Data from the Dubai Land Department project registry.
Dubai Land Department records for this building: closed transaction prices, not asking prices or estimates. Figures are medians, so a single expensive sale does not move them.
The yearly figure compares the last 12 months with the 12 before them: calendar years would not work, the current one is unfinished. The district moved +2% over the same period, so the building lagged.
| Type | Size, m² | Price, AED | Per m² | Deals |

From 2022 to 2025 — +13% on the price per square metre in this building. The district moved +33% over the same period, so the building lagged the market.

The Cove is a residential development by Emaar Properties on Creek Island within Dubai Creek Harbour. The development comprises apartments, duplexes and townhouses, with homes positioned in quayside buildings extending towards the water. Residences have views towards Dubai Creek, the Burj Khalifa, the Dubai skyline or the boulevard, depending on their position.
The Cove is positioned on Creek Island, a waterfront district in Dubai Creek Harbour. Its residential buildings extend towards the water and sit close to the district’s marina, central park and waterfront promenades. The setting combines Dubai Creek views with outlooks towards the Burj Khalifa and Dubai skyline, while other residences look across the boulevard. Floor-to-ceiling windows are a stated feature of the homes. Creek Island forms part of Dubai Creek Harbour, which includes residential space, parks and open spaces, alongside retail, business, recreation and community facilities. The district is served by an integrated transport system, including four metro stations, an efficient road and bus network, three bridges connecting Dubai Creek Harbour, a convenient interchange and water taxis to Downtown Dubai.
The Cove offers a range of home formats rather than a single apartment-only collection. The apartment selection includes one-bedroom, two-bedroom and three-bedroom residences. Buyers seeking a multi-level layout can choose between two-bedroom and three-bedroom duplexes. The townhouse range includes two-bedroom, three-bedroom and four-bedroom homes. The residences are described as being within residential towers, with floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the surrounding creek, skyline and boulevard settings. This mix gives the project a choice of layouts spanning one to four bedrooms, with apartments, duplexes and townhouses all included within the development. Homes are located in the quayside buildings at The Cove on Creek Island.
The Cove includes an adult swimming pool and a separate children’s swimming pool, along with a playground, a BBQ area, an outdoor movie theatre and a fitness centre. Outdoor space within the development includes pocket parks and a pet-friendly park. The surrounding Creek Island setting adds further recreational facilities through Central Park, which has a splash pad, fitness plaza, lawn, amphitheatre, skating areas, a kids’ play area and a dog park. Creek Marina features a yacht club marina with 81 berths, a sculptural viewing deck, art installations and food trucks. The development is also close to waterfront promenades, giving residents access to pedestrian areas beside Dubai Creek.
