Overview

Project brief

AN ADDRESS-BRANDED BEACHFRONT TOWER ON DUBAI'S PRIVATE ISLAND AT DUBAI HARBOUR

Address Residences The Bay is a branded residential development by Emaar, in partnership with Address Hotels + Resorts, at Emaar Beachfront — the gated island community set within Dubai Harbour between Dubai Marina and Palm Jumeirah. It sits at the water's edge on the island's shoreline, along a 1.5 km stretch of private beach, with the Emaar Beachfront promenade of dining and retail on its doorstep.

The Emaar brochure describes Address Residences – The Bay as comprising branded apartments, penthouses and townhouses. Homes are designed around the beachfront setting, with sea, Marina and skyline views. Per the Emaar floor-plan pack, 1-bedroom apartments run from 758.21 to 913.86 square feet, 2-bedroom apartments from 1,264.33 to 1,836.87 square feet, and 3-bedroom apartments from 1,940.08 to 2,058.27 square feet — total areas including balcony. The floor plans cover residential levels 19–33 and 36–54; penthouse and townhouse layouts are confirmed on request. The single-tower, 68-storey configuration is reported by PropSearch and is not stated in any Emaar document held.

Emaar has structured the launch around a construction-linked payment plan — 80% across the construction period and a 20% balance due December 2026 at 100% construction completion.

THE INVESTMENT CASE

Address Residences The Bay is an off-plan, standard-tier brief: the angle below is qualitative. Where the live Dubai Land Department transaction feed for Emaar Beachfront is available, current pricing and PSF trends will be shown alongside — those figures are the basis for any comparison, not the estimates below.

DEVELOPER: EMAAR, ONE OF DUBAI'S MOST ESTABLISHED DEVELOPERS

Address Residences The Bay is developed by Emaar, the developer behind many of Dubai's landmark destinations, under its Address Hotels + Resorts brand. Emaar reported revenue of AED 49.6 billion for 2025 and, with a proven delivery track record, has delivered over 125,600 residential units across Dubai and other global markets since 2002. Its portfolio includes Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall. For investors, this scale and delivery history provide a meaningful measure of confidence at the off-plan stage.

LOCATION: A PRIVATE ISLAND BETWEEN DUBAI MARINA AND PALM JUMEIRAH

Emaar Beachfront is a gated island community within Dubai Harbour, with a private beach and a waterfront promenade of retail and dining. Address Residences The Bay sits on the island's shoreline, with Dubai Marina roughly five minutes away and direct access to Sheikh Zayed Road; Palm Jumeirah, the Cruise Terminal and Downtown Dubai are all close by. The position combines a resort-style island setting with genuine connectivity to the rest of the city.

APPLICABLE STRATEGIES

Pre-handover resale — the construction-linked plan means a buyer commits limited capital ahead of the Q4 2026 completion; Emaar Beachfront has an established resale market in its delivered towers, giving a potential exit route before handover. Actual premiums depend on market conditions at the time and should be checked against live DLD data.
Branded buy-and-hold for rental / short-let — an Address-branded beachfront tower with a private beach and Marina proximity supports both long-let and holiday-let demand; yields to be confirmed against current rental evidence.
Owner-occupation — a branded primary or second home in a gated beachfront community with hotel-style service and amenities.

RISKS & WATCHPOINTS

Off-plan completion risk — delivery is scheduled for Q4 2026; timelines can move, and returns depend on the market at handover, not today's.
Beachfront and branded premium — Emaar Beachfront prices at a premium to mainland Dubai Marina, and Address-branded stock prices at a further premium; the entry point should be weighed against both and verified on current PSF.
Service charges — beachfront and branded-residence communities typically carry higher service charges, which affect net yield.
Supply — Emaar Beachfront and Dubai Harbour have a substantial delivery pipeline; concurrent handovers can affect near-term resale and rental pricing.

Method & questions

HOW TO READ THIS PAGE

Two different things sit on this page: transaction evidence taken from the Dubai Land Department’s public register, and the mechanics of buying in Dubai. The four notes below explain how the figures were built and what they can fairly be used for.

Registered, not askedEvery Dubai Land Department figure on this page comes from a sale that completed and was entered on the public register. Asking prices, portal listings and developer price lists are excluded: they record what someone hoped for, not what was paid.
Medians, not averagesProject samples are often thin, and a single penthouse or one bulk-discounted floor will pull an average a long way off. The median — the middle transaction — describes the typical unit far more reliably at these sample sizes. The count behind each figure is always shown so you can judge how much weight it deserves.
Sales only“Sales” means arm’s-length sales. Intra-family and other “Gift” transfers are excluded, as are rows registered at zero or nominal consideration, because neither is evidence of a market price.
A dated snapshotThese are a snapshot at the date stated beside them, taken from one extract of the register rather than queried live. A figure for this project quoted elsewhere, or taken from a different extract, may not match what you see here.

Common questions

What does buying off-plan at Address Residences The Bay involve?

Off-plan means contracting with the developer before the building is finished. In outline: you reserve the unit, sign the developer’s Sale and Purchase Agreement (SPA), and pay in instalments tied to construction milestones rather than in a single sum at the start.

Buyer payments on an off-plan sale in Dubai are made into a project escrow account regulated under Dubai Law No. 8 of 2007, and are released to the developer against verified construction progress. The developer registers the sale with the Dubai Land Department. The contract is between you and Emaar; we act as broker, not as principal.

What is the 4% DLD transfer fee, and who pays it?

The Dubai Land Department charges a property registration (transfer) fee of 4% of the price recorded on the contract, plus a fixed administrative charge. That is the rate in force as at July 2026. The statutory position splits the fee between buyer and seller; established market practice in Dubai is that the buyer pays the whole 4%.

Developers sometimes offer to absorb part or all of it on off-plan sales. Treat that as real only where it is written into the sale documents, not where it appears in marketing. Budget separately for the registration trustee charge, the Oqood registration fee on off-plan units, and — if you are borrowing — mortgage registration at 0.25% of the loan amount.

What is an Oqood registration, and is it the same as a title deed?

No. Oqood is the Dubai Land Department’s registration system for property that is not yet complete. When you buy off-plan, the developer lodges the SPA through Oqood, your interest is recorded on the interim property register, and you receive an initial registration certificate.

The title deed is a separate and later document, issued once the project is complete and the unit is formally transferred into your name. An off-plan purchase that is never registered leaves you off that interim register, so ask for evidence of Oqood registration once your first payment has cleared.

Can a non-UAE buyer own a unit outright?

In Dubai’s designated freehold areas, yes. Regulation No. 3 of 2006 sets out the areas in which non-UAE nationals may hold freehold title or a long lease; outside those areas ownership is restricted to UAE and GCC nationals. Ownership does not depend on holding UAE residency, and no local partner is required.

Tenure attaches to the plot rather than to a development’s marketing, so confirm what is recorded against the specific unit — freehold or leasehold, and the remaining term if leasehold — before you sign.

What happens at handover?

Once the building is complete and the completion certificate issued, you are called for handover: you inspect the unit (the snagging inspection), the developer addresses the defects listed, you settle the final instalment and any outstanding fees, and the unit is transferred into your name with a title deed issued.

Annual service charges begin at handover. They are levied per square foot at a rate approved by the regulator, so they are a recurring cost rather than a one-off. If you intend to let the unit, allow for the interval between handover and the first tenancy — a vacant unit earns nothing, and gross yield is annual rent measured against the purchase price, before those costs are taken off. Emaar gives completion for Address Residences The Bay as Dec 2026; off-plan completion dates can move, and the SPA governs the position.

Where do the Dubai Land Department figures on this page come from?

They are drawn from the Dubai Land Department’s public transaction register — sales actually registered against Address Residences The Bay, rather than asking prices, portal listings or developer price lists. They are a dated extract of the register, not a live query: the extract date is printed with the figures, and everything on this page is calculated from that single extract.

The number of sales behind every figure is shown alongside it. A median drawn from a handful of registrations carries far less weight than one drawn from several hundred, and should be read that way.

Who is Mitchell’s Realty, and how are you paid?

Mitchell’s Realty is the trading brand. The RERA-licensed brokerage behind it is The Luxury Real Estate Brokers LLC.

On developer off-plan sales the commission is paid by the developer. On resale transactions the brokerage fee is agreed with you in writing before terms are signed. We will confirm how we are paid on any specific transaction before you commit to it.

Please note. The above is general information about how transactions work in Dubai, not legal, tax or financial advice, and it is not a recommendation to buy. Fee rates, tenure rules and residency requirements change, and your own position may differ. Take your own independent legal and tax advice before you commit to a purchase.
