: 0 sales of 0 units
Newest first. Each sale is marked Resale or Off-plan. The last column shows the change from the same unit's sale before.

Checked, not found. We could not match this tower to a building name in the Dubai Land Department register, so sales before 2020, offices, shops, mortgages and gifts are not shown.

Which side faces what
The direction of each landmark from Escape Tower, and the towers within 150 m that can stand in the way. What a home really sees depends on its floor and its side of the building. We do not have the unit positions for this tower yet, so we cannot tell you the view of one unit.

Short lets: at least 1 Airbnb listing in this tower
We read Airbnb on 9 Oct 2026 and matched each listing to a tower. A listing counts here when two things agree: the Dubai holiday-home permit code, the tower name in the listing, or the map pin. 1 listing passes this test for Escape Tower. 2 more may be in this tower, but we could not confirm them.
If you invest
- Short lets operate in Escape Tower today: 1 live Airbnb listing.
- No operator has more than 2 listings in this tower.
- Each short-let home needs a holiday-home permit from Dubai's Department of Economy and Tourism. 2 of the listings show a permit code.
If you live here
- A short-let home has new guests every few days. Residents share the lifts, the pool and the gym with them.
- Before you buy or rent a home to live in, ask the building management how guests get access and who deals with noise.
Source: Airbnb listing pages, read 9 Oct 2026. A listing is one advert. One home can have more than one advert. No listing found does not mean short lets are not allowed.

Own a unit here?
Ask for a report on your unit: its sales history, the same type's sales in the last 12 months and the homes for sale against it. A licensed partner agent, named on the report with the registration number, sends it. BUY DUBAI is not a broker and takes no part in the sale.
Method, sources and what we did not find
- Sales: unit-level Dubai Land Department sale records, 2020 to 14 Oct 2026, checked by year against Dubai Land Department open data. Our unit list does not hold every sale, so some sales are missing.
- Listings: one snapshot, 7 Oct 2026. Asking prices and asking rents.
- Short lets: Airbnb map search and listing pages for Business Bay, read 9 Oct 2026. A listing counts for a tower when two of these agree: the Dubai holiday-home permit code, the tower name in the listing, the map pin.
- Residents and building facts: Google Maps reviews and guide pages (live adverts: community guide, propertystellar.com, propsearch.ae, royalestays.com), read by an AI model on 16 Oct 2026 with a fixed question list. A script checks that each answer names its source.
- Nobody visited the tower. Every fact is from a document, a map or a resident's review.
- Checked, not found for this tower: sales, a floor plan document, unit positions on a floor, the side and view of each unit.
