Question №1 — What is Meriva Signature and who is the developer?

Meriva Signature is a new off-plan residential building by Ellington Properties within The Meriva Collection on Dubai Islands. It has a ground floor, two residential floors and a rooftop, and holds a limited selection of 3 to 5-bedroom penthouses, some with private pools. Residences are delivered semi-furnished, and the community offers private beach access.

Question №2 — Where is Meriva Signature located?

Meriva Signature is on Dubai Islands, Nakheel's waterfront destination off the Deira coast, inside a pedestrianised beachfront enclave. Dubai International Airport is 18 minutes away by car, Dubai Mall and Burj Khalifa are 35 minutes away, and Palm Jumeirah is 45 minutes away.

Question №3 — What types of properties are available at Meriva Signature?

Meriva Signature offers signature penthouses from 3 to 5 bedrooms, each with an expansive terrace and ocean views, and select penthouses add a private pool. The collection is small, and every home is delivered semi-furnished with fitted kitchens, wardrobes and bathroom joinery.

Question №4 — What are the starting prices for Meriva Signature?

Prices start from AED 35,322,828 for a 3-bedroom penthouse of 5,476 sq ft and from AED 46,355,828 for a 5-bedroom penthouse of 6,933 sq ft. That works out at roughly AED 6,450 to AED 6,686 per sq ft. The service charge is AED 18 per sq ft.

Question №5 — What is the Meriva Signature payment plan?

Meriva Signature follows a 70/30 plan with no post-handover payments. Buyers pay 20% on booking plus the 4% Dubai Land Department (DLD) fee and AED 3,150 registration fee, then 10% after 60 days, and 5% instalments at 120, 180, 240 and 360 days and at 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% construction. The final 30% is due on completion.

Question №6 — When is the handover date for Meriva Signature?

Handover is scheduled for Q2 2030. Construction is in progress, and the final 30% of the price falls due on completion, so 70% of the purchase is paid in stages from booking through to 50% construction. Resale is allowed once 35% of the price has been paid.

Question №7 — Does Meriva Signature qualify for the UAE Golden Visa?

Yes. Every penthouse at Meriva Signature starts well above the AED 2,000,000 threshold, so all unit types qualify. The Golden Visa gives 10-year renewable residency for the owner and family, with no sponsor and no minimum stay required. For off-plan homes, eligibility depends on the value registered in the buyer's name.

Question №8 — What amenities are available at Meriva Signature?

Residents have private beach access, an adults' pool with cabanas and a sundeck, a lagoon, a shared jacuzzi and a children's pool. The community also has a covered gym, yoga studio, sauna, padel court, mini golf, jogging tracks, a cinema, a gaming lounge, a coworking zone, a clubhouse and on-site dining.

Question №9 — Are the residences at Meriva Signature furnished?

Residences are delivered semi-furnished. Kitchens, wardrobes and bathrooms arrive fitted with joinery, marble and stone surfaces and brushed champagne fittings, so each penthouse looks finished from handover. For investors, a finished interior shortens the time between handover and letting.

Question №10 — Are there units with private pools at Meriva Signature?

Yes. Select penthouses have a private pool on the terrace, with the ocean beyond. All residents also share the adults' pool, the lagoon, the children's pool and the shared jacuzzi, and have private beach access within the community.

Question №11 — What floor plans are available at Meriva Signature?

Meriva Signature offers 3-bedroom penthouses from 5,476 sq ft and 5-bedroom penthouses from 6,933 sq ft, with 4-bedroom penthouses also in the range. Each penthouse has an expansive terrace, and the larger layouts add bedrooms and living space. Full floor plans and pricing for the 4-bedroom homes are available on request.

Question №12 — Can I buy property at Meriva Signature as a foreign national?

Yes. Dubai Islands is a freehold area, so foreign nationals can own a penthouse at Meriva Signature outright. Off-plan purchases are registered with the Dubai Land Department, and buyers should confirm the registration and escrow details through official channels before paying a booking amount.

Question №13 — Who is Ellington Properties and what has it built?

Ellington Properties is a design-led Dubai developer founded in 2014 by Robert D. Booth, Joseph Thomas and Elie Naaman. Its portfolio spans Dubai and Ras Al Khaimah and includes Belgravia in Jumeirah Village Circle, Ellington House in Dubai Hills Estate and Arbor View in Arjan, and the Ellington Art Foundation supports emerging UAE artists.

Meriva Signature — Ocean-View Penthouses in The Meriva Collection

Meriva Signature is the penthouse building of The Meriva Collection, Ellington Properties' beachfront community on Dubai Islands, where landscaped paths and winding waterways lead at an unhurried pace to the sea. The building stays low and the horizon stays open. Each penthouse is arranged around a generous terrace with uninterrupted ocean views, with interiors in warm wood, marble and champagne tones and a daily rhythm set by the water.

Terraces Facing the Ocean, With Private Pools on Select Penthouses

Every penthouse opens onto an expansive terrace built for the view, and floor-to-ceiling glazing makes the sea the backdrop of each room. On select residences, fully openable glass connects the living area to a private infinity-edge pool, so water and horizon become part of the interior. The ocean stays in sight from morning coffee to the last light of the evening, with nothing standing in the way.

Curved Façades in Warm Stone, Glass and Metallic Accents

Soft curves replace hard edges at Meriva Signature. Organic lines and graceful bends shape the façade, giving each terrace its own privacy, while warm stone tones, glass and fine metallic accents respond to the sun and the sea breeze through the day. The rounded form echoes a pebble smoothed by the water and gives the building a recognisable silhouette on the shoreline.

Interiors in Grey Marble, Warm Wood and Brushed Champagne

Penthouse kitchens are built around a grey marble island and full-height marble backsplash in smooth and fluted finishes, with warm wood joinery, backlit smoky glass shelving and brushed champagne fittings. Master bathrooms continue the palette with stone-clad showers, tinted glass and his and hers storage, and powder rooms feature a smoky blue glass basin. Fitted joinery in every kitchen, wardrobe and bathroom gives each penthouse a finished look from day one.

A Pedestrian Beachfront Enclave Along Winding Waterways

The Meriva Collection is a pedestrianised enclave, where shaded walkways and flowing water lead from the building to a beach with private access for residents. An evening can begin with a walk to the sand and end at the clubhouse or the cinema. Few penthouse addresses combine a beach, a lagoon and a quiet, walkable setting, and this collection stays deliberately small.

Meriva Signature Location — Dubai Islands, Dubai

Dubai Islands is Nakheel's waterfront destination off the Deira coast, with long beaches, a Blue Flag certified stretch, marinas, and beach resorts such as RIU Dubai and Centara Mirage already welcoming guests. Residents have the sea on one side and the city centre within reach on the other. The master plan keeps adding hotels, residences and leisure, which sustains the appeal of a beachfront address here.

Why Owners Choose Meriva Signature

A Quiet Beachfront Life With Everything Within Reach

Arrival is designed to feel personal: a smart reader recognises the owner’s car, the valet greets them by name and the lift is already waiting. Upstairs, the day moves between a private terrace and a community with a lagoon, a sundeck, a clubhouse, a cinema, a coworking zone and cafés and restaurants on site. Children have their own pool and play areas, and pets are welcome. Mornings start on the jogging track or in the yoga studio, and evenings end by the water.

Property Types at Meriva Signature

The signature penthouses make up the whole collection, from three to five bedrooms, each with an expansive terrace facing the ocean. The largest layouts give the most generous space for living and entertaining, and select residences add a private pool on the terrace. Every penthouse is delivered semi-furnished, with fitted kitchens, wardrobes and bathroom joinery in marble, stone and warm wood.

The three-bedroom penthouses suit families who want a beachfront home with room to host, and buyers looking for a lock-and-leave residence on the water. The five-bedroom penthouses suit multi-generational households, with space for visiting family, a private terrace and the calm of a low-rise building by the sea. For investors, both are rare homes at the top of the market.

Early Entry on Dubai Islands

Dubai Islands is still being built out, and buying at launch means entering before the community fills in. The plan spreads 70% of the price across booking and construction, with 30% due on completion in Q2 2030, and resale is allowed once 35% has been paid. Nakheel has awarded further infrastructure and beach contracts on the islands this year, which adds to the destination’s momentum. Early buyers also secure their choice of penthouse before the community matures.

Rental Demand and Resale Appeal

Dubai’s prime waterfront market, with Palm Jumeirah as its benchmark, has shown gross rental yields of around 4,5% a year in the first quarter of 2026. Meriva Signature has no rental history of its own, so returns will depend on the market at handover. Ocean-view terraces, semi-furnished delivery and amenities from private beach access to a clubhouse help a penthouse stand out when letting or reselling. Pet-friendly living and a coworking zone widen the pool of likely tenants.

UAE Golden Visa Eligibility

Every penthouse at Meriva Signature starts well above the AED 2,000,000 threshold for the UAE Golden Visa, so all unit types qualify. The visa gives 10-year renewable residency with no sponsor required, family members included and no minimum stay. For off-plan homes, eligibility depends on the value registered in the buyer’s name, so buyers should confirm the details at application. Residency is linked to the property, so owners keep full freedom to live, work and travel as they choose.

Infrastructure Advantages of Dubai Islands

Bridge Links to the City and Airport

Dubai Islands connects to the mainland by bridge, and the Al Shindagha Corridor, a major RTA project, is improving the route towards the city centre. From Meriva Signature, Dubai International Airport is about 18 minutes away and Dubai Mall and Burj Khalifa about 35 minutes. Flights, meetings and dinners in Downtown all sit within a comfortable drive, and errands across Deira and Al Mamzar are short trips, while the enclave itself stays pedestrianised and quiet.

Beaches, Resorts and Leisure Close to Home

The islands already offer beaches, including a Blue Flag certified stretch, and beach resorts such as RIU Dubai and Centara Mirage. Nakheel has contracted a beach upgrade along the western shoreline, expected by the end of 2027, and more marinas, hotels and retail are planned across the wider master plan, so the choice of places to go keeps widening. Within Meriva Signature, dining outlets, retail, a cinema, a padel court and mini golf keep leisure at the door.

Established Neighbourhoods Across the Water

Dubai Islands is being delivered as a complete community of residences, hotels and mixed-use districts, and the established Deira and Al Mamzar neighbourhoods across the water already offer schools, clinics and supermarkets. Inside Meriva Signature, children have a pool, a covered play area and a splash pad, pets are welcome, and jogging tracks and landscaped gardens give the community room to breathe, which suits families settling here for the long term.
