Marina Shores by Emaar: A Tower at the Heart of Dubai Marina
Marina Shores is a residential high-rise by Emaar Properties in Dubai Marina. The building offers one to four-bedroom apartments and a five-bedroom penthouse, with units spread across floor levels reaching 52. Construction broke ground in December 2022.
Dubai Marina: What This Address Delivers Day to Day
Dubai Marina sits on an artificial canal on Dubai's western coastline. Marina Walk runs directly along the water and is accessible on foot from the building. JBR Beach is within a ten-minute walk. Two Red Line Metro stations serve the neighbourhood, connecting residents to the city without a car. Sheikh Zayed Road runs adjacent to the district, putting Downtown Dubai roughly 20 minutes away by road.
The neighbourhood is dense with restaurants, cafes, and retail at street level. For buyers who want to reduce car dependency for daily errands, Dubai Marina is one of the few places in Dubai where that is genuinely feasible.
AED 1.49M to AED 20.58M: A Range That Covers Four Different Buyer Types
The AED 1,493,410 to AED 20,577,888 price range reflects very different products within the same address. Understanding the spread means understanding who each tier is for.
At the entry end: one-bedroom apartments starting at AED 1.49M, with units from 745 to 877 square feet across floors 4 through 29. These lower and mid-level one-bedrooms are the most accessible product in the building, suited to buyers seeking a Marina address as a first purchase or a rental unit.
Two-bedrooms start at AED 2.55M (1,112-1,223 sq ft) and three-bedrooms from AED 3.35M (1,541-1,848 sq ft). Upper-floor three-bedroom positions at levels 26 to 40 come with improved sightlines. These brackets suit families or buyers upgrading from a one-bedroom.
Four-bedroom apartments begin at AED 6.82M (2,410-2,748 sq ft), occupying the upper floors from level 41. The price jump from the three-bedroom tier reflects the shift to larger floorplates at height.
At the ceiling: a five-bedroom penthouse at AED 20.58M, spanning 8,160 square feet across levels 51 and 52. This is a distinct product from the rest of the stack and targets buyers for whom scale and position in the building are the primary criteria.
What the Amenity Set Signals
| Category | Facilities |
|---|---|
| Pool | Infinity Pool, Shared Pool |
| Recreation | Gymnasium, Tennis Courts, Children's Play Area |
| Views | View of Water, View of Landmark, Balcony |
| On-site | Restaurants, Covered Parking |
| Building | Central A/C, Security |
Twelve amenities cover both the essentials and a few notable extras. The infinity pool paired with water views is the expected anchor for a Marina waterfront tower, and the dual-view listing (water and landmark) points to a building with a favourable orientation within the Marina's built corridor.
Tennis courts are less common than pool-and-gym combinations in towers of this scale. Their inclusion signals that the target resident expects recreational variety beyond standard fitness facilities. The on-site restaurants add convenience for both owner-occupiers and short-stay tenants.
Completion at End of 2026
Expected handover is 31 December 2026, approximately five months from now. For a buyer entering today, this is a late-stage off-plan purchase. The construction phase is near its end, which means fewer milestones remain before delivery.
Getting In for 10%
| Payment Stage | Share |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 10% |
| During construction | 70% |
| On handover | 20% |
The 10% down payment is the entry cost. On the lowest listed price of AED 1.49M, that is approximately AED 149,000 to reserve. The remaining 90% divides between construction-phase instalments and a 20% payment at handover.
There is no post-handover payment option, so the full purchase price settles by December 2026. For buyers using a mortgage, this five-month window to handover sets the relevant financing timeline.
