Royal Yacht Club Residence

Royal Yacht Club Residence is a two-building waterfront development by Azimuth Development, positioned on Dubai Islands and oriented towards the marina promenade and open sea. Currently under construction at just over three percent completion, the project comprises nine residences ranging from one to four bedrooms.

# Two Buildings, One Marina Address

Dubai Islands sits off the Deira coastline, a group of five man-made islands that has attracted considerable developer interest as infrastructure on the archipelago matures. Azimuth has chosen a marina-facing position for this project, placing both buildings directly alongside the promenade rather than set back from the water. The twin-tower configuration is modest in unit count, which is a deliberate characteristic of the scheme. Nine residences across two buildings signals a density closer to a private address than a conventional apartment complex.

The architectural language, as expressed in Azimuth's brief, draws on maritime references: horizontal lines, expansive glazing, and balconies designed to maximise sightlines across the yacht harbour. At 3.15 percent construction progress, the built form is still early-stage, so the finished product will take time to confirm.

# Residences: Sizes, Layouts and Kitchen Specification

The range opens at 720 square feet for a one-bedroom apartment, priced at AED 2,300,000. Two-bedroom configurations span three distinct floor-plate sizes: 1,146, 1,306 and 1,682 square feet, reflecting meaningful variation in layout rather than superficial rounding. Three-bedroom units begin at 1,932 square feet, with one confirmed at 2,211 square feet priced at AED 6,396,060. The largest four-bedroom residence runs to 3,909 square feet, with the entry-level four-bedroom starting at 2,304 square feet and priced at AED 9,018,750.

All residences are delivered with kitchens fitted and furnished. Other rooms are handed over unfurnished, giving buyers discretion over interiors beyond the kitchen specification. The developer describes a coastal palette throughout: stone-effect worktops, integrated appliances, floor-to-ceiling glazing in living areas, and premium bathroom fittings.

Service charges are quoted at AED 23–25 per square foot per annum, relevant context for buyers calculating holding costs on a larger unit.

# Amenities on the Marina Level

The facilities list covers a reasonable cross-section of resort-style amenity for a building of this scale. An infinity pool with marina views sits alongside a separate family pool and pool deck. A fitness centre, indoor yoga studio, and children's play area cover the main wellness and family categories. The multi-purpose community lounge adds a flexible social space.

Ground-level retail units and a promenade walkway connect residents to the broader marina environment without requiring a car journey for everyday errands.

# Dubai Islands: The Infrastructure Case

The location case for Dubai Islands rests on a longer-term proposition. The archipelago connects to the mainland via established road infrastructure, with Deira and the broader northern corridor of the city accessible by road. Downtown Dubai and Dubai Marina are a drive away, as is Dubai International Airport, though journey times will depend on traffic patterns that the islands' own development pipeline will influence over time.

Buyers considering Dubai Islands now are, in effect, making a judgement on the pace and quality of the broader masterplan's delivery. The address carries marina-front positioning; the surrounding ecosystem is still forming.

# Who This Project Suits and Where It Sits in the Market

At AED 2,300,000 for an entry-level one-bedroom, Royal Yacht Club Residence is priced at the accessible end of Dubai's waterfront market without sitting in the mass-market tier. The four-bedroom ceiling of just over AED 9,000,000 keeps the project within reach of buyers who might otherwise look at mid-range Palm Jumeirah or Dubai Marina inventory.

The low unit count is the defining commercial characteristic here. Nine residences means limited supply on resale and a manageable owner community, which appeals to buyers who prioritise privacy and a degree of exclusivity without committing to the price points that trophy addresses on the Palm command. The trade-off is the construction timeline and the early-stage nature of the surrounding island infrastructure. For buyers comfortable with both variables, the marina position and the size of the larger units offer a combination that is genuinely difficult to source at this price bracket in Dubai's current market.
