Top 10 Off-Plan Projects in Dubai Maritime City Worth Investing In

Dubai Maritime City used to be a working port. Now it is quietly becoming one of the most interesting waterfront addresses in the city, and the numbers back that up. Spread across 249 hectares between Port Rashid and Dry Docks Dubai, this marine free zone has seen off-plan registrations jump 54% between early 2025 and early 2026, with 2,686 units changing hands across every price bracket.

What makes it worth a second look isn't hype. It comes down to something simpler: there isn't much coastline left in central Dubai, the zone carries freehold status, and developers are offering payment terms flexible enough to keep buyers' cash working elsewhere while construction runs its course.

Freehold ownership across the board, more than 280 maritime businesses already keeping the area occupied, and it's not hard to see why buyers are paying attention. Here are all thirteen projects, ranked from late handover to early.

Closing in

The off-plan projects at Dubai Maritime City run from AED 1.5 million at LIV Maritime by LIV developer to AED 3.2 million at Prestige One Residences, which is a genuinely wide range for one district. Payment plans vary just as much, with Danube sticking with 1% monthly, Damac running 60/40, and Prestige One doing its own 65/35 arrangement backed by Hilton.

Handovers spread from early 2028 through to late 2029, so this isn't a market for anyone chasing a fast turnaround. What keeps pulling buyers in regardless comes down to something fairly simple: there's not much coastline left to build on, ownership is fully freehold, and yields between 5% and 10% still make the numbers work. Just factor the 4% Dubai Land Department fee into your budget early, since it's one of the more common surprises people run into late.
