Marina Shores Construction Updates

Construction Snapshot

Marina Shores at a Glance

Marina Shores is Emaar's single 53-storey tower on Plot 58 in Marsa Dubai, registered with the DLD as project 2425 and recorded at 87.18% on 14 May 2026. Divide its 49,091.59 sq m built-up area across 437 registered residences and the shape of the build becomes clear: this is a vertical, compact-footprint project that stacks its density over 52 residential levels rather than spreading it across a plot, which is why the finishing phase carries as much of the schedule as the structure did.

Pace Analysis

How Fast Marina Shores Has Been Built

Pace is what a single percentage cannot tell you. The published record for Marina Shores supports two measures, and it is worth being precise about which is which:

• Dec 2022 start to May 2026 inspection: 0% to 87.18% across roughly 41 monthsAbout 2.1 points per month
• Preceding reading to 14 May 2026: 81.87% to 87.18%, interval not publishedPlus 5.31 points, pace not computable

A phase-by-phase velocity curve needs at least two dated readings, and the RERA record for project 2425 currently publishes one, so this page does not draw a curve it cannot verify. What the record does support is a whole-build average of roughly 2.1 points per month from the 18 December 2022 start to the 87.18% reading, and a verified 5.31-point step to that latest figure. What the inspection brief adds is more useful than a synthetic curve would be: piling, foundations, substructure and superstructure are recorded complete, and the remaining work is MEP installation, facade, external areas and interior finishes. That is the profile of a tower whose visible construction is behind it and whose remaining percentage is bought in commissioning and finishing, which historically moves slowly and then lands. For a buyer weighing the 31 December 2026 registered completion, the useful question is no longer whether the structure will rise but how quickly the finishing trades clear.

Stage Record

Marina Shores Build Stages, Mapped to the Record

Rather than a generic construction sequence, each stage below is anchored to a date or a percentage the record actually carries for project 2425, from DLD registration in July 2022 to the 87.18% reading of May 2026.

What each construction stage involves in general is covered once in the guides on the Dubai Construction Updates hub, so this page stays focused on the Marina Shores record.

Approaching Handover

Between 87.18% and Handover: What Marina Shores Buyers Should Do Now

The 12.82 points still open at Marina Shores are closed by commissioning, finishes and approvals rather than by anything visible from the Promenade, which makes this the window where buyer preparation matters most. Handover notices at comparable projects typically give buyers a short window to complete their appointment, so the three steps below happen now, not when the notice arrives.

First, arrange independent snagging so defects in your residence are documented before you accept it; the Marina Shores snagging page covers timing and the glazing, balcony and high-rise systems checks that matter in a marine-front tower.

Second, confirm your remaining installments against the certified milestones on the Marina Shores escrow account page, so the final payments on an 80/20 structure track verified progress rather than requests.

Third, if your purchase may qualify for residency, settle eligibility before handover through the Marina Shores Golden Visa guide, since the title deed timing affects the application path.
