WATERFRONT APARTMENTS AT A FULL-SERVICE MARINA IN DUBAI'S HISTORIC HARBOUR
Ocean Views is a residential development by Emaar at Rashid Yachts & Marina, the master-planned waterfront community at Mina Rashid, alongside Dubai's historic harbour and Port Rashid. The community pairs a full-service superyacht marina and generous promenades with restaurants, shops and signature hotels, and Ocean Views sits within it as a low-rise, contemporary address on the water.
The development comprises two contemporary residential buildings connected by a landscaped podium, delivering 1, 2 and 3-bedroom apartments. Homes are designed to maximise space and natural light, with large windows framing views across the marina and community. Emaar's Building A floor plans show suite areas of 737.22 sq ft for one-bedroom homes, 1,101.58 sq ft for two-bedroom homes and 1,503.40 to 1,505.87 sq ft for three-bedroom homes; including terraces and balconies, total areas run from 796.74 sq ft to 3,399.78 sq ft. Starting prices for the release are reported from AED 2.07 million.
Emaar has structured the launch around a construction-linked payment plan — an 80/20 split, with 80% payable across the down payment and seven instalments during construction, and the final 20% due on 100% completion, scheduled for September 2028.

Areas per the Emaar Building A floor plans, which publish 18 layouts across the ground floor and levels 01–05. The Building B plan set held in the pack is image-based, so no areas are reproduced for that building and the ranges above should be read as Building A only. Emaar publishes no unit counts or prices for this release; the starting prices shown are PropSearch / off-plan listing data. The largest three-bedroom totals belong to level 04 and 05 layouts carrying terraces of 1,404.91 to 1,895.31 sq ft. Individual availability is confirmed on request.
THE INVESTMENT CASE
Ocean Views 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
Ocean Views 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 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 FULL-SERVICE MARINA COMMUNITY AT MINA RASHID
Rashid Yachts & Marina is a master-planned waterfront community at Mina Rashid, set alongside Dubai's historic harbour and Port Rashid. Its marina accommodates 430 wet berths for yachts of up to 100 metres, alongside waterfront promenades, restaurants, shops and signature hotels including the QE2. Emaar's brochure puts the community at roughly 15 minutes from the Al Fahidi Historical District, 18 minutes from Dubai International Airport, 20 minutes from Downtown Dubai and 30 minutes from Dubai Marina. The position pairs a waterfront marina setting with proximity to central Dubai and the airport.
APPLICABLE STRATEGIES
- Pre-handover resale — the construction-linked plan means a buyer commits limited capital ahead of the 2028 completion; a resale before handover is one route, though 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 near the harbour 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 full-service marina community with waterfront amenities.
RISKS & WATCHPOINTS
- Off-plan completion risk — delivery is scheduled for September 2028; 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 Dubai; the entry point should be weighed against that premium and verified on current PSF.
- Service charges — waterfront and marina communities typically carry higher service charges, which affect net yield.
- Supply — Rashid Yachts & Marina and the wider Mina Rashid district have a substantial delivery pipeline; concurrent handovers can affect near-term resale and rental pricing.
SOURCES
- Emaar — Ocean Views Building A floor plans: suite, terrace/balcony and total areas for 18 layouts across the ground floor and levels 01–05, and the massing plan showing Building A as five floors (B+G+5). The Building B plan set held in the pack is image-based and yields no readable text, so no figure on this page is drawn from it.
- Emaar — Ocean Views at Rashid Yachts & Marina brochure: two contemporary residential buildings connected by a landscaped podium; 1- to 3-bedroom apartments; marina capacity of 430 wet berths for yachts up to 100 metres; drive times (15 minutes to Al Fahidi Historical District, 18 minutes to Dubai International Airport, 20 minutes to Downtown Dubai, 30 minutes to Dubai Marina); amenities — outdoor pool, children's play area, landscaped gardens, community spaces, gym and barbecue and picnic spots.
- Emaar — Ocean Views payment plan: 10% on booking (Sep 2024), seven further 10% instalments to Sep 2027 tied to construction milestones, and a final 20% at 100% construction completion, Sep 2028.
- PropSearch (https://propsearch.ae) and Emaar off-plan listing data (everhomes.ae) — starting prices only. A PropSearch size range of 788–1,972 sq ft was dropped: it conflicts with the Emaar floor plans, which are the source of record for areas.
