Address The Bay, Emaar Beachfront: Waterfront Living with a Wide Price Ladder
Address The Bay is a residential project by Emaar Properties on Emaar Beachfront in Dubai Harbour. It offers apartments, penthouses, and townhouses, with a price range that spans from entry-level waterfront to high-end branded residences. Construction began in November 2022, with completion targeted for December 2026.
Where Dubai Harbour Puts You
Dubai Harbour sits between Dubai Marina and Palm Jumeirah, two of the city's most established waterfront destinations. That position gives Address The Bay residents direct access to one of the best-connected stretches of the coast. Sheikh Zayed Road and the Marina Metro station are both within a short drive. Dubai International Airport is roughly 35 to 40 minutes in normal traffic. The immediate neighbourhood is Emaar Beachfront, a master-planned community that runs along a private beach strip. For residents, the practical benefit is clear: you get a beachfront address without the isolation that comes with living on Palm Jumeirah.
For investors, Dubai Harbour is still relatively early in its build-out. Buyers entering now are getting in while the area is still forming its full character.
What AED 2.8M to AED 8.5M Buys Here
The price range is wide: AED 2,793,333 at the low end to AED 8,470,270 at the top. That spread reflects the product mix, not just floor levels.
At the lower end, you're looking at apartments, likely one- or two-bedroom units, that represent an entry point into a branded Emaar waterfront address. At the upper end, penthouses and townhouses carry a meaningful premium for size, views, and the privacy that comes with a non-apartment format. Penthouses in particular will capture the best water and skyline views, which explains a large part of that price jump.
Apartments, Penthouses, Townhouses: Three Different Buyers
The three property types attract distinct buyer profiles.
Apartments suit investors seeking rental yield or end-users who want low-maintenance waterfront living.
Penthouses appeal to buyers for whom Dubai Harbour is a primary or secondary residence and who want the combination of a hotel-branded environment with the privacy of a full floor.
Townhouses are for families who want garden or ground-level outdoor space without sacrificing the amenity set that comes with a large-scale Emaar development.
The Amenity Set
| Category | Amenities |
|---|---|
| Beach & Water | Beach Access, Infinity Pool, Children's Pool, Shared Pool, View of Water |
| Fitness & Wellness | Gymnasium, Shared Gym, Shared Spa |
| Family | Children's Play Area, Community Park, Pets Allowed |
| In-Unit | Built-in Wardrobes, Walk-in Closet, Maids Room, Kitchen Appliances, Study, Central A/C, Balcony |
| Services | Concierge, Maid Service, Security, Lobby in Building, Covered Parking |
| Dining | Restaurants |
| Views | View of Landmark |
Beach access and a shared spa stand out in this list. Private beach access in Dubai is genuinely limited, and Emaar Beachfront's beach is one of the few accessible to non-hotel guests in a residential setting. The spa, combined with concierge and maid service, signals that this project is positioned for buyers who expect hotel-adjacent living. The 25-item amenity list, covering fitness, family, and in-unit categories, is more in line with a resort product than a typical residential block.
Completion in December 2026
Construction started in November 2022. The project targets completion in December 2026, which means an off-plan buyer entering today has roughly 18 months until handover. For investors, that's a manageable hold period in a market where off-plan resale before completion has been active. For end-users, the timeline is concrete enough to plan around.
Getting In for 10%
| Stage | Payment |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 10% |
| During construction | 70% |
| Handover | 20% |
The structure front-loads cash across the construction period: 70% is paid in stages before handover, with a 20% final tranche due at completion. The 10% entry point keeps the initial outlay relatively contained for a project at this price level.
