Getting Into Maritime City for 5%: Anwa Phase 2 by Omniyat Group
Omniyat Group's Anwa Phase 2 is an apartment project in Dubai's Maritime City, in the Anwa II sub-district. The project stands out for one number before anything else: a 5% down payment. With a December 2026 completion and construction already underway for over two years, the project is closer to handover than to launch.
Omniyat Group and the Anwa Development
Omniyat Group is a Dubai-based developer active across residential and hospitality real estate. Anwa Phase 2 is the second phase of the Anwa project in Maritime City. Construction started in April 2024, placing the project roughly two and a half years into its build by the time it delivers in December 2026.
Maritime City: Between the Old City and the Water
Maritime City sits on a peninsula between the old Port Rashid and Dubai Drydocks, south of Bur Dubai. Downtown Dubai and Business Bay are roughly 15 minutes by road. Dubai International Airport is about 20 minutes east. DIFC is a similar distance.
The district is still growing. Retail and infrastructure are not as dense as more established waterfront zones like Dubai Marina or JBR. What Maritime City offers is direct waterfront access closer to the historic city core. That draws both end-users who want that orientation and investors who believe in the district's longer trajectory.
Living here means proximity to Bur Dubai's dining and services, manageable commutes to the financial districts, and a waterfront setting that is less built-out but also less congested than the Marina corridor.
AED 2.1 Million for an Apartment Here
Anwa Phase 2 apartments are listed at AED 2,100,000, with unit configurations from studios through three-bedroom apartments, all under a Type A layout. At AED 2.1M, this project sits in the accessible-to-mid range for waterfront apartments in Dubai.
The single price point covers multiple bedroom configurations. Buyers comparing value per square metre against neighbouring districts should weigh Maritime City's growth stage alongside the waterfront positioning.
Getting In for 5%
| Phase | Payment |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 5% |
| During construction | 55% |
| Handover | 40% |
The 5% down payment is the most notable number in this project's structure. It means a buyer commits approximately AED 105,000 to secure a unit. That is a low entry threshold by any measure.
The 55% during construction spreads across the build period. Given that construction started in April 2024 and the project delivers in December 2026, buyers entering now are near the tail end of that construction payment window. The instalment burden is mostly behind the schedule; the significant balance is the 40% at handover, approximately AED 840,000, due in December 2026.
There is no post-handover payment plan. The full purchase price clears at keys.
What Four Amenities Say About the Project
| Category | Amenities |
|---|---|
| Dining | Restaurants |
| Pool | Shared Pool, Children's Pool |
| Recreation | Children's Play Area |
Anwa Phase 2 has four amenities. The children's pool and play area alongside a shared pool and in-building restaurant point to a family-oriented or mixed-resident profile. This is not a project targeting single young professionals with a gym and co-working focus.
The on-site restaurant is a practical daily-use feature for both residents and tenants. Built-in dining reduces the friction of living in a district where the food and retail scene is still maturing.
December 2026 Delivery: Where You Stand Now
Expected completion is December 2026, roughly six months from today. For a buyer entering at this stage, the off-plan holding period is short. Construction risk is limited to a near-term delivery slip rather than a multi-year uncertainty.
The 40% handover payment falls due alongside the keys in December 2026. Six months is a short runway between now and that date.
