Emaar Beachfront

Emaar Beachfront is an island community at Dubai Harbour with 27 residential towers and 10,000 homes planned. Those are Emaar's figures for the full plan, so they do not count what has been delivered. Listing data checked on 5 Nov 2026 counts 13 building developments, some with more than one tower, so the two figures can't be compared directly.

• Developer: Emaar Properties

• Location: between Dubai Marina and Palm Jumeirah, near Sheikh Zayed Road

• Beach: 1.5 km

• Homes: mainly apartments and penthouses, with townhouses and villas in a few projects

Later towers can change the outlook from a building you buy into, so ask what is planned in front of the unit.

Most homes are one- to four-bedroom apartments, with penthouses in selected towers. Townhouses and villas exist in a few projects only.

This is what Emaar's project pages showed on 5 Nov 2026. Confirm the unit type in the sale documents, because the same home can be described differently from one listing to the next.

Choose by tower, floor and view first. A community figure will not price a specific apartment, and it says little about what you will see from the balcony.

• Ready-to-move apartments: according to listing data checked on 5 Nov 2026, Beach Vista, Sunrise Bay, Marina Vista, Grand Bleu Tower, Beach Isle and Palace Beach Residence are complete. You can inspect the view and the building, then check real service charges and current rents.

• Branded apartments: Emaar lists Address-branded homes at Beachgate, Address Residences The Bay and Bayview. Ask which hotel-style services are included, and how much they add to running costs.

• Penthouses: compare internal and terrace areas, lift access and maintenance obligations separately, because median prices by bedroom will not capture them.

• Off-plan apartments: confirm the registered project, payment milestones and contractual completion terms. An off-plan home earns no rent before completion.

Emaar Beachfront has townhouses and villas, but only in a few projects, and it is not a villa community. Emaar lists 3-bedroom townhouses at Address Residences The Bay, townhouses at Beach Mansion and villas at Beach Isle. According to listing data checked on 5 Nov 2026, the Beach Mansion townhouses and Beach Isle villas have 3 to 4 bedrooms.

• How many: Emaar's pages do not publish a count.

• Layout: do not assume a private garden or a plot of your own. Ask for the floor plan, and how the home connects to the tower.

• Prices: we could not find a reliable published median for these homes. On 5 Nov 2026, Emaar's site showed one Beach Mansion unit left, from AED 9,513,888 and listed at 2,013 sq ft and 3 bedrooms across its pages, an asking price on a page whose type field reads Villas.

• Rents: we could not find a reliable published figure. Ask for recent Ejari contracts for the same home type in the same project.

Details below are as advertised by Emaar on 5 Nov 2026 unless stated. Status comes from listing data checked the same day. Confirm price, availability and completion terms for the unit you are offered.

• Complete: Beach Vista, Sunrise Bay, Marina Vista, Grand Bleu Tower, Beach Isle and Palace Beach Residence.

• Under development: Address Residences The Bay, Beachgate by Address, Seapoint, Bayview by Address Resorts and The Bristol.

Projects on our site:

• Beachgate by Address: a branded tower with 1 to 4-bedroom apartments, 4-bedroom penthouses and duplex penthouses.

• Bayview by Address Resorts: from AED 3,300,888, with 8 units shown as available. See also Tower 2.

• The Bristol: 227 branded apartments, four penthouses and a five-star lifestyle hotel, from AED 3,660,000.

• Palace Beach Residence Tower 2: listing data shows Palace Beach Residence as complete but gives no status by tower. Confirm the status of this tower and the specific unit.

For launch prices and payment plans, see our Emaar Beachfront project guide.

These figures are transacted sales and Ejari rents for 1 Nov 2025 to 28 Oct 2026, according to market data based on DLD records. They cover Emaar homes at Dubai Harbour across towers.

Rents come from 1,504 Ejari contracts. Prices can differ widely within one building depending on floor and view, so compare recent sales in the same tower.

Service charges: according to listing data published in June 2026, about AED 22 to 28 per sq ft a year depending on the tower. Treat this as a rough guide, ask the seller for the latest invoice and check the approved charge with DLD. Budget too for the 4% DLD fee. Ahyan Real Estate can share recent transactions for the towers you are considering.

Treat this as a location and capital decision, because the yield is modest. On the median figures above, gross yield is roughly 5% before service charges, and net income will be lower after service charges, maintenance, letting costs and vacancy. Appreciation and occupancy are not guaranteed.

• Ready or off-plan: ready homes had a median about 24% below off-plan per sq ft in the period above. The two groups differ in tower and specification, so this is not a like-for-like discount.

• New supply: listing data checked on 5 Nov 2026 shows several projects still under development, and Emaar's plan is for 27 towers. No source gives a delivery schedule for the rest, so ask what is planned around the unit.

• Dubai market: The National reported on 7 Oct 2026 that S&P said prices fell 5 to 15% from end-2025 to September 2026, citing industry reports, and that it expects apartment prices to fall faster than villa prices. S&P has also said 2027 to 2028 deliveries could accelerate the correction, and that prices could stabilize if regional risk eases in 2027.

• Transactions: Cavendish Maxwell put Q3 2026 Dubai deals at about 34,000 worth AED 72.6 billion, down 38% and 47% year on year.

Golden Visa: a purchase value of at least AED 2 million can support an application, subject to DLD conditions. It is not automatic. Press reports say off-plan can qualify once registered through Oqood, but official wording differs, so confirm with DLD before relying on it. The test applies to the purchase value of the specific home, so check the actual price. See the Golden Visa guide and the two-year visa update. For off-plan and ready trade-offs, read off-plan vs ready property.

Expect to rely on a car or taxi. Times below are approximate, according to listing data, most of it updated on 17 Jul 2026, and they vary with traffic and tower.

• Road: the community is near Sheikh Zayed Road. The RTA opened a 1,500 m bridge on 19 Jun 2026 from Interchange 5 on Sheikh Zayed Road to Dubai Harbour Street, and says it cuts the journey in that area from 12 minutes to 3.

• Dubai Metro: no station in the community. Al Khail, Sobha Realty and DMCC stations are about 11 to 14 minutes by car.

• Dubai Tram: Mena Seyahi about 5 minutes and Media City about 6 minutes by car.

• Dubai Marina: about 7 minutes.

• JBR: about 11 minutes.

• Palm Jumeirah: about 15 minutes.

• Downtown Dubai: about 21 minutes.

• Dubai International Airport (DXB): about 26 to 30 minutes.

• Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC): about 34 minutes.

Test the route from your tower at the hours you would really travel.

Daily life revolves around the 1.5 km beach, sea views and building facilities. It suits buyers who want a waterfront apartment close to Dubai Marina and are comfortable driving for schools.

• Beach: confirm how the specific building reaches it, and any rules or charges, in the documents for that unit.

• Tower facilities: these differ by building. Address Residences The Bay, for example, advertises a beach pool, kids' pool, hotel gym access and barbecue area.

• Retail: Emaar lists a 13,000 sqm retail mall for the community. Ask what is open today.

• Parking: Emaar says residents have dedicated parking within buildings and villas, and that nearby public spaces can fill up quickly. Check the allocation for the unit, and where visitors can park.

• Nearby: Dubai Harbour, Dubai Marina Walk, Dubai Marina Mall, Marina Beach and JBR.

Plan on a school run outside the community. According to listing data checked on 5 Nov 2026, schools within about 4 km include:

• Dubai College, about 3.0 km

• The International School of Choueifat Dubai, about 3.2 km

• Regent International School, about 3.5 km

• GEMS Dubai American Academy, about 4.1 km

Those are distances, so drive the route during school hours. Confirm year groups, places and fees with the school, and read its latest KHDA report. Looking for an apartment, penthouse or townhouse here? Contact Ahyan Real Estate for a dated shortlist.
