About LIV Waterside
LIV Waterside is an off-plan residential tower in Dubai Marina, developed by LIV Developers (the project's registered developer entity is listed as L I V Property Services Co L.L.C.). Marketing material describes the plot as the widest, or largest, waterfront plot in Dubai Marina, with roughly 175 metres of marina water frontage. Sources vary on the exact storey count, 26 storeys per the developer's own project site and 27 storeys per Bayut's building guide, a small discrepancy of the same kind seen across other new-build Dubai Marina towers.
The completed tower is planned to hold 155 residences: 92 one-bedroom, 35 two-bedroom and 14 three-bedroom apartments, 3 signature duplex units, 2 duplex penthouses, 3 signature waterfront townhouses, 5 signature waterfront villas and a single mansion. Unit sizes are reported from around 757 square feet for a one-bedroom apartment up to roughly 10,000 square feet for the mansion, with duplex penthouses occupying the top two floors and including a private Sky Garden. LIV Waterside is one of several LIV-branded towers in Dubai Marina from the same developer, alongside LIV Marina (44 storeys, completed May 2025) and LIV Residence (28 storeys, completed 2019 to 2020), both genuinely separate, already-delivered buildings, not the same project under a different name.
As of this writing, LIV Waterside has not been handed over. Several listing sites report an original mid-to-late 2025 target (July 2025 per Bayut, 30 September 2025 per famproperties, Q3 2025 per Vision-Ary), and more recent listings show later, phased handover windows into 2026, a common pattern for Dubai off-plan schedules. One aggregator (Propsearch) publishes a conflicting profile for this exact page describing an entirely different, older building, construction started 2007 and completed October 2023 with 151 units and WS Atkins & Partners as architect, which does not match any other source and is not used here.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
LIV Waterside sits on the water in Dubai Marina, described by its marketing as a first-line, waterfront-facing plot along the marina promenade. Being in Dubai Marina puts residents close to Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai Marina Mall, the Ain Dubai observation wheel and the Dubai Marina Walk, along with the wider JBR beachfront a short distance away.
Dubai Marina is one of Royale Stays' core operating areas, alongside Palm Jumeirah, Downtown Dubai, JBR and Business Bay, and the company already manages Airbnb listings in Dubai Marina towers including LIV Marina, LIV Residence, No.9 Tower, Attessa Tower and The Residence at Marina Gate 2.
Unit Types
LIV Waterside is planned to comprise 155 residences across a wide size range: 92 one-bedroom apartments from around 757 square feet, 35 two-bedroom apartments from around 1,184 square feet, 14 three-bedroom apartments around 1,733 square feet, 3 signature duplex units from around 2,572 square feet, 2 duplex penthouses from around 4,381 square feet with a private Sky Garden on the top two floors, 3 signature waterfront townhouses, 5 signature waterfront villas with 4 to 5 bedrooms, and a single mansion of around 10,000 square feet with its own swimming pool. Every unit is marketed with views across the marina.
Amenities
Planned wellness facilities go beyond a standard gym and pool, listings describe a salt cave, sauna, steam room, cold plunge pool and yoga studio, alongside a swimming pool with poolside cabanas, a dedicated children's pool, an outdoor dining lounge and cafe, a billiards room and virtual golf. Reported building-wide facilities also include a conference room, meeting room and a residents' cafe and breakfast bar, plus landscaped outdoor gardens.
Transportation & Access
Being in Dubai Marina, LIV Waterside has practical access to Sheikh Zayed Road within a short drive, connecting to Downtown Dubai, Dubai Marina Mall and the wider city. Dubai Marina is served by the Dubai Tram and by a Dubai Metro Red Line station in the area (currently named Sobha Realty station, previously Dubai Marina and then DAMAC Properties station under earlier naming-rights deals), giving residents a public transport option alongside private cars and taxis.
Rental & Price Trends
LIV Waterside is still under construction, so there is no resale or rental transaction history for the building itself yet, current listings are reservation-stage off-plan sales rather than a completed secondary market. Dubai Marina as a whole is one of Dubai's most established short-term and long-term rental markets, and once units are handed over, LIV Waterside will be able to draw on that area-wide demand. Owners weighing an off-plan purchase here against other Dubai Marina options can model potential scenarios with Royale Stays' Dubai property ROI calculator.
Airbnb / Short-Term Rental Income Potential
Short-term letting anywhere in Dubai, including a future LIV Waterside apartment, requires a valid DTCM holiday home permit. LIV Waterside is a standard freehold residential development from LIV Developers, not hotel-branded or serviced-apartment, so the permit is applied for directly once the unit is handed over, the same routing that applies at LIV Marina, LIV Residence and other Dubai Marina towers Royale Stays already covers.
Because LIV Waterside has not been delivered yet, there is no building-specific income data to report, no listings exist there today. Royale Stays already manages Airbnb properties across Dubai Marina, including at LIV Marina and LIV Residence, and covers furnishing, photography, dynamic pricing, guest communications, check-in and maintenance coordination for a management fee starting from 15%, with a single monthly statement covering revenue, fee, costs and net transfer. Owners who reserve a unit here now can submit their property ahead of handover to plan for short-term rental from day one, or explore Royale Stays' Airbnb management services in the meantime.
LIV Waterside has not been handed over as of this writing and has no independent rental or resale history. Income context reflects Royale Stays' own Dubai Marina portfolio, area-blended rather than exclusive to this tower, reviewed by Chris Veinbaums, DTCM-licensed operator.
