About Marina Cove
Marina Cove is a 32-storey residential building under development in the Marsa Dubai sub-area of Dubai Marina, developed by Emaar Properties through its subsidiary Emaar Development. The project is reported to hold an estimated 226 units across a mix of one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments, with brochure copy built around expansive windows and open-plan living spaces.
At the time of its sales launch, units were priced from AED 2.03 million, sold under a 10/70/20 payment plan: 10% on booking, 70% across the construction period and 20% on handover. Handover is estimated for October 2029, though as with any pre-completion project this date can move, and Royale Stays has not independently confirmed it beyond the single source cited below.
Developer, storey count, unit mix, launch price, payment plan and estimated handover date are drawn from Propsearch.ae's dedicated Marina Cove building guide (updated 16 Aug 2026), the only detailed editorial source found for this project during this research pass. The building's existence, name and off-plan classification are independently corroborated by Bayut's own buildings database. The area and sub-area attribution (Dubai Marina, Marsa Dubai) is further corroborated by Dubai Land Department transaction records for units sold under the Marina Cove building name, surfaced on the same Propsearch.ae page, and by this building's developer/area attribution already on file in Royale Stays' own content queue prior to this research pass. The specific figures for storey count, total unit estimate, launch price, payment plan percentages, amenities and handover date remain single-sourced to Propsearch.ae and are stated here as reported rather than independently verified.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
Marina Cove sits in the Marsa Dubai sub-area of Dubai Marina. Per Propsearch.ae, Dubai Marina Mall, with more than 130 retail outlets, is around a two-minute walk away. Owners comparing this address against the wider district can read Royale Stays' guide to Airbnb management across Dubai Marina for the fuller picture.
Marsa Dubai is the same Dubai Marina sub-area that holds Royale Stays' West Avenue Tower guide, a 32-storey tower completed in 2014, a useful reference point for what an established Marina tower in this stretch of the community looks like once delivered. Other Dubai Marina buildings Royale Stays has covered separately include Dorra Bay and Bay Central, both elsewhere within the wider Dubai Marina community. Marina Cove’s own precise plot address was not published in the sources checked for this guide, so no exact walking distance is claimed for any of these three buildings.
Unit Types
Marina Cove is reported to hold a mix of one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments across an estimated 226 units, per Propsearch.ae. Real Dubai Land Department sale transactions recorded under the Marina Cove building name between mid-2025 and August 2026 independently confirm active one, two and three-bedroom sales specifically: one-bedroom units of 798 to 968 sq ft sold for AED 2.07 million to AED 2.22 million, a two-bedroom unit of 1,404 sq ft sold for AED 3.14 million, and three-bedroom units of 1,991 to 2,006 sq ft sold for AED 4.59 million to AED 4.64 million, all at roughly AED 2,240 to AED 2,600 per square foot. These are real recorded sales rather than developer asking prices, though the four-bedroom layout is not directly evidenced in the sampled transactions and remains single-sourced to Propsearch.ae’s editorial unit-mix claim.
Amenities
Propsearch.ae’s building guide lists barbecue facilities, a children's play area, a children's swimming pool, a garden, a gym and a swimming pool as the planned amenities. This list comes from a single source and has not been independently cross-confirmed against a second portal or the developer's own brochure, so it is stated here as reported rather than fully verified.
Transportation & Access
Dubai Marina sits close to Sheikh Zayed Road (E11), giving the community direct access across the city. The Dubai Marina and DMCC Metro stations on the Red Line serve the wider district, alongside the Marina tram line running along Marina Walk toward JBR. Royale Stays has not confirmed an exact walking or drive distance from Marina Cove itself to either metro station, since the building's precise plot address was not published in the sources checked for this guide.
Rental & Price Trends
Dubai Land Department records show 50 recorded sale transactions for Marina Cove as of Propsearch.ae’s most recent update (16 Aug 2026), all logged as off-plan, pre-registration sales. Recent examples include a three-bedroom unit of 1,991 sq ft selling for AED 4.59 million in early August 2026 and a one-bedroom unit of 968 sq ft selling for AED 2.22 million in April 2026, both working out to roughly AED 2,300 per square foot. Royale Stays has not independently confirmed rents or service charges specific to Marina Cove, since no units have been handed over yet. Owners weighing a specific unit's future earning potential can run their own numbers through Royale Stays' Dubai property ROI calculator once unit pricing is confirmed closer to handover.
Airbnb / Short-Term Rental Income Potential
Marina Cove is still under development, with handover estimated for October 2029 and no units yet delivered, so this guide cannot honestly state a current income figure, occupancy rate or existing listing for this specific building. Short-term letting anywhere in Dubai Marina, including at Marina Cove once delivered, would run through the same DTCM (Department of Economy and Tourism) holiday home permit that applies to every freehold apartment in the emirate. Royale Stays' guide to the Dubai holiday home permit covers what the process and fees generally involve.
For context on what a delivered Dubai Marina apartment can earn once furnished and professionally managed, Royale Stays' own managed Dubai Marina portfolio currently blends AED 921 a night at 88% occupancy across the area. By unit type, a one-bedroom averages AED 600 a night for around AED 16,406 a month, a two-bedroom AED 755 a night for roughly AED 20,712 a month, a three-bedroom AED 1,092 a night for around AED 29,625 a month, and a four-bedroom AED 1,876 a night for around AED 51,147 a month. These are current, real figures from Royale Stays' existing Dubai Marina management book, not a projection specific to Marina Cove, since this building has no delivered units or rental history of its own yet; they are included only to give owners a sense of what the surrounding area supports once a unit is ready to let.
Owners planning to hold a Marina Cove unit for short-term letting once it hands over can register their interest early. Royale Stays manages the full furnishing, photography, pricing, check-in and guest communications process for Dubai Marina owners, and our guide to what separates a strong Airbnb management company from a weak one sets out what to look for when comparing operators ahead of handover. Owners can submit their property for a management review once their unit is closer to completion.
