About La Rive

Architecture and Community Design

La Rive is a four-building residential development within Port de La Mer, Meraas's first freehold master community in the Jumeirah 1 neighbourhood. The project comprises 284 apartments spread across two 7-storey blocks (Block A and Block B, each ground plus seven floors with a roof) and two 5-storey blocks (Block C buildings, each ground plus five floors with a roof), all sharing a common podium that includes one basement level, a ground floor, and a first floor dedicated to retail.

The buildings incorporate a minimalist, contemporary aesthetic consistent with the broader Port de La Mer master plan, which draws on Mediterranean maritime references. Winding walkways, landscaped terraces, and a direct relationship to the marina promenade and beachfront define the physical character of the development.

Residences and Unit Mix

La Rive offers 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5-bedroom apartments, providing options across a wide range of household sizes and investment scales. The mix allows owner-occupiers and investors alike to target different segments of the Jumeirah waterfront rental and resale market. Ground-floor and podium-level retail within the development activates the streetscape and reduces residents' dependence on external retail for day-to-day needs.

Amenities and Waterfront Access

Residents have access to large swimming pools, a fully equipped gym, and direct beach and marina access. The broader Port de La Mer community adds a 190-plus berth marina and yacht club, 5-star hotel hospitality, seaside and marina promenades overlooking Pearl Jumeira, fashionable boutiques, restaurants and cafes, and outdoor parks with children's play areas. Private landscaped terraces, controlled vehicle access, and a network of piazzas and bridges allow residents to move freely through the waterfront setting.

Investment Case

La Rive is a completed, DLD-registered development with 100 percent construction completion recorded as of October 2022. Its location within the only freehold master community in Jumeirah 1 gives it a supply-constrained positioning. Port de La Mer's 2.5-kilometre beach, marina, and curated retail and hospitality mix underpin consistent rental demand from professionals and families seeking genuine beachfront living close to the city core.

Meraas's track record across City Walk, Bluewaters, and Jumeirah Bay lends the brand equity that typically supports secondary-market price resilience. Buyers in a completed asset benefit from immediate rental yield generation and avoid construction-phase risk. As one of the premium properties in City Walk, the development combines a prime urban location with Meraas' established quality standards, making it an attractive option for both owner-occupiers and investors seeking long-term value in Dubai's luxury real estate market.ly.
