Anwa

Anwa by Omniyat is a completed residential tower in Dubai Maritime City, delivering a small collection of large-format three-bedroom residences on the city's working waterfront, with direct views across the Arabian Sea.

# The tower and its position in Maritime City

Anwa holds the distinction of being the first tower completed in Dubai Maritime City, a district that occupies a man-made peninsula stretching into the Gulf between Port Rashid and the creek mouth. The area carries a genuinely industrial maritime character: dry docks, shipyards and specialist marine businesses form its backbone, which gives the residential offering here a texture quite different from the polished master-planned communities further down the coast.

The tower stands as the tallest structure in the district at the time of its completion in Q1 2022. Its orientation delivers unobstructed sea views on the upper floors, with the skyline of Downtown Dubai visible to the south-west on clear days.

# Residences: scale, finish and configuration

The building holds just two available units, both three-bedroom apartments. One sits at 4,515 sq ft, priced at AED 16.3 million. The other runs to 6,148 sq ft at AED 24.8 million. Those are substantial floor plates by any measure, closer in scale to a townhouse than a conventional apartment.

# Specification and finish

Interiors arrive semi-furnished, with marble stone flooring across the living areas, fully finished bathrooms with premium ceramic tiles and designer sanitary ware, and European-brand fitted kitchens with integrated appliances. Wardrobes and internal doors are finished in American timber-look panelling. Ceiling heights are generous throughout, with select units featuring double-height living spaces and staff accommodation with natural light.

The service charge runs at AED 19 per sq ft annually, consistent with a building of this size and specification.

# Amenities on-site

The amenities offer a focused rather than exhaustive list: an infinity pool, a gym, a kids pool with a separate play area, and a yoga and Pilates room. There is no hotel-style excess here. For buyers prioritising space and quiet over resort infrastructure, that restraint reads as considered rather than deficient.

# Connections to the wider city

Dubai International Airport sits 13 km away, roughly 22 minutes by car. Downtown Dubai is a 20-minute drive, placing the city's principal business and retail corridor within easy reach for residents who work or spend time there regularly. Jumeira Public Beach is 14 minutes west. City Centre Al Shindagha, the nearest retail hub, is 14 minutes by car. Ambassador School, catering to families with school-age children, is 13 minutes away at 5.2 km.

The location is not for buyers who want to walk to a beach club. It suits those who value the drive times over the postcodes.

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

At 4,500 to 6,100 sq ft, these are residences for buyers who have exhausted the standard Dubai apartment format and want something closer to private floor living, without committing to a villa plot. The Maritime City address remains less recognised than Palm Jumeirah or DIFC, which is precisely its appeal to a buyer who prefers understatement. Omniyat, whose other completed projects include One at Palm Jumeirah, brings a credibility that reduces the usual due-diligence burden on an off-market district. With construction complete and handover already delivered, there is no completion risk. The only question is whether the district's long-term commercial development matches its residential ambition.
