Our own stock as of 28 August 2026: 34 lots across the district, median AED 3 million, average price AED 2,988/ft². Samples are small — most projects have one to three lots, so the figures show an order of magnitude rather than an exact price.
Five apartments per floor against twenty-one
Maritime City in our database totals 34 lots, median AED 3 million, average price AED 2,988/ft².
In one small district, two buildings of very different density are going up at the same time: Coral Reef with five apartments per floor, and Breez with twenty-one. These are fundamentally different products at the same address.
A dense building gives a low entry price and high liquidity for a small lot. A spacious one gives fewer neighbours, less load on lifts and common areas, and less competition on resale.
The choice isn't really about district or developer — it's this figure. It says more about future life in the building than storey count or the renders do.
Launch pricing and payment plan
Coral Reef went on sale in August 2023. At launch, one-bedroom units started from USD 451,000 (about AED 1.66 million), two-bedrooms from USD 688,000 (about AED 2.53 million) and three-bedrooms from USD 906,000 (about AED 3.33 million).
The plan was 20/50/30: 20% on booking, 50% during construction and 30% on completion, which was then targeted for 2028. The theme is marine — ocean- and coral-inspired interiors, an indoor pool with LED lighting, a waterfront restaurant, beach areas and a promenade.
propsearch listing: 48 storeys, 279 residences, developer Damac Properties, status "under construction". Our own stock as of 28 August 2026: 2 lots (sizes, prices, price per ft²), data for Breez by Danube, the Maritime City median and average. Launch prices, payment plan, stated completion and amenities — launch announcement, August 2023.
The final payment on this building falls in 2028 — 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

A peninsula between two harbours, planned as a hub for shipbuilding and ship repair, with residential towers on the same land. Here the neighbours matter more than the view.
