About 17 Icon Bay
Emaar launched 17 Icon Bay in August 2017 as part of its joint venture with Dubai Holding at Dubai Creek Harbour. The tower sits on the circular boulevard that wraps around Creek Island, right next to the island's Central Park, so most residents have green space and the waterfront promenade a short walk from the lobby.
The design uses strong vertical lines that emphasise the tower's height, set on a podium with the shared facilities. Upper floors look west across the Creek to the Downtown Dubai skyline and the Burj Khalifa, while other sides face the Creek Harbour marina and the protected wetlands of Ras Al Khor.
With one, two and three bedroom layouts and a finished, lived in community around it, 17 Icon Bay suits both end users who want a calm island address close to Downtown and investors who want a completed tower with strong rental interest on Dubai's newest waterfront.
