Dubai Maritime City Luxury Waterfront Homes: Why They're the Best Investment in 2025!

Dubai Maritime City is entering a new growth phase and the Forest District is shaping up to be one of the strongest early entry opportunities for global real estate investors. In this exclusive interview with the sales director at Beyond by Omniyat, Arshi, we unpack how the entire master plan works, why the second line units hold premium value, and how Beyond controls both first and second line plots inside this waterfront peninsula in Dubai. In the last part of this video, I will share a sneak peek of the newest launch in Forest District Dubai. A maritime city that no one knows yet. Forest living on the sea. When you talk about rare, when you talk about scarce, this is it. Now, of course, you recognize this beautiful, intelligent, amazing woman right here, Arshi, because we got to sit down and do an entire podcast, two podcasts. One about Maritime City as an up and coming waterfront opportunity for global real estate investors. And the second one specifically more about Beyond, which is where we are right now in the Beyond sales center. The reason why I have another video that I did when we first started launching to talk about the master plan, even though it was in the beginning when you were only launching your ride. We've grown so much since then. But what I wanted to do today, Arshi, is for clients to understand the value and the opportunity with the Forest section. So the Forest is the second line, but it's not what you think. Oh, a second line because they own the first line. They own all of the lots. So with that, may you go into, for an investor, why Forest is a great opportunity. Okay, so welcome everyone again to the gallery. What's the important factors about Forest? What makes the Forest very special? It is that greenery. It is that life science. That is that fresh energy. The greenery vibe. So what we have decided to do was to come up with the Forest District, which is located exactly on the other side of the Bay District. So we have the Bay Sector, which is of course the front line. You want to just look over there real quick. You have over here this is the Bay District. Now exactly on the second line of the Bay District, where we have a connectivity of bridges together, you go directly to the Forest section from the Bay area, where you have all these fifty-five thousand square meters of a pure Forest District. Now one of the important factors about this Forest is that there's going to be retail, restaurants, different sections. Now every single part of this Forest is dedicated to a special zone, where you have like dog parks in this section. You have different sport court facilities, paddle courts, tennis court, and of course on the tip of the island where the man-made beach is coming ahead. Now I just opened this one to actually show it to you. Now this is basically the main master plan which we have on the other side. If I want to show you this, you will see here the first line where you have the Bay District, and this is the Forest District. Inside the Forest District we have basically launched the first tower, which is Italia Tower over here, as you can see, which is sold out. Yes. Now in Italia we have very, very limited two bedrooms available. So you have Italia at this section. Then you have three more plots which we are going to come up very soon. And then on the tip of the island where you have the beach, which is dedicated to the residences of Beyond and Omniyat. Basically, now over here inside the community itself and all over Maritime City you also get a ten kilometer cycling track. So we're talking about greenery, sports facilities, retail, everything. Whatever you need, whatever you see in a small city, basically I would say you get it in this project. The views. The views. Yeah, so looking into the project, one of the importance of every tower that is standing over here is that we are creating, we are placing the towers on the plot in a way not to have obstruction of views on any of the towers other towers standing next to it. So when you look into the positioning of Italia, I will just zoom it in. You will see over here from this side you will have the Dubai skyline view. This side you will have an ocean sunset view. This side you will have a beautiful forest view. On the front side you'll be having cove views. Now there are some units on the corner side which are basically having dual views from every single side. So again, these are the details on every single building. Every single building that you own and you launch, you are maximizing the views. Exactly. In one way, and because you are the ones that control the front line, you're going to make sure. Right? So it's not going to be. We're not going to be surprised all of a sudden if another developer comes and creates a building right here that's going to then obstruct the human foot. Now, I want to also dive into the tower details of the area. Now if you zoom into this location and you see what is coming up in the Forest District, these are some of the areas that are canopy as you can see. So we have the plaza sections. We have the lawn areas over here. We have food and beverage, fitness, dog parks and like different playing area zones, water plazas, different sectors that also takes you to the tip of the island where you have the beach, the private beach, which has been confirmed, right. Yes. So basically, like looking into some of the models and some of the renders of these areas. This is just the design of what you can actually see on the mockup. You have the retail centers underneath. Here you have different body parks and the June park where you like, it's a pedestrian area for walking and pedestrian line. And sorry to clarify, there's going to be a walking pathway that connects the Forest to the promenade on the sea. This is the path. That's so every single walk the pathway. So this is the pathway. You go inside. You have direct access on the different rails to go to the front side, the interior. Like, for example, some of these areas, they're the rooftop of the retail that are basically located on the ground. So you're going to have different art plazas here as well. Today as a greenery community, what are your options? Both communities, park communities, back to all the developers, right. So you have specific areas within Dubai where you need to drive twenty minutes to get to the beach. What you get over here, slightly priced is going to be higher, of course, because the land is more valuable comparing to other areas like the south part of Dubai. But again, your twenty minutes drive, saving the drive time, and you come down from your building. You're next to the beach. You're next to the water. So again, we are giving you a mix of both lifestyles. We are giving you a greenery lifestyle vibe with this a beachfront lifestyle vibe, all blending in together and giving you this beautiful master plan which is going to be a unique destination in Dubai. But what our aim is is to create a unique destination, to create a landmark Dubai, and that's what we are known for on the design. Going with partnership with all these big names within the market as part of the infrastructure, communities, designers, interior designers, all of them, they are the top notch of the market. They're the top notch in the world. Like in the Soliv Tower, which is our current launch, we have basically collaborated with ARRCC. They're one of the biggest names within the interior design and architectural design in the world, not only in the market or, let's say, in the Middle East. We are well, well known in the world. So having all of this, it's the developer and the team behind the developer and the vision that the developer wants. The vision is very important. Dubai has grown and risen by the vision of UAE leadership. What we are learning from, we have this new vision, and what we're creating is a new destination, a new lifestyle, a new concept. We are changing the dynamic of the market. This is something that I always say and because we're different, we're giving a different sizes, different layouts, different supply even in the market. Very exclusive in the number of the units, and that is something very important when it comes to investment because capital appreciation, investment ROI, ROE is all connected to one matter only, that is the supply. The lower the supply in the market, the higher the demand will be, and your property will always hold value. Will never fall. And I will go another step further and I discussed this, but even in Maritime City itself, I do not, and you can fact check me by looking at my YouTube, I do not promote and recommend every developer. I have sold. It's actually the first sale ever made in Dubai by the way was Maritime City years ago. But I love Beyond so much because of the fact, control first of all. You're the master controlling. What makes it a master community is you own and control. So you're very integrated into what's going on strategically. When it comes to the infrastructure of Maritime City, we are collaborating with the MCC, with the government in order to beautify the area. So yes, we are basically doing the infrastructure, the landscaping, the view of Maritime City itself. So they have a little bit of insight. I feel extra insight. Plus the fact that you own the majority of these prime quads right on the edge of the peninsula. The access to this, because investors ask this all the time about the private beach by the Omniyat, that's the edge, and having access to that, people buy the residences of Beyond. Okay, that's another huge factor. Plus, you have these amenities of the lagoons at the cove as well. But that private beach is accessible. So we have access to whatever you see here, plus we get an advantage of this beautiful area which is also part of the protected area. So again, yes, we have access to both. Exactly. So this is where we're constantly trying to figure out how to give you a unique advantage as an investor. How do we differentiate your investment from all the others that are available on the market? And that's why you see me talk so much about, of course, my lovely relationship with the sales director. So quickly, but I am truly passionate about it because I think and I believe and I understand, and the numbers show it, is a smart investment. So now you, as of today, and I don't know when I'll edit this and get it out, we're in mid-October. You already launched the first tower in the Forest District. This is already launched, launched months ago, before we launched our pass project, which may actually launch. So we are ahead right now for that first building. We started at twenty-eight hundred to three thousand dirhams, basically, because it was the first Forest building, and we have some units. Now the value of this project is that you remember once I told you, we are either exclusive in views or exclusive in layouts. The layout of two bedrooms in this building, they're all similar but the views are different. So one is forest scope view, one is highlight cove view, the other side is ocean skyline view, and this side is ocean forest view. So we have only four types of all different views of a two bed. When I come to one bedroom, they stand on the middle, and from the thirty-eighth level above we have again three bed. It's not the same layout. So again, number of units very limited, very exclusive. Every floor has very limited number of units. The amenities are again unique by their own terms. This is the vision that we have for every single building to have a unique amenity that other buildings would not hold. And on the top you have four court houses, duplexes, four bedroom, amazingly designed, amazing layouts, very spacious, level ceilings. For every single penthouse, you have a different type of a view. So four penthouse complex with four different views and beautiful sitting areas outside, which gives you, like you can have that party space as well in your penthouse. And the amenities, we have placed them on the fourth level. Duplexes when it comes to sorry, double height ceilings. When it comes to internal areas. The gym is a double height ceiling, two-level gym. When it comes to co-working space, when it comes to kids playing area, you have a certain place for a clubhouse for the residences as well as the lobby space. And all of that is also giving you the vibe of that Bali aesthetic. The swimming pool over here is a crater level pool where underneath it you have a waterfall lounge. So you get that infinity pool waterfall onto the ground level, which is the lower level where you can see it. It gives you the vibe of energy. Look at that beautiful area. It will be the lounge area. You can actually put the picture. I'll launch the photos and brochures so you can see what's happening. So now the strategy has been that as each level goes up, we're talking about maybe ten to fifteen percent more price. But the bayfront is its own pricing strategy. It's the same, and indeed we started with all rice with like twenty-five hundred per square foot. Again in the building, we increase the price. We increase the price. Now we are in the price point of let's say average twenty-five hundred, two thousand for the Bayfront first line. Still basically. Now the more we grow, of course, they're increasing the prices. The Forest District, again, this is the first building of the Forest, so we are starting from the base and it keeps growing. Once we reach the last building of the Forest, of course, the price per square foot is going to be higher. Now these also, the cost of the price per square foot, it depends on the time that we're launching. If I'm launching a tower six months later, I'm going to add that price per square foot. So it's something normal. But in general, we are doing it as per the market. Yeah, we are not going higher like giving you something that is out of the ordinary. You know, there is a pricing to a unit. There is a reason behind the pricing of a unit. You have the amenities. You have the front line. You cannot, once we, I mentioned this to you. You have to compare ours. There is a benchmark price. There is a sense the price that I'm giving you. The first Forest by the sea in the region where you don't have it. So again, my product is in a different level. We sell art. We sell design. We do not sell paper fan and stuff. We are giving you holes. We are giving you lifestyle. This is what we believe in. We are not just selling at the age of a tower. So when clients, sometimes with all respect to all of them, they come and ask for, I don't know, I need a discount or this and that, we don't need to give it because it's capable, and we have our class. We want to serve the best in class in every class of your adversity, and we believe that there is a value to the product which we really need to hold on to and really give the definition of luxury and act as, you know. So please don't ask for discounts. Please don't ask for discounts or kickbacks. It's not happening. Not the right team. Other developers are going to be desperate. This is exclusivity. Very exclusive. It's in a different level of lifestyle that we speak about. That's why we are giving you the uniqueness of the project. We're giving you the uniqueness of the community, the facilities, everything. It's in a different level. It's top notch. We're giving you the best brands. We're giving you, when it comes to kitchen appliances, we're giving you the best brand to ceiling views. And so strategic with regard to the positioning of every building, as I mentioned, to maximize your views, and you're in Maritime City. There are many reasons, many thanks to our price, our product, our location. Why Beyond, why Maritime City, which really, like, you, it really covers every single aspect of an investment and an end user. And an end user. End user is that correct. Because the lifestyle, like, for example, I was saying someone that's working in the right, where the executives are working in Dubai International Financial Center right now. Those executives want that beautiful lifestyle when they get off of work, a seafront property that's only ten to twelve minutes from where they work. This is it. Yeah. Our layouts are very unique. Our two bed, three bedroom, even four bedroom duplexes that we have, even when you speak about the penthouses, they are one of the plenty in the market. So any kind of a user, any kind of a user within the market, whether an end user, whether short-term rental, because the location, we have products for all types. That's the beauty of it. And the payment plan, right, as of right now is fifty-fifty. Of course, we don't know what's going to happen as they launch paid products. So with that, this is for an investor. This is a dream opportunity. It's a smart strategy. I hope that you realize that I am your Dubai Connect host that I get to work with Arshi to actually do zoom calls. Amazing working with her. Amazing. Love this woman. She's always available to help. As my clients who have already purchased will know, you're always available to answer any questions, get on a zoom call, explain anything, position you strategically to make the best choices.
