Pier Point

Pier Point is a two-tower residential development by Emaar, positioned within the Rashid Yachts & Marina district of Mina Rashid, offering waterfront apartments priced from AED 3.19 million and scheduled for handover in October 2028.

# The towers and their position within Mina Rashid

Mina Rashid sits in the older, creek-adjacent quarter of Dubai, a district that has been repositioned over the past decade from working port infrastructure into a mixed-use maritime address. Pier Point occupies a plot within Rashid Yachts & Marina, a full-service marina development that accommodates up to 430 wet berths for yachts reaching 100 metres in length. The two towers rise from a shared landscaped podium, a horizontal base that anchors the residential volume to the waterfront promenade and marina edge below.

At 6.25% construction progress with completion set for October 2028, the project is early in its build cycle. For buyers comfortable with off-plan timelines, that positioning also reflects where pricing currently sits.

# Residences, layouts and finish

The available units span two-bedroom and three-bedroom configurations. Two-bedroom apartments range from approximately 1,278 to 1,292 square feet, priced between AED 3.19 million and AED 3.22 million. A single three-bedroom apartment sits at 2,682 square feet, priced at AED 9.69 to 9.69 million.

Furnishing is partial: kitchens are fitted, the remainder is unfurnished. That arrangement suits buyers who intend to specify their own interiors rather than inherit a developer's furniture package, though it also means fit-out costs should be factored into purchase budgets. Service charges are pegged at AED 23 to 25 per square foot annually.

The developer describes the specification as contemporary with high-quality materials, though detailed finish schedules were not available at the time of writing.

# Amenities within the development

The podium level carries the project's communal offer. An infinity pool with open views over the marina forms the centrepiece, supported by a fitness centre, a yoga deck, landscaped gardens, multipurpose rooms and children's play areas. The combination is functional rather than exhaustive, reflecting a mid-tier amenity stack appropriate for the price band rather than the ultra-premium category.

The broader Rashid Yachts & Marina precinct adds restaurants and retail, though the specific operators were not confirmed in available materials.

# Distances from Pier Point

Downtown Dubai lies approximately 11.6 kilometres away. Dubai International Airport is 14.4 kilometres from the site, placing it within reasonable range for frequent travellers without the proximity that some buyers in business-intensive zones prioritise. City Centre Al Shindagha is roughly six kilometres out, useful for day-to-day retail. North Beach at Pearl Jumeirah is 6.9 kilometres, accessible but not walkable.

The neighbourhood itself is still maturing. Mina Rashid is not yet the established address that Dubai Marina or Downtown represent. Buyers are, to some extent, pricing in what the district becomes as much as what it currently is.

# Who Pier Point suits, and where it stands in the Dubai market

The pricing at Pier Point, AED 3.19 million to AED 3.22 million for a two-bedroom unit of around 1,285 square feet, puts it at a measurable discount to comparable Emaar waterfront product in more established zones. That gap reflects location risk in a district still building its identity, and a construction timeline extending to late 2028.

For buyers seeking marina-adjacent living without the per-square-foot premium of Dubai Marina or Emaar Beachfront, Pier Point represents a credible middle ground. The project is best suited to buy-to-hold investors comfortable with the Mina Rashid trajectory, and to owner-occupiers drawn to the maritime character of the address rather than proximity to the city's commercial core. It is not a short-cycle play. The October 2028 handover and the district's ongoing development mean patience is part of the proposition.
