About The Residence at Marina Gate 2
The Residence at Marina Gate 2, officially The Residences at Marina Gate II, is a 64-storey freehold residential tower on Al Khayay Street in Dubai Marina, completed in 2019 by Select Group. Most sources, including Select Group's own page and Bayut, put the tower at 64 storeys, though Skyscrapercenter's database states 66, so both figures are noted here rather than picking one arbitrarily. Marina Gate 2 is the second of three towers in the wider Marina Gate complex, alongside Residences at Marina Gate Tower 1 and the Jumeirah-branded Jumeirah Living Marina Gate, and was designed by architect Aedas.
The tower holds 535 residential units across one, two and three-bedroom apartments, plus penthouses with pool and terrace access. One-bedroom units run roughly 735 to 838 sq ft, two-bedroom units around 1,255 sq ft with a marina-facing balcony, and three-bedroom units span 1,600 to 1,900 sq ft. Ownership is freehold. Marina Gate 2 is not the same building as Jumeirah Living Marina Gate, the complex's third tower and a Jumeirah-operated branded residence with its own hotel-style serviced apartments. Marina Gate 2 is a straightforward residential freehold tower with no hotel component.
