Vida Residences +117%: what the Dubai Marina project statistics actually show
The largest developer’s return to Dubai Marina prompted a look at its earlier projects there. The valuable number in that statistic is not the growth percentage.

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.
About the project
W Residences 3 is a residential community in Dubai Marina, handover is due Q4 2028.
Layouts, according to the developer's brochure — studios and 1 bedroom.
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.
The third phase of W Residences in Dubai Harbour: studios and one-bedrooms, with handover in Q4 2028 per the brochure.
What we know about it
W Residences 3 is a Dubai Harbour project — by its name, the phase after W Residences 2. It has no propsearch passport: the developer, storey count and number of apartments aren’t in our data.
The developer’s brochure lists studios and one-bedroom apartments, handover Q4 2028. We don’t quote the brochure prices — they’ve been out of date since it was released. There are no units from the project in our stock right now.
Two phases, different dates and formats
According to its brochure, the second phase hands over a year earlier, in Q4 2027, and is studios only. The third adds one-bedrooms — for buyers who need more than a studio.
In the same quarter our directory also has Dubai Harbour Residences by Shamal Holding, Sobha Seahaven and Damac Bay by Cavalli — useful comparisons once a concrete offer appears.
The benchmark next door in Dubai Marina: 239 units, median AED 3.75 million, AED 2,447/ft². Rental demand there rests on the walkable promenade, the metro and the tram.
No propsearch passport for the project (the record resolves to Dubai Harbour). Developer brochure in our archive: studios and one-bedrooms, handover Q4 2028; for the second phase — studios, Q4 2027. Our stock as of 21 September 2026: no units in the project; Dubai Marina — 239 units, median and price per square foot.

Ask about this project Handover payment
A mortgage covers the final instalment
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
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.

Dubai Marina. The original high-rise waterfront: a dense forest of towers around a man-made marina, and still the busiest rental market in the city.
