Al Hassani Tower TECOM

Al Hassani Tower is a mid-rise residential building in Barsha Heights, the district still widely known as TECOM, in the heart of new Dubai. This guide covers what the tower is, the homes and amenities it offers, its location and connectivity, and the practical checks for renting or buying there, with clear pointers to the official channels you should verify against.

What Al Hassani Tower is

Al Hassani Tower is a mid-rise residential building in Barsha Heights, a central Dubai district branded TECOM after the technology and media free zone cluster around it. The tower is a completed, occupied building rather than an off-plan project, offering apartments for rent and, where the title permits, for sale. Its scale is typical of the area: a self-contained residential tower with a lobby, lifts, parking and shared amenities, aimed at professionals and small families who want to live centrally.

The building was completed in the late 2010s and offers one and two bedroom layouts. As with any single building, the honest picture of daily life there comes from the specific unit, floor and management, so use this guide for the district-level context and verify the tower-level detail on viewing.

Homes and layouts

Al Hassani Tower focuses on one and two bedroom apartments, the mainstay of the Barsha Heights rental market. Apartments in the area generally offer practical layouts with balconies, fitted kitchens and built-in wardrobes, suited to singles, couples and small families. If you are comparing sizes and budgets across the district, our guides to apartments for rent in Dubai and, for smaller budgets, studios for rent in Dubai set out the tenant checks that apply everywhere.

Because a single tower offers a limited spread of layouts, your choice is usually about floor, view and orientation rather than a wide range of designs. Higher floors and better-oriented units typically command more, and corner or larger two-bedroom units sit at the top of the building's range.

Amenities and building facilities

Residential towers in Barsha Heights commonly include a gym, a swimming pool, covered parking, high-speed lifts, and around-the-clock security and reception. Al Hassani Tower follows this pattern, with shared leisure facilities and building services typical of the district. Because exactly what is included, and its condition, varies from tower to tower, confirm on viewing which amenities are available to residents, how well maintained they are, and what the service charge or rent covers.

Location and connectivity

Barsha Heights sits centrally in new Dubai, wedged between Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Khail Road, next to Dubai Internet City, Dubai Media City and the Barsha and Al Barsha neighbourhoods. From Al Hassani Tower, both major highways are close, giving quick access across the city, and a metro station on the Dubai Internet City side puts public transport within reach.

The trade-off of a central location beside major roads is traffic and noise at peak times, so drive your commute and visit at different hours before committing. For the wider neighbourhood context, the district is described on the Al Barsha reference page, which covers Barsha Heights and its place in the surrounding area.

Renting in Al Hassani Tower

Most residents rent. Annual rents depend on the unit size, floor, view, condition and the market at the time. One bedroom apartments sit at the accessible end and two bedroom units above them, but the spread is wide and moves with the market, so treat any single figure as indicative.

On process, a Dubai tenancy must be registered through Ejari, the official rental registration system, which you need to connect utilities and to rely on in a dispute. Confirm the Ejari registration, understand the cheque schedule and any agency fee, and keep copies of everything. Cross-check comparable asking rents in the same and nearby towers before you negotiate.

Buying: ownership status and fees

Barsha Heights contains a mix of freehold and leasehold buildings, and freehold eligibility for non-GCC nationals applies to some towers but not all. That makes tower-level verification essential: before you commit to buy in Al Hassani Tower, confirm the exact ownership type and whether you are eligible with the Dubai Land Department, and do not rely on a verbal assurance.

If a purchase is possible and you are eligible, budget for the standard Dubai Land Department fee of 4 percent of the property value, plus registration, trustee, agency and any mortgage costs. These figures are current guidance as of 2026 and subject to change, so confirm the exact schedule on the official DLD portal.

How Al Hassani Tower compares in TECOM

Barsha Heights offers a range of residential towers at different price points, from mid-market buildings to larger managed developments. Al Hassani Tower sits in the practical, centrally located mid-market segment. Buyers and renters comparing options often look at nearby managed towers such as DAMAC Executive Heights in TECOM and DAMAC Smart Heights in TECOM, which gives a useful sense of how the district's buildings differ on amenities, service charges and price.
