About the project
Marina Promenade is a residential complex of several buildings in Dubai Marina, completed in 2008.
The architecture is by Zeidler Partnership Architects.
The tallest tower rises 35 storeys.
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.
Thirty-five storeys right on the waterfront, handed over in 2008, designed by the Canadian firm Zeidler. Six lots in our own stock from AED 2.05 to 5.1 million (~$560K–$1.39M).
What it is
Marina Promenade is a 35-storey residential complex completed in 2008. The architect is Zeidler Partnership Architects, a Canadian firm.
Our own stock carries six listings: one- and two-bedrooms, around 1748 square feet, priced from AED 2.05 to 5.1 million, all ready. Price per square foot is AED 2272 (~$620/ft²).
Six lots in one complex is decent depth for Marina — there's actually something to compare within the building, which is unusual.
Price per square foot by district tower
Marina Promenade sits just below the district average, which is a typical position for a completed building from the late 2000s with large layouts.
The table shows the district's defining trait: the address "Dubai Marina" alone tells you nothing about price. The gap between the top and bottom of the list runs 2.8 times.

A waterfront building versus one set back
Dubai Marina in our database is 266 lots, with a median of AED 3.7 million (~$1.01M) and an average price of AED 2,588 per square foot (~$705/ft²).
Position relative to the waterfront is one of the biggest price factors within the district, and it shows up in neither the building record nor the listing — it can only be checked on a map, and on site. It's the kind of dense waterfront tower cluster an international buyer might mentally file next to Vancouver's Coal Harbour — being on the water rather than a block back changes the price bracket, not just the view.
The second factor is what stands opposite. Marina was built over twenty years, and a 2008 tower may well have picked up a neighbour twice its height after residents moved in. Check the view from the specific apartment yourself.

No open lots for the building today. I will check the price of the layout you are after in the closed databases and send it with every cost of the deal worked out.
