Nearly everything here is still to be handed over

Of the 41 buildings and communities on our site in Dubai Maritime City, 38 are off-plan or under construction and only 3 are completed. That shapes everything else in this guide. In most of these buildings you are buying from plans, a brochure and a dated payment schedule, not from a unit you can walk through.

The completed ones are the easiest to judge. Seagate by Emaar Properties, completed in Q3 2025, and Anwa by Omniyat, completed in Q4 2021.

Apartments from studios to four bedrooms: what the sales say

Of the 4,639 sales, 4,486 were apartments, 0 were villas or townhouses and 17 were land. By size, one-bedroom homes were the largest group with 2,414 sales, followed by two-bedroom homes (1,072) and studios (757). Three-bedroom sales numbered 228 and four-bedroom just 15.

So the practical choice here is between a studio, a one-bedroom and a two-bedroom. A larger home is a rare find in the sales, and you should expect to compare only a handful of units.

4,639 sales in 12 months, 4,558 of them off-plan

Dubai Land Department recorded 4,639 sales in Dubai Maritime City over the latest 12 months: 4,558 off-plan and 81 ready. The median sale price was AED 2,525,000 and the median was AED 3,149.48 per sq ft. The most recent sale was on 2026-05-12. You can browse registered transactions on our site, and our methodology page explains how these figures are counted.

An area median puts studios and four-bedroom homes, and every building, in one pile. It shows where the middle of the registered sales sat, not what a particular unit is worth. Because nearly all the sales are off-plan, the median also says little about what a finished unit would fetch. Ask for registered sales of the same building and unit type, with dates.

Rents: 113 registered contracts

Dubai Land Department registered 113 rental contracts in the area over the latest 12 months, at a median annual rent of AED 109,705. That is a small number of contracts next to the sales, so read the median as a rough guide to what registered leases looked like, not as the rent for a particular unit. If you plan to rent a home out or to rent one yourself, the lease must be registered in Ejari, and you should keep the certificate.

What apartments were listed for in October 2026, from studios to four bedrooms

In October 2026, studios were listed at typical asking prices of AED 1,250,000 to AED 1,400,000, with a median of AED 1,300,000 across 281 listings. One-bedroom apartments were listed at typical asking prices of AED 1,850,000 to AED 2,632,000, with a median of AED 2,300,000 across 868 listings. Two-bedroom apartments were listed at typical asking prices of AED 2,999,000 to AED 4,450,000, with a median of AED 3,600,000 across 741 listings. Three-bedroom apartments were listed at typical asking prices of AED 5,100,000 to AED 7,579,000, with a median of AED 5,900,000 across 238 listings. Four-bedroom apartments were listed at typical asking prices of AED 9,000,000 to AED 22,115,000, with a median of AED 10,548,000 across 27 listings.

These are asking prices, not sale prices. They show what sellers asked in the latest 90 days, and the final price can differ. Four-bedroom listings are few (27), and their range is wide, so one unit can move it. Because the sales are mostly off-plan, a listing may be a resale before handover. Ask the seller how much has been paid to the developer and what is still due.

Omniyat, Beyond Developments and Damac Properties lead on project count

The number in brackets is how many of that developer's projects here have pages on our site: Omniyat (8), Beyond Developments (6), Damac Properties (6), Danube Properties (3), Emaar Properties (3), Prestige One Developments (2), Select Group (2), Vakson Real Estate (2).

Omniyat has 8 projects, and Beyond Developments and Damac Properties have 6 each. When several developers are active in one area, compare their other buildings and ask each one for the same documents, so the comparison stays fair.

How to choose between Dubai Maritime City buildings

Start with the stage and the dates. Ask when each building is due for handover, and what the contract says if the date moves. Treat any date as the developer's target.

Then look at unit size. Studios, one-bedroom and two-bedroom homes make up almost all the sales, so ask how many larger units a building has before you plan around a three-bedroom.

Compare running costs on the same terms. Ask what service charge the developer expects, when it starts and what it covers. Ask how many parking spaces come with a unit.

Finally, check the view from the actual unit. For an off-plan building, ask for the unit's position on the floor plan and the floor it sits on, and compare it with the plan, not with a render.

A checklist for buying off-plan in Dubai Maritime City

Nearly all the sales here are off-plan, so this list follows that route. If you buy a completed unit, add a title deed check, the owners' association service charge budget and a viewing at different times of day.

1. Confirm the exact unit: number, floor, internal size, floor plan and position in the building.
2. Read the sales and purchase agreement and write down each instalment, its due date and what triggers it.
3. Confirm that payments go into the project's escrow account and that receipts carry the developer's details.
4. Check that the sale is registered in Oqood, the Dubai Land Department system for off-plan contracts, and keep the certificate.
5. If you buy a resale, ask how much has been paid to the developer, what remains due and whether the developer must approve the transfer.
6. Note the stated handover date and what the contract says if it is delayed.
7. Ask what service charge the developer expects and when it starts.
8. At handover, inspect the unit before accepting it, list every defect (snagging) in writing and keep a dated copy.
9. After handover, check that the title deed is issued in your name. If you rent the unit out, register the lease in Ejari.
10. Keep every document and message in one folder, and compare two or three buildings on the same list.
