Seascape at Rashid Yachts & Marina by Emaar Properties

Seascape is a residential complex by Emaar Properties at Rashid Yachts & Marina in Dubai, made up of four buildings (G+18, G+7, G+8 and G+6 over a two-level basement) with approximately 391 units. The mix covers 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments and two-level 3 bedroom townhouses, and handover is scheduled for Nov 2026.

Seascape sits beside the community park and the canal pool at Rashid Yachts & Marina, with direct access to the Promenade and views over the marina towards the Downtown skyline. Emaar's fact sheet puts it about 10 minutes from Sheikh Zayed Road, 15 minutes from Dubai International Airport and 20 minutes from Downtown Dubai, The Dubai Mall and Dubai Creek Harbour.

The apartments range from approximately 774 sq ft for a 1 bedroom to 1,759 sq ft for a 3 bedroom, with starting prices from AED 1.65M to AED 3.88M. The 3 bedroom townhouses are two-level homes of approximately 2,620 to 2,982 sq ft (243 to 277 sq m), starting from AED 5.00M. The choice usually comes down to space and privacy against entry price: the townhouses add room over two floors, while the apartments offer a lower entry point and more layouts to choose from.

Prices start from AED 1.65M ≈ USD 449K for a 1 bedroom apartment. 2 bedroom apartments start from AED 3.58M ≈ USD 976K, 3 bedroom apartments from AED 3.88M ≈ USD 1.06M, and 3 bedroom townhouses from AED 5.00M ≈ USD 1.36M. Final prices depend on unit type, size, floor and availability.

The main addition is the 4% DLD registration fee, calculated on the purchase price and paid to the Dubai Land Department when the sale is registered. It is a government fee, separate from the price of the unit, and it is not paid into the project escrow account. In the Seascape launch plan it was due together with the booking payment.

Seascape launched on an 80/20 plan: a 10% down payment on booking in Dec 2022, seven instalments of 10% between Feb 2023 and Mar 2026, and a final 20% due at completion in Nov 2026. That schedule is the launch plan of record. Every date except Nov 2026 has passed, so a unit bought today follows the balance and dates set in its own sale agreement rather than the original timetable.

Handover is scheduled for Nov 2026. At the Dubai Land Department register inspection of May 2026 the structure was complete, internal works were at an advanced stage, and the external envelope, MEP and internal finishes were progressing. Each dated register reading is tracked in the Seascape construction updates guide.

It depends on the unit. The 10 year UAE Golden Visa requires a property investment of at least AED 2M ≈ USD 545K. Based on starting prices, the 2 bedroom apartments (from AED 3.58M), the 3 bedroom apartments (from AED 3.88M) and the 3 bedroom townhouses (from AED 5.00M) are above that threshold, while the 1 bedroom apartments start at AED 1.65M, below it, so a 1 bedroom unit does not qualify on price. The Seascape Golden Visa guide covers eligibility and the application steps.

Yes, Seascape at Rashid Yachts & Marina is a freehold property, open to all nationalities.

Yes. The full process, from reservation 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.

Buyer payments are made to the project's DLD-registered escrow account, held with Dubai Islamic Bank (PJSC), and released to the developer only against verified construction progress, a framework regulated by the Dubai Land Department. The Seascape escrow account guide explains how the account works through to completion.
