THE TOWER AND ITS ARCHITECTURE
A high-rise waterfront tower standing over a three-tier amenity podium and a ground floor. Its residences run from one-bedroom apartments of around 850 sq ft to a single five-bedroom penthouse, and every home has open-plan living and a private balcony.
The mix is weighted to smaller stock. Around 90 residences are one-bedroom or one-bedroom-plus-study and around 80 are two-bedroom, so roughly 85% of the tower is one- and two-bedroom product; about 25 three-bedroom apartments, six four-bedroom duplexes and the penthouse make up the balance. For a single owner that mix is the letting strategy in miniature — a professional and small-family building with a slim tail of larger homes.
The facade is curtain walling with dark stucco, textured paint and bronze-tinted aluminium panels, its balconies set on shifting planes and layered forms that frame the views and screen them. Terraces are cut back to draw in light and airflow and are densely planted, with planting carried at ground and podium level and on the terraces and balconies. Inside, the palette is drawn from raw natural materials. The apartments are oriented to the water and the Dubai skyline.
Architectural descriptions are the developer's own, paraphrased rather than quoted, and not independently assessed. For the floor plates, the unit layouts and the aspect of each stack, please contact us.
THE RESIDENCES — ONE-BEDROOM APARTMENTS TO A FIVE-BEDROOM PENTHOUSE
The collection runs to one- to three-bedroom apartments, four-bedroom duplexes, two-bedroom podium residences and a penthouse.
- The apartments — the great majority of the tower. Open-plan layouts in a muted palette, designed around natural light. Master bedrooms have private en-suites and integrated storage. Kitchens are open-plan, pairing a neutral palette with organic curves and natural stone, cabinetry flowing into stone surfaces, integrated appliances, concealed storage and ambient lighting. The bathrooms are specified to a spa standard.
- The four-bedroom duplexes — six of them, at around 3,100 sq ft each. Two-storey homes on paired floor plates, finished to the higher of the two interior schemes.
- The penthouse — one, crowning the tower. Three floors, five bedrooms including the master suite, and staff quarters, with bespoke interiors: a banqueting table and a breakfast nook, an interior fire pit as the focal point, an expansive terrace with its own outdoor kitchen, a top-floor entertainment suite, and entertainment lounges opening onto private roof gardens and panoramic balconies. Its area is confirmed on application.
- The podium residences — two bedrooms over three levels. An en-suite to every bedroom, a balcony on each floor and a private rooftop terrace with an outdoor lounge and a plunge pool. They sit on the neighbouring building's podium: part of the same development, and outside this transaction.

The developer's material boards — five boards for the apartment scheme, four for the duplex and penthouse scheme.
The step up is material rather than cosmetic: laminate joinery becomes veneer, porcelain becomes stone at the floor, the worktop and the vanity, and wood-look porcelain in the apartment bedrooms becomes timber. The six duplexes and the penthouse carry the higher scheme; every other residence carries the apartment scheme.
The boards set the palette. The full handover specification — appliances and sanitaryware, ironmongery, glazing and facade performance, acoustic and thermal standards, metering and smart-home provision — forms a schedule to the sale and purchase agreement on a purchase of this size. Contact us and we will request it with the contract documents.
THE AMENITY PODIUM
The amenities occupy a single three-tier podium, landscaped throughout and set within a planted park.
The provision runs to a gym and an exercise park; a spa with treatment rooms, tailored therapies and spaces for quiet reflection; a heated pool, a splash pool, a children's pool and a pool bar; a cinema; a yoga studio and an outdoor yoga space; a residents' lounge; a library; an event space; a playground; a podium-level wet area; and the podium park itself. Arrival is by landscaped walkways to a daylit lobby behind expansive glass.
For a single owner the amenity provision is the service-charge base. The podium is shared with a neighbouring building in the same development and with the podium residences, so the apportionment is a term to agree with the developer.
Contact us for the amenity areas, the allocation across the podium levels, the operator and the running costs, and we will put them to the developer with the rest of the underwriting set.
DUBAI MARITIME CITY — THE SETTING AND THE CONNECTIONS
The tower stands on the waterfront of the Dubai Maritime City peninsula, a reclaimed district given over to residential, marine and light-industrial use on the edge of the old city.
It is a central address. On the developer's own published drive times, Downtown Dubai, the Dubai International Financial Centre and Dubai International Airport are each within about twenty minutes, the beach coast within about ten, and the historic quarter and the port a few minutes away. Those are the developer's times and are not independently measured.
Tree-lined retail avenues are part of the district's offer, with restaurants, coffee roasters and boutiques planned at street level. Whether any retail forms part of this transaction, and what relationship it has to the tower's service charge, is a term to settle with the developer.
The strategic point for an institutional buyer is concentration. This tower sits inside a single large master-developed estate in the district, where one developer controls the delivery programme, the amenity provision and the release of competing stock into the same micro-market over the same period. For the owner of one apartment that is coherence. For the owner of an entire tower it is a question worth putting on the table — the phasing of the neighbouring buildings, and what it means for your letting and resale window.
THE COUNTERPARTY AND DUE DILIGENCE
The seller is an established Dubai luxury residential developer with a substantial delivery programme in this district. It is named to you, in writing, once we are in contact.
On a transaction of this size, counterparty due diligence — corporate structure, balance sheet, delivery record, and which legal entity signs — is work to commission rather than to take on trust, and we co-ordinate it alongside the commercial terms. Nothing on this page is a statement about the developer's financial standing, and none is implied.
TERMS TO SETTLE BEFORE EXCHANGE
These are the terms a whole-building purchase turns on, and the list Mitchell's puts to the developer on your behalf in a single request.
- Tenure and the ownership route. The tenure recorded against the plot, confirmed against the Dubai Land Department's record, and the route by which your nationality, company or fund takes title.
- The escrow arrangement. The account instalments are paid into, and the conditions on which they release.
- The plot and the consent. Plot number, registered plot area, and the consented gross floor area and height the scheme is approved against.
- The construction programme. The building permit, the stage of works on site measured rather than described, and the milestones the payment plan can be linked to.
- The completion date, contractually. Fixed in the sale and purchase agreement, and settled at the same time as the instalment profile.
- The block-purchase structure. Whether the residences transfer as one title or individually, how interim registration is handled across a block sale, what the transfer fee is assessed on, and any assignment or resale restriction.
- The service charge and the podium. The budget, and how the cost of the shared podium is apportioned between this tower, the neighbouring building and the podium residences.
- Parking and district cooling. The provision, whether spaces are titled, and the cooling contract and its tariff.
- The handover specification. The schedule to the contract, over and above the material palette.
- The retail. Whether any of the retail marketed in the district forms part of this transaction.
Mitchell's runs the underwriting model with you as each of these lands. The service charge, achievable rents by unit type at Dubai Maritime City, the parking provision and the district-cooling tariff are the inputs that move the return — contact us and we will assemble them with the developer and model the tower on your assumptions.
FLOOR PLATES, LAYOUTS AND THE DOCUMENT SET
The document set moves by request rather than by download, which is how a whole-building transaction should work: you receive the set that answers your questions, and the developer's identity travels with it.
We hold and will send the developer's fact sheet, the project brochure, the material boards, the podium residence floor plans, floor plates and render library.
For this tower's floor plates, the apartment layouts and a unit-by-unit inventory, please contact us. They are requested from the developer together with the underwriting items above, so that the answers arrive in one set.
Contact Mitchell's for the floor plates, the layouts and the full document set — and for financing, which we can help arrange on this acquisition.
