The Views

The Views is a single residential building by Ardee Developments, currently under construction on Al Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah, with completion scheduled for December 2030. Presale pricing runs from AED 885,000 to AED 1,800,000 across a range of unit sizes.

# The tower and its position on Al Marjan Island

Al Marjan Island occupies a distinct place in the Gulf's coastal development story. The man-made archipelago extends into the Arabian Gulf from the Ras Al Khaimah shoreline, its four coral-shaped land masses connected by a central boulevard. The geometry is unusual and deliberate: residents are surrounded by water on multiple sides, which shapes both the views and the atmosphere of daily life.

The Views sits within this setting as a single building. Ardee Developments has positioned it as a contemporary residential address, with architecture styled to read as modern against the island's coastal backdrop. The scale is contained rather than monumental, which suits an island environment where the surrounding water and sky do much of the visual work.

# Residences, layouts and sizes

Unit sizes span from approximately 390 square feet to 1,000 square feet, a range that covers compact one-bedroom formats at the lower end through to more generous two-bedroom configurations.

Interiors are finished to a modern specification. Kitchens arrive with cabinetry and appliances included, which removes one of the more common post-handover costs that buyers in this segment often encounter. The developer's emphasis is on functional layouts that make efficient use of floor area, with sea views available from much of the building given the island's geography.

At presale, the price range accommodates both entry-level buyers and those looking for a more spacious coastal residence within the same scheme.

# Living on the island

Al Marjan Island's existing infrastructure is part of the case for buying here. The island already hosts a number of hotels and resort properties, which brings a level of leisure and hospitality provision that newer or more peripheral developments in the Emirates cannot yet offer.

The waterfront itself is the primary amenity. The island's beaches and the calm Gulf waters that border them support the kind of outdoor life, swimming, water sports, informal beach use, that buyers from northern Europe and the UK in particular tend to prioritise. Ras Al Khaimah's climate is broadly comparable to Dubai's, with slightly cooler winters that extend the outdoor season.

# Ras Al Khaimah's position in the regional market

Ras Al Khaimah has attracted sustained attention from international buyers over the past two to three years, partly because its entry price points remain meaningfully lower than comparable coastal product in Dubai, and partly because the emirate's longer-term infrastructure commitments have become more legible. The announcement of a major integrated resort on Al Marjan Island has added a further dimension to the island's profile as a leisure destination.

For a buyer with a budget under AED 2 million seeking waterfront exposure in the UAE, The Views addresses a gap that Dubai's coastline can no longer fill at this price level. The 2030 completion horizon means buyers are acquiring on a presale basis, which carries its own considerations around capital deployment and completion risk, but also positions them ahead of what is likely to be a more competitive market on the island once the resort opens.
