Bay Grove Residences Phase 3: Nakheel Continues Building on Dubai Islands
Bay Grove Residences Phase 3 is a residential development from Nakheel on Dubai Islands. Three buildings, numbered 5, 6, and 7, form this phase, with a unit mix running from one-bedroom apartments to four-bedroom duplexes. Nakheel is the government-linked master developer behind Dubai Islands, and Bay Grove is one of the residential clusters within that broader master plan.
Living on Dubai Islands
Dubai Islands is located off the Deira coastline, north of central Dubai. The drive to Downtown Dubai runs roughly 30 to 40 minutes by road, while Dubai International Airport sits considerably closer, typically under 20 minutes. The island has beach frontage and a direct waterfront orientation that forms the core appeal of the address.
Deira is the nearest adjacent district on the mainland, with established retail, healthcare facilities, and public transport links within easy reach. For residents, that combination of a waterfront island address with the proximity of a mature urban district is the practical case for Dubai Islands as a location.
AED 2 Million to AED 8.8 Million: What the Range Covers
The AED 2 million to AED 8.8 million spread is large, but the logic is consistent. Each bedroom tier carries its own entry price, and within each tier the size variation is significant. Four configurations, four buyer profiles.
One-bedroom apartments start at AED 2 million, with layouts ranging from 860 to 1,354 sq ft depending on the type. Multiple layout variants exist across Buildings 5, 6, and 7, so the same entry price covers a meaningful size range.
Two-bedroom units begin at AED 2.8 million. Standard layouts start around 1,300 sq ft, while the larger maid-room configurations reach 2,293 sq ft.
Three-bedroom apartments open at AED 4.8 million with eight distinct layout types across the three buildings. Sizes run from 2,086 to 3,626 sq ft, meaning two units at the same headline price can differ by over 1,500 sq ft.
Four-bedroom duplexes are priced from AED 8.8 million, sized between 3,358 and 3,626 sq ft. These are limited to Buildings 5 and 6.
Apartments and Duplexes
The project is weighted toward apartments. Duplexes appear only in Buildings 5 and 6, all in the four-bedroom format. Building 7 is exclusively apartments, running from one- to two-bedroom layouts in several configurations.
One- and two-bedroom apartments are the entry investment format at this address. Three-bedroom units span enough size variety to suit both investors and owner-occupiers, depending on the layout chosen. The duplex format targets families who want large floor areas and stacked living space within a managed residential building.
The Amenity Set and What It Signals
| Category | Facilities |
|---|---|
| Water and Recreation | Infinity Pool, Children's Pool, Barbecue Area |
| Family | Children's Play Area |
| Fitness and Green Space | Gymnasium, Landscaped Gardens |
| Dining and Services | Restaurants, Work and Study, Lobby in Building, Security |
Ten amenities across three buildings is a thorough provision. The Infinity Pool is the expected headline facility. More distinctive is the Work and Study space, a dedicated co-working environment within the building. The combination of children's pool, children's play area, and barbecue space points toward a community built for family occupiers rather than purely transient rental stock.
Handover in March 2029
Construction began in February 2025. Expected completion is March 2029, roughly four years away. The 2025 construction start means the project is in active early-stage build. Off-plan buyers entering today are looking at a long cycle, with capital deployed progressively across four construction years before handover.
20% Down, Settled at Handover
| Payment Stage | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 20% |
| During construction | 50% |
| At handover | 30% |
The 20% down payment is the standard Dubai off-plan entry figure. The largest tranche, 50%, is spread across the construction period through to early 2029. The final 30% falls due at handover, with no post-handover installment option. All payments settle at the point of key transfer.
