Dubai Harbour Residence

Dubai Harbour Residence is a low-volume residential development by H&H Development, comprising 74 apartments across three buildings on the waterfront at Dubai Harbour, with completion scheduled for December 2027.

# Three Buildings, One Address at Dubai Harbour

Dubai Harbour sits at the coastal intersection where Palm Jumeirah meets Bluewaters Island, a district that has repositioned this stretch of shoreline as one of the city's more deliberately planned waterfront zones. The project occupies a beachfront position within that district, designed by Tokyo-based practice Nikken Sekkei, whose work elsewhere carries a consistent interest in orientation and natural light. With 74 residences spread across three buildings, the scheme is notably restrained in scale by Dubai Harbour standards. That low density shapes everything from corridor volumes to the ratio of amenity space per resident.

Construction began recently, with a current completion of approximately 2.3 per cent. Buyers purchasing now are acquiring off-plan at an early stage, with handover set for the end of 2027.

# Residences, Layouts and Finish

The development offers two- and three-bedroom apartments exclusively. Two-bedroom units range from around 2,037 sq ft to approximately 2,935 sq ft, a generous band that reflects layouts designed with hosting in mind rather than pure unit count. Three-bedroom apartments sit between roughly 2,683 sq ft and 2,740 sq ft.

Pricing across the two-bedroom range spans approximately AED 7.17 million to AED 14.1 million, with the spread driven by floor position, aspect and size rather than configuration alone. Three-bedroom residences are priced from around AED 8.99 million.

Kitchens come fitted as standard, specified with Grigio Rosa marble and Oakwood marble countertops alongside SMEG and Siemens appliances. The remainder of each residence is delivered unfurnished, allowing buyers to approach interiors independently. Service charges are set at AED 23 per sq ft per annum.

# Amenities: Wellness-Oriented, Spa-Led

The amenity programme skews toward wellness and personal care. On-site facilities include a yoga studio, sauna and steam rooms, a treatment room, hairdressing facilities, and a manicure and pedicure salon. A multifunctional room sits alongside swimming pools and a private beach area with food and beverage access.

# What This Signals About the Resident Profile

The combination of spa-grade personal services within a residential building is relatively unusual at this price point outside of five-star hotel residences. It suggests an operator brief aimed at full-time residents or long-stay users rather than a buy-to-let profile, though nothing in the specification prevents either.

# Position Within Dubai Harbour and Road Connectivity

Dubai Harbour is home to the region's largest marina, a dedicated yacht club, and a pier club, making it a natural address for buyers with maritime interests. The district connects pedestrians between leisure, retail and coastal walkways, which gives it a texture that many newer Dubai communities still lack.

A newly constructed bridge within the district provides direct access to Sheikh Zayed Road, the arterial highway linking Dubai's major districts. That link matters: Dubai Harbour's previous criticism was its relative inaccessibility, and direct highway access changes the practical calculus for residents commuting or travelling frequently across the city.

# Who This Project is For and Where It Sits in the Dubai Market

At AED 7.17 million entry and sizes beginning at 2,037 sq ft, Dubai Harbour Residence is not competing for the compact pied-à-terre buyer. The floor plates and the price points target a buyer who wants genuine square footage on the waterfront, likely pairing this with primary or secondary use rather than short-term rental yield.

For international buyers from the UK, Europe or GCC accustomed to paying comparable sums for significantly smaller properties in coastal or capital markets, the per-square-foot arithmetic in Dubai remains favourable. The early construction stage introduces timing risk, but also the strongest pricing position available in the project cycle. Buyers prioritising waterfront address, generous interiors and a spa-led amenity floor, without the noise of a large-scale tower, will find the 74-unit scale a deliberate feature rather than a compromise.
