The cluster is known locally by the names of its five constituent buildings and is recorded in Dubai Land Department transaction listings.
Canal Residence West sits within Dubai Sports City and occupies a canal-side position on the development’s promenade. The scheme is described as a collection of five major apartment buildings: Venetian Building, European Building, Mediterranean Building, Spanish Building and Arabian Building.

Public-transport access: the nearest Dubai Metro line is the Red Line; a station identified by code R73 is approximately 6,323 metres from the location (distance rounded from the available figure).
