LIV Maritime Dubai Maritime City Dubai

LIV Maritime is a 47-storey residential tower in Dubai Maritime City by LIV Developers, the Dubai Marina specialist that handed over LIV Marina in May 2025. It holds 242 homes: one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments, two- and three-bedroom duplexes and townhouses, from about 681 to 2,750 sq ft. Handover is set for Q4 2028.

The developer's release sold out within a quarter of launch, from AED 1.5 million for a one-bedroom. Today you buy an original buyer's contract: the lowest resale ask we found is AED 1,710,000 (about Rs 4.40 crore), on a 10/35/55 plan with nothing after handover. This page sets out the price trail, what a resale buyer actually pays, and how the tower compares with its larger neighbours.

At a glance

Price and unit pricing

We print AED 1,710,000 because it is the lowest current ask on the portal listings we checked, and the developer has nothing left to sell. The source listing's AED 2.33 million is higher than that ask, and one project page's "from AED 3.9 million" is not tied to a unit type, so neither is the entry price today. One portal's one-bedroom page also quoted AED 3.4 million beside sizes of 865 to 2,760 sq ft, which mixes unit types; we do not rely on it. The seller's contract and LIV's records settle the price of any single unit.

The launch price appears in two forms: AED 1.5 million on project pages and USD 408,389 on another project page, the same figure at the pegged rate. Against it, the lowest resale ask is about 14% higher, and resale asks of AED 2,462 to 2,808 per sq ft sit about 12% to 27% above a launch rate near AED 2,203.

Against the district

Sources disagree on what Dubai Maritime City is worth per sq ft: one puts completed apartments at AED 1,400 to 2,200, two others at about AED 3,021. New launches around LIV Maritime run from about AED 2,350 to 2,560 at Oceanz by Danube to about AED 3,100 or more at the newest towers such as Breez by Danube. LIV Maritime's resale asks sit between the two, which is reasonable for a smaller tower with a 2028 date. The DLD transaction record is what settles it.

Payment plan and total cost

The launch plan is 10% on booking, 35% during construction and 55% at handover, with nothing after handover. That back-loads the price: more than half is due when the keys are ready, so you need cash or a UAE mortgage approval in late 2028. A mortgage for an off-plan unit is normally arranged close to handover, against the bank's valuation.

Because the release sold out, a buyer now takes over an original buyer's contract. You repay the seller what they have paid LIV, pay them their premium, and take over the remaining instalments. Many Dubai developers only allow such a transfer once a set share of the price has been paid, and charge a fee for it; neither figure for LIV is published, so ask.

Worked example: taking over the lowest ask of AED 1,710,000

This assumes a launch one-bedroom at AED 1,500,000 whose seller has paid only the 10% booking. Every construction instalment the seller has already paid adds the same amount to your day-one cash and takes it off what you owe LIV later.

LIV's own transfer charge is not in that total because no source prints it. Service charge: none is published for LIV Maritime or for the district, so ask LIV for the first-year budget per sq ft in writing; a tower with a padel court, infinity pool and 29,000 sq ft of facilities will not be at the bottom of the range.

Location and connectivity

Dubai Maritime City is a reclaimed peninsula off the old city, between Port Rashid and the Dubai Drydocks, with water on three sides. Project pages place the tower on the Arabian Gulf side. Other projects in the district quote about 15 to 20 minutes by car to Downtown and to Dubai International Airport, and DAMAC quotes 10 to 15 minutes to Downtown, DIFC and Bur Dubai from its tower at the tip.

Sheikh Rashid Road and Al Mina Road are the two ways in, with Mina Rashid and Al Seef immediately behind. There is no Metro station inside the district; the nearest stations are on the Bur Dubai side, so this is a car address for now. One 2026 note records about 16% capital appreciation in the district over twelve months.

The district is a building site and will stay one through 2029. Oceanz by Danube is due in 2027, Breez in 2029 and DAMAC's Chelsea Residences, with more than 1,400 homes, in December 2029. Expect cranes as neighbours and a large wave of new rentals and resales around your own handover. See all Dubai projects we track and the full projects list.

Amenities and specifications

LIV's own page describes open-concept plans with floor-to-ceiling windows about 3 metres high, most homes with glass corners, and amenities including a gym, a yoga studio, an infinity pool, a padel court and a residents' lounge. Other project pages add more than 29,000 sq ft of facilities: an oversized pool, a zen garden, a spa, separate steam and sauna rooms for men and women, indoor and outdoor gyms, a children's pool and a jacuzzi.

The unit mix is what sets the tower apart. Beyond one- to three-bedroom apartments of about 681 sq ft upwards, it offers two- and three-bedroom duplexes and townhouses, up to about 2,750 sq ft, which few towers in the district include. Appliances, furnishing and parking are not itemised in the sources checked, so the SPA is the binding list.

About the developer

LIV Developers (LIV Real Estate Development) has built mostly in Dubai Marina and says its roots go back to 1959. It has two deliveries: LIV Residence, finished between December 2019 and May 2020, and LIV Marina, a G+44 tower built from June 2021 and handed over in May 2025, the quarter promised at launch. No source reports a delay on either.

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 within 12 months, and says CRCC, LIV Marina's main contractor, has been reappointed for LIV Maritime. Two completed buildings is a short record, and this is one of LIV's first towers outside the Marina, so the on-time delivery at LIV Marina is the best evidence you have.

For Indian buyers

Ownership. Dubai Maritime City is freehold and open to all nationalities. The purchase is registered on Oqood now and becomes a DLD title deed in your name at handover; there is no annual property tax and no VAT on a residential sale.

Remittance. Each person can remit USD 250,000 per financial year under the LRS. On the worked example, the day-one cash of about AED 468,550 is about USD 127,600, well inside one allowance, and the AED 525,000 of construction instalments is about USD 143,000 spread over the build. The AED 825,000 due at handover is about USD 224,600, which fits one person's allowance only if nothing else is sent that year, so a couple has more room; TCS of 20% above Rs 10 lakh a year is adjusted against your income tax.

Golden Visa. The threshold is AED 2 million of property. The lowest ask of AED 1,710,000 falls about AED 290,000 short; two-bedrooms and larger units clear it. Confirm with the DLD how an off-plan unit is treated before you rely on it.

Rent and tax. There is no rent until 2029. District gross yields of 6% to 7.5% are quoted on completed stock bought at lower prices, so expect less at a resale price near AED 2,500 per sq ft. Rent is taxable in India for a resident at your slab rate after the 30% standard deduction, and the UAE levies nothing on it.

Pros

• Only 242 homes, against towers of 1,000 or more units going up around it
• LIV delivered its last tower in the quarter promised, and the same main contractor is building this one
• 55% falls at handover, so less of your money is tied up during construction
• Resale asks of about AED 2,462 - 2,808 per sq ft sit below the implied rates at some newer launches in the district
• Nothing to pay after handover, and duplexes and townhouses are rare in the district

Cons

• The developer's release sold out, so you pay a premium - about AED 210,000 over the launch one-bedroom on the lowest ask
• 55% at handover is a large lump: AED 825,000 on a launch-priced one-bedroom, due in 2028
• Main tower works were only due to start in October 2025, which leaves little slack for Q4 2028
• DLD project number, escrow bank and service charge are not published
• Heavy supply: several thousand homes in the district are due between 2027 and 2029
• No Metro station inside Dubai Maritime City

Who this is for

• Buyers who want a small, 242-home tower in Dubai Maritime City from a developer with a recent on-time delivery
• Buyers with cash or mortgage capacity for a large payment at handover
• Families looking at the duplexes and townhouses, which few towers in the district offer
• Long-horizon investors happy to wait until late 2028 for rent

Who should look elsewhere

• Anyone who needs keys or rent before 2029
• Buyers who want to spread the cost after handover
• Studio buyers - the smallest unit here is a one-bedroom of about 681 sq ft
• Anyone unwilling to check the seller's paid-in amount and LIV's transfer terms

Our verdict

LIV Maritime is a small tower from a developer that has just delivered one on time, and that combination is uncommon in a district filling up with 1,000-unit launches. The catch is that the launch price is gone: all 242 homes sold within a quarter, so you buy a contract from an original buyer at a premium, about 14% on the lowest one-bedroom ask. At about AED 2,462 to 2,808 per sq ft on resale, it still prices below the implied rates at some newer launches next door. The 55% handover payment is the plan's real test, because it lands in one lump in 2028. The missing DLD number, escrow bank and service charge are the gaps to close before you sign.

Worth a look for a buyer who wants a smaller building in Dubai Maritime City and can fund a large handover payment in cash or with a UAE mortgage. Before paying, get the seller's statement of what has been paid to LIV, LIV's written transfer terms, and the DLD number and escrow bank. If you need a post-handover plan or rent before 2029, look elsewhere.
