About Marea
Marea Dubai Architecture & Exterior Design
Marea is a G+2 podium+12-storey residential building on Dubai Islands, developed by Sharafi Development, a family-founded firm with roots going back to 1924. The facade draws on wave-form geometry, with sea-reflection flowing edges and sculpted profiles that distinguish the building from conventional residential towers in the Deira corridor. Tiered verdant podiums add greenery at lower levels, while a swimming deck with sun loungers sits above the podium floors.
Sharafi brings over a century of construction and real estate experience to Marea, applying what the developer describes as architectural precision and timeless craftsmanship. The building includes a rooftop level per the DLD registration (G+2P+12+Roof), giving upper-floor residents elevated sightlines toward the Dubai Islands waterfront.
Interiors & Residence Specifications
Marea offers 1 and 2-bedroom residences starting from AED 2.6M and AED 2.8M respectively, alongside a Penthouse Collection of 2 and 3-bedroom units from AED 7.8M. Interiors are finished to a European standard, with open-plan kitchens fitted with premium appliances, high ceilings designed to maximize perceived space, and spa-inspired bathrooms. Each residence includes a private balcony or terrace, with Jacuzzi provisions on select units.
Layouts prioritize natural light through bespoke configurations, and material selection reflects the developer's hospitality background. Sharafi Development has previously delivered hotel-grade projects, and that specification standard carries into Marea's residential finishes.
Luxury Apartments Dubai Amenities & Resident Benefits
Amenity provision at Marea is oriented around wellness and resort-style living. The building includes an infinity pool, private gardens, a spa and wellness studio, a gym, sauna, and a lobby lounge, alongside concierge service and 24/7 security. These are supplemented by access to facilities at an upcoming Sharafi-developed beachfront hotel on Dubai Islands.
The purchase package includes two years of complimentary property management and one year of free maintenance, which meaningfully reduces the first-year holding cost for investors. These inclusions are stated in the brochure and form part of the standard purchase terms.
Palm Deira Investment Case
Marea sits within the Palm Deira community, formerly known as Dubai Islands, one of the city's most significant waterfront development projects under the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan. The five connected islands are planned to feature over 20 km of beaches and promenades, two golf courses, museums, art districts, and a soon-to-open Dubai Islands Mall. Off-plan projects in Palm Deira currently attract strong interest from buyers seeking waterfront positioning at prices below comparable Palm Jumeirah assets.
The 40/30/30 payment plan spreads payments across construction and two years post-handover. The post-handover tranche is structured as 5% every four months over 24 months, which improves cash-flow flexibility for investors and reduces financing dependence at handover. With a projected completion date of June 2027, buyers have a roughly two-year construction window before units are delivered.

Location
Waterfront Apartments Dubai Connectivity to Dubai Islands
Marea is 2 minutes from Dubai Islands Beach and Dubai Islands Mall, and approximately 20 minutes from Dubai International Airport and Downtown Dubai. Bridge connections link Dubai Islands directly to mainland Deira, and Sheikh Zayed Road is accessible via those connections. The broader Dubai Islands zone spans five islands with planned infrastructure for retail, hospitality, and cultural venues.
Nearby Landmarks & Infrastructure
Within the wider urban context, DIFC, Dubai World Trade Centre, Zabeel Park, and La Mer Island are all within a 15 to 22 km radius. Deira, one of Dubai's most established commercial and residential districts, sits immediately adjacent via the island bridge. The area's proximity to the airport corridor makes it relevant for frequent travelers and short-term rental investors.
