About
About Ocean Star at Rashid Yachts & Marina
Ocean Star is the low rise end of what Emaar Properties is building at Mina Rashid. Instead of a single tower, the project places 154 apartments across two buildings that rise to four and six storeys over a shared basement and ground level, with the entertainment area and common facilities set on the first floor. For a household, that scale is the point: fewer neighbours per lift core, shorter waits, and podium amenities you reach on foot rather than by elevator queue.
My read for investors is that the scarcity here is structural rather than promotional. Mina Rashid is a finite waterfront strip, and low rise apartment stock inside it is a small share of what Emaar has released. Entry at AED 1.70M for a one bedroom keeps the project inside the mid market band that rents and resells fastest in Dubai, while the July 2028 handover gives a buyer entering now a long runway of instalments rather than a lump sum at completion.
A health clinic sits inside the property and a school is a short walk away, with a nursery and community parks in the same district. For end users with children that removes the daily drive that usually decides between two otherwise similar waterfront addresses.

The unit mix tells you who the project was drawn for: 58 one bedroom homes, 76 two bedroom homes and 20 three bedroom homes. The weight sits on two bedroom layouts, which is the size band that holds value best in a waterfront community once the rental market matures. Note where the Golden Visa threshold falls: it runs between the one bedroom and two bedroom tiers, so the residency question is decided at the point you choose a layout, not later.

Ocean Star at Rashid Yachts & Marina Payment Plan
On booking
During construction, in eight equal payments
On handover in July 2028
Emaar structured Ocean Star as ten equal payments of 10%, spread from the booking in March 2024 through to handover in July 2028. Read as an investor, that is a genuinely light carry: no single instalment exceeds a tenth of the price, and nothing balloons at completion. Read as an end user, it means the cost of ownership arrives in predictable steps you can plan a salary or a rental exit around. The developer's schedule of record runs March 2024, May 2024, October 2024, March 2025, September 2025, June 2026, December 2026, May 2027, October 2027 and July 2028. Several of those dates have already passed, so this is the plan the project was sold on rather than a live offer: a buyer entering today settles the instalments already due at booking and then continues on the remaining dates. A 4% DLD registration fee applies on top. How you move the funds matters as much as when, and my guide on how to pay for property in Dubai compares the methods international buyers actually use. Request the exact remaining payment schedule for your unit.

For Buyers
Buy Directly From Emaar Properties Developer Inventory
Ocean Star is under construction with handover scheduled for July 2028, which is the window where developer stock still exists and pricing is still set by Emaar rather than by the resale market. Two routes are open at this stage, and they suit different buyers.
- Units still held by Emaar carry official pricing with no resale premium
- The original payment structure where it remains available
- Every payment routed through the project's DLD-registered escrow account
- A live list with layouts, floors, orientation and views, so you choose from what genuinely exists rather than from a brochure
- Entry at AED 1.70M inside an Emaar waterfront community, with the balance of a 10% instalment plan running to 2028
Map
Explore Ocean Star at Rashid Yachts & Marina Location on Dubai Map
Ocean Star by Emaar Properties sits inside Rashid Yachts & Marina at Mina Rashid, the historic port district on the creek side of old Dubai rather than the newer southern corridors. Through Tohid Fetrat's Dubai Investment Map you can place it against every other waterfront community and compare catchments before you compare price lists.
The practical value of this position is direction of travel. Sheikh Zayed Road is roughly 10 minutes away, Dubai International Airport about 15, and the Downtown core, the Dubai Mall and Dubai Creek Harbour sit around 20 minutes out, which keeps both the business districts and the airport inside a short commute without paying Downtown prices.
Location
Ocean Star Location Within Rashid Yachts & Marina
Inside the marina masterplan, Ocean Star occupies the residential band set back from the berths, with the Canal Pool running through the plot and the promenade, high street shops and cafes within walking distance. Its neighbours are Emaar's other apartment clusters in the district, which matters in two ways: the streetscape around it will be finished by the same developer to the same standard, and the resale comparables for your unit will sit on the same few streets rather than across the city. The district as a whole, including the marina itself and the retail spine, is covered in my Rashid Yachts & Marina community guide.
Mina Rashid, DubaiConnectivity
Connectivity from Ocean Star at Rashid Yachts & Marina
Mina Rashid sits at the top of the old city, which puts Ocean Star closer to the airport and to Deira, Bur Dubai and the creek than most newer waterfront communities, while Sheikh Zayed Road carries you south to the business districts. The district is also served by the Dubai Metro Green Line at Al Ghubaiba, so a resident without a car is not stranded, and my Dubai Metro guide explains how proximity to the network tends to shape rental demand and long term value across the city.

Interiors
Interior Design at Ocean Star
The specification is documented rather than implied, which is unusual enough at this price point to be worth reading closely. Walls are finished in RAL 9010 paint, floors and skirtings in Madison Stone Ivory porcelain tile, joinery in Silver Legno Oak with Ceramic Suede 21161 upper cabinets and carcasses, veneer in Alpi 10.87 Natural Oak, countertops and backsplashes in Silestone Et. Calacatta Gold Pulido, and cabinet fronts in 6mm ribbed glass.
My read is that this is a light, neutral palette chosen to age slowly: porcelain and engineered quartz rather than softer surfaces, oak tones rather than a trend colour. For an owner occupier it means fewer decisions at handover. For a landlord it means a unit that photographs well and rents without a furnishing package fighting the finishes.
