Aurea by Emaar
One to three bedroom apartments in Emaar's Rashid Yachts and Marina, with wide terraces, full height glazing and views across the yacht harbour.
At the entry price this project clears the AED 2 million line for the 10 year Dubai Golden Visa through property. Joint buyers, check the share rule.
My take on Aurea
Aurea is one of Emaar's buildings at Rashid Yachts and Marina, the waterfront district the developer is building around a working yacht harbour. The apartments are one to three bedrooms, with large terraces and floor to ceiling glass so the marina is part of the living space.
I like marina stock from Emaar because it has been proven once already. Dubai Marina showed how well waterfront apartments let and resell when the promenade, shops and restaurants are delivered with them, and Rashid Yachts and Marina follows the same formula closer to Downtown.
Who it suits
- Buyers who want waterfront from the most recognised developer in Dubai
- Investors targeting professional and expat tenants
- A longer hold in a district that is still being completed
What to weigh up
- Waterfront carries a higher price per square foot than inland Emaar communities
- The district is still being built out, so expect construction nearby for some years
- A handover in 2030 means a long wait for rental income
Key details
- One to three bedroom apartments
- Direct access to the marina promenade, shops and restaurants
- Infinity edge pool, gym, yoga area and padel court
- Staged payment plan through the build
