Anwa Aria

Anwa Aria is a residential tower by Beyond Developments positioned on Dubai Maritime City's waterfront peninsula, with a scheduled completion of March 2027. Currently past the halfway mark of construction at just over 51 per cent, the project offers a range of apartments, penthouses and podium duplexes set against direct views of the Arabian Gulf.

# The tower and its setting in Dubai Maritime City

Maritime City occupies a man-made peninsula that projects into the Gulf between Port Rashid and the older fabric of Deira, sitting at an angle to the city that few other districts can replicate. It is close enough to central Dubai to retain urban connectivity, yet separated from it by water on three sides. That geography is the project's primary asset.

Anwa Aria is a single tower. Its lobby is finished in marble with high ceilings and large openings that face the waterfront, a deliberate move to blur the boundary between the building's interior and the promenade beyond. The adjacent Mina Rashid cruise destination is within walking distance along the boardwalk, adding retail and dining options that the tower itself does not need to replicate.

# Residences, layouts and specification

The building contains apartments, penthouses and a small number of podium duplexes. The duplex units, of which only three exist, are three-bedroom residences at podium level, each with a private garden wrapping the exterior. The middle duplex also carries an elevated terrace. At the tower's apex, two four-bedroom penthouses sit with unobstructed sightlines across the Gulf and, in select orientations, towards the Burj Khalifa.

Throughout the building, kitchens are fitted by Porcelanosa, with premium appliances included as standard. Living areas use marble and ash wood. Bathrooms combine marble, quartz and porcelain surfaces with dark-toned fixtures. All apartments include fitted wardrobes.

Balconies and large windows are oriented to face the water wherever layouts permit. Residences are unfurnished, giving buyers flexibility on interior approach.

# Amenities within the building

The facility list is focused rather than exhaustive. An infinity-edge pool positioned for sea views is the centrepiece, supported by a fully equipped gymnasium, a yoga studio, and outdoor terraces. A kids' play area and ground-floor retail complete the offer.

The service charge is set at 19 AED per square foot, which buyers should factor into annual cost modelling alongside any mortgage or portfolio calculations.

# Distances to key points across the city

Maritime City's position places Anwa Aria roughly 7 kilometres from La Mer beach and 6.6 kilometres from Dubai Museum, which sits within the Al Fahidi district. City Centre Al Shindagha Mall is 6.3 kilometres away. Downtown Dubai, including Dubai Mall and the DIFC corridor, is 11.8 kilometres by road. New Academy School, one of the established British-curriculum options in the area, is 4.7 kilometres from the site.

Dubai International Airport is accessible without crossing the city centre, a route advantage that residents travelling frequently will notice quickly.

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

Maritime City remains one of the less saturated waterfront addresses in Dubai, compared with the volume of inventory that has moved through Dubai Marina or Emaar Beachfront over the past decade. Anwa Aria's appeal is specific: buyers who want genuine sea orientation, a walkable waterfront, and a peninsula setting that remains architecturally coherent rather than incrementally dense.

The project is currently out of stock through primary channels, meaning any acquisition would come through secondary market activity. At just over half-built, the construction timeline to March 2027 is visible and the escrow registration (13114643920002) confirms regulatory compliance under RERA. For buyers holding a long-term view on Dubai's maritime residential corridor, the remaining period to handover is short relative to most off-plan cycles.
