About Dubai Harbour Residences Area 3
Architecture & Design Concept
Dubai Harbour Residences is designed by Nikken Sekkei, the Japanese architectural practice behind One Za'abeel and a string of masterplans across Japan, China, Hong Kong, Saudi Arabia and the UAE. The building comprises 343 apartments and two penthouses across one, two, three and four-bedroom layouts, set within a single residential tower with basement parking, ground-floor retail and a public prayer facility.
Units are oriented to maximise views across the marina, the Arabian Gulf and the Dubai skyline, with glass façades and large terraces intended for year-round outdoor use. Interiors follow a nautical palette of deep blues and crisp whites, paired with high ceilings and natural light throughout living and bedroom spaces.
Beachfront Lifestyle
The building sits directly on Dubai Harbour's private beach, giving residents direct access to sand, marina walkways and the district's waterfront promenade without leaving the community. Daily life here centres on the harbour: sunrise walks along the shore, marina activity, and F&B options along the beach and boulevard.
A newly built bridge connecting Dubai Harbour to Sheikh Zayed Road cuts travel time from the highway from around 12 minutes to roughly 3 minutes, tightening the link between this waterfront address and the rest of the city.
Amenities & Wellness Facilities
The amenity offering spans a rooftop infinity pool, a separate kids' swimming pool, a fitness centre with a yoga studio, sauna and steam room, and a dedicated wellness floor with treatment rooms and a hairdressing and manicure salon. A kids' play area with a learning zone and TV room caters to families, while a multifunctional room supports community events.
Ground floor facilities include a staffed reception and lift lobby, mail room, and basement-level provisions for drivers including a lounge and washroom, reflecting the building's positioning toward full-service, hospitality-grade living.
Developer Track Record
The project is owned by Shamal Holding, the Dubai-based investment firm that also owns Dubai Harbour itself and has delivered developments including Nad Al Sheba Gardens across its real estate, hospitality and leisure portfolio.
H&H Development, founded in 2007, is the development partner on the project. Its past work includes the Four Seasons Hotel Dubai in DIFC and the Four Seasons Resort Dubai at Jumeirah Beach, alongside Alia Developments DIFC and Eden House.
