Maritime City

Rental yields for 1BR apartments: 6.5–7.5%. For 2–3BR units: 5.5–6.5%. With short-term rentals (Airbnb) and sea views: 7–9%.

1BR apartment: AED 1.4–2.5 million. 2BR apartment: AED 2.5–4.5 million. Penthouses: AED 6–12 million.

It suits investors who want genuine Arabian Gulf waterfront within ~15 minutes of Downtown and ~10 of DIFC. Sea-view units perform strongly as short-term rentals (7–9%), appealing to tourists, while the freehold status with 100% foreign ownership draws international buyers. Given an entry price from AED 1.4 million, it favours medium-to-long-term holders over those chasing the lowest possible entry point.

Yes. With property from AED 2 million you can apply for the 10-year Golden Visa, and most 2BR apartments and all penthouses clear that threshold comfortably. From AED 750,000 a 2-year renewable residency visa is available, which the AED 1.4 million-plus entry price easily satisfies. Buying through a RERA escrow-protected project keeps your funds safeguarded throughout.

Expect a one-time 4% Dubai Land Department (DLD) transfer fee at registration and no annual property tax. Service charges here run roughly 18–25 AED per sq ft, reflecting the luxury waterfront amenities. On off-plan towers, developers typically offer interest-free 60/40 or post-handover plans, letting you stage payments through construction rather than funding the full price upfront.

Both exist. Off-plan towers (around AED 3,054 per sq ft) suit buyers who want interest-free payment plans and entry before completion, accepting a construction wait on this still-developing peninsula. Ready sea-view units let you start earning the 6–7.5% rental yield immediately and inspect the finished product. Short-term-rental investors often prefer ready stock to capture tourist demand without delay.
