Meraas Off-Plan Projects: Prices, Payment Plans & New Launches
Payment Plans & Prices
Meraas structures its payment plans around construction-linked instalments, with 60/40 and 70/30 splits the most common across City Walk, La Mer and Madinat Jumeirah Living. Villa launches at Nad Al Sheba Gardens have used tighter early-stage structures such as 10/40/50 and 5/55/40, while the ultra-luxury Bvlgari Lighthouse on Jumeirah Bay Island is sold on a 90/10 plan with the balance due on handover. Booking deposits typically run 10-20% of the purchase price, with the remainder staggered against build milestones and, on select launches, a post-handover tranche. Buyers should also budget for Dubai's standard 4% DLD transfer fee, payable on top of the property price.
Entry-level Meraas prices start from around AED 1.46M for a one-bedroom apartment at Madinat Jumeirah Living, with City Walk Northline from AED 1.83M and Design Quarter at d3 from AED 1.87M. Villas and townhouses at Nad Al Sheba Gardens start from roughly AED 4.18M, rising through the community's later villa-plot phases. At the top of the portfolio, branded residences on Jumeirah Bay Island — including Bvlgari Lighthouse — begin well above AED 20M.
Meraas New Launches 2026
Meraas new launches for 2026 span three fronts: waterfront, creative-district and family-villa. On the coast, Jumeirah Asora Bay brings ultra-luxury apartments, a signature penthouse and four- to seven-bedroom Ocean Mansions to the La Mer shoreline, alongside the boutique Solaya at La Mer. In Dubai Design District, the developer's d3 residential expansion continues with Design Quarter, Atélis at d3, The Edit at d3 and Artistry One Residences, anchored around a new pedestrian corridor known as the Design Line. At Nad Al Sheba Gardens, later villa and townhouse phases — including Phase 11 — extend the gated community, with handovers scheduled into 2029. Recent apartment releases at Madinat Jumeirah Living (MJL Nourelle) and Central Park at City Walk (Fern, Erin, Thyme) round out the current pipeline of upcoming Meraas projects, most carrying handover dates between late 2026 and 2029. Meraas was named Developer of the Year – United Arab Emirates at the Real Estate Asia Awards 2026, recognised for its innovation-led delivery framework.
Property Types
Meraas apartments for sale range from compact one-bedroom units at Madinat Jumeirah Living and Central Park at City Walk to four- and five-bedroom penthouses in Bluewaters Bay and Jumeirah Bay Island. Meraas villas for sale are concentrated in Nad Al Sheba Gardens, where three- to six-bedroom villas and townhouses sit on landscaped plots with private gardens, alongside The Acres, a nature-focused villa community with over 40% green space. Townhouses are also available at Port de La Mer and within select Nad Al Sheba Gardens phases. At the ultra-luxury end, Jumeirah Asora Bay and Bvlgari Lighthouse offer four- to seven-bedroom Ocean Mansions and sky-villas with private pools and direct sea access. Unit sizes and floor plans vary by community, so buyers comparing branded residences against standard apartments should confirm exact sq ft and layout details on the individual project page before reserving.

About Meraas
Founded in Dubai in 2007, Meraas built its reputation as a master developer of large-scale, experience-led destinations rather than standalone residential towers. The company joined Dubai Holding in 2020 and today operates as one of the flagship real estate brands under Dubai Holding Real Estate (DHRE), alongside Nakheel, Meydan and Dubai Properties, following the government-directed consolidation of Dubai's master developers.
Meraas's portfolio spans waterfront islands, urban retail districts and suburban villa communities across Dubai. Landmark destinations include City Walk in Al Wasl, the beachfront community of La Mer in Jumeirah, Bluewaters Island — home to the observation wheel Ain Dubai — Dubai Design District (d3), Jumeirah Bay Island (home to Bulgari Resort & Residences), Madinat Jumeirah Living in Umm Suqeim, and the gated villa community of Nad Al Sheba Gardens. Meraas also co-developed Dubai Hills Estate as a joint venture with Emaar Properties.
Meraas was named Developer of the Year – United Arab Emirates at the Real Estate Asia Awards 2026, in recognition of an innovation-led delivery framework credited with a 15% reduction in design errors and construction waste and 97% budgeting accuracy. As part of Dubai Holding Real Estate — which oversees a combined land bank exceeding 752 million sq ft — Meraas continues an active pipeline of new launches across its established communities.

Investment Advantages
Institutional Backing
As a flagship brand of Dubai Holding Real Estate, Meraas carries the financial backing of one of Dubai’s largest government-linked conglomerates, reducing counterparty risk relative to smaller private developers.
Freehold Access to Prime Coastline
Meraas pioneered freehold ownership for international buyers in areas that were previously restricted, including La Mer in Jumeirah and Madinat Jumeirah Living in Umm Suqeim, opening some of Dubai’s most established beachfront addresses to foreign investment.
Rental Yield Potential
Communities such as Dubai Design District (d3) have delivered gross rental yields in the region of 6-8%, above Dubai’s citywide apartment average, driven by demand from creative-sector professionals and limited comparable supply nearby.
Golden Visa Eligibility
Meraas properties priced from AED 2 million can qualify buyers for a UAE Golden Visa, offering long-term residency alongside capital appreciation potential in a zero-income-tax jurisdiction.
Key Areas by Meraas
City Walk, in Al Wasl, was one of Meraas's earliest urban destinations, built around a pedestrian-first boulevard rather than a conventional tower-and-podium layout. Meraas City Walk apartments sit alongside over one million sq ft of retail, dining and entertainment, including The Green Planet and Coca-Cola Arena, five minutes from Downtown Dubai.
La Mer, on the Jumeirah 1 coastline, was one of the first freehold beachfront communities open to international buyers in this part of Dubai. Meraas La Mer developments include Port de La Mer, Sur La Mer townhouses and the newer Jumeirah Asora Bay and Solaya launches, combining beach access with resort-style dining and leisure.
Dubai Design District, known as d3, has evolved from a creative business hub into a residential destination through Meraas d3 launches such as Design Quarter, Atélis and The Edit. The district borders the Dubai Water Canal and attracts strong rental demand from the design, fashion and media professionals who work there.
Nad Al Sheba Gardens is Meraas's main family-villa community, a gated, low-density enclave roughly ten minutes from Downtown Dubai with landscaped parks and cycling tracks. Madinat Jumeirah Living, in Umm Suqeim, offers apartment living within walking distance of the Burj Al Arab and Madinat Jumeirah resort, and — together with Bluewaters Island and Jumeirah Bay Island — completes the spread of Meraas communities across Dubai's coastline and suburbs.
