The Views: Apartments on Al Marjan Island by Ardee Developments
Al Marjan Island is Ras Al Khaimah's primary man-made waterfront district. The Views, by Ardee Developments, is an apartment project on the island aimed at investors and buyers looking for Gulf-facing residential space at an accessible entry point.
Where Al Marjan Island Puts You
Al Marjan Island is an archipelago of man-made islands extending into the Arabian Gulf from the Ras Al Khaimah coast. Dubai is roughly 45 to 60 minutes by road, making this a practical option for buyers who want distance from the city without losing access to it. Within Ras Al Khaimah, the city centre sits around 20 minutes away.
The island setting is central to the project's appeal. For an owner-occupier, it means waterfront living within a resort-style district. For an investor, it means an address that draws tenants seeking Gulf waterfront living with resort amenities.
What AED 885K to AED 1.8M Buys You
Pricing starts at AED 885,000 and runs to AED 1,800,000. The spread of just over AED 900,000 within a single property type reflects the range of unit sizes and positions within the building.
The lower end likely covers compact one-bedroom apartments suited to investors or buyers entering the market. The upper end points to larger units with better floors or sea-facing positions. In a project offering only apartments, the premium at the top of the range is driven by size, elevation, and outlook rather than any difference in property type.
Getting In for 10%
| Stage | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 10% |
| During construction | 30% |
| On handover | 10% |
| Post-handover | 50% |
A 10% down payment lowers the barrier to entry. Buyers can commit with a limited initial outlay and spread the remaining construction-period payments across the build phase.
The standout figure is the 50% post-handover component. Half the total purchase price is payable after keys are received, structured as a developer-financed instalment plan. For investors, the largest payments fall in the period when the property can generate rental income. For owner-occupiers, it avoids full upfront financing before moving in.
Apartments for Investors and Residents Alike
The project delivers apartments only. Compact units work for investors seeking rental yield. Larger apartments suit buyers who want a second home or permanent residence on the island. The single property type keeps the buyer profile focused: this is a waterfront apartment project, not a mixed-use development with villas or townhouses.
What the Amenities Say
| Theme | Facilities |
|---|---|
| Wellness and Recreation | Indoor Swimming Pool, Gymnasium |
| Outdoor and Landscaping | Landscaped Gardens |
| Dining | Restaurants |
| Family | Children's Play Area |
| Security | CCTV Security |
The indoor swimming pool extends usability through the hotter months. On-site restaurants and landscaped gardens position this as a self-contained living environment rather than a basic residential block. The children's play area adds a family-friendly dimension.
Taken together, the amenity set points at residents who intend to use the building's facilities rather than purely investors buying for yield. The combination of dining, wellness, and outdoor space suggests Ardee Developments is building for long-term occupancy rather than short-term investment.
Four Years to Handover
Construction started in October 2026. Completion is expected in December 2030, approximately four years from now.
Buying off-plan today means locking in the current price with a four-year build window. The 30% construction-period payment spreads across those years. By handover, a buyer will have paid 50% of the purchase price, with the remaining 50% structured as post-handover instalments.
For investors, the timeline and payment structure complement each other: limited upfront commitment, gradual mid-build payments, and the majority of the balance due after the asset is available to let.
