Riva Residence sits in Maritime City, a reclaimed peninsula of 227 hectares lying between Dubai Dry Docks and Port Rashid. Land reclamation started with the development's launch in 2004, when it was described as a maritime scheme with residential, commercial, industrial and leisure facilities. The global financial crisis halted work from 2009 to 2011, and it restarted in 2012. DP World acquired Dubai Maritime City in 2017, and a revised masterplan was unveiled on 28 July 2019. The industrial precinct is finished and in operation. Sheikh Rashid Road serves the plots along the seaside corniche.
