A 73-storey, 307m (1,010ft) residential tower at the entrance to Dubai Marina, opposite Grosvenor House on Plot 10B. Cayan Tower twists a full 90° from base to top — each floor rotated 1.2° from the one below — and was, at handover, the tallest twisting tower in the world and one of Dubai's most photographed landmarks. Every apartment enjoys a sea, Palm or Marina-canal view as a result of the rotation.
What's in the building, so buyers, tenants and owners all know what's available to sell, rent, buy or lease.
Why this matters for owners: Cayan Tower has been fully handed over and income-producing since 2013 — thirteen years of registered resale and rental history give sellers one of the Marina's deepest comparable sets, and landlords a long, proven demand curve rather than a guess.
Sizes are the developer's own published ranges (2020 Cayan Tower presentation). Pricing is registered DLD data for 2026 year-to-date — shown as a single data point rather than an "average" wherever too few deals happened to make an average meaningful.
| Unit type | Size range (developer) | Registered size range (DLD) | Sale activity (YTD) | Rent activity (3mo) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | 419 – 785 sqft | 666 – 726 sqft | AED 1,410,000 median · 3 sales | AED 84,500 median · 2 contracts |
| 1 Bed | 720 – 1,095 sqft | 714 – 875 sqft | AED 2,000,000 median · 8 sales | AED 105,000 median · 27 contracts |
| 2 Beds | 1,255 – 1,525 sqft (+ Duplex 1,600–1,713) | 1,255 – 1,525 sqft | AED 2,875,000 median · 9 sales | AED 155,000 median · 39 contracts |
| 3 Beds | 1,646 – 1,820 sqft (+ Duplex & Duplex+Maid up to 3,008) | 1,813 sqft (1 data point) | AED 3,452,380 · only 1 sale | AED 190,000 · only 1 contract |
| 4 Beds | 2,547 – 2,612 sqft | 1,039 – 5,489 sqft (wide — see note) | AED 5,875,000 median · 7 sales | AED 210,000 median · 8 contracts |
| Half-Floor Penthouse | 5,477 – 5,486 sqft | — | No registered resale or lease on file this year | |
| Full-Floor Penthouse | 11,142 sqft | — | No registered resale or lease on file this year | |
DLD groups Cayan Tower's 4-bed apartments, duplexes and the full-floor penthouse into one "4 Bed" bucket, which is why the registered size range (1,039–5,489 sqft) is far wider than the developer's own 4BR-apartment range — one 5,489 sqft sale on 2 Oct 2026 at AED 9,910,523 is almost certainly a full-floor penthouse resale, not a standard 4-bed. We've kept it in the bucket rather than guess which line it belongs to. The 3-bed line is a single data point (not an average) — treat it as one reference sale, not a market price.
Service charge: AED 18.00/sqft/yr is the currently published residential rate for Cayan Tower (retail units are billed separately at a higher rate). This is the confirmed current figure, not the Dubai Marina community average.
All figures on this page are registered DLD transaction and rental-contract data for Cayan Tower and Dubai Marina, plus the developer's own published building specifications; where a figure conflicts with another source, registered data takes precedence.
Registered sale and rental activity for Cayan Tower apartments.
7 resales registered in the last 3 months against 77 rent contracts (53 new leases, 24 renewals) — an 11:1 lease-to-sale ratio. That's typical for a 456-unit tower with steady owner turnover, and reads as a strong, liquid leasing market sitting alongside a comparatively thin but active resale pipeline.
Year-to-date · Jan - Oct 2026 (for context)4-bed units (including duplexes and the full-floor penthouse) recorded 7 sales YTD and 8 leases in the last 3 months — shown separately in the unit-type table above since DLD buckets them together.

2026 figure is year-to-date new-lease median, not a full year.
Seven Cayan Tower units changed hands in the last 3 months against 77 rent contracts - an 11:1 lease-to-sale ratio that points to a leasing market running far deeper than the resale one. 1-bed and 2-bed units account for the bulk of registered activity on both sides (35 of 54 YTD resales shown, 66 of 77 recent leases), making them the most liquid sub-markets to price against. The 3-month rental book splits 53 new leases to 24 renewals - strong turnover for a landlord re-pricing a unit coming vacant, and a sign tenants keep rotating through the building rather than sitting static. Resale price per sqft has climbed every year since 2021 (AED 1,392 → AED 2,083 YTD), a six-year run with no down year - for an owner, that's a tower where a well-priced unit has consistently found a buyer. For a landlord not ready to sell, new-lease rents have held in the AED 139,000-143,000 band since 2023, so a fair re-pricing at renewal is unlikely to be a shock to a sitting tenant.

A listing in a 456-unit tower competes with every other owner on the same floor plan. Here's what changes when Duna Group handles it — and why it also means buyers and tenants reach the right unit faster.
Your listing is personally handled by Vesna, Co-Founder & CEO of Duna Group — not passed down to the newest hire.

Every listing is priced against our live Dubai data platform, so you list at a number that's defensible to a buyer's agent — not a guess.
Vesna's own Macedonian, Serbo-Croatian and English fluency plugs your listing into a European and Balkan investor base that's especially active in Dubai Marina.
Every Duna agent is trained through our own Realty Ready Academy, so your viewings, negotiations and paperwork get the same standard every time.
Whether you want to sell now or lease while you wait for the market, this same report and the same specialist cover both paths — no need to start over with a different agent.

Cayan Tower is one building inside a much larger picture. Duna Group's own data platform tracks registered sale and rental activity across every Dubai community in real time, and benchmarks Dubai itself against other global investment cities — so a decision to sell, buy, rent or hold here can be weighed against the wider Dubai market, and against where else in the world the same capital could go.
