Pier Point 1

About the project

Pier Point 1 is a 122-apartment residential development by Emaar Properties in Rashid Yachts & Marina. The single-building project is active, with a recorded completion ratio of 8.27% at the latest inspection on 14 May 2026. Completion is scheduled for 31 October 2028.

A single residential building

Pier Point 1 is planned as one residential building comprising a ground floor, one podium level, nine residential floors and a roof. The development contains 122 apartments across the building. Its site forms part of Rashid Yachts & Marina, the waterfront redevelopment of the Mina Rashid precinct near Dubai Creek. The district combines residential buildings with marina, hospitality, leisure, retail and dining components arranged around waterfront promenades and public spaces. Port Rashid’s maritime setting remains central to the area, with the QE2 hotel and exhibition venue retained as a landmark within the precinct.

Rashid Yachts & Marina waterfront setting

Rashid Yachts & Marina sits on Dubai Creek near Bur Dubai and Deira, with views across the Arabian Gulf and towards the Downtown Dubai skyline. The wider waterfront masterplan includes mid-rise residences, townhouses, hospitality components, promenades and piazzas. A new waterfront promenade and a long swimmable canal form part of the district’s public realm. The neighbourhood also incorporates marina berths, a sandy beach, hotels, retail, dining and leisure venues. Cultural links in the precinct include the House of Sheikh Saeed Al Maktoum and associated museum and theatre, connected through a pedestrian bridge.

Marina, beach and public leisure infrastructure

The marina at Rashid Yachts & Marina has more than 430 wet berths and can accommodate yachts up to 100 metres in length. Berthing arrangements include short-stay, seasonal and annual options. The district also includes a 500-metre palm-fringed swimmable canal and a 12,600-square-metre sandy beach. A floating yacht club, a private beach club, hotels and public promenades are among the leisure and hospitality elements within the precinct. Port Rashid’s Hamdan bin Mohammed Cruise Terminal provides berth-side services for visiting yachts and cruise ships. The QE2 serves as a permanently docked hotel and exhibition venue within the waterfront area.

Retail, dining and cultural elements

Rashid Yachts & Marina is planned as a mixed-use waterfront destination, bringing together residential, hospitality, marina and leisure uses. Its retail, dining and leisure component has been referenced as The Dubai Mall by the Sea. Public promenades, parkland, art and cultural venues are included in the broader waterfront environment, alongside interconnected public spaces. The district’s maritime heritage is reflected in its setting at Port Rashid, its marina infrastructure and the presence of the QE2. The masterplan combines these existing maritime elements with newer residential blocks and waterfront leisure facilities.

Access to central Dubai

The nearest Dubai Metro Green Line station is G24, located 661 metres from the site. Typical driving times from the marina area are 16 minutes to Dubai Mall, 28 minutes to Palm Jumeirah, 26 minutes to Burj Al Arab and 32 minutes to The Walk at JBR. Dubai International Airport is reached in 17 minutes by car, while Al Maktoum International Airport is 53 minutes away by car. The location places Pier Point 1 within the Dubai Creek waterfront area, close to Bur Dubai and Deira and within reach of the city’s central districts.

Construction progress and scheduled completion

Pier Point 1 commenced on 22 February 2025. The project is recorded as active, and its completion ratio was 8.27% at the inspection dated 14 May 2026. The scheduled completion date is 31 October 2028. The development’s recorded total area is 12,894.42 square metres. These project details relate to a single building with 122 apartments, rather than a multi-building release. Buyers considering the project can therefore assess it as a defined residential building within the larger Rashid Yachts & Marina district.

Developer

Pier Point 1 is developed by Emaar Properties. The project is located within Rashid Yachts & Marina, the reimagined Mina Rashid waterfront precinct. The wider redevelopment brings together marina facilities, waterfront residences, hospitality venues, public promenades, beach and canal infrastructure, and retail and dining uses. Emaar Properties is the developer name associated with Pier Point 1, while the district’s marina and waterfront setting provides the project’s immediate context.
