About the project
Agua Residences is an 11-storey residential building in Dubai Islands, currently under construction.
The developer is Citi Developers. The architecture is by Model Engineering Consultants.
The building holds 61 apartments in total.
The database currently holds 1 lot in this project, from 2 850 000 AED.
Two eleven-storey buildings on the Dubai Islands, five minutes from the beach and marina. Private pools in the apartments, SMEG appliances, Villeroy & Boch tableware; payment runs as a percentage per month.
What's included in the apartment
Private pools, exclusive furniture, tableware, SMEG appliances. Finish with natural wood and stone.
A turnkey specification down to the tableware means the apartment is ready to let the day the keys are handed over. For a resort island that matters — the season starts quickly, and a month of downtime for furnishing costs money.
The flip side: you're paying for someone else's choice of furniture and tableware as part of the apartment's price. If you plan to live there yourself, it's worth seeing the specification in person.
Shared amenities
A cigar lounge, business centre, cinema, Roman baths and spa; the rooftop has an infinity pool with canopies, waterside lounge areas and a bar.
It's a rich list, and it's what drives the service charge. Roman baths and a spa cost noticeably more to maintain than a standard pool — ask for the figure before the deal.
The island
Dubai Islands is a resort-focused reclaimed archipelago: beaches, promenades, hotels, shops and restaurants. It's five minutes from the building to the beach and marina, with sea and park views from the windows.
Seller's materials at sales launch: complex composition, apartment specification and payment scheme.
The final payment on this building falls in 2027 — under off-plan plans that is
40–60% of the price in one go. A UAE bank closes it: the flat becomes the security,
and nothing is added on top of what the developer has already been paid.
Up to 80% of the appraised value, no extra down payment
3.99% fixed for three years, up to 25 years in term
6–12 months before the keys — the bank wants six months of income history

11. The building has 61 apartments.
When is Agua Residences handed over?
The project is under construction. I check the exact date for a particular unit in the contract before the deal.
Where is Agua Residences?
Dubai Islands. The reclaimed islands off Deira, formerly Deira Islands: beaches, hotels and new residential on the northern coast.
How much does an apartment in Agua Residences cost?
The database currently holds 1 lot in this project, from 2 850 000 AED. Prices in the base are live and update every day; ask for the current list for the building before deciding.
A 1 425 m bridge across Dubai Creek will link Dubai Islands directly to Bur Dubai: four lanes each way, 16 000 vehicles an hour, 18.5 m above the water. The AED 786m contract targets completion by the end of 2026. What the bridge changes for the islands and the old city.
CG Developers is building Dubai's first JW Marriott residence, priced from AED 1.72 million with a Q1 2028 handover. In parallel, Nakheel has awarded a AED 527 million contract for Island B's core infrastructure — roads, water and sewage for a future 49 000 homes.
A chain of reclaimed islands under a single government master plan. Almost no coastal land with direct beach access is left inside the emirate — and one or two new projects launch here every month. The opportunity and the risk are the same fact.
A developer building on the Dubai Islands. Between handover and the first tenant there is a list of connections and registrations, and every one of them needs someone on the ground.
A developer building on the Dubai Islands. The dirham’s peg to the dollar shapes the currency risk for every foreign buyer — and the transfer mechanics have costs of their own.
A developer building villas on the Dubai Islands. A house bought off-plan on new land combines two kinds of waiting, and they resolve on different timetables.
A developer with two projects on the Dubai Islands. Beach access is sold as a feature and defined as a legal arrangement — and the two are not always the same thing.
A mid-market company that went from a handful of projects to a large pipeline in a few years. What rapid growth does to risk, and the specific evidence that separates a good scaler from a stretched one.
The state developer behind Palm Jumeirah and the Dubai Islands. The difference between a master developer and a building developer, and why it matters for what you own.

I will send the available layouts, the real entry price and what owners and tenants actually say about the building — without the brochure language.
