GOOD TO KNOW

Common questions about Maryam Island.

What yield can I expect?+

Yield for a studio / 1BR: 6–6.5%. For a 2–3BR: 5.5–6%.

What is the entry price?+

Studio: from AED 415K. 1BR: from AED 540K. 2BR: from AED 1M. 3BR: from AED 1.6M.

Who is Maryam Island best suited to?+

It suits budget-conscious waterfront investors priced out of Dubai Marina or Palm Jumeirah, and expats who work in Dubai but want lower housing costs. With Bur Dubai roughly 15 minutes away over the bridge, the island draws steady rental demand from professionals commuting into Dubai while enjoying promenade, marina and Gulf-view living on the Al Khan coast.

How strong is rental demand here?+

Demand is driven by affordable waterfront living and proximity to Dubai. Studios and one-bedrooms — the most liquid sizes — show yields of 6–6.5%, slightly above the larger 2–3BR units at 5.5–6%. The 900-metre promenade, marinas and on-site retail make smaller units attractive to tenants seeking a lifestyle location at a Sharjah price point.

Can I buy off-plan with a payment plan?+

Yes. Maryam Island is an Eagle Hills development with handovers between 2026 and 2028, so several projects are off-plan. Developers in the UAE typically offer interest-free payment plans such as 60/40 or 70/30, sometimes with post-handover instalments, and off-plan buyer funds are held in RERA-regulated escrow. Speak to Palmera for the current plan on each tower.

Does buying here qualify me for a UAE residency visa?+

Property ownership can support UAE residency. A purchase of AED 750K or more can qualify for a 2-year investor visa, while AED 2M+ unlocks the 10-year Golden Visa. Entry-level studios from AED 415K sit below those thresholds, but larger 2–3BR homes from AED 1M can move you toward the AED 2M Golden Visa level. Confirm eligibility case by case.
