Solaya by Meraas: Jumeirah 1 Beachfront Baseline Record
Solaya by Meraas pairs two low-rise buildings of 55 residences at Port De La Mer, read 0% on 8 June 2026.

Verified Progress, Inspection Activity, and Handover Timing Across Port de La Mer in Jumeirah 1
Port de La Mer construction updates on this page follow the new beachfront residences Meraas is adding to its freehold marina community in Jumeirah 1, each one checked against official RERA inspection data. New supply here is scarce, so timing is the real question: how far a site moves between two inspections tells a buyer more about handover than the quarter quoted at launch.
Tracked from The Opus by Omniyat, inside Business BayEach card shows a Port de La Mer project at its most recent RERA inspection, with progress, inspection date and expected completion side by side. The neighborhoods around these sites are already finished and lived in, so a new building here is judged against a completed waterfront rather than a construction zone, and its pace matters accordingly.

I am Tohid Fetrat, a Dubai luxury real estate advisor based at The Opus by Omniyat in Business Bay. My office is inside this district, these are the cranes outside my window, and every update on this page comes from data I personally verify before publishing.
The directory lists the Port de La Mer projects under construction with their RERA progress, latest inspection date and expected completion. Read the inspection date before the percentage: a high figure recorded months ago says less about the site today than a modest one recorded last month.

Get My Project Updates on WhatsAppPort de La Mer projects are built on the waterline, so the stages that set the pace start below ground: shoring, dewatering and piling decide the early timeline long before the structure is visible. Later, finish quality and the sea facing details decide how the handover goes, which is why each stage carries its own signal to watch.
Hoarding, site offices, permits and contractor mobilization come first on a Port de La Mer plot. Readings stay near zero here, so the signal to watch is how soon after groundbreaking the first real movement is recorded.
Shoring, dewatering, excavation and piling define this stage on a seafront plot, where groundwater has to be controlled before any concrete is poured. The headline figure can look flat while this work is under way, so judge it by the inspection dates rather than the percentage alone.
Basements, podium levels and floor slabs rise in sequence, and this is where the progress figure climbs fastest. A slowdown between two inspections at this stage deserves a direct question, because structural delays tend to carry straight through to completion.
Glazing, cladding, balconies and terraces close each building in against sea air and salt. It is the first stage where view lines, privacy and terrace depth become visible, and where finish quality starts to show.
Mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems, air conditioning, kitchens and joinery go in behind the closed façade. Progress often slows on paper here while many trades work at once, so the gap between inspections matters more than any single figure.
Promenade links, beach access, landscaping, road access and utility connections are completed around the buildings. A home can be finished before its surroundings are, so it is worth knowing what will be open on the day you receive the keys.
Authority inspections, the building completion certificate, service connections and the handover notice close out the project. This is the snagging window: the last point at which every documented defect is still the developer’s responsibility to fix.
Most buyer disputes start between stages, not at handover. Knowing which stage your project is in is what makes an inspection worth booking.
Not sure which stage your project is in?
Check My Project Stage on WhatsAppPort de La Mer is an established marina community with little room left for new homes, which makes each new building a scarce entry point rather than one launch among many. For an end user the updates show when a home in a finished neighborhood will actually be ready; for an investor they show how much of the holding period is still construction risk.

Tracking progress is only one part of protecting an off plan purchase. These are the three areas buyers ask me to manage most.
Confirm your payments flow into the project’s registered escrow account, not anywhere else.

Ask About HandoverReview verified Port de La Mer construction update locations across beachfront residences, marina facing developments, and active off plan projects on the La Mer peninsula in Jumeirah 1, connected to ongoing inspection activity and infrastructure growth throughout Dubai.

Port de La Mer grows in small, deliberate steps: the peninsula is finite, its original marina neighborhoods are complete, and new homes arrive only as Meraas releases the remaining beachfront land. My read is that scarcity rather than volume defines this market, which is exactly why each new building is worth following from groundbreaking to handover.

Port de La Mer construction updates track the residential projects being built in the Meraas waterfront community in Jumeirah 1, using official RERA inspection data. Each update records the progress figure, the inspection date and the expected completion, so a project can be judged on how it is moving rather than on its launch timeline.
The original marina neighborhoods and beachfront townhouses of Port de La Mer are complete and handed over. Construction continues on newer residential releases within the community, which is what these updates follow, so most of the area a buyer sees today is already finished.
Meraas, a member of Dubai Holding Real Estate, is the master developer of Port de La Mer and La Mer. Newer releases can be delivered with development partners, so the developer named on each project’s RERA record is the party responsible for its construction and escrow account.
A report is refreshed whenever a new RERA inspection reading is published for a project. The inspection date shown beside each figure indicates how current the reading is, which matters as much as the percentage itself.
Early readings on a seafront site often stay low while shoring, dewatering and piling are under way, because below ground work adds little to the headline percentage. A low figure becomes a concern only when it stays flat across several inspections after that stage should have ended.
The final stage covers authority inspections, the building completion certificate and the developer’s handover notice. A professional snagging inspection before the handover documents are signed records defects while the developer is still obliged to fix them.
