Why Maritime City Dubai is the Next Prime Waterfront Investment Opportunity

Dubai’s Last Prime Waterfront Investment: Maritime City Dubai

Dubai has only 7% of its coastline left for future development, making Maritime City one of the last true seafront investment opportunities in the city.

Waterfront properties in Dubai have historically delivered higher capital appreciation and rental returns compared to inland locations. According to Knight Frank’s Global Waterfront Index, seafront properties command an average 48% premium over non-waterfront homes, proving their long-term value.

    Why Maritime City Dubai is a Prime Investment Opportunity

    📍 Key Connectivity Advantages

    • 9 minutes from DIFC & Downtown Dubai, Dubai’s financial and business hub
    • Minutes from Deira, one of Dubai’s oldest and most vibrant commercial centers
    • Connected to Port Rashid Yachts & Marina (by EMAAR)—a premier maritime lifestyle destination
    • Directly linked to Dubai Islands (by NAKHEEL)—a new waterfront district set to attract residents and tourists alike

    🏗 Major Infrastructure Developments Supporting Growth

    Al Shindagha Corridor & The Infinity Bridge

    One of the largest road and transport projects in Dubai’s history, the Al Shindagha Corridor Improvement Project is a 5.3 billion dirham initiative designed to significantly reduce travel time and enhance connectivity across key districts, including Maritime City, Deira, and Downtown Dubai.

    A centerpiece of this project is the Infinity Bridge, which opened in 2022. This architectural and engineering marvel spans 295 meters, providing a vital six-lane highway for smooth traffic flow between Deira and Bur Dubai. What makes this project critical for investors?
    • Reduced Travel Time: The corridor will cut commute times from 104 minutes to just 16 minutes, improving accessibility to Maritime City and surrounding districts.
    • Increased Traffic & Tourism: The bridge facilitates easier access to the growing Port Rashid Yachts & Marina and Dubai Islands, both of which are set to become major lifestyle and tourism hubs.
    • Boost in Property Values: Better infrastructure directly increases property demand and appreciation, making now the best time to enter the market before values rise further.

    Metro & Public Transport Expansion

    Dubai’s long-term transport vision includes Metro extensions and enhanced connectivity to Maritime City, making it a well-connected, high-demand area for both residents and short-term rental markets.

    🌊 True Waterfront Luxury

    • Front-line, sea-view apartments with unobstructed Arabian Gulf views
    • A high-rise waterfront lifestyle in one of Dubai’s last direct seafront locations
    • Master-planned to be a world-class destination for residents, businesses, and investors

    💰 Investment Potential

    • Prices remain under AED 3,000 per square foot, making it one of the most affordable luxury waterfront investments in Dubai
    • OMNIYAT’s ORISE Dubai Maritime City sold out on launch day, proving high investor demand
    • Eight more towers launching soon, with each expected to increase in price by 10-15% per phase

    Why BEYOND by OMNIYAT?

    OMNIYAT is one of Dubai’s most respected luxury developers, responsible for iconic projects such as The Opus, One at Palm Jumeirah, and Dorchester Collection Residences. Their new sub-brand, BEYOND by OMNIYAT, is redefining affordable luxury on Dubai’s waterfront.

    Their first launch, ORISE Dubai Maritime City, was an instant success, selling out on launch day. With only eight towers left to launch, prices are projected to rise by 10-15% per release, making now the best time to secure a prime waterfront unit.

    📈 Why Invest Now?

    • Early investors benefit from significant capital appreciation, as each new tower is expected to increase 10-15% in price per sq. ft. over the previous launch
    • Limited waterfront inventory means prices will only rise as demand continues
    • Dubai’s real estate market is at an all-time high, with over 435 ultra-luxury properties ($10M+) sold in 2024, proving the city’s strong investor appetite
