Bayfront Marina Residences
Fully furnished one- to three-bedroom apartments in Tower A of Bayfront, a lagoon-facing Marina Residences cluster on Sobha's Siniya Island in Umm Al Quwain, from AED 1.36 million, due September 2029.
What works
- Sold fully furnished, ready to let on completion.
- A 10% deposit, with 40% held until completion on the published plan.
- Lagoon and promenade setting on the marina side of the island, as described by Sobha.
What to weigh
- Two-bedroom layouts vary from about 672 to 988 sq ft; the starting price will relate to the smallest.
- The three-bedroom costs about AED 6.1 million, roughly AED 2,800 per sq ft including its terrace.
- Several near-identical Marina Residences clusters complete between 2029 and 2030, so resale and rental competition will be strong.
Florine Beach Residences
Two- and three-bedroom homes in four beach towers on Sobha's Siniya Island, between the beach and the planned golf course. Listed by Sobha from AED 1.93 million on 12 November 2026; completion expected in late 2028.
What works
- Position between the beach and the planned golf course, according to Sobha
- Current stock is the larger two- and three-bedroom homes, up to about 2,050 sq ft
- Tower A homes are sold fully furnished, which simplifies letting
What to weigh
- The AED 1.21 million figure still quoted on Property Finder and in Sobha's FAQ does not match Sobha's current listing, which starts at AED 1.93 million for two-bedroom flats
- The golf course and yacht club that justify the setting are still to be built
- 40% of the price is due at handover
