About The Residences at Marina Gate 1
Tower Design & Layout
The Residences at Marina Gate 1 is a single residential tower configured as 2 basement levels, ground and mezzanine floors, an 8-level podium and 43 upper floors topped by a roof level. The building holds 415 units and was built as the first of three towers planned to connect at podium level on adjacent plots in Dubai Marina.
Apartments are designed with high ceilings and right-angled layouts intended to maximize usable indoor space, paired with floor-to-ceiling windows and balconies that run along more than 50 levels. Interiors emphasize practical floor plans over ornamental excess, a design brief carried through the whole tower rather than limited to select units.
Podium Amenities
The 8-level podium houses a retail colonnade, villas, sports clubs, tree-lined communal areas and infinity pools facing the marina. Residents have access to a temperature-controlled infinity pool with a separate children's pool and play area, plus a two-level gym overlooking the water with men's and women's changing facilities, a steam room and sauna.
Additional facilities include squash and tennis courts, seven high-speed passenger elevators and a dedicated service elevator with a loading dock. Secure elevator access links residents directly to Marina Walk, keeping building entry controlled while ground-level retail stays open to the wider community.
Developer Track Record
The tower was developed by Select Group, which by the time of this project's completion had delivered nearly 3,000 apartments in Dubai Marina since 2002 and was cited as the largest private developer in the district, with eight high-rise residential projects handed over there.
Select Group's broader portfolio at the time spanned roughly 6 million sq ft of delivered real estate with a further 3 million sq ft under construction, alongside hospitality assets and developments in Europe, giving the company a track record beyond this single tower.
Investment Case
Positioned on one of the last available waterfront plots in Dubai Marina at the time of launch, the project was marketed to both yield-focused investors and end users seeking a primary or secondary residence in the district. The brochure points to limited new supply in the years before launch as a driver of demand for new marina-facing stock.
The building has since reached full completion (100% per DLD records) and is classified as ready, removing construction risk for buyers entering the resale or leasing market today.
