A completed apartment tower in Dubai Marina
Marina Living is a finished high-rise residential tower by Continental Investments LMD in Dubai Marina. This brief is for owners of apartments in the tower, for anyone buying or selling one of its units second-hand, and for those weighing it against other Marina buildings. It covers the tower's entry in the Dubai Land Department register, its layouts and structure, and the streets and landmarks around it.
The tower and its apartments
The 205 units are all apartments, split between one-bedroom and two-bedroom layouts. The register describes a concrete-framed residential building of blockwork with internal and external finishes, rising from a ground floor and two podium levels. There is no basement.
LACASA Architects & Engineering Consultants was the architectural consultant on the project.
Dubai Marina
Emaar Properties is the master developer of Dubai Marina, a man-made waterway more than 3 km long. A public promenade runs along the water's edge, with restaurants and cafés on many stretches of it, and most of the towers around the water are residential.
Public transport reaches the district on two networks: the Dubai Metro has stations serving the Marina, and the Dubai Tram runs through it.
