Burj Vista Tower 1 Downtown Building Guide for 2026

If you’re looking at Burj Vista Tower 1, you’re probably weighing a Downtown one-bedroom with Burj Khalifa views and space for up to four. This guide is for guests considering that stay, and for property owners who want Homevy to manage a home in Burj Vista Tower 1.

Burj Vista is not Burj Views. They are different Emaar towers in Downtown Dubai, and Burj Views already has its own Burj Views building guide. The facts below are for Burj Vista Tower 1 only.

Homevy was named Best Short-Term Rental Management Company in Dubai at the 2026 Arabian Best of the Best Awards, and you can book the one-bedroom in Burj Vista Tower 1 through Homevy.

In Dubai, Homevy reports around 91.1% average occupancy across its portfolio.

TL;DR

  1. Choose Burj Vista Tower 1 if: you want a Downtown one-bedroom that sleeps four (a bedroom plus a sofa bed), with Burj Khalifa views and a desk and monitor for work.
  2. Do not confuse it with Burj Views, a different Downtown tower with its own Homevy guide.
  3. The apartment: 882 sq ft, one bedroom, a sofa bed, one full bathroom and one half bathroom, a balcony and a workspace, for up to four guests.
  4. For guests: this guide points you to the live Burj Vista listing. It does not replace that page. For the neighbourhood, read the Downtown Burj Khalifa area guide.
  5. For owners: Bayut’s H1 2026 report puts the Downtown one-bedroom figure at AED 133,000 a year. That is an area figure, not a rent for this building. Short-stay management is a flat 20% fee, usually taken from net revenue rather than gross.

Burj Vista Tower 1 Building Facts

Burj Vista Tower 1 is a residential tower by Emaar Properties in Downtown Dubai, on Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Boulevard.

The Council on Vertical Urbanism (Skyscraper Center), opened on 12 November 2026, lists Burj Vista Tower 1 as a completed 66-floor tower, finished in 2018, 254.6 m tall, with 520 apartments.

It is one of two towers in the Burj Vista complex. The shorter companion tower is not the subject of this guide.

Bayut’s Burj Vista page gives different storey and home counts, and also places Dubai Marina Mall among nearby landmarks, which is the wrong side of the city. Those Bayut figures were left out. Amenities from that page, which do not depend on the disputed counts, are used below with the source named.

Each figure names its source. If two sources disagreed, the fact was left out.

Inside the One-Bedroom at Burj Vista Tower 1

The Homevy apartment is an 882 sq ft one-bedroom on a high floor of Burj Vista Tower 1. It sleeps up to four: one bedroom, plus a sofa bed in the living area. There is one full bathroom and one half bathroom. This is for couples, a small family, friends or someone who needs to work during the stay.

Private balcony of the Burj Vista Tower 1 apartment, with two chairs and a clear view of the Burj Khalifa.

Inside the Burj Vista Tower 1 apartment, guests get:

  • Bedroom and work: a bed with a workspace in the same room, including a desk, a laptop stand and a monitor, plus Wi-Fi.
  • Living area: a sofa bed, a smart TV and large windows with Burj Khalifa views.
  • Kitchen: a full kitchen with appliances and cookware.
  • Bathrooms: one full bathroom with a shower, and one half bathroom with a toilet and sink, plus towels and toiletries.
  • Balcony: a private balcony with Burj Khalifa views.
  • Parking: one space, according to the listing.

Check-in is from 3:00 pm, and check-out is by 11:00 am. Every guest needs to send photo ID before arrival and present it at check-in, as Dubai short-stay and building rules require. The team is available 24/7 once you are in.

If a Downtown one-bedroom for four, with a Burj Khalifa view and a desk, is what you want, book it on the live listing.

Homevy Tip: if you plan to work from the apartment, say so when you book. The desk, laptop stand and monitor are already in the bedroom, so you do not need to bring a screen.

Burj Vista Amenities for Guests and Residents

The listing gives guests a swimming pool, a gym, covered parking and 24/7 security with CCTV, plus the private balcony.

Shared swimming pool at Burj Vista in Downtown Dubai, with the Burj Khalifa and neighbouring towers behind the deck.

Bayut’s Burj Vista guide also lists an infinity pool, kids’ pools, a basketball court, a tennis court, a kids’ play area, a barbecue area, a billiards room, a reading room, a games room, a business centre, a retail centre, a function hall, basement parking for residents and 24-hour concierge and maintenance.

Bayut says pets are not allowed in Burj Vista, and that the building is smoke-free.

Walk times on that Bayut page do not agree with each other (Dubai Mall is given as both a 5-minute and a 13-minute walk, and the metro as 11 minutes), so this guide does not quote them. The listing describes the apartment as steps from Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall.

Getting Around from Burj Vista in Downtown

Burj Vista Tower 1 is on Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Boulevard, in the middle of Downtown. The Downtown Burj Khalifa area guide is the page for the neighbourhood. This page is about the building.

For another Downtown one-bedroom Homevy manages, see Standpoint Tower A, which sleeps two. For Burj Views, which is a different tower, use that building’s own guide and do not mix the two.

Nearby construction is possible during a stay, as the listing notes for many Downtown addresses.

Bayut’s H1 2026 Dubai rental market report, updated on 12 November 2026, gives these figures for Downtown Dubai as a whole, not for Burj Vista on its own. Bayut describes overall market stability for Downtown in that period.

Short Stays Management in Burj Vista for Property Owners

This section is for property owners, including Homevy owners, who have a home in Burj Vista Tower 1 and are weighing short stays.

A Burj Vista apartment needs a holiday home permit from Dubai’s Department of Economy and Tourism (DET) before it can host those stays, and operating without one can bring fines of up to AED 100,000. The guide to the DTCM holiday home permit in Dubai covers the documents you need and when to renew.

Homevy handles DTCM holiday home permits and furnishing for property owners, as well as DTCM-compliant holiday home management in Dubai. The fee is a flat 20%, usually taken from net revenue rather than gross, with no onboarding fee. See the short-stay management fees.

The contract is flexible, with no multi-year lock-in, and payouts go out monthly in the first week. Photography and videography are included at onboarding. The in-house, KHDA-certified team can also handle interior design and furnishing. Owner stays are free and unlimited, blocked on the owner dashboard.

If you’re weighing a yearly lease against short stays, compare short stays against a yearly lease for your own unit.

Owners can also get free instant insights on a listing with Homevy Score (the full report is $0.99).
