Saria by Beyond: Maritime City's 10% Entry Point
10% gets you into Saria. That is a low bar for an off-plan waterfront project in Dubai. Beyond, the developer, structured the payment as 10% down, 40% during construction, and 50% at handover. The back-loaded handover tranche is significant, but the initial capital requirement is low for a coastal address.
A District Still Taking Shape
Maritime City occupies a reclaimed peninsula with direct sea frontage, south of Deira and a short drive from Bur Dubai. It is not yet a fully built-out neighbourhood. The retail and service infrastructure around it is thinner than in established Dubai districts. For a long-term investor, that is part of the case: buying into a waterfront district at an earlier stage of development. For an end user, the appeal rests on the water access and the building's own amenity set rather than the surrounding community. Saria delivers on both fronts with its location and a thorough internal amenity lineup.
What AED 1.7M to AED 10.7M Covers
The price spread is large because the product range is large. At the low end, AED 1,700,000 buys a one-bedroom apartment of 758 to 838 square feet. Two-bedroom units, including duplexes, start from AED 3,000,000. Three-bedroom apartments begin at AED 5,100,000. Four-bedroom penthouses top out at AED 10,739,000, with the largest layout running to 4,612 square feet.
On a rate basis, the one-beds price at roughly AED 2,030 to AED 2,240 per square foot. The smallest penthouse configuration sits closer to AED 3,660 per square foot, reflecting the unit type and the premium a top-floor waterfront position carries.
Apartments, Duplexes, and Penthouses
Three product types cover the full range. Standard apartments run from one to three bedrooms, between 758 and 1,685 square feet. Duplexes come in two and three-bedroom configurations, from 1,399 to 1,945 square feet, starting from AED 3,000,000. Penthouses are exclusively four-bedroom, from 2,935 to 4,612 square feet, starting from AED 10,739,000.
The duplexes are worth attention. At AED 3,000,000 they share the same floor price as the two-bedroom flat apartments but offer meaningfully more area (1,399 sqft versus around 1,257 sqft for the comparable flat unit) and a two-level layout. A buyer who wants more space but does not want to stretch to the three-bedroom price point has a real option here.
Amenities Built Around the Water
| Category | Amenities |
|---|---|
| Waterfront & Recreation | Beach Access, Infinity Pool |
| Fitness & Wellness | Gymnasium, Well-being and Fitness, Cycle track |
| Family | Children's Play Area, Children's Pool |
| Outdoor | Landscaped Parks |
| Dining | Restaurants |
Beach access and an infinity pool lead the list, which is appropriate for a Maritime City waterfront address. The gym, wellness centre, and cycle track together point to a resident who uses fitness facilities regularly rather than treating them as a sales point. The two children's amenities, a pool and a play area, indicate genuine family-unit consideration. On-site restaurants carry practical weight in Maritime City specifically, where the surrounding food and retail base is still developing.
Q1 2028 Handover
Construction broke ground in November 2024. Completion is scheduled for March 2028, approximately 40 months from the start. For a buyer entering now, handover is roughly two years away.
The 40% construction payment runs across that window, with installment calls expected through 2025, 2026, and into 2027, leading up to the 50% handover payment in early 2028.
Getting In for 10%
| Phase | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 10% |
| During construction | 40% |
| At handover | 50% |
The 10% entry keeps the initial capital commitment low. The construction tranche of 40% is spread across the build period, easing the cash draw through to 2027. The 50% at handover is the large final commitment, due in early 2028, with no post-handover period to spread that cost.
