Layouts and the handover date come from the developer's brochure in our archive. Prices and payment plans from the same source are deliberately not published: they are dated to when the brochure was issued and do not match today's prices. I will send the current ones over WhatsApp.

Developer prices

These are the starting prices as of the date shown, not today's list: off-plan they are revised several times a year, and more often upwards than down.

About the building

A residential building in Al Marjan Island, currently under construction. Developer — BNW Developments.

Specifications for Aqua Arc per Propsearch and the Dubai Land Department. They describe the whole building, not the individual unit.

About the project

Aqua Arc is a residential building in Al Marjan Island, handover is due Q2 2027.

The developer is BNW Developments.

Layouts, according to the developer's brochure — studios, 1, 2 and 3 bedrooms.

No lots from this project are in our database today. It is topped up every night, so listings for the building can turn up on any day.

A BNW building on Al Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah due in Q2 2027: its 226 units are nearly sold out, and one-bedrooms in our stock are discounted by up to 18%.

What it is

Aqua Arc is a residential building by BNW Developments on Al Marjan Island, configured 2B+G+12+R. It's under construction, with handover per the brochure in Q2 2027.

According to the developer's own site and independent portals (Bayut and others), the building has 226 units: 215 one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments, 8 townhouses and 2 penthouses with private pools.

The developer describes the shape as a nod to the Jebel Jais mountains — a roof like cave vaults and water cascading down the facade — with double-height lobbies and private pools in some apartments. That's the developer's description, not a verified specification.

What the developer has left

BNW's inventory as of 1 June 2026 showed 20 of 226 units still available. A month earlier, on 30 April, there were 35 — almost half the remainder went in a month, while the starting price didn't move.

The developer's June prices: one studio from AED 2.54 million (721 ft²), 10 one-bedrooms from AED 2.73 million (1,092–2,427 ft²), 7 two-bedrooms from AED 5.83 million and 2 three-bedrooms from AED 8.77 million.

By comparison, the starting prices in the developer's factsheet were lower: studios from AED 1.65 million, one-bedrooms from AED 2.23 million, two-bedrooms from AED 3.57 million.

Resale in our stock

As of 21 September 2026 we have three one-bedrooms: 750 ft² at AED 1.8 million (−18%), 1,130 ft² at AED 1.8 million (−5%) and 1,240 ft² at AED 3,149,000 (−7%).

The two lots at AED 1.8 million are cheaper than the developer's June entry for one-bedrooms at AED 2.73 million. That's the point of resale in a sold-out building: buying from the first buyer for less than the developer asks today.

Launch and payment plan

The project came to market in August 2024 with an entry price of about AED 2.24 million ($609,000); one-bedroom units then started at 96 m². Apartments are sold furnished, and Q2 2027 was the stated handover from the outset.

The launch plan: 10% on booking, 50% during construction in instalments of 5–10% every three months, 10% on handover and the remaining 30% over 24 months after completion. In practice almost a third of the price can be paid out of rental income.

BNW's own site and independent portals (Bayut and others): 226 units by type, starting prices, configuration 2B+G+12+R. BNW inventory to brokers, 30 April and 1 June 2026: remaining units and prices. Our stock as of 21 September 2026: three lots (price, size, discount). Launch price and payment plan — launch announcement, August 2024.

Handover payment

A mortgage covers the final instalment

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

Already been invoiced, or missed the date? That is not a dead end either — write and we will look at what the developer will accept.
