Why short-let from OBY Building

What makes this building work.

01
Mall of the Emirates foot traffic is year-round (winter retail + summer Ski Dubai indoor tourism) — the demand calendar is more even than purely beach-driven areas.
02
Direct metro to Marina, Internet City and Downtown — guests can stay value and commute to higher-priced destinations, widens the bookable audience.
03
Long-running aparthotel presence means short-let isn't a per-building negotiation — guest expectations are calibrated for apartment-style stays.
04
Mid-tier ADR with stable occupancy produces strong cash-on-cash yields without the supply saturation of JVC.
