About Baystar by Vida

Architecture & Design

Baystar by Vida at Rashid Yachts & Marina comprises two residential towers — Tower 1 (G+P+20) with 177 units and Tower 2 (G+P+16) with 142 units — totalling 319 residential apartments, plus nine ground-floor retail units. The towers are designed around full-height glazing that frames unobstructed marina views, while apartment layouts are structured to optimise natural light and spatial flow across one- to four-bedroom configurations.

Interiors align with VIDA's brand identity: textured accent walls, warm wooden screens, and bronze metal detailing are set against earthy palettes and soft natural light. The design approach balances contemporary sophistication with a calm residential ambience, avoiding the over-decorated excess common in branded residences.

VIDA Brand & Residences

Baystar by Vida at Rashid Yachts & Marina is a branded residential project developed under Emaar Properties, carrying the VIDA hotel and lifestyle brand. VIDA positions itself as an upscale yet playful urban brand, and these residences translate that ethos into permanent homes rather than serviced units — meaning residents benefit from the brand's design standards and community programming without the operational structure of a hotel apartment.

The unit mix spans one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments alongside four-bedroom homes, each described as finished to VIDA's specification with curated scent, material, and colour palettes. The brochure emphasises a 'launchpad for inspired living' positioning, targeting owner-occupiers and investors who prioritise lifestyle infrastructure alongside capital appreciation.

Amenities & Wellness Facilities

Baystar by Vida at Rashid Yachts & Marina offers an amenity programme centred on waterfront wellbeing. The infinity swimming pool overlooks the marina and is paired with a dedicated yoga area, while a kids' swimming pool provides a separate aquatic zone for families. The gymnasium operates across both indoor and outdoor formats, and an upper-level garden terrace includes leafy courts, shaded lounging areas, and barbecue pods designed to activate social connection above the marina promenade.

Rashid Yachts & Marina Master Community

Baystar by VIDA sits within Rashid Yachts & Marina (formerly Mina Rashid), Emaar's 2.7-kilometre waterfront master development along the Arabian Gulf in the Port Rashid area. The community already hosts the historic QE2 hotel, a world-class yacht club, a marina promenade lined with retail and dining, and a canal pool. A school, mosque, spa, and gym are mapped within the community, alongside Founders House and signature hotel facilities.

The broader neighbourhood connects to Al Shindagha Heritage District eight minutes away and sits 20 minutes from Dubai International Airport by car. Dubai Marina is approximately 30 minutes west, and Downtown Dubai is 25 minutes by road — placing the project within reach of Dubai's primary commercial and tourism corridors.

Investment Case

The project is registered under DLD project number 4002, with construction scheduled to commence December 2025 and handover targeted at end of 2029. Emaar Properties, the parent developer, reported AED 35.5 billion in revenue and AED 17.5 billion in net profit for FY 2024, with over 50,500 residential units currently under development globally. As one of Dubai's premium off plan properties, Baystar by VIDA benefits from Mina Rashid's waterfront setting, marina infrastructure, and branded hospitality, a combination that has historically attracted both end-users and yield-focused investors.
