A 191-unit tower in Barsha Heights

Rashid Mohammad Abdulla Al Mazroui Real Estate Developments launched The One Tower in the second quarter of 2010. The tower was completed in the third quarter of 2014, and the Dubai Land Department shows its completion date as 14 August 2014, at 100 percent complete.

Barsha Heights is also known as TECOM. It sits next to Dubai Media City and Dubai Internet City, between Sheikh Zayed Road (E11) and Al Khail Road (E44). TECOM stands for Technology, Education, Commerce and Media, and its free zones include Dubai Media City, Dubai Internet City, Dubai Knowledge Park and in5. Title at The One Tower is freehold. The tower has been operating since 2014, so existing residents can tell you how the building is managed day to day.

Studios to three-bedrooms, plus retail space

The tower has 191 units in total. The unit types are:

• Studios
• One-bedroom apartments
• Two-bedroom apartments
• Three-bedroom apartments
• Retail space

As a rough guide, studios and one-bedrooms fit single professionals and couples, while the two- and three-bedroom apartments give families or sharers more room. Ask for the floor plan of any apartment you plan to view.

The retail space is a separate unit type from the apartments. If you are interested in it rather than an apartment, ask for the unit's exact size and permitted use before you take it further.

What recent sales show

Dubai Land Department records show 49 sales transactions at The One Tower in the latest 12 months, the most recent on 6 July 2026. The median price in those sales was AED 2,000 per sqft.

That figure is a middle point across all unit types, so a studio and a three-bedroom will sit above or below it. Use it as a starting point when you compare apartments, and ask us for the details of specific recent sales.

Forty-nine recorded sales is a modest sample for a tower with 191 units across several unit types, so the price of any one apartment can sit well away from the median. Sales after 6 July 2026 are not in this figure.

The area market, in land registry figures for Barsha Heights

The figures in this section are for the whole of Barsha Heights, not for The One Tower. Across the area, Dubai Land Department recorded 442 sales over the latest 12 months, 360 of them ready and 82 of them off-plan, at a median of AED 1,908.34 per sq ft. The most recent was on 2026-05-08. You can also see recent registered transactions, and our methodology page explains how the area figures are counted.

It also registered 310 rental contracts in the area, at a median annual rent of AED 98,640.

An area median mixes towers of different ages, sizes and finishes, so it cannot tell you what an apartment in The One Tower will sell or rent for. It does show that most sales in the area in that period were of completed properties rather than new launches. For the tower itself, use the building's own sales records above and ask for recent rental figures for The One Tower specifically.

Pool, gym and play area

The One Tower has a swimming pool, a gym and a kids play area. Security is staffed 24/7. Residents have covered parking. Ask whether bays are allocated to individual apartments or shared.

If you plan to use the pool and gym often, ask about their opening hours and any rules for residents before you decide. They are shared by the tower's residents, so it is also worth asking how busy they get at peak times.

Ten checks before you rent or buy at The One Tower

The One Tower is completed, so you can inspect exactly what you are getting. A careful person would work through this list. A completed tower lets you walk the corridors, look at the lifts and the parking, and see how the pool and gym are kept, so do not rely on photographs alone.

1. Ask for the exact size and floor plan of the apartment, and which floor it is on, and ask for the unit number so you check the actual apartment. The tower has 191 units across several types, so sizes differ.
2. If you are buying, ask to see the title deed for the apartment and check that the seller's name matches it.
3. Ask for the owners' association service charge budget and what it covers, and whether the seller or landlord has any service charges outstanding.
4. Ask how many covered parking spaces come with the apartment and where they are.
5. If you are renting, get in writing what the rent includes and who pays for utilities.
6. Ask for the details of recent sales in the building. Dubai Land Department records show 49 in the latest 12 months, and a studio and a three-bedroom will sell at very different prices.
7. View the apartment at different times of day, including a weekday evening, to judge noise, light and how busy the parking is.
8. Look at the pool, gym and kids play area yourself, and ask about their opening hours.
9. Inspect the kitchen, air conditioning and plumbing, and ask for the maintenance history of the apartment.
10. If you rent, register the tenancy contract in Ejari.

Having these answers makes it much easier to compare The One Tower with other towers in Barsha Heights.

Living in a tower that has operated since 2014

The One Tower was completed in the third quarter of 2014, so it has been lived in for years, and that gives you something a new launch cannot: people you can ask. Speak to a current resident or the building's management about how quickly maintenance requests are handled, how the lifts and common areas are looked after, and whether any works are planned.

Ask the seller or landlord about the apartment itself. When was the air conditioning last serviced, has the kitchen been refitted, and is there a record of repairs? Older fittings are not a problem in themselves, but you should know about them before you agree a price or sign a lease.

If you are looking at the retail space rather than an apartment, ask how the unit is reached from the street, what use it is permitted for, and whether the lease or sale includes any parking. Retail and residential users share one building, so ask how deliveries and visitors are managed.

Take the same list to each viewing: floor, size, parking, facilities, service charge and recent sales. The One Tower has 191 units, a pool, a gym and a kids play area, with covered parking. A tower with fewer units or different facilities will have a different service charge, so compare what each charge covers and not only the amount.
