Marina Shores

A 53-storey Emaar tower in Dubai Marina with 433 residences, under construction. Nineteen of our own lots — AED 1.95 to 8.5 million (~$530K–$2.31M) at a price per square foot around AED 3234 (~$880/ft²).

What it is

Marina Shores is a residential skyscraper in Dubai Marina by Emaar Properties. 53 storeys, 433 residences, stage: under construction. The only confirmed amenity is a pool.

Emaar rarely builds in Marina — the district was mostly developed by other companies, and most of its towers date to the 2000s. A new project by a developer of this profile in an established district is notable in itself.

Nineteen lots, and what they say

Nineteen listings for a single building under construction is a lot. That's what a project looks like when a significant share of early buyers came in for investment and are exiting before handover.

The range runs AED 1.95–8.5 million at a price per square foot around AED 3234, against the district's AED 2625 (~$715/ft²). That's a premium over the district average — a premium for newness and for Emaar's name in an otherwise older district.

For a buyer, nineteen listings within one building is a strong position: you can compare directly, and sellers are competing against each other. It's also a way to cross-check timelines — ask several independently.

A new building in an old district

Marina was built out in the 2000s, and most of its buildings today are resale stock with a history. A new building here gets what its neighbours don't: modern engineering, fresh common areas, and no backlog of capital-works plans.

That's also what explains the premium per square foot. In exchange, the buyer gets predictable ownership costs for the next decade — something buildings from the late 2000s no longer offer.

Dubai Marina in our database is 214 lots, with a median of AED 3.8 million (~$1.03M) — the city's second-deepest market.

Compared with its Emaar neighbour

In summer 2024 Marina Shores and Emaar's completed 52|42 in the Marina made a telling pair. In Marina Shores, still under construction, apartments of 70–80 m² cost USD 462,000–544,000; in the finished 52|42, apartments of about 65 m² went for USD 599,000–626,000.

Before handover the new building offered more space for less money — the usual discount for waiting for the keys. The tower sits on the Marina promenade and has its own retail on the lower levels.
