LIV Marina Dubai Marina Dubai

LIV Marina is a finished residential tower on the Dubai Marina waterfront, built by LIV Developers, the Marina specialist behind LIV Residence and LIV LUX. It rises to G+44 and holds one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments plus a top tier of penthouses. Construction began in June 2021 and the tower was handed over in May 2025, the second quarter LIV had promised at launch.

The developer's stock sold out, so you now buy from an owner. Resale one-bedrooms of about 746 to 915 sq ft are asked from AED 2,499,500 (about Rs 6.44 crore), and two-bedrooms of about 1,308 sq ft from AED 4,100,000. This page works through what a resale one-bedroom really costs, what it can earn, and how it compares with LIV's older tower in the same community.

At a glance

Price and unit pricing

We print AED 2,499,500 because it is the lowest one-bedroom ask on the resale listings we checked, and the source listing prints no price. The listings do not tie that ask to a size, so the rate is a range: about AED 2,730 per sq ft if it is a 915 sq ft plan, about AED 3,350 if it is the 746 sq ft plan. Asks are the seller's opening number; the DLD transaction record for LIV Marina is what settles what units actually trade for.

A portal's summary of recorded sales averages one-bedroom sales at AED 2,792,376 and all apartments at AED 3,415,716, with 51 apartment sales in the last 12 months and asking prices up about 6%. Roughly one sale a week is a working resale market.

Older figures still circulate. Launch-era pages quote one-bedrooms from AED 1.5 million, and one broker page lists studios from AED 1.1 million, a unit type missing from LIV's own list; both describe off-plan pricing from 2021 and 2022. The developer's final release priced a two-bedroom from AED 4,729,548, and two-bedrooms now resell from less.

Against the Marina, and against LIV's older tower

Dubai Marina apartments average about AED 1,948 per sq ft on one market index, so LIV Marina's entry one-bedroom trades 40% to 72% above the community average. That is the price of a 2025 building in a community whose towers mostly date from the 2000s. In LIV Residence, LIV's older tower in the Marina, one-bedrooms of 919 to 991 sq ft are asked from AED 2,300,000, and two building pages put the average at about AED 2,500 to 2,683 per sq ft. You get more room for less there; you pay here for a newer tower and a newer amenities floor.

Payment plan and total cost

There is no developer payment plan at LIV Marina; the launch plan closed when the tower was finished. A resale buyer signs the Form F, the standard Dubai sale contract, pays a deposit of usually 10%, and pays the balance at transfer at a DLD registration trustee office. A UAE mortgage is open to non-residents, and the bank's valuation, not the seller's ask, sets the loan.

Worked example: the AED 2,499,500 one-bedroom, bought for cash

The fees come to about AED 157,750, or 6.3% on top of the price, and only the price is negotiable. Any service-charge arrears must be cleared before the transfer. With a mortgage, add 0.25% of the loan plus AED 290 for its registration.

Service charge: no figure for LIV Marina appears in the sources checked. Dubai Marina averages about AED 16.10 per sq ft a year, with buildings from AED 14 to AED 28, so a 746 sq ft one-bedroom pays about AED 12,000 at the average and about AED 20,900 at the top. Ask the seller for the latest invoice before you sign.

Location and connectivity

LIV Marina stands on the Dubai Marina waterfront. One project page places it within walking distance of Marina Walk and of the Grosvenor House and Ritz-Carlton hotels, and LIV's own page leads on uninterrupted water views through full-height windows. Typical drive times quoted for this part of the Marina are about 5 minutes to JBR and the beach, 10 to 15 minutes to Palm Jumeirah, 20 to 25 minutes to Downtown and about 30 minutes to Dubai International Airport.

The Dubai Metro Red Line runs along Sheikh Zayed Road, with the DMCC and Jumeirah Lakes Towers stations about 5 to 10 minutes away, and the Dubai Tram loops through the community. Tenants come from Media City, Internet City and JLT, and from short-stay visitors.

The Marina is fully built, with shops, restaurants and the waterfront promenade already running, so there is no master-plan risk. The pressure is supply: LIV itself is building LIV LUX and has launched LIV Waterside in the same community, and every new tower competes with this one for tenants. For the wider market, see all Dubai projects we track or the full projects list.

Amenities and specifications

LIV describes one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments and "signature penthouses", each with full-height windows and open-air balconies. The building's own amenities page sits on LIV's site; project pages list a gym, a temperature-controlled pool, spa facilities and children's play areas. One developer profile adds music and gaming rooms that it calls the first of their kind.

The penthouse tier tops out at a four-bedroom of about 9,124 sq ft, priced from AED 46,999,548 in LIV's final release; the one-bedroom plans start at about 746 sq ft.

You are buying a nearly new but used flat, and some were furnished for holiday lets. Dubai's jointly owned property law gives one year of cover on installations and ten years on structural defects from completion; the first has run out or is about to, so pay for a snagging inspection and confirm the parking bay on the title deed.

About the developer

LIV Developers (LIV Real Estate Development) builds mostly in Dubai Marina and says its roots go back to 1959. It has two delivered buildings. LIV Residence, a 28-storey tower of 179 homes, was built from September 2016 and finished between December 2019 and May 2020, depending on the source. LIV Marina followed, built from June 2021 with CRCC as main contractor and handed over in May 2025.

A construction trade report puts LIV's pipeline at AED 3.8 billion, with about AED 2.3 billion of homes, including 640 apartments, due for delivery within 12 months, and says it has a 100% sell-out record. Its projects now include LIV LUX in the Marina, LIV Waterside, LIV Oceanside on Dubai Islands with an October 2027 date, and LIV Maritime, where CRCC has been hired again.

Two completed buildings is a short record, though no source prints a delay on either. For a resale buyer it matters less: the tower is finished and an owners' association runs it.

For Indian buyers

Ownership. Dubai Marina is freehold, so an Indian buyer, resident in the UAE or not, gets a DLD title deed in their own name. The UAE charges no annual property tax and no VAT on a residential sale; the main government cost is the 4% DLD transfer fee, AED 99,980 on the entry one-bedroom.

Remittance. The Liberalised Remittance Scheme lets each person send USD 250,000 per financial year, and the one-bedroom is about USD 723,600 with fees, more than a couple's USD 500,000. With a 50% UAE mortgage the cash needed falls to about AED 1.41 million, roughly USD 384,000, which a couple can remit in one year. TCS of 20% on remittances above Rs 10 lakh a year is adjusted against your income tax.

Golden Visa. The threshold is AED 2 million of property, and every one-bedroom ask we saw clears it; the entry ask is AED 499,500 over the line. Because the building is complete, you can apply once the title deed is in your name.

Rent and tax. One project page puts the return at up to 5.73%, about AED 143,200 a year on AED 2,499,500. After a service charge near AED 12,000 that is about 5.2% net, before vacancy and management. The UAE does not tax the rent; an Indian tax resident declares it in India, with the 30% standard deduction, and reports the flat as a foreign asset.

Pros

• Finished in May 2025: no build risk, and rent can start the month you complete
• The newest completed tower in LIV's Marina portfolio, with full-height glass and waterfront views
• 51 apartment sales in 12 months on one portal's summary, so there is a working resale market
• Every one-bedroom ask, from AED 2,499,500, clears the AED 2 million Golden Visa threshold
• Delivered in the quarter promised at launch, by a contractor LIV has hired again

Cons

• About AED 2,730 to 3,350 per sq ft on the entry one-bedroom, at least 40% above the Dubai Marina average of about AED 1,948
• No payment plan: the full price plus about 6.3% in fees is due at transfer
• Service charge not published; Marina towers run from AED 14 to AED 28 per sq ft a year
• One-bedrooms from 746 sq ft are smaller than LIV Residence's 919 - 991 sq ft one-bedrooms, which ask less
• New LIV supply in the same community (LIV LUX, LIV Waterside) will compete for tenants and buyers

Who this is for

• Golden Visa buyers who want a ready Dubai Marina unit priced above AED 2 million
• Investors who want Marina rent from a 2025 building now, not in 2028
• End users who want a new tower in a finished community with Metro and tram
• Buyers who want to inspect the exact flat before they pay

Who should look elsewhere

• Buyers who need a developer payment plan to spread the cost
• Price-per-foot buyers: LIV Residence and older Marina towers give more space per dirham
• Yield maximisers: at these prices gross yields sit near the bottom of the Marina band
• Anyone who will not pay for a snagging inspection and a service-charge check

Our verdict

LIV Marina is finished, so the question is not whether the developer will deliver but whether a flat is worth its ask. You pay a new-building premium: the entry one-bedroom works out at AED 2,730 to 3,350 per sq ft against a Marina average near AED 1,948, and LIV's older tower offers bigger one-bedrooms for less. What the premium buys is a 2025 tower with full-height glass, a new amenities floor and about 51 sales a year. Every one-bedroom ask also clears the AED 2 million Golden Visa line. The missing service charge is the gap to close before an offer.

Buy here if you want a ready, new Dubai Marina unit that clears the Golden Visa threshold and you can pay in full or with a UAE mortgage. Offer against recent DLD transactions, not the asking price, and get the service charge in writing first. If price per foot or yield matters more than the age of the building, compare LIV Residence and older Marina towers before you commit.

FAQs

What is the price of LIV Marina?

One portal's transaction summary averages one-bedroom sales at AED 2,792,376 and all apartments at AED 3,415,716. The DLD's transaction record for the tower is the check on any ask.

Is LIV Marina ready, and is there a payment plan?

Yes, it is ready. The tower was handed over in May 2025, so there is no developer plan: you pay the seller in full at transfer, in cash or with a UAE mortgage, plus the 4% DLD transfer fee - AED 99,980 on the AED 2,499,500 one-bedroom.

What is the service charge at LIV Marina?

Not published by the sources checked. Dubai Marina averages about AED 16.10 per sq ft a year, with buildings from AED 14 to AED 28. On a 746 sq ft one-bedroom that is about AED 12,000 at the average and about AED 20,900 at the top of the range. Ask the seller for the latest invoice.

What rent can a LIV Marina apartment earn?

One project page puts the return at up to 5.73%. On AED 2,499,500 that is about AED 143,200 a year gross, or about 5.2% after a service charge near AED 12,000. Dubai Marina apartments generally earn 5% to 7% gross; check current tenancy contracts before relying on a figure.

Does LIV Marina qualify for the Golden Visa?

Every one-bedroom ask we saw is above the AED 2 million threshold. Because the building is complete, you can apply once the title deed is in your name; confirm with the DLD how a mortgage affects eligibility.

How is LIV Marina different from LIV Residence and LIV LUX?

All three are LIV buildings in Dubai Marina. LIV Residence is the older 28-storey tower, finished around the end of 2019, with larger one-bedrooms asked from AED 2,300,000; LIV LUX is still under construction.
