About Harbour Lights

Waterfront Tower in Dubai Maritime City

Harbour Lights is a 52-storey residential tower rising on Plot R-3a in Dubai Maritime City, positioned between Port Rashid and Drydocks World. The building comprises basement, ground, upper ground, 50 residential floors, dedicated MEP and pool/gym levels, plus a retail podium with a five-level parking structure, totaling 297 apartments across a single tower.

The design draws on a maritime theme, referencing cruise-liner architecture in its cabin-style layouts and sea-facing pool decks. This positions the project within the broader wave of off plan projects Dubai Maritime City has attracted as the district develops into a mixed residential and commercial waterfront hub.

Interior Design by de GRISOGONO

Common areas and interior detailing are designed in collaboration with luxury jewellery and fashion house de GRISOGONO, giving the lobby, corridors and amenity floors a consistent white and gold palette. Large windows throughout the residential floors are oriented to maximize sea views across the marina channel.

This branding partnership differentiates Harbour Lights from typical apartments in Dubai Maritime City, positioning it toward buyers seeking a designer-associated address rather than a purely functional waterfront unit.

Amenities and Floating Pool

The standout amenity is a floating pool structure set within the sea itself, distinct from the standard rooftop or podium pool found in most Dubai Maritime City apartments. It sits alongside a dedicated swimming and gym floor within the tower, separate from the ground-level retail and parking podium.

Retail space at grade level is intended to serve residents without requiring travel outside the building, a relevant factor for a property investment in a district still building out its street-level retail base.

Location Within Dubai Maritime City

Dubai Maritime City sits between Port Rashid and Drydocks World, established as a hub for the maritime, shipping and marine services industry alongside emerging residential clusters. Harbour Lights, as one of the taller towers on the peninsula, benefits from an unobstructed sea-facing orientation on most of its residential floors.

The district's positioning close to central Dubai has supported interest in off-plan stock here, particularly among buyers comparing it with older waterfront communities such as Dubai Marina and Jumeirah Beach Residence.

Location

Connectivity and Access

Dubai Maritime City sits just off the coastline near Port Rashid, with road access onto Sheikh Zayed Road giving quick reach to Downtown Dubai, Business Bay and Dubai International Airport. The nearest metro connection is via the Red Line stations serving the Port Rashid and Al Jaddaf areas, with onward transfer required to reach the peninsula itself.

The area is governed and developed under the Dubai Maritime City Authority framework, part of the broader Ports, Customs and Free Zone Corporation structure that oversees the district's maritime and residential zoning.

Neighbourhood Character

Unlike established leisure-driven waterfront communities, Dubai Maritime City retains a working-harbour identity alongside its growing residential offering, giving Harbour Lights residents both marina views and proximity to the district's commercial maritime activity. This mixed-use character is expected to evolve further as more towers, including Harbour Lights, complete and add retail footfall at street level.
