Cotier House 2

Cotier House 2 is a residential building by Imtiaz Development situated on Dubai Islands, the archipelago of five man-made islands extending into the Arabian Gulf north of Deira. Scheduled for completion in April 2027, the project is currently under construction with around six per cent of works complete.

# The building and its position on Dubai Islands

Dubai Islands occupies a stretch of reclaimed coastline that sits roughly nine kilometres from Dubai International Airport and just over twenty kilometres from Downtown Dubai. The area has been planned around a mixed-use model, combining residential communities with beach access, marina infrastructure and retail corridors. Cotier House 2 is a single building within that broader framework.

The architectural language draws on the geometry of water: curved forms, layered facades and an emphasis on how natural light moves across a surface. Floor-to-ceiling glazing runs throughout the building, a practical decision on a coastal site where the orientation towards the Gulf makes that investment in glass worthwhile. The result is a building that reads as considered rather than monumental.

# Residences, layouts and specification

Detailed unit data is not currently published for Cotier House 2. The project has sold out, which limits what can be confirmed on record about specific configurations, floor areas and interior finishes beyond the broad parameters Imtiaz Development has released. The building is delivered unfurnished.

Service charges are set at 16 AED per square foot, a figure buyers should factor into annual holding costs when comparing against competing stock elsewhere on Dubai Islands or in the wider Deira corridor.

# Amenities within the building

The amenity provision is compact but covers the practical categories that have become standard in Dubai mid-rise residential.

# What is included

The building contains an infinity swimming pool, a fitness centre, a clubhouse and business workspaces. EV charging stations are provided, which reflects a gradual shift in how developers in Dubai are thinking about infrastructure for residents rather than retrofitting it later. The combination of workspaces and a clubhouse suggests the project was positioned towards buyers who work flexibly and value having somewhere to take a call or a meeting without leaving the building.

# Location: the island setting and what surrounds it

The Dubai Islands Marina Slipway sits approximately 650 metres from the building, making it walkable by the standards of most Dubai addresses. Deira Islands Beach and the Deira Islands Night Souk are both around 1.7 kilometres away, accessible by car in a short drive or, depending on infrastructure as it develops, on foot along the waterfront.

For families, Spectrum Nursery is roughly 5.5 kilometres from the site. Dubai International Airport sits nine kilometres out, a meaningful advantage for frequent travellers who want to be close to the airport without sacrificing a residential setting. The 22-kilometre distance to Downtown Dubai is honest: this is not a central location, and buyers should approach it as a distinct coastal neighbourhood rather than a shortcut to the city's established commercial core.

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

Cotier House 2 has already sold through its inventory, which positions any remaining discussion of it in the context of the secondary market rather than off-plan acquisition. For buyers who purchased during the sales period, the April 2027 completion date and the five per cent construction progress figure are the relevant data points for tracking the project's trajectory.

For the broader Dubai Islands market, the building represents the kind of mid-scale, design-conscious residential stock that has been drawn to the area as infrastructure matures. Buyers from the UK, Europe and Asia who prioritise proximity to an airport and a genuine coastal setting over access to Downtown amenities are the natural audience. The site does not compete with Palm Jumeirah or Dubai Harbour on brand recognition, but it offers a different proposition: a newer district at an earlier stage, with the corresponding trade-offs on both risk and potential capital appreciation.
