What will a 1-bed off-plan flat cost in Dubai Harbour?
In the projects we list, a 1-bed starts at about AED 2.4 million at Bayview and about AED 4.2 million at W The Residences. Damac Bay 2, also from one bedroom, starts at about AED 7.3 million. In the wider Marsa Dubai area, the median off-plan 1-bed sold for about AED 3.5 million in the year to September 2026, against about AED 1.8 million for a ready one. Prices were checked in November 2026.
Is there a metro in Dubai Harbour?
Not inside the area. The Mina Seyahi tram stop is about 700 m from the middle in a straight line. On the Red Line, Sobha Realty station is about 1.6 km away and Al Fardan Exchange (formerly Nakheel) about 1.7 km.
When will the Dubai Harbour towers be finished?
Sobha Seahaven and Address Residences The Bay are due soon, in December 2026. Most of the rest are due in 2027 and 2028, and W The Residences and the Edition residences in 2029. Ask the developer for the latest DLD completion figure before you pay the next instalment.
Is Dubai Harbour a good buy for rental income?
Not for yield alone. In the wider Marsa Dubai area, DLD data puts gross yields at about 5.4% to 5.8%. And off-plan flats there sold for about twice the price per sq ft of ready ones in the year to September 2026. Buyers here pay for the sea, the brands and the location.
What service charges cover, who approves them, the median rate per square foot in 20 Land Department districts, and how to check the current figure for your building.
What off-plan and ready apartments sold for per square foot in 18 Dubai districts, what the rent is worth against each price, and how to decide which fits you.
