Riwa at Madinat Jumeirah Living by Meraas

Riwa at Madinat Jumeirah Living is a residential project by Meraas in the Madinat Jumeirah Living community in Dubai. It comprises 244 residential units across three residential buildings, offering 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments and 4 bedroom penthouses, with handover estimated for Q3 2027.

Riwa is in Madinat Jumeirah Living, between Al Wasl Road and Jumeirah Beach Road, at the inland end of the community beside the Sports Park. By car, Sheikh Zayed Road is about 2 minutes away, Mall of the Emirates about 5 minutes, Palm Jumeirah about 10 minutes and Dubai International Airport about 25 minutes.

Riwa offers 1 bedroom apartments of approximately 725 to 877 sq ft (67 to 81 sq m), 2 bedroom apartments of approximately 1,232 to 2,453 sq ft (114 to 228 sq m), 3 bedroom apartments of approximately 1,990 to 2,800 sq ft (185 to 260 sq m), and 4 bedroom penthouses of approximately 4,390 sq ft (408 sq m).

Prices start from AED 2.35M ≈ USD 640K for a 1 bedroom apartment. 2 bedroom apartments start from AED 3.15M ≈ USD 858K, 3 bedroom apartments from AED 6.06M ≈ USD 1.65M, and 4 bedroom penthouses from AED 12.00M ≈ USD 3.27M. The final price depends on the specific unit, floor and view.

The developer's launch schedule asks for 20% on booking, six dated instalments totalling 55% between September 2024 and September 2026, and 25% on handover, with the 4% DLD registration fee paid at booking. All six dated instalments now fall in the past, so for a purchase today the amount due at booking, including any catch-up on instalments already fallen due, and the remaining schedule are set by Meraas and written into the SPA.

Meraas estimates handover in Q3 2027. The project is under construction, and its progress against the Dubai Land Department register and RERA inspection data is tracked in the Riwa construction updates guide.

Within Riwa, residents have an outdoor swimming pool set in landscaped gardens, a well-equipped gym, open garden courtyards and a double-height arrival lobby. The wider Madinat Jumeirah Living parkland adds fitness centres, a sports park, play areas and swimming pools for all ages, with the Jumeirah beaches nearby.

Yes, Riwa at Madinat Jumeirah Living is a freehold property, open to all nationalities.

Yes. Every Riwa unit type is priced above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K property investment threshold for the 10 year UAE Golden Visa, starting with the 1 bedroom at AED 2.35M. The dedicated Riwa Golden Visa guide covers the eligibility steps in detail.

Yes. The full process, from reservation and the booking payment to SPA signing and registration, can be completed remotely, and I manage it end to end with the developer on your behalf. Each stage of the remote purchase is documented in my Dubai real estate guide library.

Payments toward the purchase price are made into the project's DLD-registered escrow account with First Abu Dhabi Bank P.J.S.C. and released to the developer only against verified construction progress, a framework regulated by the Dubai Land Department. The Riwa escrow account guide explains how the account works.

At the time of writing, Riwa has limited units available, held directly by Meraas. Remaining stock is released and priced by the developer, so the unit list, the floor and view options and the payment terms change as units sell, and the terms that apply to a purchase are fixed at booking.
