Anwa Aria

Anwa Aria is a seafront residential tower by Beyond Developments, positioned on the Dubai Maritime City peninsula, with completion scheduled for Q4 2026.

# The tower and its place on the Maritime City waterfront

Dubai Maritime City occupies a purpose-built peninsula between Port Rashid and the open waters of the Arabian Gulf. For years it sat largely as a planning concept; the residential infrastructure has steadily arrived, and Anwa Aria represents one of the more considered commitments to that process. A single building, currently past the halfway mark of construction at roughly 52 per cent complete, it sits along a waterfront promenade that connects directly to the Mina Rashid cruise and leisure district.

The position matters. Maritime City carries none of the commercial density of Downtown or the resort logic of Palm Jumeirah. It occupies a quieter register: urban, waterside, and functionally connected to old Dubai without being absorbed by it. The building's orientation captures sea views across the Arabian Gulf, with select lines of sight to the Burj Khalifa skyline to the north.

# Residences, layouts and finish

Residences at Anwa Aria run from approximately 1,484 to 1,680 square feet, with prices between AED 4.48 million and AED 4.60 million. The homes are delivered unfurnished. A service charge of AED 19 per square foot applies.

Internally, the specification draws on a restrained material palette: marble and ash wood in living areas, with bathrooms finished in a combination of marble, quartz and porcelain set against black hardware. Kitchens are fitted by Porcelanosa with premium appliances included. Wardrobes come pre-fitted. Large windows and positioned balconies bring the water into the everyday sightline of each residence.

The developer's original programme included podium duplexes with private gardens and penthouse units at the upper floors, reflecting a broad range across the tower. Given the current sold-out status, the remaining availability picture would need direct confirmation with the sales team.

# Amenities across the podium and common areas

The amenity programme is concise and practical rather than encyclopaedic. An infinity-edge swimming pool overlooks the sea. The gymnasium is fully equipped. A yoga studio sits alongside outdoor terraces. Families are served by a dedicated children's play area, and ground-floor retail means daily convenience without leaving the building.

Nothing in the list is performative. The amenities reflect a building designed for residential use by people who actually live there, not a hotel surrogate.

# Distance and connectivity from Maritime City

The surrounding area fills in quickly once you understand the geography. La Mer beach sits roughly 7 kilometres away. City Centre Al Shindagha Mall is 6.3 kilometres to the north-west, and Dubai Museum, a reference point for the historic creek quarter, is 6.6 kilometres distant. Downtown Dubai is 11.8 kilometres from the site, placing the tower at a deliberate remove from the emirate's commercial core. New Academy School is 4.7 kilometres away, relevant for buyers with school-age children factoring in a daily commute.

The promenade connection to Mina Rashid adds pedestrian-level access to dining and retail at the waterfront, a practical amenity that does not appear on most floor-plan marketing sheets but shapes daily life considerably.

# Who this building suits and where it sits in the Dubai market

Anwa Aria occupies a price point and location that appeals to a specific type of international buyer: one who wants a primary residence or income-generating asset in Dubai, prefers a waterfront address to a tower-dense mixed-use district, and is not chasing the prestige premium of Palm Jumeirah or Emirates Hills.

For buyers from the UK, Europe and Asia accustomed to paying significantly more for comparable sea-facing square footage, the AED 4.4 to 4.6 million range translates to relative value. The Maritime City address is still establishing its secondary market, which introduces some pricing uncertainty alongside the upside of early-mover positioning. Construction at 51.56 per cent with a Q4 2026 handover represents a measured near-term commitment rather than a speculative off-plan gamble. The escrow account is registered (number 13114643920002), providing the procedural protections buyers should verify before any off-plan commitment in the emirate.
