Sunridge

Sunridge is a single residential building by Emaar, situated within the Mina Rashid development on Dubai's historic eastern shoreline, with a scheduled completion of February 2027 and construction now 97.88 per cent complete.

# The tower and its position within Mina Rashid

Mina Rashid occupies a stretch of waterfront that predates modern Dubai by decades. Port Rashid was the city's commercial gateway long before the skyscrapers arrived, and the area carries a maritime grain that newer master-plans elsewhere in the emirate simply cannot replicate. Emaar's intervention here is substantial: a full-service marina accommodating 430 wet berths for yachts up to 100 metres in length, anchored by a boardwalk promenade and a canal pool that runs along the development's spine.

Sunridge sits within this wider framework as a single building. Its architecture responds to the waterfront context rather than ignoring it, with the marina and open water providing the primary outlook. At this point in construction, the project's physical form is essentially settled.

# Residences: layouts and specification

The building offers one- and two-bedroom apartments configured around open floor plans, with panoramic windows that draw the water views into the living space. Kitchens are fitted and equipped. Residences are delivered unfurnished, which suits buyers who prefer to specify their own interiors against a clean palette.

Outdoor living space is built into the layouts rather than added as an afterthought. The orientation toward the marina and the Arabian Gulf means that balconies carry genuine views rather than looking back into the development.

Service charges are set at 21 to 22 AED per square foot per year, a useful benchmark for buyers modelling the running costs of a Dubai waterfront asset.

# Amenities within the development

The amenity list at Sunridge covers the range a buyer at this price point would expect from an Emaar waterfront project. The Canal Pool is the most distinctive element: a long, swimmable body of water that functions as both a recreational facility and a landscape feature. Supporting that are a swimming pool, gym, recreational courts, a community park, boardwalk promenade, and a retail and dining component.

The 430 berths within the wider Mina Rashid marina are available with berthing options ranging from a single night to annual stays, which broadens the appeal for buyers who own or charter yachts.

# Connections: the eastern corridor and beyond

The surrounding area balances residential infrastructure with city access. New Academy School sits approximately 3 kilometres away. Hudaiba Park is at the same distance. City Centre Al Shindagha and North Beach at Pearl Jumeirah are both roughly 4.7 kilometres out, the latter offering a beach option that the Mina Rashid waterfront supplements rather than replaces.

Downtown Dubai is 11.7 kilometres from the development, and Dubai International Airport 11.8 kilometres. Both are reachable quickly along the coastal road network. For buyers prioritising airport proximity alongside a water address, the eastern corridor compares favourably with Dubai Marina, which sits considerably further from the terminal.

# Who Sunridge suits, and where it sits in the market

Mina Rashid is an address that attracts buyers who find Dubai Marina overpopulated and Palm Jumeirah too conspicuous. The port heritage gives the neighbourhood a texture that purpose-built leisure districts lack. Sunridge, delivered by Emaar with a project nearing completion, carries the execution credibility that first-time Dubai buyers and seasoned investors both look for.

The profile fits a buyer using the property as a primary base in Dubai, a seasonal residence, or a long-term rental asset. The marina infrastructure and canal pool make it genuinely liveable rather than purely speculative. With the project at 97.88 per cent completion and a February 2027 handover, the remaining construction risk is minimal.
