Marina Views Mina Rashid Dubai

Marina Views is Emaar's three-tower release at Rashid Yachts & Marina, the district being built out of Port Rashid in Bur Dubai. Three towers rise from basement and podium levels to 19 to 22 floors and hold 545 residences — one to four-bedroom apartments of about 724 to 2,977 sq ft. One-bedrooms are quoted from AED 1,650,000 (about Rs 4.25 crore), two-bedrooms from AED 2.52 million, three-bedrooms from AED 4.30 million and four-bedrooms from AED 9,100,000, on an 80/20 plan with handover printed for Q4 2028.

This is the cheapest way into the district's 2028 handovers and the largest building in it. At about AED 2,279 per sq ft the entry apartment is the lowest rate of Emaar's current Rashid Yachts & Marina releases, roughly 10% below the district's December 2025 average. The trade is scale: 545 homes across three towers means the longest resale queue in the master plan, and at AED 1,650,000 the entry apartment sits AED 350,000 short of the AED 2 million Golden Visa threshold.

At a glance

Price and unit pricing

The entry rate is the reason to read this page. About AED 2,279 per sq ft is at the bottom of the AED 2,200 to 4,500 band the district's 2022 to 2025 launches sold at, and roughly 10% below the AED 2,520 the district averaged in December 2025 — while newer releases in the same master plan ask 2,500 to 2,800 for the same Q4 2028 handover.

The four-bedroom tells the other half of the story. AED 9,100,000 against the top of the size range implies about AED 3,056 per sq ft — a third more than the entry unit, which is how Emaar prices the high floors and the marina views. No source publishes sizes per bedroom count, only the 724 to 2,977 sq ft range for the whole scheme, so Emaar's price list with size against price by floor is the document that settles what you are buying.

Payment plan and total cost

80/20: 10% on booking, 70% through construction, 20% on handover. Nothing falls due after the keys. Worked on the AED 1,650,000 entry apartment:

Spread evenly the 70% slice is about AED 42,800 a month over the roughly 27 months to Q4 2028, and it will not be spread evenly: Emaar ties instalments to build milestones, so two can land in one quarter. Ask for the milestone schedule in writing. The AED 1.72 million total is the lowest all-in entry of Emaar's current 2028 handovers here.

Service charges are the unpublished cost. No rate has been released for Rashid Yachts & Marina, and district projections run AED 20 to 30 per sq ft a year — among the highest in Dubai, because a buyer pays for a 430-berth marina and a managed public realm as well as a building. On 724 sq ft that is AED 14,480 to 21,720 a year before utilities, a heavy drag on a low entry price.

Location and connectivity

Port Rashid was Dubai's first commercial harbour. Emaar and P&O Marinas are turning about 6.8 million sq ft of it into six mixed-use districts carrying a 430-berth marina for yachts up to 100 m, 4 km of promenade, the 12,600 sq m Mina Beach and a 500 m canal pool, with the QE2 moored alongside as a floating hotel.

Guides put DIFC at about 8 minutes, Downtown at 12 and Dubai International Airport at 15 — closer to the working city than Dubai Marina, Emaar Beachfront or Dubai Creek Harbour. Al Ghubaiba on the Green Line is the nearest metro today, and the Gold Line approved in April 2026 — 42 km and 18 stations from Al Ghubaiba — lists Mina Rashid on its route. That line is planned, not running, so treat it as upside.

Three towers of 19 to 22 floors make this one of the taller clusters in a district of mid-rise podium blocks: the upper floors look over the marina, the lower ones into the master plan's own building sites for years yet. For comparison in the same district, Marina Place 2 is about 179 homes from AED 2,080,000 with the same Q4 2028 handover, and Seagate is the district's 2022 release from AED 1,110,888. Everything we track in the emirate is on all Dubai projects, and the wider list is on the projects page.

Amenities and specifications

Quoted for the towers: an infinity pool facing the marina, a gym, recreational courts, a waterfront plaza, a canal pool, a children's splash park and landscaped gardens across the shared podium. The master plan adds the promenade, the marina berths, Mina Beach and the retail being built along the water.

Every apartment is quoted with a balcony and its own laundry room; three and four-bedroom homes add walk-in wardrobes and a study. Not published in the sources checked: sizes by bedroom count, the fit-out and appliance schedule, parking allocation per home, the service-charge budget or the escrow bank. Final specification as per the sale and purchase agreement.

About the developer

Emaar Properties builds here through Mina Rashid Properties. It is Dubai's largest developer — Burj Khalifa, Dubai Mall, Downtown Dubai, Dubai Marina and Emaar Beachfront are all its work — and the published counts are large: more than 120,000 homes delivered worldwide since 1997, about 66,000 of them in Dubai as of September 2023, across more than 180 completed buildings in the city.

One analysis puts about 80% of Emaar projects within six months of the stated handover date, against a market average nearer 55% to 60%, and its reported revenue backlog of AED 163.4 billion at 31 March 2026 is why its buildings finish. For a 545-home scheme completing in late 2028, that depth is most of what the district premium buys.

For Indian buyers

Ownership. Mina Rashid is freehold and open to every nationality, resident or not, with the title deed issued by the Dubai Land Department in your own name. The UAE charges no annual property tax and a residential sale does not attract VAT, so the government cost is the 4% DLD transfer fee — AED 66,000 here — plus the AED 40 Oqood fee.

Golden Visa and remittance. At AED 1,650,000 the one-bedroom is AED 350,000 short of the AED 2 million threshold; the two-bedroom at AED 2.52 million clears it, and that step up is the honest cost of the visa here. The Liberalised Remittance Scheme allows USD 250,000 per person per financial year, and AED 1,650,000 is about USD 449,000 — inside two allowances, so a couple can fund the whole purchase in a single financial year, or one person over two. That is the easiest remittance of any Emaar release in this district.

Yield and exit. Estimates for the district diverge: 4% to 5% gross at first handover on the cautious view, in line with Dubai Harbour, against 6.5% to 8% projected once the marina is fully operational. Subtract AED 14,480 to 21,720 of service charge on a 724 sq ft apartment before calling anything a yield. On exit the low entry rate helps and the unit count does not: 545 homes handing over in one quarter is a lot of sellers at once. Rent and capital gains are taxable in India for an Indian tax resident.

Pros

• About AED 2,279 per sq ft is the lowest rate of Emaar's current releases here, roughly 10% under the district's December 2025 average
• AED 1,650,000 all-in at about AED 1.72 million with fees — the cheapest entry to the district's 2028 handovers
• About USD 449,000 fits inside two Liberalised Remittance Scheme allowances, so a couple can fund it in one financial year
• A full ladder from 1 BHK to 4 BHK at AED 9,100,000, so the towers will hold families as well as investors
• Emaar, with a reported 80% of projects handed over within six months of the stated date and an AED 163.4 billion backlog at 31 March 2026
• Three towers of 19 to 22 floors give upper-floor marina views in a district of mid-rise blocks

Cons

• 545 residences handing over in one quarter is the longest resale queue in the master plan
• The AED 1,650,000 one-bedroom is AED 350,000 short of the AED 2 million Golden Visa threshold
• No source publishes sizes by bedroom count — only 724 to 2,977 sq ft for the whole scheme — so the rate on a 2 or 3 BHK cannot be checked
• No service charge published; AED 20 to 30 per sq ft means AED 14,480 to 21,720 a year on a 724 sq ft apartment, heavy against a low entry price
• Handover is Q4 2028, and yield estimates for the district still range from 4% to 8%
• No source prints the DLD project number, the escrow bank or a construction-progress figure

Who this is for

• Buyers who want the district's address at the lowest rate per sq ft rather than the best unit count
• Indian buyers funding the purchase from two remittance allowances in a single financial year
• Families who want a three or four-bedroom apartment on a marina front, which most releases here do not offer
• Long-horizon investors who will hold past the 2029 handover wave rather than sell into it

Who should look elsewhere

• Buyers who need a Golden Visa from a one-bedroom — this one is AED 350,000 short
• Anyone planning to sell in the first year after handover alongside 544 other owners
• Yield-first investors — 4% to 5% gross at first handover is the planning figure, less the service charge
• Buyers who will not commit without a size against the price for their own unit type

Our verdict

Marina Views is the value entry to Rashid Yachts & Marina and the district's biggest building, and both facts come from the same decision. About AED 2,279 per sq ft is roughly 10% below what the district averaged in December 2025 and the lowest rate Emaar is asking here, which is why an investor with a long horizon should look at it seriously. The AED 1.72 million all-in cost fits two Liberalised Remittance Scheme allowances in one year, which no other release here does. Against that: 545 homes hand over together, the one-bedroom misses the Golden Visa threshold by AED 350,000, and nobody publishes a size against the two and three-bedroom prices. Buy the entry unit for the rate and hold it; buy the two-bedroom if the visa is the point.

FAQs

What is the price of Marina Views?

One-bedrooms start at AED 1,650,000 — about Rs 4.25 crore or USD 449,000 — for 724 sq ft, roughly AED 2,279 per sq ft. Two-bedrooms start at AED 2.52 million, three-bedrooms at AED 4.30 million and four-bedrooms at AED 9,100,000. Sizes are published only as a 724 to 2,977 sq ft range for the whole scheme, so ask Emaar for size against price by unit type.

What is the payment plan?

An 80/20 plan: 10% on booking, 70% through construction and 20% on handover, with nothing due afterwards. On AED 1,650,000 that is AED 165,000 at booking, about AED 1,155,000 through construction and AED 330,000 at the keys, plus AED 66,000 of DLD transfer fee — about AED 1.72 million all in. Instalments follow build milestones, so ask for the schedule in writing.

When is the handover?

Q4 2028, the same quarter as several other Emaar releases in this district. No construction-progress percentage is published for the towers; get the completion date into the sale and purchase agreement and track progress on the Dubai REST app.

How many apartments are in Marina Views?

545 residences across three towers rising 19 to 22 floors over basement and podium levels. That is the largest unit count of Emaar's current releases at Rashid Yachts & Marina, and it is the main argument against buying here to flip: a lot of owners reach handover in the same quarter.

Does it qualify for a Golden Visa?

Not at the entry price. The threshold is AED 2 million of property and the one-bedroom is quoted at AED 1,650,000, AED 350,000 short. The two-bedroom at AED 2.52 million clears it. Confirm with the Dubai Land Department how the threshold is assessed on an off-plan purchase and at what payment stage you can apply.

What are the service charges and the rental yield?

No service-charge rate has been published for Rashid Yachts & Marina; district projections run AED 20 to 30 per sq ft a year, or AED 14,480 to 21,720 on a 724 sq ft apartment. Yield estimates range from 4% to 5% gross at first handover on the cautious view to 6.5% to 8% once the marina is fully operational.

How does Marina Views compare with the other Emaar releases here?

It is the cheapest per sq ft and the largest. Marina Place 2 asks AED 2,080,000 for an 802 sq ft one-bedroom, about AED 2,594 per sq ft, in a building of about 179 homes with the same Q4 2028 handover; Pier Point starts at AED 1.93 million across 234 apartments. Marina Views trades a shorter resale queue for a lower rate and a wider unit mix up to four bedrooms.
