The waterfront Downtown never had — a marina and a swimmable beach, ten minutes from the heart of the city.

Where you'll buy

The residential communities.

Almost all released homes sit in three waterfront pockets of the masterplan. This is where the listings — and the rental demand — are today.

The masterplan

Ten districts, one Community.

Emaar divides Dubai Creek Harbour’s 550 hectares into ten purpose-built districts — each masterplanned to be self-contained, with homes, retail and services within a short walk. Several are still under development, delivering in phases.

01
The Island District

The most developed zone. High-rise waterfront towers around Creek Marina — Dubai Creek Residences, Harbour Views, The Grand and Address Harbour Point.

The next chapter

70% of the masterplan is still ahead.

Creek Island, Creek Beach and Greengate are built or building — the rest of a 200,000-resident city is still to come, with a curated public realm and full civic infrastructure planned in from day one.

Metro momentum

The world's tallest metro station arrives in 2029.
