Dana Bay villas: Dubai Investments Real Estate completes handover of all 189 villas on Marjan Island
Dubai Investments Real Estate has completed handover of all 189 Dana Bay villas on Marjan Island, delivering beachfront and onshore units and advancing the wider mixed‑use development toward opening.
Project Handover Completed
The developer announced the final phase of villa handovers at the Dana Bay project on Marjan Island, confirming that all 189 villas have now been delivered to buyers. This total includes 171 onshore villas and 18 units constructed on the breakwater, completing the residential element of the waterfront enclave. The completion marks a major milestone in the project’s delivery timeline and clears the way for residents to take possession.
Villa Types and Finishings Delivered
The handed‑over homes comprise a range of townhouses and three‑, four‑ and five‑bedroom villas, together with a selection of luxury beachfront properties. Developer statements said construction, building systems, internal fit‑outs and external infrastructure were completed across all villa units. Buyers received fully finished residences with the supporting utilities and communal infrastructure in place.
Residential Tower Structural Progress
Alongside the villa handovers, construction continues on the development’s residential tower, which will contain 143 apartments across 19 storeys. Foundations and primary infrastructure works for the tower have been completed, and the developer reports that the superstructure is approximately 78% complete. Those milestones keep the tower on a steady schedule toward structural completion.
Mechanical, Electrical and Finishing Works Underway
Work on facades, mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems is continuing across multiple floors of the tower, with internal finishes progressing in parallel. Overall project reporting places the tower’s total completion at around 38%, reflecting ongoing fit‑out and systems installation. These remaining works are being staged to align with handover schedules for residences and common areas.
Hospitality and Leisure Components Advancing
Construction of hospitality facilities within the Dana Bay masterplan has moved beyond early development stages, with developer updates indicating more than 30% progress. The hospitality precinct is being developed to complement the residential offer and to support dining, leisure and retail provision on the waterfront. Completion of these elements is intended to position Dana Bay as an integrated coastal destination for both residents and visitors.
Developer Perspective and Delivery Commitment
Dubai Investments Real Estate cited coordinated execution across construction and delivery teams as central to meeting the project timetable and ensuring quality outcomes for buyers. The company highlighted the handover as a demonstration of its delivery capabilities and ongoing commitment to developing a mixed‑use waterfront community. Senior management emphasised that the delivered villas and advancing tower and hospitality works will collectively support the broader vision for the Marjan Island development.
Economic and Tourism Implications for Ras Al Khaimah
The completion of the villa handovers at Dana Bay is likely to bolster Ras Al Khaimah’s appeal to both domestic and international investors seeking coastal residential assets. Industry observers expect the influx of new residents and forthcoming hospitality offerings to stimulate local services and leisure economies. The project’s progress may also support the emirate’s objectives to diversify tourism and attract longer‑stay visitors.
Market Response and Future Phases
Early market feedback from estate agents and buyers has focused on the attractiveness of beachfront living and the quality of the delivered finishes. With the villas now occupied or ready for occupation, attention will turn to finalising the tower apartments and opening hospitality outlets. Future project phases will be watched closely for announced timelines on public amenities, retail openings and guest services.
The completion of all 189 Dana Bay villas on Marjan Island represents a significant delivery achievement for Dubai Investments Real Estate and a tangible step forward for the emirate’s waterfront development ambitions.
