With all of the record-breaking growth in Dubai real estate, some wonder if the market could slow down or even crash. The numbers say otherwise, but buyers are becoming more selective. One type of real estate continues to perform in every market cycle: waterfront. The best are in communities still under development with strong government backing under the Dubai Master 2040 Plan, such as Dubai waterfront property investment opportunities in Dubai Islands. Designed by the same master developer as Palm Jumeirah, this will feature five islands connected by the Infinity Bridge with hotels, resorts, marinas, and beaches.
Emaar MTA holds some of the most strategic plots here, making them a top choice for anyone serious about waterfront property in Dubai. Let's go inside the Emaar MTA showroom where my partner Ahmed is with Nicole to walk us through completed projects and what's coming.
Ahmed: Hi GG, as per your request and your viewers' request, I have finally decided to come to Emaar MTA's sales center and of course to meet the one and only Nicole who had a great session with you in one of our recent podcasts. I want to let her emphasize and let us know more. Why should our buyers choose Emaar MTA?
Nicole: Hi, Ahmed. Thank you so much for having us over here.
Well, Nicole, Ahmed had a great podcast episode with you. It's doing extremely well, and our viewers insisted that we find out a little bit more behind the scenes and see what Emaar MTA's end product looks like and why, what's the secret recipe for Emaar MTA's success. So please, I'll let you take over and tell GG's viewers what Emaar MTA is all about.
Nicole: Thank you very much. Thank you, GG. For GG viewers, today we're going to have some recap on Emaar MTA projects, Emaar MTA locations, and Emaar MTA legacy in general. Okay, so my name is Nicole. I'm going to show you on this Dubai Master Plan. Here you can see the whole Dubai Master Plan where Emaar MTA developments has presence. All right, so I'm going to start with Furjan and JVC. These are two locations that we started with.
In Furjan, we have our first project that is called Westwood. If you check any numbers on any platforms like DXB or any platform that is showing numbers, Westwood project is showing one of the highest ROI in this area because Emaar MTA delivers specific lifestyle and specific quality of the building. The next location that we moved on to was JVC. Here we have six projects. We already delivered three projects. By the way, if you can see here, Westwood and Westwood 2, Pearl House 1, they all were delivered prior to the handover date. For example, Pearl House 1 was delivered six months prior to the handover date. So Emaar MTA is always on time.
When Ahmed said what is your magic, what is the magic of Emaar MTA developments, it's because we are exceeding buyers' expectations. We are having a handover in December 2025, but delivering it in June 2024. So the next location that I want to look at is of course Dubai South. Great investment opportunity because it just started. The prices are the lowest prices compared to any location in Dubai. It's located between three main highways: Al Ain, Sheikh Muhammad Bin Road. This location has the majority of our projects. We have 14 plus projects that will be delivered in 2026 and 2027.
Now we're going to move on to our sweet piece of pie: of course, Dubai Islands. One of my favorite locations, one of the best investment opportunities on the market, located right here. Why I personally love Dubai Islands is because it's just 15 minutes away from Downtown Dubai, Business Bay, Dubai Marina, and JVC. And of course this part of Dubai is growing and expanding, becoming more and more beautiful. Dubai Creek also. So Dubai Islands is just 15 minutes away from the best tourist and business destinations of Dubai.
And now, GG and GG viewers, I'm going to show you what Dubai Islands looks like. Before we dive into Emaar MTA's upcoming Dubai Islands launches, if you want a full tour of Dubai Islands, including all five islands, the Infinity Bridge, and why Key to Dubai's waterfront property market, watch my dedicated Dubai Islands video here. Now let's get back to Nicole for the upcoming projects.
Let me show you Dubai Island A. It's one of the most exciting opportunities on the market. The Dubai Islands have five islands, and this is Central Island, which is Island A, and it has it all. You have a shopping center in the middle of the island, one of the largest ones. You have 12 km of beachfront, six marinas, 1.5 km of a green park, a school, and a hospital. So you have it all at your doorstep, plus FnB, sport, and entertainment activities such as two waterfront golf courses, 86 hotels, and endless opportunities for having fun.
So let me show you Courtyard House 1 and 2. It's one of our top sellers. It's located just on the first line, in front of the beautiful skyline views, and this is one of our top performers and one of the best projects that we launched so far. So Dubai Island A is an exciting opportunity for investors. The master developer is Emaar, who is behind Palm Jumeirah. So this location is going to be a future iconic destination, and today we can invest at the lowest price point, which is from 2,000 dirhams up to 3,000, depending on where the plot is located. In five years you will enjoy a beautiful lifestyle, beautiful infrastructure, and of course the highest returns.
Now, GG and GG viewers, let me show you one of our top performers. Now you can see one of Emaar MTA's best sellers, which is Courtyard House 1 and 2. It's located in one of my favorite locations: Dubai Islands, on the first line. So this project will have fantastic views on Yachts Marina, Dubai skyline, and fantastic beautiful sunsets.
So why I love Courtyard House is because of course it's the first line and unobstructed water views. Also, these two projects are located on the same line with the hotels. So pretty much these two projects are the only residential in this location, and they will have beautiful views.
All apartments, again, Emaar MTA developments concept: fully furnished and finished. We have beautiful cool that goes through the building. So all of our buildings always have great amenities. Any project that you want to buy from Emaar MTA development is going to be fully furnished, fully fitted, and have great amenities like the pool, gym, barbecue area. So everything is at your doorstep, plus Dubai Islands has lots of entertainment, FnB, and sport activities. This project was sold out within the first two days of the launch.
So GG viewers, are you ready to see one of our top sellers in Dubai Islands? Come with me. I'm going to show you what the end product of Emaar MTA development is going to look like. It's a beautiful branded kitchen that we are applying to any apartment in Dubai Islands. All appliances are premium. You have a fridge, a freezer, a microwave, an oven, a stove, a washing machine, and a TV. All is included. The interiors that you're going to see are going to be just like that. And on top of that, the cherry on the pie: it's going to be fully furnished.
So it's a beautiful open kitchen. We have a dedicated dining space where you can enjoy dinners with your family and friends. A beautiful living area and of course the balcony with a private jacuzzi where you can enjoy stunning views on the island. Let me introduce you to the master bedroom. All master bedrooms are coming again, fully furnished. You have bedroom, you have a walk-in closet, you have your private bathroom. Let me show you that the brands that we are using in our apartments are some of the top brands like Jessie and Valery and B.
So when you're investing with Emaar MTA developments, you are getting fully furnished, beautifully fitted design apartments where every spot and every angle is used accordingly, and it's just beautiful.

If you'd like the full backstory on Emaar MTA's strategy, their proven track record, and their upcoming waterfront projects in Dubai, Nicole joined me in the Dubai Connect studio for a detailed interview. It's really important to understand about Emaar MTA Developments. For me personally, it's the strongest side of our company. We were established first as a construction company. So not many people understand.
