Aykon City is a DAMAC Properties development on the Dubai Canal in Business Bay. It was masterplanned as four towers, A, B, C and D. Towers B and C were built and are now known as Damac Maison Aykon City Hotel Apartments and Aykon City Luxury Residences, while towers A and D were replaced by a single high-rise, Safa Two by De Grisogono. Between them they bring residential apartments, serviced hotel apartments, and commercial space into one connected address. The glass-and-steel design makes the most of the water frontage, and many units face the canal or look out over the Downtown Dubai skyline.
The development sits on the western edge of Business Bay with direct access to Sheikh Zayed Road. That puts Business Bay Metro Station about five minutes away by car and the Burj Khalifa under ten minutes by car. Habtoor Palace and Hilton Dubai Al Habtoor City are right next door, so their restaurants, lounges, and waterfront promenades are easy to reach without driving.
This address tends to suit young professionals, investors, and couples who want a central canal-front base with strong transport links. Homes range from studios to three-bedroom apartments, along with hotel apartments and penthouses.
Prices of properties for sale in Aykon City range from AED 520K to AED 15M, with a median of AED 1.32M. A total of 461 listings are available. 239 properties have been listed for sale in Aykon City over the past 30 days. Across all listings, 91% are verified and 65% are listed by SuperAgents.

The data displayed is based on average prices and sizes of all in Aykon City.
See all TransactionsAykon City runs along the Dubai Canal in Business Bay, with Sheikh Zayed Road to the west and Al Khail Road within reach to the east. Downtown Dubai and DIFC are both about a ten-minute drive, and having both highway on-ramps nearby makes crossing the city much easier.
The canal-side walkway is one of the main draws. It's flat enough for cycling, well lit after dark, and lined with a growing number of places to stop for coffee. That matters most during the cooler months.
Cremglasse, the popular ice cream shop, is the closest option and sits steps from the tower entrances. Costa Coffee and Charlie Beans are both about a five- to seven-minute walk along the canal side. Fuze and Poolside fall within the same walking radius, and Timeless is a slightly longer stroll if you're heading out for evening drinks.
For a full meal, more options open up within a short drive. Loona is roughly five minutes by car for contemporary fare. Terrace Tashkent and Navat Tea House, both serving Central Asian cuisine, sit at a similar distance toward Jumeirah. Din Tai Fung and L'ETO are each under ten minutes by car.
Aykon City doesn't have any schools within the development, so most families look toward Jumeirah and Al Safa for daily schooling. There are 26 schools within five kilometers, and average annual fees run around AED 46,056. The UK curriculum is the most common nearby, but French, Indian, American, Japanese, and IB options are all within a short drive.
Lycee Francais Jean Mermoz, about 672 meters away, follows the French curriculum, with fees ranging from AED 40,000 to AED 69,000.
Jumeirah English Speaking School, roughly 955 meters away, follows the UK curriculum and holds an Outstanding KHDA rating, with fees between AED 54,000 and AED 65,000.
Dubai British School Jumeira, about 960 meters away, also follows the UK curriculum, with fees ranging from AED 44,000 to AED 70,000.

Aykon City sits along Dubai Water Canal Street, with fast connections to Al Hadiqa Street and the Al Safa Boulevard corridor. Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Khail Road are both reachable within minutes by car. Business Bay Metro Station on the Red Line is the nearest rail stop, about five minutes away by car, though it's closer to a 25-minute walk.
Business Bay Metro Station is the closest rail link. From there you can head north toward DIFC, Trade Centre, and Deira, or south toward Mall of the Emirates and Jebel Ali. Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall Station is roughly a seven-minute drive and is useful for trips into Downtown Dubai.
The Quoz, Dubai Municipality Center bus stop is about a seven-minute walk and links into routes serving Downtown and Al Quoz. Uber, Careem, and regular taxis are easy to find around the development. There's also a taxi stand near the Al Habtoor City complex, a short walk from the towers.
Aykon City connects to Sheikh Zayed Road through Al Hadiqa Street, so the city's main corridors are straightforward to reach. Al Khail Road gives you another route toward Dubai Creek, Festival City, and points south. The Dubai Canal Cycling Track runs alongside the development if you'd rather cycle in the cooler months.
Residents get dedicated covered parking across the towers, with secure access and direct lifts. Visitor parking is available inside the complex, and Al Habtoor paid parking and Diamond Lease Valet Parking are both a short walk away for overflow.
Dubai Mall is roughly a ten-minute drive, and Downtown Dubai and the Burj Khalifa area take about the same. Dubai International Airport is typically 15 to 20 minutes by car, depending on traffic.
I’ve spent a fair amount of time around Business Bay and it’s one of those areas that looks exactly how you’d expect Dubai to look - sleek, central, and always a bit on the go. Location-wise, it’s hard to fault. You’re minutes from everything includes the likes of Downtown, DIFC, Sheikh Zayed Road, and almost next door to The Dubai Mall, which is obviously one of the biggest highlights of the city. Getting around is pretty seamless overall, and public transport is a big plus here: metros, buses, and cabs are all easily available, so you’re not fully reliant on a car. What’s interesting about Business Bay is that while it’s very work-driven, it’s also quite residential, so you get a mix of both. There are loads of cafés, gyms, and restaurants, and the canal side is genuinely a highlight, especially in the cooler months when it’s great for a walk or even cycling. That said, it can feel a little… transactional. A lot of people are there for work, so it doesn’t always have that strong “community” vibe. Traffic can also be a bit chaotic during peak hours, and depending on the building, quality really varies; some are great, others not so much. Overall, it works really well if you want convenience, connectivity, and that polished city feel, with the added bonus of actually being able to live there and not just work there.

Business Bay Peak hour traffic is really a challenge to get out of business bay, the metro is always crowded, for families and bachelors its ideal for being the middle of the city and burj views

Business Bay is Dubai’s thriving commercial and mixed-use hub, offering a dynamic environment for both work and lifestyle. Known for its modern skyline, it is home to numerous offices, corporate headquarters, and business centers, making it one of the city’s prime destinations for professionals and entrepreneurs. The community also features high-rise residential towers, stylish apartments, and waterfront promenades along the Dubai Canal, creating a live-work-play environment. Residents enjoy a variety of dining, retail, and leisure options, with easy access to Downtown Dubai, Burj Khalifa, and other key areas. Connectivity is excellent, with major roads and metro access ensuring smooth commuting. However, as a central business district, the area can experience traffic congestion during peak hours, and rental rates tend to be on the higher side. Overall, Business Bay is ideal for those seeking a modern, urban lifestyle in close proximity to Dubai’s commercial and entertainment core.

One of the most central and vibrant locations of Dubai - mix of commercial and residential buildings. Plenty of restaurants, cafes and hotels - giving an ideal city vibe plus very close proximity to Downtown Dubai and Burj Khalifa! The Dubai Canal within the area is great for evening walks. The parking and traffic can get bit intense especially during peak hours. Getting around Business Bay is not always the easiest - buses are the ideal option for public transport rather than the metro as the buildings are spread out.

Aykon City works well for young professionals and working professionals who want a canal-front address with quick access to Downtown Dubai and DIFC. Infinity pools, a fitness center, spa facilities, and on-site retail cover daily leisure and errands without leaving the complex. The trade-off is that it's less ideal for families who need larger layouts or direct garden access.

Tower C is the residential tower, sitting around AED 1.4 million with a large volume of ready apartments. Towers A and D were replaced by Safa Two by De Grisogono: Tower A shows a median of about AED 1.9 million with mostly off-plan transactions, and Tower D carries the highest median at roughly AED 2.2 million, including penthouses up to AED 15 million.
