Dubai Maritime City apartments from ~AED 1.4M at 6–7% gross yield — a man-made peninsula wrapped by the sea between Port Rashid and the Dubai Drydocks, minutes from Downtown and the DIFC. Waterfront living with a working-marina edge.
Dubai Maritime City is a man-made peninsula surrounded by sea between Port Rashid and Dubai Drydocks, minutes from Downtown. Apartments start from ~AED 1.4M with gross yields of 5–6%. It is largely off-plan, so most buyers are here for capital growth and payment-plan access as the district fills out, rather than for day-one rental income.
Dubai Maritime City is a man-made peninsula surrounded by water between Port Rashid and the Dubai Drydocks, a few minutes from Downtown, DIFC and the Gold Souk. Once an industrial maritime hub, it is being reshaped with waterfront residential towers, a promenade and yachting facilities.
The pitch is central waterfront at a lower entry than Dubai Marina, with sea views on three sides and strong rental demand from its DIFC-and-Downtown proximity. Apartments trade around ~AED 3,290/sq.ft at 6–7% gross — solid yield for a near-central sea-view address. Mostly off-plan, so handover timing matters.
