What you need to know about Urban Oasis

Urban Oasis is a residential tower development in Business Bay, one of Dubai's most central districts. It sits on the Dubai Water Canal, so residents get direct water views and quick access to key city spots.

Downtown Dubai, the Burj Khalifa, and Dubai Mall are all about a five-minute drive away. The tower is part of the wider Business Bay master plan, where office buildings and high-rise apartments share a compact, walkable canal-side setting.

Urban Oasis works especially well for working professionals and students because it sits between major employment hubs like DIFC and Downtown Dubai. Business Bay Metro Station helps cut down the need for a car during the workweek, although traffic in the district does get heavy at peak hours.

For buyers, the options range from studios up to larger penthouses with private elevators and canal views. Urban Oasis also reflects Business Bay's wider appeal to an international workforce, with a resident base that is predominantly expatriate. If you want to compare it with the rest of the area, you can browse current listings for apartments for sale in Business Bay.

Location, Lifestyle and Amenities

The branding is the amenity here, more than the facility list. Missoni designed the interiors, replacing an earlier plan for Cavalli, and the apartments share a design aesthetic with the brand's sister tower in Miami. Penthouses come fully fitted with high-end Missoni fixtures and décor and are reached by private elevator.

  • The shared facilities are an infinity pool, a state-of-the-art gymnasium, and a children's play area. Residents enter through a grand entrance lobby with 24-hour concierge service.
  • Parking is on a single basement level. There are retail outlets at ground level, and Dubai Land Department records show commercial shop units within the building.

Abhi S.

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 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.

Property types in Urban Oasis

Urban Oasis is a single high-rise residential tower developed by Dar Global, with interiors by the Missoni fashion house, set in Business Bay along the Dubai Water Canal. The building is apartment-only, and many units come fully furnished with Missoni-inspired interiors. Its canal-front setting and fast access to Downtown Dubai give it a different feel from the more office-heavy parts of Business Bay.

Urban Oasis consists entirely of apartments, with layouts ranging from studios to three-bedroom units. Studios start at around 420 sq ft. One-bedroom apartments usually measure 630–960 sq ft, two-bedroom units sit between 1,160 and 1,360 sq ft, and three-bedroom homes reach approximately 1,900 sq ft.

Prices of apartments for sale in Urban Oasis cover a wide range. Many units are fully furnished and include canal or Burj Khalifa views, private balconies, and access to shared amenities such as a swimming pool, fitness center, and landscaped podium areas.

Apartments for rent in Urban Oasis sit at the premium end of the local market. Urban Oasis sits above nearby Merano Tower, largely because of its branded-residence positioning and canal-front location.

Urban Oasis also has a limited number of penthouses on the upper floors. These larger homes come with canal views, private elevator access, and premium finishes.

Layouts with three or more bedrooms run close to 1,900 sq ft of living space. Residents still get the building's branded amenities, but with more privacy and higher views over the canal and downtown skyline.
