Dubai Maritime City apartments from ~AED 1.4M at 6–7% gross yield — a man-made peninsula wrapped by the sea between Port Rashid and the Dubai Drydocks, minutes from Downtown and the DIFC. Waterfront living with a working-marina edge.
Dubai Maritime City is a man-made peninsula surrounded by sea between Port Rashid and Dubai Drydocks, minutes from Downtown. Apartments start from ~AED 1.4M with gross yields of 6–7%. Maritime City is mid build-out — most stock sells off-plan on payment plans, with tenant demand arriving tower by tower as they complete.
Dubai Maritime City is a man-made peninsula surrounded by water between Port Rashid and the Dubai Drydocks, a few minutes from Downtown, DIFC and the Gold Souk. Once an industrial maritime hub, it is being reshaped with waterfront residential towers, a promenade and yachting facilities.
The pitch is central waterfront at a lower entry than Dubai Marina, with sea views on three sides and strong rental demand from its DIFC-and-Downtown proximity. Apartments trade around ~AED 3,290/sq.ft at 6–7% gross — solid yield for a near-central sea-view address. Mostly off-plan, so handover timing matters.

The DLD file records 823 residential registrations here in Jan–Jul 2026 (apartments, villas and townhouses combined), which puts Dubai Maritime City #33 out of 147 zones by turnover. Median price: AED 2,214,900 at 3,292 AED/sqft, 91% above the city median.
The bedroom mix is the fastest read on a zone: 1-bed units make up 45% of registrations here. That is also your resale competition. Pair it with the volume rank (#33) to judge how quickly you could exit.
98% of these registrations were off-plan and 2% were ready stock — against 76% off-plan citywide. An off-plan-heavy zone means payment plans and future supply — check the handover pipeline before assuming today's prices hold. The largest single registration in the period was AED 14,000,000.
