About
About Marina Shores at Dubai Marina
Dubai Marina has been effectively built out for more than a decade, which is the fact that frames everything else about this project. Marina Shores brings 437 new freehold residences and a single five bedroom penthouse to the Promenade in a 53-storey tower, and Emaar is not repeating that supply event in this district. When a mature, high-demand community stops producing new stock, the pricing gap between new-build and aging inventory tends to widen rather than close.
For an end user the appeal is practical rather than theatrical: an open-plan layout with floor-to-ceiling glazing, a balcony facing the water, and the Promenade, the Tram, two Metro stations and Dubai Marina Mall reachable on foot or in minutes. For an investor the case is the entry point. A one bedroom from AED 1.50M in a brand-new Emaar tower on the water sits inside the strongest rental band in the Marina, where short-term and long-term demand both hold up through the cycle, and where resale comparables come from towers ten to twenty years older than this one.
Construction stood at 87.18% at the 14 May 2026 inspection, with completion recorded as 31 December 2026. At this stage the risk profile is very different from a launch: the structure is finished, most of the construction-linked payment schedule is behind the project, and the open question is finishing quality at delivery rather than whether delivery happens.
Insights
Project Insights for Marina Shores Buyers
Buying this close to handover shifts the questions a buyer needs answered. Progress against RERA inspection data, Golden Visa eligibility on units above the threshold, how the escrow account releases funds, and how to inspect a residence before you sign for it all become immediate rather than theoretical. The four guides below cover each one for Marina Shores specifically.

Marina Shores Prices & Sizes
The range runs from a 745 sq ft one bedroom to an 8,161 sq ft penthouse on the top level, and the two ends of that range serve completely different buyers. The one and two bedroom layouts are the rental engine of the tower and the easiest to exit; the four bedroom apartments and the single penthouse are scarcity assets, since nothing comparable is being built in Dubai Marina today. Prices below are the developer's, quoted per unit type and subject to floor level and view orientation.

Marina Shores Payment Plan
Emaar's construction-linked 80/20 structure applies here, but the timing matters more than the headline split. With the tower at 87.18% and handover in December 2026, a buyer entering now inherits a schedule that is largely compressed toward completion, so the practical question is how much of the 70% construction tranche has already been called and what remains before December.
10% + 4% DLD
On Booking
70%
During Construction
20%
On Completion
Because the remaining schedule depends on the construction stage at the time of booking, the funds question arrives quickly for overseas buyers: my guide on how to pay for property in Dubai compares the transfer methods non-residents actually use, from manager's cheques to large international wires. Request the exact remaining payment schedule for your unit.
Why Me
Why Buy Marina Shores Through Tohid Fetrat
With four units left and handover months away, the value of an advisor is not access to a brochure. It is knowing which floors and orientations are still unsold, what the remaining payment schedule actually looks like, and how to protect the purchase at delivery.
Direct developer access to Emaar inventory and releases
One dedicated advisor from first enquiry to handover
Specialist in remote purchases for international and non-resident buyers
Independent construction tracking against RERA inspection data
Personal replies on WhatsApp, never a call center or sales team
My advisory service costs you nothing. The commission is paid by the developer, and you pay the same official price as buying directly, with independent guidance included.

For Buyers
Buy Directly From Emaar Developer Inventory
Four residences remain directly with Emaar at Marina Shores. Buying developer stock this close to completion means the official Emaar price with no resale premium on top, an Oqood registration in your name rather than an assignment from a previous buyer, and in selected cases the balance of the original payment plan still intact through to December 2026.
- Official Emaar prices, no resale markup or transfer premium
- Remaining 80/20 payment plan honored on selected units
- Every payment protected through the project's DLD-registered escrow account

Map
Explore Marina Shores Location on Dubai Map
Marina Shores by Emaar Properties sits on the Promenade in Dubai Marina, the waterfront district Emaar master planned around a 3 km man-made marina on the Gulf coastline. Through Tohid Fetrat's Dubai Investment Map you can place the tower against the rest of the district and compare it with waterfront projects elsewhere in the city.
The address puts Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai Marina Mall, JBR, Bluewaters Island and Dubai Harbour within a short drive, with Palm Jumeirah around ten minutes away and Downtown Dubai roughly twenty.

Marina Shores Location Within Dubai Marina
Inside the district, the tower stands directly on the Dubai Marina Promenade rather than a street or two back from it, and in a community of 150+ towers that distinction is the whole argument. Promenade frontage means the yacht harbour, the Marina Walk cafes and the retail run are a walk rather than a drive, and it means the view corridor toward the water and Palm Jumeirah is not something a future building can take away. For investors that translates into the part of the Marina that has always held its premium on resale and short-term rental. The district picture, from sub-communities to transaction history, is covered in my Dubai Marina community guide.

Connectivity
Connectivity from Marina Shores
The Promenade is the front door and Sheikh Zayed Road is the back one, which is why the Marina rents as reliably as it does. Bluewaters Island, JBR and Palm Jumeirah are short drives, Downtown is a straight run up Sheikh Zayed Road, and both airports are reachable without crossing the city. Rail is the underrated part: Dubai Marina is served by the Tram and by Red Line stations at the edge of the district, and my Dubai Metro guide explains how station proximity shapes tenant demand and long term value across Dubai.

Interiors
Interior Design at Marina Shores
The interiors follow Emaar's restrained contemporary line rather than a design statement: neutral tones, light wood joinery, stone-look counters, and floor-to-ceiling glazing that turns the water into the feature wall. That restraint is deliberate and, in my experience, commercially sensible. Layouts stay open plan and easy to furnish, finishes stay neutral enough for a tenant or a buyer five years out, and the glazing does the work the marketing usually tries to do.

Marina Shores Frequently Asked Questions
Marina Shores is a waterfront residential tower by Emaar Properties on the Dubai Marina Promenade. It holds 437 residences across 53 floors, comprising 1 to 4 bedroom apartments and a single 5 bedroom penthouse on the top level, with marina, Gulf, and Palm Jumeirah views.
The tower sits directly on the Dubai Marina Promenade within Dubai Marina, with Dubai Marina Mall, JBR, Bluewaters Island, Palm Jumeirah, the Dubai Tram, and Sheikh Zayed Road all close by.
The unit mix is 180 one bedroom apartments, 172 two bedroom, 62 three bedroom, 22 four bedroom, and one five bedroom penthouse. Sizes run from 745 sq ft (69 sq m) for a one bedroom to 8,161 sq ft (758 sq m) for the penthouse.
Construction was recorded at 87.18% at the inspection dated 14 May 2026, with the project registered as active and expected to complete on 31 December 2026. Progress against each inspection is tracked in the Marina Shores construction updates guide.
Handover is scheduled for December 2026. With the tower past 87% completion, most of the construction-linked payment schedule falls behind the project rather than ahead of it, which is why buyers entering at this stage should ask for the remaining schedule on the specific unit.
Emaar applies an 80/20 construction-linked plan: 10% plus the 4% DLD fee on booking, 70% in instalments during construction, and 20% on completion. The instalments already called depend on the construction stage at the time of purchase.
Residences priced at or above AED 2M ≈ USD 545K meet the property investment threshold for the 10 year UAE Golden Visa, which covers the 2, 3, and 4 bedroom apartments and the penthouse. A single one bedroom from AED 1.50M falls below the threshold on its own, although eligible investments may combine multiple Dubai properties under one ownership profile. The Marina Shores Golden Visa guide sets out the eligibility steps in detail.
Yes. Marina Shores is freehold, open to all nationalities, and located within the Dubai Marina freehold zone, so international buyers can own, lease, sell, and inherit the property under UAE property law.
All off plan payments are made into the project's DLD-registered escrow account, held with Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank (ADCB), and released to the developer only against verified construction progress. The framework is regulated by the Dubai Land Department and supervised by RERA. Account and verification details are set out in the Marina Shores escrow account guide.
Yes. Reservation, SPA signing, payment, and Oqood registration can all be completed from abroad, and I manage the process end to end with the developer on your behalf. Each stage of a remote purchase is documented in my Dubai real estate guide library.
Most buyers use the developer's payment plan, since off plan mortgage options for non-residents are limited. Financing becomes more accessible at handover, when a completed unit qualifies for the standard UAE mortgage products available to non-residents.
The case rests on scarcity and rental depth rather than a discount: Dubai Marina is a mature district producing almost no new supply, so a brand-new Emaar tower on the Promenade competes against stock that is largely ten to twenty years older. Whether it suits you depends on entry price, holding horizon, and exit route. The smaller layouts trade on rental yield and liquidity, while the four bedroom apartments and the penthouse behave as scarcity assets with a thinner but less price-sensitive buyer pool.

Snagging Inspection Before You Take the Keys
The handover notice is your one window to have defects corrected at Emaar's cost. In a 53-storey waterfront tower the issues that matter are specific: floor-to-ceiling glazing seals in a marine environment, balcony drainage on exposed elevations, and water pressure on the upper floors. An independent inspection documents all of it before you sign for the unit.
Book Your Inspection
Send me your unit number and handover date. I coordinate a certified independent snagging team, and you do not need to be in Dubai.
Full Defect Report
You receive a photographed, itemized report covering finishes, glazing, balconies, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC.
Developer Rectification
The report is submitted to Emaar Properties for repair, with a de-snagging re-check before you accept the unit.
