The Island and the Water

The two buildings will stand beside a sea canal on a natural island with white sandy beaches and mangroves. Residents will be able to walk straight to the water, and the canal connects to the Arabian Sea. A car bridge of 1.7 km will link the island to the mainland, and the road connects to the E11 and E311 highways. The drive to Al Marjan Island will take 10 minutes, to Sharjah 30 minutes and to Dubai 50 minutes. Downtown UAQ is 20 minutes away.

Marina, Promenade and Golf

The canal between the residential quarters is intended for motor boats and yachts, which will be able to head out to the Arabian Sea, and berths for private vessels are planned within the district. A yacht club with moorings will sit at the centre of the community, and residents will have direct access to the lagoon beach. A pedestrian bridge will lead to the centre of the district, where a promenade with cafes and restaurants, including venues with panoramic views of the marina, is planned. Marina Residences Mall will combine shops and dining, and a hotel in the district will let visiting relatives stay separately from your apartment. An 18-hole golf course will be laid out by the water, and a helipad is part of the island project.

Layouts, Floors and Aspects

One and two-bedroom apartments will occupy floors 2 to 8, and three-bedroom formats are planned for the seventh floor. Windows may face the marina, the park, the water or the podium with the pool, and combinations of these aspects occur. Apartments A-311 and B-316 share the same layout type but differ in orientation: the first faces the park and water, the second the amenities zone and pool. Apartment A-213 faces the park, B-303 the marina and water, B-804 the water, and B-316 the amenities and pool. One-bedroom Type A homes include a guest bathroom and a balcony; the guest bathroom measures 1.45 by 1.60 m and the main bathroom 1.60 by 2.60 m.

Amenities and Surroundings

Infinity pools and fitness centres with marina views are planned on the podiums, along with lounge areas and open play areas for small children. A wide landscaped podium is intended for walks and meetings outdoors, and parks and landscaped gardens will accompany walking paths among flowering plants. Gazelles, oryx, flamingos and rare turtles live in the natural surroundings. Coastal mansions, villas and resort hotels form part of the island project alongside the apartment buildings. Landmarks on the coast include Umm Al Quwain Fort, now a heritage museum, the tombs and temple of the pre-Islamic era at Ed-Dur, and Jazirat Al Hamra, a traditional fishing village with houses of coral stone.
