Kempinski Marina Residences

Kempinski Marina Residences is a single tower developed by ABA Group on the Dubai Marina waterfront, offering five large-format residences priced between AED 18 million and AED 36 million, with completion scheduled for the first quarter of 2029.

# The Tower and Its Position in Dubai Marina

Dubai Marina remains one of the most legible addresses in the emirate. The man-made canal stretches for roughly three kilometres, flanked by high-rise residential and hospitality buildings that have, over two decades, established the district as a serious counterpoint to Downtown Dubai for internationally mobile buyers.

Within that setting, Kempinski Marina Residences occupies a single tower. The Kempinski name carries its own logic here: the brand is among the older luxury hotel groups operating in the Gulf, and its presence in a residential project signals a managed hospitality standard applied to private ownership. Construction is under way, with the project currently at ground level and a confirmed handover target of March 2029.

# Residences, Layouts and Scale

The building holds only five residences. That figure alone separates it from the broader Marina tower typology, where floor counts are high and unit volumes run into the hundreds.

Two four-bedroom configurations are available. The first runs to 6,519 square feet at AED 18 million; the second to approximately 6,610 square feet at AED 18.5 million. Both sit at the larger end of what the Dubai market would conventionally classify as an apartment. The five-bedroom unit reaches 12,410 square feet and is priced at AED 36 million, a scale that places it firmly in duplex or penthouse territory.

All residences are delivered kitchen-equipped. Beyond that, finishes are unfurnished, giving buyers latitude over interiors while inheriting a completed culinary space.

Service charges are set at AED 25 per square foot annually, a figure worth factoring into holding-cost modelling at these sizes.

# Amenities Within the Building

# What the Facilities Cover

The amenity list covers the principal categories that buyers at this price point expect. A gym, swimming pool, wellness centre and cinema room address physical and leisure use. A residents' lounge provides a formal social space separate from the apartments. A kids' play area, restaurants and a Tee Off facility round out the offering.

The restaurant provision is notable in a residential building of only five units: it positions the tower closer to a serviced residence model than a conventional freehold development.

# Location Within the Marina District

Dubai Marina's infrastructure is well-established. The Dubai Metro's Red Line has two stations serving the district, and Sheikh Zayed Road runs along its eastern edge, connecting residents northward to Media City and southward toward central Dubai. The Marina Walk promenade and Bluewaters Island sit within close proximity.

For buyers whose daily logistics depend on airport access, both Dubai International and Al Maktoum International are reachable, the latter serving as the long-run hub for Dubai South's continued expansion.

# Who This Project Is Designed For

Five residences, Kempinski management, and a floor-area range starting above 6,500 square feet define a very specific buyer. This is not a project for someone entering the Dubai market or diversifying across multiple assets. It addresses the buyer consolidating: selling a larger portfolio position and moving into a single, managed, high-specification primary or secondary residence.

For European and UK buyers accustomed to the serviced apartment model in cities like Geneva or London, the Kempinski association translates. For GCC buyers already familiar with Marina pricing, the low unit count and hospitality standard offer something the district's denser towers cannot replicate. At AED 36 million for the largest residence, the pricing sits below comparable ultra-prime product in Downtown Dubai, which may prove the more relevant comparison as handover approaches in 2029.
