Mayfair Residency runs along Al Khaleej Al Tejari 2 Street in Business Bay, with access to Al Khail Road and Marasi Drive in about five minutes by car. That makes it easy to get across Dubai without spending too long navigating smaller internal roads.
If you use public transport, Business Bay Metro Station on the Red Line is roughly a five-minute drive away or about a 50-minute walk. Two bus stops, Mayfair Residency 1 and Mayfair Residency 2, are both within walking distance of the entrance, which makes short local trips much easier.
The closest bus stop is Mayfair Residency 2, about a three-minute walk from the building. Mayfair Residency 1 is roughly a five-minute walk in the other direction. Between them, they cover routes through Business Bay and onward to Downtown Dubai and other areas.
You also have a few more options on foot. Fairview Residency 2 is about a four-minute walk away, and Volante Dubai Tower 2 is around a six-minute walk. Clayton Residency 2 and Capital Golden Tower are both reachable in under ten minutes on foot.
For metro access, Business Bay Metro Station on the Red Line is roughly a five-minute drive away. Burj Khalifa / Dubai Mall Station is under ten minutes by car. If you're using taxis or ride-hailing apps like Careem and Uber, pickups are usually quick in this part of Business Bay.
Al Khail Road is about five minutes away by car, which is one of the main reasons the building works well for commuters. Marasi Drive gives you another route through the Business Bay waterfront area, while Burj Khalifa Street leads toward Sheikh Zayed Road and DIFC.
Parking options nearby are varied. Several 346GP metered bays sit within a one-minute walk of the building, and a permit-holders-only lot near the Renaissance Hotel is about a five-minute walk away.
Zero Car Park is roughly a ten-minute walk south. You can also use paid parking at the Intercontinental Residence Suites and Ubora Tower lots, both under ten minutes on foot, while valet services are available at the nearby O-14 building and VIP Parking Control.
For regular drives, Dubai Mall is roughly a ten-minute drive depending on traffic. Downtown Dubai and Burj Khalifa are under ten minutes by car. Mercato Beach takes around 15 minutes, and Dubai International Airport is typically a 15-to-20-minute drive via Al Khail Road or Business Bay Crossing, though traffic can stretch that out.
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.

I had a very bad memory in Mayfair residency, the flat was so old, from time to time I had a liking in bathroom or balcony and when I complain to the staff they tell me we have to change the pipes and this is only landlords of all building they can do because it’s a general issue in all flats, I felt like I’m living in karama or Satwa even rats are available over there.i was living there for 2 years even I don’t have a parking excess card and when I ask they tell me you have to pay ,I got a lot fines every single day because I park my car outside… a thousands of issues to tell and also stress . Really it’s the worst building ever, dirty building,old,zero service and maintenance ,it doesn’t worth to pay all this money for like this flats.

Mayfair Residency keeps things fairly simple. It's a residential tower in Business Bay with mainly one-bedroom and three-bedroom apartments, and current listings and recent transactions point to those as the core unit types in the building.
The apartment mix focuses on one-bedroom and three-bedroom layouts. One-bedroom units range from roughly 619 to 859 sq ft, while three-bedroom apartments go up to around 1,377 sq ft.
Several one-bedroom homes come furnished and have canal and Burj Khalifa views, which adds appeal in this part of Business Bay. Three-bedroom units also face the Dubai Water Canal, and some have been fully renovated with updated finishes.
Prices currently range from AED 920K to AED 2M, with a median around AED 1.15M. If you're comparing nearby options, Fairview Residency lists from AED 1.1M to AED 2.5M, while Park Central starts at AED 550K and goes up to AED 1.7M.
That puts Mayfair Residency between the two on pricing. You can browse apartments for sale in Mayfair Residency or explore apartments for rent in Mayfair Residency to see what's currently available.
Mayfair Residency suits young professionals and working professionals who want a central Business Bay address with canal and Burj Khalifa views. The building offers one-bedroom and three-bedroom apartments, and several units come furnished, which can make moving in easier. It's less likely to suit families looking for larger layouts or more extensive amenities, since the tower is simpler than many newer buildings in the area.
Mayfair Residency has a sale price range of AED 920K–2M, with a median around AED 1.15M, so it sits among the more affordable options in Business Bay. That lower entry price can appeal to investors aiming for rental demand from the area's large working-professional tenant base.
Business Bay is a designated freehold area in Dubai, which means overseas buyers are generally eligible to purchase property there. Buyers should still verify the specific title deed status of any unit in Mayfair Residency with the Dubai Land Department or their conveyancer before completing a transaction.
Mayfair Residency is about four kilometers from Business Bay Metro Station and roughly five kilometers from Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall Metro Station. That's typically a five- to ten-minute drive depending on traffic. For shorter trips, several bus stops are within walking distance, including Mayfair Residency 2 at roughly a three-minute walk and Fairview Residency 2 just beyond it.
Mayfair Residency does have parking, but availability and whether a dedicated access card comes with a tenancy can vary by landlord. Nearby paid options include Zero Car Park at about a ten-minute walk, Intercontinental Residence Suites parking, and permit-holder spaces near the Renaissance Hotel.
Mayfair Residency and Fairview Residency sit very close to each other in the same part of Business Bay, and they share similar bus stops and nearby amenities. Fairview Residency's listings currently range from AED 1.1M–2.5M, compared with AED 920K–2M at Mayfair Residency, so Mayfair Residency usually gives you a lower entry price.
