The Art of Trio: Apartments on Al Marjan Island from AED 988,888
Durar Group is developing The Art of Trio on Al Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah. The project delivers four apartment configurations, from studios to three-bedrooms, with construction started in February 2025 and handover targeted for December 2027.
Al Marjan Island: Gulf Waterfront Living, 45 Minutes from Dubai
Al Marjan Island is a man-made archipelago extending from the Ras Al Khaimah coastline into the Arabian Gulf. The island sits roughly 45 minutes north of central Dubai by road. What separates this location from most UAE residential addresses is the relationship with the water. At Al Marjan Island, the Gulf is not a view from certain floors or a feature available to some units at a premium. It is the base environment. The island is bounded by the sea on multiple sides, and that shapes what living here means in practical terms.
Its distance from Dubai puts the island outside the city's core while keeping it accessible. Residents who need to commute to Dubai have the road connection. Those who do not will find a setting that differs substantially from the scale and pace of Dubai's established waterfront communities. The island operates as its own environment rather than as an extension of the wider Dubai metropolitan area.
AED 988,888 Across All Unit Types
The project lists AED 988,888 as both the minimum and maximum price. That single figure applies to all four apartment types: studios, 1-bedrooms, 2-bedrooms, and 3-bedrooms. With configurations spanning that range at a uniform price, the per-square-foot cost and what you receive in practical living terms differ significantly between unit types. A studio at AED 988,888 and a three-bedroom at AED 988,888 are not comparable investments, even at the same headline number.
Studios to Three-Bedrooms: Four Buyer Profiles
Studios, 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, and 3-bedroom units make up the mix. Studios are the investor-oriented entry point: compact footprints suited to buyers targeting rental yield on an island address. One-bedroom units sit at the intersection of investor and owner-occupier demand, practical for a single resident or a couple who want to live in rather than rent out their unit. Two-bedroom apartments extend the appeal to small families or buyers who need a dedicated second room for guests or remote work. Three-bedroom units target households for whom the waterfront setting is a lifestyle commitment rather than a marginal factor in the purchase decision.
Amenities
| Category | Amenities |
|---|---|
| Wellness | Indoor Swimming Pool, Gymnasium |
| Outdoor | Landscaped Gardens, Children's Play Area |
| Dining | Restaurants |
| Security | CCTV Security |
Six amenities, grouped across wellness, outdoor, dining, and security. The indoor swimming pool is the most practical inclusion for this climate: UAE summers limit outdoor pool use during peak heat, and an indoor facility eliminates that constraint entirely. A gymnasium alongside the pool gives residents a complete in-building fitness option. The on-site restaurant covers daily dining without requiring residents to leave the complex. Landscaped gardens and a children's play area signal that the project is built for family residents, not just for investor-held rental units.
Construction Active, Handover December 2027
Construction started February 2025. Expected completion is December 2027, roughly 18 months from now. The project is past the pre-launch phase: ground has broken and the build is underway. At roughly 18 months to handover, the timeline is defined and the delivery window is measurable rather than open-ended. For buyers who want to enter an off-plan project at a stage where the earliest delivery risk has already passed, this sits in that window.
20% Down, 50% at Handover
| Stage | Payment |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 20% |
| During construction | 30% |
| At handover | 50% |
The 20% down payment aligns with standard UAE off-plan terms. Construction draws 30% across the build period, with the remaining 50% due at handover in December 2027. The defining feature of this plan is the back-loading: the largest single payment, half the purchase price, falls due at the moment of key collection. The structure concentrates financial exposure at delivery rather than distributing it across the build.
