Overview

A 32-storey Emaar tower in Dubai Marina, launched October 2024 for Q3 2029. Emaar had one 1,990 sq ft unit left, from AED 4,575,888, on 13 November 2026.

Marina Cove is a 32-storey apartment tower by Emaar in Dubai Marina, the waterfront district Emaar master-planned in the early 2000s. Sales opened at the end of October 2024, and Property Finder gives expected completion in September 2029.

Property Finder gives one-bedroom units of 790 to 970 sq ft, two-bedroom units of 1,235 to 1,660 sq ft, three-bedroom units of 1,604 to 2,005 sq ft and four-bedroom units of about 2,410 sq ft. Emaar's launch price was AED 2.03 million. On 13 November 2026 its inventory showed one unit left, of 1,990 sq ft, from AED 4,575,888, which is within the three-bedroom range. Emaar lists a gym, a multipurpose room, a children's play area and a landscaped terrace with views over the city.

The launch plan on Property Finder is 10% on booking, 70% during construction and 20% on handover.

Who it suits: a family buyer who wants a new three-bedroom in Dubai Marina, a district where new-build stock is scarce. What to weigh: this is one unit with handover nearly three years away, and Dubai Marina has a deep resale market of completed apartments at a wide range of prices. Property Finder's FAQ wrongly places the project in Abu Dhabi, so rely on Emaar's documents.

Buying costs

Government fees are paid on top of the purchase price. This is the position for the entry-level home; costs scale with price. In Dubai the registration authority is the DLD.

Purchase priceEntry price at Marina CoveAED 4,575,888

DLD transfer fee (4%)Paid to the Dubai Land Department on registration. The department lists it as 2% from each party, but contracts almost always pass the full 4% to the buyer, so a developer's '50% DLD waiver' means the developer is paying its own listed half. Off-plan, it is paid when the sale is registered in the Oqood system.AED 183,036

Oqood registration admin feeOqood portal fee of AED 1,000 plus knowledge and innovation fees, for registering the off-plan sale contract.AED 1,020

Estimated total to completeAED 4,759,944about £975K

Developers may add their own administration charge on off-plan sales. It is set by the developer, not the land department, so it is not included in this estimate: ask for it in writing before you reserve. Adjust the assumptions in the buying cost calculator.
