South Beach at Emaar Beachfront by Emaar Properties

South Beach is a completed residential tower at Emaar Beachfront in Dubai Harbour, developed by Emaar Properties and launched as the developer's first holiday-home concept. It contains 270 apartments in 1, 2 and 3 bedroom layouts, specified fully furnished at launch, with private beach access, an infinity-edge swimming pool and optional holiday-home management by Ease by Emaar.

South Beach is in Emaar Beachfront, the beachfront community at Dubai Harbour between Dubai Marina and Palm Jumeirah, and residents have access to the community's 750 m beach strip. The developer brochure gives drive times of about 5 minutes to Dubai Marina, The Palm and Sheikh Zayed Road, and about 25 minutes to Downtown Dubai, Dubai International Airport and Al Maktoum International Airport.

South Beach offers 1 bedroom apartments of approximately 731 to 871 sq ft (68 to 81 sq m), 2 bedroom apartments of approximately 1,147 to 1,277 sq ft (107 to 119 sq m) and 3 bedroom apartments of approximately 1,700 to 2,100 sq ft (158 to 195 sq m). The building contains apartments only.

Prices start from AED 2.19M ≈ USD 596K for a 1 bedroom apartment. 2 bedroom apartments start from AED 3.20M ≈ USD 871K and 3 bedroom apartments from AED 5.50M ≈ USD 1.50M. The price of an individual unit varies with its floor, view and condition.

Yes. South Beach is a ready, completed building. In Dubai Land Department records it sits under the project registration "Marina Vista" (project 2094), which covers South Beach as Tower 1 together with the taller second tower marketed as Marina Vista, so buyers checking the project on Dubai REST should search for project 2094 rather than the South Beach name. The RERA inspection report of 23 February 2023 records that the registration received its Building Completion Certificate on 9 December 2022. The completion record is summarised in the South Beach construction updates guide.

According to the developer, South Beach offers private beach access, an infinity-edge swimming pool, valet parking, 24/7 concierge service and an on-demand luxury hotel service, with views of Dubai Marina and The Palm, and shopping and dining by the sea within the community.

The developer specified South Beach apartments fully furnished at launch. On a resale, the furniture in a given unit depends on how it has been used, so it should be checked against an inventory before transfer. Owners can optionally appoint Ease by Emaar, the developer's holiday-home management service, which handles listing and advertising, pricing, reservations, guest hosting, housekeeping and paperwork. The service is optional and subject to its own terms, and no rental income or occupancy level is guaranteed.

Yes. Every South Beach layout starts above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K property investment threshold for the 10 year UAE Golden Visa, beginning with the 1 bedroom apartment at AED 2.19M. The qualifying value is the price registered on the title deed. The dedicated South Beach Golden Visa guide covers the eligibility steps in detail.

Yes, South Beach at Emaar Beachfront is a freehold property, open to all nationalities.

At launch, South Beach followed a 60/40 Emaar payment structure: 10% plus the 4% DLD fee on booking, 50% during construction after booking and before handover, and the remaining 40% within 24 months post-handover. South Beach is now ready and completed, so this schedule reflects the original launch terms rather than the payment process for a new purchase today.

Because the building is complete, there is no off-plan instalment plan for a new purchase today. A purchase is made on a ready-property basis: a reservation deposit and sale agreement first, then the balance in cash or with mortgage funds when ownership transfers at a Dubai Land Department trustee office, together with the DLD registration fee. Completed units can be financed with standard UAE mortgage products, including products available to non-residents, subject to lender approval.

Yes. Viewing, reservation, the sale agreement and the transfer can all be handled remotely, with the transfer typically completed under a power of attorney, and I manage the process end to end on your behalf. Each stage of a remote purchase is documented in my Dubai real estate guide library.

During construction, buyer payments for the project were made to its DLD-registered escrow account at Dubai Islamic Bank and released to the developer against verified construction progress, a framework regulated by the Dubai Land Department. On a ready purchase today, the balance is paid and ownership is transferred through the DLD trustee process. The details are in the South Beach escrow account guide.
