Masterplan, buildings and public realm

The Marasi Business Bay masterplan features a 12-kilometre waterfront promenade and three themed areas: The Yacht Club, The Park and The Pier. Dubai Properties is the developer.

Key elements of the scheme include:

  • The Yacht Club — five marinas planned to provide about 1,250 berths, alongside a palm-lined quay, residences with direct boat access, and floating hospitality venues.
  • Water homes — promoted as the UAE’s first water homes, these floating units were developed with Finnish specialist Admares. The collection included a limited number of water homes, restaurants and a yacht club. Units were fabricated in Finland and transported to Dubai, with initial deliveries in 2017. A Seaflex mooring system was designed to accommodate tidal movement.
  • The Park — 16 parks covering almost 60,000 square metres, with water features, children’s play areas, an amphitheatre, an outdoor cinema and weekly markets.
  • Retail and dining — more than 100 onshore boutiques and approximately 16,000 square metres of retail space, complemented by floating restaurants and cafes.

The masterplan was announced in 2016, with the marina and park planned for phased delivery ahead of wider elements.
