The Bay Towers: Apartments on the Water in Maritime City
Beyond is developing The Bay Towers in Dubai Maritime City, a district that sits between Port Rashid and the industrial waterfront south of Deira. Maritime City is one of Dubai's more deliberate urban planning projects, a mixed-use zone carved from reclaimed land with a clear remit: residential and commercial development facing the sea. It is not Downtown or Marina. It does not carry their price premium or their name recognition. What it offers instead is a genuine waterfront position and proximity to key parts of the city without the cost that comes with them.
Where Maritime City Actually Puts You
The district sits roughly 10 to 15 minutes by road from Business Bay and around 20 minutes from Dubai International Airport under normal traffic. Port Rashid is the immediate neighbor, which gives the area an industrial edge in parts, but the residential precincts are oriented toward the water. Dubai Creek and the historic Deira neighborhoods are accessible to the north, while the Sheikh Zayed Road corridor is reachable via Al Mina and Jumeirah. For buyers focused on central Dubai access without committing to the premium of DIFC or Downtown, Maritime City is a credible position.
Getting In for AED 253,000
The entry price at The Bay Towers is AED 2,530,000. The current payment plan requires only 10% on signing, a low entry threshold for a project at this price point.
| Stage | Payment |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 10% |
| During construction | 40% |
| On handover | 50% |
The structure places the heaviest commitment at handover. Buyers pay AED 253,000 to secure a unit now, then 40% spread across the construction period, with the remaining half due on completion in late 2028. For investors, this compresses the upfront outlay significantly. For end-users, the larger cash requirement arrives in roughly two and a half years, aligned with the November 2028 completion.
One Bedroom, Two Bedroom, Three Bedroom
The Bay Towers offers apartments across one, two, and three-bedroom configurations. A single project-level price of AED 2,530,000 is currently listed, which likely reflects the entry price for the smallest available unit type. Buyers interested in larger units should expect pricing above this figure. The mix of bedroom types makes The Bay Towers relevant to a range of buyers: smaller units for investors looking to rent into the Maritime City tenant pool, and larger units for families or professionals who want more space in a central waterfront location.
The Amenity Set
| Category | Amenities |
|---|---|
| Fitness and wellness | Gymnasium, Indoor Swimming Pool |
| Outdoor spaces | Landscaped Gardens |
| Dining | Restaurants |
| Security | CCTV Security |
The indoor pool is the standout item here. Outdoor pools are standard across Dubai's mid-market projects. An indoor pool points to a developer thinking about year-round use, including the summer months when outdoor facilities lose much of their appeal. The gymnasium and landscaped gardens are expected at this level. On-site restaurants reduce the reliance on the surrounding neighborhood for daily needs, which matters in a district that is still building out its retail and F&B base.
Completion in Late 2028
Construction began in October 2025. The expected completion date is November 2028, roughly three years from the start of works. For an off-plan buyer entering now in mid-2026, that means approximately two and a half years until handover. Off-plan purchases at this stage of the construction cycle carry less early-stage risk than projects that have not yet broken ground. The project is under active development, and the timeline to handover is concrete enough to plan around.
