The Cove II

The Cove II is a residential tower by Emaar Properties situated on Creek Island within Dubai Creek Harbour, offering a single three-bedroom apartment currently available at AED 8.41 million, with handover scheduled for Q4 2026.

# The tower and its position within Dubai Creek Harbour

Dubai Creek Harbour occupies a stretch of waterfront roughly 6 kilometres east of Downtown Dubai, developed by Emaar as a long-term district-scale project alongside the Creek itself. Creek Island sits at the heart of this master plan, surrounded by a marina, a promenade, and a green central park that give the neighbourhood a legible structure rather than the ad hoc density found elsewhere in the city.

The Cove II is a single building within this established community. At 92 per cent construction completion as of the available data, the tower is materially advanced, which removes a significant portion of the delivery risk that earlier-stage off-plan projects carry. Emaar's track record in Dubai Creek Harbour, spanning multiple towers and the Creek Beach district, gives the broader masterplan a coherence that newer, independent developments rarely match.

# Residences, layout and specification

The available residence is a three-bedroom apartment spanning 2,470 square feet, unfurnished. At that floor area, the unit sits comfortably in the larger end of Dubai's typical three-bedroom market, where comparable layouts in established waterfront buildings more commonly fall in the 1,600 to 2,000 square foot range.

No furnishing is included, which suits buyers intending to specify interiors to their own brief. Service charges are set at 22 to 23 AED per square foot annually, a figure worth factoring into long-term holding costs, particularly for investors comparing net yields across comparable Creek and marina-adjacent assets.

# Amenities and shared facilities

The building's amenity programme covers a full gym, a swimming pool and a dedicated kids' pool, a cinema room, a BBQ area, a park zone and a children's play area.

The cinema room and the separation of children's facilities from adult pool space are details that matter to families in practice. The park zone connects to the broader green infrastructure of Creek Island rather than functioning as a token courtyard, which is a meaningful distinction in a district where outdoor space has been designed at masterplan level rather than added as an afterthought.

# Connections to the wider city

Downtown Dubai sits approximately 13 kilometres away by road, a 15 to 19 minute drive depending on route and time of day. Dubai International Airport is 20 kilometres out, around 22 minutes by car. Dubai Festival City Mall, a significant retail and dining destination, is reachable in roughly 18 minutes.

For families, Deira International School is 8.8 kilometres away, approximately 19 minutes by car. The proximity to DXB rather than DWC is a practical advantage for frequent travellers on international routes, particularly those flying to Europe or South Asia.

# Who this residence suits and where it sits in the market

A buyer acquiring the last available unit in a near-complete Emaar tower is, by definition, operating in a different risk environment from someone entering a project at launch. The construction is effectively finished. The community around it, including the promenade, marina and retail infrastructure, is already functioning. That combination of developer credibility, district maturity and construction progress narrows the gap between purchase and possession to a predictable window.

The profile this suits most directly is an end-user family relocating to Dubai who wants a large, configurable apartment in a planned waterfront neighbourhood, without the two to three year wait that earlier project stages require. For an investor, the calculus depends on rental demand in Creek Harbour, which has strengthened as the district's population has grown, but the single-unit availability makes portfolio scaling impossible here.
