W The Residences by Arada

W The Residences is a collection of 123 homes across three towers at Dubai Harbour, developed by Arada and scheduled for completion in December 2028. Currently under construction and on sale, the project spans one- to five-bedroom residences with prices ranging from approximately AED 3.88 million to AED 65 million.

# Three towers on the Dubai Harbour waterfront

Dubai Harbour sits on the coast between Dubai Marina and Palm Jumeirah, a district built around a deepwater marina and designed from the outset as a high-density, high-specification residential address. W The Residences occupies this setting as a three-tower complex, its architecture oriented to maximise sightlines across the Gulf and back toward the Marina skyline.

The three-tower format allows the development to read as a coherent ensemble rather than a solitary block. At 123 residences across the three buildings, the scheme is deliberately low in unit count relative to its footprint, which shapes the density of shared amenities per household.

Construction is underway, with handover targeted for December 2028.

# Residences from one-bedroom apartments to five-bedroom penthouses

The unit range is broad. One-bedroom apartments start at around 1,023 sq ft and price from AED 3.88 million, with larger one-bedroom configurations reaching 1,565 sq ft and upwards of AED 6.99 million. Two-bedroom residences span roughly 1,577 sq ft to 2,579 sq ft, priced between approximately AED 5.85 million and AED 15.24 million. Three-bedroom homes run from 1,933 sq ft to 5,731 sq ft, with prices ranging from AED 7.14 million to AED 30.17 million.

At the upper end, four-bedroom residences reach 5,415 sq ft and AED 29.73 million. Five-bedroom homes extend to 11,795 sq ft, priced at AED 65 million, with one exceptional unit listed at 15,089 sq ft.

Kitchens come fitted and appliance-equipped. All other areas are delivered unfinished, giving buyers latitude over interiors. Service charges run at 30 to 35 AED per sq ft per year, a figure worth factoring into yield calculations for those buying with rental income in mind.

# What the amenity list actually contains

The building's shared facilities include a rooftop lounge, an infinity pool, a gym, a spa, a yoga and stretching studio, and a dedicated BBQ area. A private cinema, a recording studio, meeting and co-working spaces, a kids' play area, and a selection of restaurants and retail round out the programme.

# A note on the pool

Developer materials describe it as one of Dubai's longest infinity pools. JRE has not independently verified that claim, but the infinity configuration, positioned across a three-tower complex at waterfront elevation, is a meaningful design choice given the Gulf views on offer.

The recording studio is an unusual inclusion. It speaks to a buyer profile that values creative amenity alongside the conventional wellness stack, and it differentiates the building from the more standard gym-pool-spa formula found across much of Dubai's luxury mid-rise stock.

# Connections within Dubai Harbour and beyond

JBR Beach sits 2.3 km from the development. Trident Grand Mall is 1.5 km away, and a park within Dubai Harbour itself is roughly 270 metres on foot. A nursery, Chubby Cheeks in Dubai Marina, is within a kilometre.

Downtown Dubai is 21.2 km by road. Dubai International Airport is 31.1 km out. Al Maktoum International Airport, the future primary hub currently expanding under a long-term government programme, is accessible via Sheikh Zayed Road to the south, though no drive times are confirmed in available data.

The location gives straightforward access to the beach, the Marina dining and retail circuit, and the major arterials connecting to the rest of the city.

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

A 123-unit count across three towers signals restraint. At that ratio, shared facilities are unlikely to feel oversubscribed, and the building does not function as a mid-market rental block dressed up in premium cladding.

The price per square foot across the one-bedroom range varies considerably, from roughly AED 3,500 at the lower end to above AED 4,400 at the upper, reflecting floor position, configuration, and presumably view orientation. Buyers should model this carefully against comparable completed stock in Dubai Marina and Emaar Beachfront, both of which offer secondary-market inventory at varying premiums to off-plan.

For an international buyer seeking a Dubai foothold with a longer capital horizon, the December 2028 completion date places the handover in a period when both Dubai Harbour's infrastructure and the broader Northern Marina corridor are expected to be more fully developed. The W brand affiliation also opens a pathway toward managed rental programmes for those not intending to occupy full-time, though any such arrangement would need to be confirmed directly with the developer.
