Overview

A marina-side Emaar tower at Rashid Yachts & Marina, launched March 2026 for Q2 2030. One- to three-bedroom apartments, with 11 units on Emaar's inventory from AED 2,310,888 on 13 November 2026.

Aurea is a residential tower by Emaar at Rashid Yachts & Marina. Bookings opened at the end of March 2026, and Property Finder gives expected completion in June 2030. Emaar sets it by the marina, within the community it is building around the historic Mina Rashid port.

The tower offers one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments. Property Finder gives one-bedroom units of 798 to 988 sq ft from about AED 2.3 million, two-bedroom units of 1,228 to 1,426 sq ft from AED 3.3 million and three-bedroom units from 1,698 sq ft and AED 4.9 million. On 13 November 2026 Emaar's inventory showed 11 units available from AED 2,310,888, the launch price, with sizes of 799 to 1,698 sq ft. Emaar lists an infinity-edge pool, a gym, children's play areas, a landscaped amenities podium and multipurpose rooms.

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

Who it suits: buyers who want a marina apartment near Port Rashid and the old city, on a launch-stage price. What to weigh: the community has a long pipeline of Emaar towers, with Fior 1, Fior 2, Sera 2 and Baystar all due between 2029 and 2030, so rental and resale competition will be strong at handover.

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 1-bedroom apartment at AureaAED 2,310,888

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 92,436

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 2,404,344about £493K

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.
