THAT FITS YOUR LIFE. 03 / PROPERTY TYPES & CLUSTERS
Homes are apartments only, from one to four bedrooms, with four-bedroom penthouses in selected buildings. Earlier phases share an Arabian-inspired design with wind towers and courtyards, while newer buildings take a more contemporary look. Meraas describes the community as freehold; we can confirm the title deed, floor plan and handover status for any home you shortlist.

A COASTAL ADDRESS. A CONSIDERED CHOICE. 07 / BUYING & INVESTMENT PERSPECTIVE
DEMAND, SUPPLY & THE LONGER VIEW Demand comes from residents seeking new apartments in an established coastal area close to good schools and Dubai Marina. New phases due over the coming years add supply, which can widen choice and increase competition for tenants and resale buyers. Off-plan handover timings vary by project; we can share the latest progress. Rental returns and future price growth are not assured.
PRACTICAL COSTS & COMMUNITY RULES Service charges, DEWA bills and cooling costs vary by building and community; we can share current details for any home you shortlist. Cooling providers and who pays each charge vary by building. Parking allocation, visitor access, pet rules, moving permits and alteration approvals are set by the building manager; we can confirm them for a specific home.
