Overview

A Vida-branded tower of 105 homes at Rashid Yachts & Marina, launched by Emaar in December 2025 for Q4 2029. Emaar listed 20 units from AED 2,105,888 on 13 November 2026.

Baystar by Vida is a branded residential tower at Rashid Yachts & Marina by Emaar, carrying the Vida name from Emaar's hospitality group. Bookings opened in late December 2025, and Property Finder gives expected completion in December 2029. With 105 homes, it is one of the smaller buildings Emaar is selling in the community.

The mix runs from one- to four-bedroom apartments. Property Finder gives one-bedroom units of 728 to 1,028 sq ft from about AED 2.1 million, two-bedroom units of 1,223 to 1,921 sq ft from AED 4.6 million, three-bedroom units of about 1,700 sq ft, and four-bedroom units of about 2,900 sq ft from AED 11 million. On 13 November 2026 Emaar's inventory showed 20 units available from AED 2,105,888, the launch price, with sizes of 728 to 2,950 sq ft. Emaar lists an infinity pool facing the marina, a gym, children's play areas and landscaped gardens; Property Finder adds a sports court and a multipurpose room.

Property Finder lists two plans: 20% on booking, 60% during construction and 20% on handover, or 10% on booking, 70% in seven instalments and 20% on handover.

Who it suits: buyers who want a branded apartment in a smaller building by the marina, or a large four-bedroom home in the community. What to weigh: Vida buildings usually carry a service charge premium, and Property Finder's prices for three-bedroom units conflict. Several other Emaar towers in the community complete in 2029 and 2030.

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 Baystar by VidaAED 2,105,888

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 84,236

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 2,191,144about £449K

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.
