Princess Tower
Princess Tower is a very tall residential tower in the Dubai Marina, set back from the water near the Sheikh Zayed Road side of the district. It offers a wide mix of apartments, with views that depend heavily on floor and orientation. Buyers should focus on lift capacity, upkeep and the Mollak service-charge budget.

The building in brief
Princess Tower is one of the most recognisable residential towers in Dubai Marina. It is a single, very tall building with a large number of homes, from compact apartments to larger family layouts and penthouses. Scale is its defining feature: more residents, more lifts, and a wide variation in view from one floor to the next.
What to inspect
- Lifts: ask how lifts are zoned and visit at a busy time. In a tall tower this shapes daily life.
- View and orientation: lower floors can face neighbouring towers; higher floors may see the sea or the Marina. Confirm what is in front of the window now and what could be built.
- Upkeep: look at common corridors, the pool and gym, and the condition of the lobby.
- Parking: check where the bay is and how easy the ramp access is at peak times.
- Community rules: confirm the policy on pets, short lets and renovation works.
Service charges
Large towers spread costs over many owners, but they also run more lifts, security and plant. Do not assume the charge is low or high. Ask for the current statement and check the registered budget and any arrears on Mollak.
How it compares nearby
Compared with Elite Residence, another tall tower in the same part of the Marina, the trade-offs are similar: height and views against busier lifts. Compared with Cayan Tower, Princess Tower is less about design and more about space and choice of unit types.
Who does it suit?
It suits tenants who want room and a Marina address without a waterfront premium, and investors who value a deep rental pool. People who dislike long lift rides or busy lobbies may prefer a smaller building. See current units on our Dubai Marina rentals page.
Questions people ask
Are higher floors in Princess Tower always better?
Not always. Higher floors usually mean wider views, but also longer lift journeys and sometimes more wind noise. Visit the actual unit and judge for yourself.
How do I check Princess Tower service charges?
Ask the seller for the latest service-charge statement and confirm the budget on Mollak. Check there are no unpaid amounts, because arrears can delay the transfer.
Is Princess Tower suitable for families?
It offers larger layouts than many Marina towers, which helps families. Check the pool and play areas, and think about lift access with prams and shopping.
Can I rent out an apartment here short-term?
Holiday-home lets need a permit from Dubai's Department of Economy and Tourism, and the building may have its own rules. Confirm both before you buy for that purpose.
