Eligibility Snapshot
Pier Point 1 at Rashid Yachts & Marina Golden Visa Facts
Pier Point 1 is a 122 home freehold development by Emaar Properties inside the Rashid Yachts & Marina waterfront community, registered with the Dubai Land Department as project number 3304 on 23 September 2024, under construction since 22 February 2025 and certified at 8.27% progress at the RERA inspection of 14 May 2026. The figure that decides residency planning here is the entry price rather than the address: 1 Bedroom apartments start at AED 1.93M ≈ USD 526K, below the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum property investment applied under the UAE Golden Visa program, so the entry tier does not qualify on its own. Eligibility on a single purchase begins one tier up, at the 2 Bedroom apartment from AED 2.87M ≈ USD 781K, and holds through the 3 Bedroom apartment from AED 4.07M ≈ USD 1.11M and the 3 Bedroom townhouse from AED 8.73M ≈ USD 2.38M, subject to the regulations in force when an application is made. Handover is expected in Oct 2028, when Oqood registration converts to a title deed.

Unit by Unit
Which Pier Point 1 Residences Meet the AED 2M Threshold
At Pier Point 1 the residency question and the budget question do not share an answer. The entry apartment is priced just under the line, so a buyer choosing on instalment size alone can end up with a home that works and a file that does not. The table sets every released type against the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum, because the number that will be assessed is the one recorded on the contract, not the one on the price list cover.
| Unit Type | Built-Up Area | Starting Price | Qualifies Alone |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Bedroom Apartment | 774 to 811 sq ft (72 to 75 sq m) | AED 1.93M ≈ USD 526K | No |
| 2 Bedroom Apartment | 1,213 to 1,373 sq ft (113 to 128 sq m) | AED 2.87M ≈ USD 781K | Yes |
| 3 Bedroom Apartment | 1,669 to 1,907 sq ft (155 to 177 sq m) | AED 4.07M ≈ USD 1.11M | Yes |
| 3 Bedroom Townhouse | 2,643 to 2,667 sq ft (246 to 248 sq m) | AED 8.73M ≈ USD 2.38M | Yes |
| Three of the four released types clear AED 2M ≈ USD 545K on a single purchase. The 1 Bedroom apartment sits below the threshold and does not qualify on its own. | |||
Why this matters: eligibility is assessed on the registered purchase value, so a 2 Bedroom apartment contracted at AED 2.87M ≈ USD 781K sits above the threshold from registration onward, while a 1 Bedroom contracted at AED 1.93M ≈ USD 526K does not reach it. Resale and secondary units priced below AED 2M ≈ USD 545K do not qualify on their own either, so the value written on your own contract is the figure to confirm before applying.
Payment Plan and Timing
When a Pier Point 1 Buyer Can Start the Application
Pier Point 1 sells on an 80/20 plan: 10% on booking plus the 4% Dubai Land Department registration fee, seven further instalments of 10% each across the build, and the closing 20% at the Oct 2028 completion milestone. Off plan applications are typically supported by the Oqood registration Emaar Properties completes after booking, together with evidence that the purchase meets the qualifying value and whatever paid value condition the Dubai Land Department and the residency authorities apply at the time of the application.
My read on the timing: this schedule was set at the September 2024 launch, so a buyer entering now joins it partway through rather than at the first instalment, and the paid share on a qualifying unit reaches 80% by the seventh instalment, with only the completion payment left outstanding. That matters because the paid value condition, where one is applied, is the part of an off plan file that usually decides how early it can go in. Buyers who want residency early, to move a family or open UAE accounts, generally apply during construction on the Oqood registered contract once the condition in force is met. Buyers with no deadline often prefer the simplest possible file and wait for the title deed at handover, when the application rests on completed registered ownership. Conditions for off plan applications are updated from time to time, so confirm the current paid value requirement before submitting rather than relying on what applied to an earlier buyer.

The Project
The Marina Community Behind a Ten Year Residency
A residency earned on a property runs for ten years, and the home that earns it should still make sense at the end of that term. The full Pier Point 1 guide covers the layouts, the price list, the amenity deck and the marina masterplan wrapped around it.

Project Insights for a Golden Visa Purchase at Pier Point 1
A qualifying purchase here rests on more than the price tier. The build has to reach the title deed that ends the off plan phase, and every instalment on the way there has to land in the account the Dubai Land Department supervises. Both records are open, and both are tracked below.

Pier Point 1 at Rashid Yachts & Marina Golden Visa Frequently Asked Questions
Three of the four released types. The 2 Bedroom apartment from AED 2.87M ≈ USD 781K, the 3 Bedroom apartment from AED 4.07M ≈ USD 1.11M and the 3 Bedroom townhouse from AED 8.73M ≈ USD 2.38M each sit above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum property investment applied under the program. The 1 Bedroom apartment from AED 1.93M ≈ USD 526K sits below it and does not qualify on its own. The qualifying categories in full are set out in the Dubai Golden Visa requirements guide.
It does not meet the property investment minimum on its own. Eligibility is assessed on the value registered against the purchase, so a 1 Bedroom apartment contracted at AED 1.93M ≈ USD 526K stays under the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K line however the payments are structured. On this project the qualifying route on a single purchase starts one tier up, at the 2 Bedroom apartment from AED 2.87M ≈ USD 781K.
Two points in the timeline are commonly used. An application can be prepared during construction on the strength of the Oqood registered contract, once any paid value condition applied at that time is satisfied, or it can wait until the title deed is issued at the Oct 2028 handover, when the file rests on completed registered ownership. Off plan conditions are updated from time to time, so the requirement in force on the day of submission is the one that counts. The sequence is described in the off-plan property Golden Visa guide.
Oqood is the Dubai Land Department registration of an off plan sale in the buyer name, and it is the document off plan applications are normally built around before completion. It is not the title deed. At Pier Point 1 the title deed follows at the Oct 2028 handover, which is why some buyers prepare the application during construction and others wait for the deed.
Yes. Pier Point 1 at Rashid Yachts & Marina is freehold and open to all nationalities, and registered ownership recorded with the Dubai Land Department is what a property based application is assessed against. Ownership recorded in the buyer name is the starting condition; the value of the purchase then decides whether the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum is met.
Ten years, renewable, which is the current term of the program for a qualifying property investment. Renewal depends on the conditions in force at the time of renewal and on the qualifying property still being held. The term and what it covers are detailed in the Dubai Golden Visa benefits guide.
Family sponsorship is part of the program rather than of any single project, and the scope and documentation for dependants are set by the residency authorities and updated from time to time. The current position on spouse and children sponsorship is covered in the Dubai Golden Visa benefits guide, and the paperwork sequence in the UAE Golden Visa application guide.
No. For buyers who purchase through this advisory, the VIP application service, covering document preparation, submission and status follow up, is included at no charge. Only the official government fees apply, as published by the issuing authorities at the time of application. The service being free carries no implication about the outcome of an application.
No. A purchase above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum makes an application possible; approval rests on meeting every requirement in force at the time of application, including ownership verification and the standard checks the authorities run. Construction progress toward the Oct 2028 title deed can be followed on the Pier Point 1 construction updates page.
