A single-building marina residence

Aurea is planned as one residential building with a ground floor, podium and 13 upper floors. The development contains 169 residential units, alongside three retail units on the ground floor, for a total of 172 units. Its setting is within Rashid Yachts & Marina, on the shores of the Arabian Gulf. The building is designed with sleek lines, refined proportions, glass façades and spacious terraces. Residences are described as having open layouts, floor-to-ceiling windows, premium finishes and bespoke interior details. Marina and city views form part of the residential outlook, with the marina, Downtown Dubai skyline and green parks referenced from the surrounding waterfront setting.

Residence design and outlook

The residential design places floor-to-ceiling windows and spacious terraces at the centre of the homes’ connection to the waterfront. Glass façades are intended to bring natural light into the residences while opening views towards the marina. Open layouts are paired with premium finishes and bespoke details, with interior design focused on modern comfort, natural light and the flow between spaces. The setting places Aurea near the Marina Promenade, where waterfront paths, boutique shops, cafés, restaurants and leisure venues form part of the wider marina environment. The project is located within a precinct that combines residential, retail, dining and leisure uses around the waterfront.

Pools, fitness and shared spaces

Aurea’s listed resident amenities include an infinity-edge pool, gymnasiums, a paddle court, kids’ play areas and multipurpose rooms. Outdoor facilities include a lawn area, BBQ areas and a yoga area. The wider Rashid Yachts & Marina setting includes the Marina Promenade, Canal Pool, Water Garden, community facilities, a school and a mosque. Parks and open green spaces are also included within the marina setting. The Marina Promenade brings together retail boutiques, gourmet dining and leisure venues along the waterfront. These facilities place fitness, recreation, dining and retail within the same marina destination as the residential building.
