What RAK Central is like

A new mixed-use business district beside Al Hamra Village, planned by Marjan with offices, hotels and apartment towers. Lower entry prices than Al Marjan Island, on an unfinished site.

RAK Central is a business district being developed by Marjan, the master developer of Al Marjan Island, on a site directly off the E11 road beside Al Hamra Village. Marjan describes a masterplan of 288,000 sq m with 8.37 million sq ft of floor area across 32 plots: grade A offices, apartments and townhouses, hotels, a university campus and a cultural quarter, served by district cooling.

It is at an early stage. Marjan reported that RAK Central Square has topped out and that the business district is working towards a 2027 opening. The residential towers sold so far complete later than that: Major Developers' Colibri Views is listed for the fourth quarter of 2028 and BNW Developments' Radisson Blu Hotel & Residences for the fourth quarter of 2029.

The attraction is price and position. Studios at Colibri Views are listed from about AED 800,000, well below new apartments on Al Marjan Island, and the district is a few minutes by road from the island, Al Hamra Mall and the golf course. Property Finder's listing for Colibri Views gives 7 minutes to the Wynn resort site, 25 minutes to Ras Al Khaimah International Airport and 50 minutes to Dubai International Airport.

The open question is who will live here. The district has no beach, and the argument for its apartments rests on office workers and resort staff needing homes nearby once the offices and the Wynn resort are operating. That demand does not exist yet.

Suits

  • Buyers seeking lower entry prices
  • Investors targeting long-let tenants
  • Buyers who accept an unfinished district

In its favour

  • Listed as a freehold area by Ras Al Khaimah Municipality.
  • Entry prices well below Al Marjan Island: studios listed from about AED 800,000.
  • Planned by Marjan with offices, hotels and a university campus, not housing alone.
  • About 7 minutes by road from the Wynn resort site and next to Al Hamra Village.

Worth knowing

  • The district is a construction site. Offices are due from 2027 and the first residential towers from late 2028.
  • Tenant demand depends on offices filling and the Wynn resort opening; neither has happened yet.
  • No beach or waterfront, unlike the neighbouring areas it is priced against.
  • The developers selling here are relatively new to Ras Al Khaimah.
  • Marjan's plan has 32 plots; more towers will launch and compete for the same buyers.
