TL;DR: Arena Apartments, also known as Arena Tower, is a completed 12-storey residential building in Dubai Sports City, developed by BSCPL Infrastructure (Bollineni Developers). Delivered in Q2 2015, the tower offers 110 freehold residential units across studios (576 sqft from AED 350,000), 1-bedrooms (947 sqft from AED 700,000), and 2-bedrooms (1,022 sqft from AED 970,000). All units enjoy direct views of the Ernie Els-designed Els Club championship golf course. On-site amenities include a pool, Jacuzzi, sauna, steam room, gymnasium, children's nursery, and landscaped gardens. The building is highly regarded as pet-friendly, attracting Dubai's growing pet-owning professional tenant demographic.
Arena Apartments stands as one of Dubai Sports City's most established and community-embedded residential towers — a 12-storey building that has been housing an active, engaged community of sports lifestyle residents since its 2015 delivery. Developed by BSCPL Infrastructure, the real estate development arm of Bollineni Group — a multinational Indian conglomerate with operations spanning construction, real estate, and cement manufacturing — Arena Apartments was designed to deliver practical, high-quality residential living at the heart of one of Dubai's most distinctive master communities.
For residents, Arena Apartments' most compelling attribute is its positioning adjacent to the Els Club by Ernie Els — the 18-hole championship golf course designed by one of the sport's greatest legends. Every apartment in the building captures golf course views, creating an ever-present green visual backdrop that brings a resort-like tranquility to daily urban living. For sports lifestyle enthusiasts, this direct visual and physical connection to championship golf is an irreplaceable residential amenity.
For investors, the building's established secondary market pricing, documented rental demand from Dubai Sports City's specialized professional community, and pet-friendly policy — which expands the addressable tenant pool — combine to create a solid income-generating residential investment at price points well below Dubai's mid-market average.
Dubai Sports City is positioned in the Al Hebiah zone of Dubailand — a master-planned district dedicated to sports, fitness, and active lifestyle. The community is accessed via Hessa Street (D61) and connected to Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311), providing efficient routing to Dubai's broader metropolitan area.

Arena Apartments' location near the Els Club golf course means residents have both the visual pleasure of golf course views and the practical option of using the course's facilities. The broader Dubai Sports City community's sports infrastructure — cricket, football, tennis, athletics, swimming academies — is all accessible within the community boundary, supporting a lifestyle of athletic engagement that few other Dubai residential communities can match.
Arena Apartments is designed as a clean, contemporary mid-rise residential building with a 12-storey profile that allows for efficient access across all floors while maintaining a community-scale intimacy that tower-format buildings cannot replicate.
