WATERFRONT APARTMENTS AT MINA RASHID
Fior 1 is a residential development by Emaar at Rashid Yachts & Marina, the master-planned waterfront community at Mina Rashid built around a full-service marina and promenade, near Dubai's historic harbour and cruise terminal at Port Rashid. The building pairs contemporary residences with a landscaped amenity deck, from adult and kids' pools to a padel court and event lawn.
The development comprises 181 residences: 1, 2 and 3-bedroom apartments. The Emaar floor plans draw layouts from 759.82 square feet for a one-bedroom to 2,972.88 square feet for a three-bedroom with a setback-level terrace, with starting prices from AED 2.21 million.
Emaar has structured the launch around a construction-linked payment plan — a 10% down payment followed by further instalments tied to construction milestones, with the final payment due on 100% completion, scheduled for July 2030.

THE INVESTMENT CASE
Fior 1 is an off-plan, standard-tier brief: the angle below is qualitative. Where the live Dubai Land Department transaction feed for Rashid Yachts & Marina 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
Fior 1 is developed by Emaar, the developer behind many of Dubai's landmark destinations. Emaar reported revenue of AED 49.6 billion for 2025 and, with a proven delivery track record, has completed over 125,600 residential units across Dubai and other global markets since 2002. Its portfolio includes globally recognised assets such as 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 MARINA COMMUNITY AT DUBAI'S HISTORIC HARBOUR
Rashid Yachts & Marina is an Emaar waterfront community at Mina Rashid, built around a full-service marina, a swimmable canal and a promenade of retail and dining, near Dubai's historic harbour and the cruise terminal at Port Rashid. Fior 1 sits roughly 20 minutes from Dubai International Airport, 25 minutes from Downtown Dubai and 30 minutes from Dubai Marina. The position pairs a marina lifestyle with connectivity to the wider city.
APPLICABLE STRATEGIES
- Pre-handover resale — the construction-linked plan means a buyer commits limited capital ahead of the 2030 completion, leaving an exit route before handover. Actual premiums depend on market conditions at the time and should be checked against live DLD data.
- Buy-and-hold for rental / short-let — waterfront marina stock with promenade retail and dining supports both long-let and holiday-let demand; yields to be confirmed against current rental evidence.
- Owner-occupation — a primary or second home in a marina community with a landscaped amenity deck.
RISKS & WATCHPOINTS
- Off-plan completion risk — delivery is scheduled for July 2030, a long build horizon; timelines can move, and returns depend on the market at handover, not today's.
- Waterfront premium — marina and waterfront stock typically prices at a premium to comparable mainland product; the entry point should be verified on current PSF.
- Service charges — waterfront and marina communities typically carry higher service charges, which affect net yield.
- Supply — Rashid Yachts & Marina has a substantial delivery pipeline; concurrent handovers can affect near-term resale and rental pricing.
