Mangrove by Emaar: Creek Beach Apartments at Their Handover Window
Mangrove by Emaar is a residential development by Emaar Properties at Creek Beach, inside Dubai Creek Harbour, a waterfront master community on the eastern edge of Dubai. The development occupies the Mangrove at Creek Beach sub-area. Apartments run from 614 to 1,700 sq ft across 1, 2, and 3-bedroom configurations in two buildings.
Creek Beach: Location and Commute
Creek Beach occupies the waterfront section of Dubai Creek Harbour. The district sits approximately 10 to 15 minutes from Dubai International Airport by car and around 20 minutes from Downtown Dubai. Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary borders the community to the west. The positioning between Deira and Business Bay gives residents road access to two of Dubai's main employment and commercial zones. Direct beach access within the community is the defining feature of living on Creek Beach.
For investors, Dubai Creek Harbour's waterfront position on the eastern edge of the city and Emaar's presence as developer are the primary draw.
Apartments: 1 to 3 Bedrooms
Mangrove offers 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, and 3-bedroom apartments across two buildings.
- 1-bedroom: 614 to 756 sq ft, starting from AED 1,480,000
- 2-bedroom: 987 to 1,059 sq ft, starting from AED 2,310,000
- 3-bedroom: 1,488 to 1,700 sq ft, starting from AED 3,490,000
The 1-bedroom entry at 614 to 756 sq ft suits singles or couples. Two-bedroom apartments at around 1,000 sq ft offer a workable family layout. The 3-bedroom units, reaching up to 1,700 sq ft, are the most spacious option in the project.
The price step from 1 to 2 bedrooms is AED 830,000 for roughly 250 to 400 sq ft of additional space. Moving from 2 to 3 bedrooms requires a larger premium: AED 1,180,000 above the 2-bedroom entry price, with the largest layouts reaching 1,700 sq ft. The ceiling of the range is AED 4,109,888 for the top 3-bedroom unit.

Seven amenities in total. The infinity pool in a Creek Beach setting is a practical draw: outdoor water features have genuine year-round use in this climate. The landscaped gardens and barbecue area extend that outdoor orientation. The gym and fitness centre are standard inclusions at this price tier. The children's play area, alongside the 2 and 3-bedroom unit mix, signals a family-oriented resident profile alongside rental investors.
The Build Phase Is Done
Construction began in May 2024. The scheduled completion date was July 31, 2026, which has now passed. The project ran a 26-month build cycle. Mangrove is at its planned handover point.

| Phase | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 10% |

The 10% down payment is notably low. On a 1-bedroom at AED 1,480,000, the initial stake was AED 148,000. On the top 3-bedroom unit at AED 4,109,888, it is approximately AED 411,000. The construction-period instalments total 70% of the purchase price, paid across the build phase. The 20% at handover is the final payment, due at the point of completion.
