Metac Properties: what “beachfront” means on a reclaimed island
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.

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 13-storey Metac Properties building on Dubai Islands, completed in 2026 — one of the district's few finished homes, with generously sized one-bedrooms.
What it is
Haven Living is a 13-storey residential building on Dubai Islands. Developer: Metac Properties; design by Face Architecture & Design. Completed in 2026. The unit count isn't in the passport.
The unit-by-unit inventory of 6 October 2025 showed five units free in the whole building. One-bedrooms here are large — from 1,219 ft² — and the single two-bedroom with a study measures 3,257 ft², a format other buildings would call a penthouse.
That quote is more than six months old, so we don't show prices.
A finished building among foundations
Dubai Islands in our stock: 77 lots, and of the 57 with a known status only two are ready. District median AED 5.5 million, AED 2,248/ft².
Against that, a completed building is scarce: you can view it in person and let it immediately rather than wait for the district to fill in. The flip side is several more years of construction around it.
The district has changed its concept twice, and the current master plan isn't set in stone either. Buying ready here gets you an early entry, but you'll be living in or letting out a district that is still taking shape.
The project at launch
In autumn 2023, before the official launch, Haven Living was presented as the first residential project of a company that had worked as main contractor for Nakheel and Emaar. One- to four-bedroom apartments and a duplex were announced, on a flexible payment plan.
Handover was then promised for Q4 2025; according to the passport the building was completed in 2026, a modest slip.
Propsearch passport: 13 storeys, developer Metac Properties, design by Face Architecture & Design, completed 2026. Inventory of 6 October 2025: 5 free units, sizes. Our stock as of 21 September 2026: no lots in this project; Dubai Islands — 77 lots, median and price per square foot. Developer background, unit mix and promised date — project announcement, October 2023.

What has been written about the building, its developer and Dubai Islands
Dubai Islands to Bur Dubai bridge: 1.4 km, eight lanes and a late-2026 opening
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.
Dubai Islands: the last waterfront land, from about $5 200 a square metre
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.
