Waterfront Property Boom in Dubai

Dubai Harbour is emerging as a prime waterfront destination for luxury home buyers seeking a modern lifestyle. Located between Palm Jumeirah and Bluewaters, the area offers a blend of residential, leisure, and entertainment options, including a marina, cruise terminal, and "The Anchor," a hub for dining and entertainment. With significant progress in its master plan, including a fully operational cruise terminal, Dubai Harbour is rapidly becoming an iconic seafront district.

The area boasts a range of upcoming residential projects, such as Sobha Seahaven and Damac Bay by Cavalli, with expected completion by 2026. Existing developments like Emaar Beachfront have already seen rising occupancy levels. Property values in Dubai Harbour have seen substantial growth, with off-plan apartment values increasing by 105% between January 2021 and June 2025, and ready apartments appreciating by approximately 50% during the same period. Sales have been consistently strong, with March 2025 being the busiest month, recording nearly 300 units sold.

Current listings show two-bedroom apartments available for over Dh4 million, with average pricing around Dh3,620 per square foot. One-bedroom apartments typically range from Dh1.9 million to Dh3 million, while two-beds can reach Dh4 million to Dh5.5 million. Penthouses and branded residences exceed Dh7 million. The area attracts foreign investors from Europe, Asia, and the GCC, drawn by the yachting lifestyle, beaches, and nearby golfing. The upcoming King Salman Bridge, set to be completed in 2026, will further enhance connectivity, placing Dubai Harbour just minutes from major city areas.
