Riverside Views - Marine 2

Two connected towers rising fourteen levels above the podium

Marine 2 shares its footprint with Marine 1: two linked blocks, each built over a ground floor, a three-level podium and fourteen residential floors. This is the tallest format in DAMAC Riverside's apartment lineup, well above the eight storeys of Marine 3 and Marine 4. The developer keeps the offering to one and two-bedroom layouts only, with no studios and no larger units. The community sits in Dubai Investment Park 2, 12 minutes from Al Maktoum International Airport. Handover is set for 31 March 2029, on a freehold basis.

A stepped silhouette facing the waterfront

The volumes of Marine 2 shift in a staggered pattern, which breaks up the mass of the two towers and opens up terraces at each setback. Deep balconies extend the living rooms outward and frame views over the water. The facade plays on clean lines and glazed panels that run the full width of the units. Inside, DAMAC sticks to a light palette and understated finishes, built for function rather than show. The architectural approach aims for continuity between the buildings and the water landscape that runs through the whole Riverside community.

A hydroponic farm at the heart of the concept

DAMAC Riverside runs on one guiding idea: food and health. The community houses a hydroponic farm whose harvests feed outdoor cooking classes and live cooking stations run by chefs. Marine 2 residents also get access to shared barbecue areas and a Portofino-style restaurant set right on the water. This wellness angle sets Riverside apart from more conventional DAMAC communities such as Lagoons or Hills. The logic is straightforward: eating on site means eating well, with ingredients grown right in the neighbourhood.

Zen spa, rest rooms and a waterfall climbing wall

The leisure offering blends relaxation with sport. The Zen spa combines treatments with a soak in an essential-oil lake, alongside peace rooms designed to restore sleep and give residents a space to be alone. On the active side, the community features a water-splashed climbing wall, calisthenics stations and sports courts set over the water. Families get the Kidz Adventure Land and Malibu Cove, a man-made beach for swimming and sunbathing. A floating cinema and an amphitheatre round out the cultural and social offering.

A product built for couples and young professionals

The one and two-bedroom mix points Marine 2 toward a specific buyer. Riverside's large four and five-bedroom villas target families, but these apartments are aimed more at couples, young professionals and investors after rental-friendly units that are easy to let. The fourteen floors guarantee open views on the upper levels, a real selling point compared with the lower blocks in the same community. Proximity to Al Maktoum International Airport, set to become Dubai's main airport, will weigh on rental demand over the medium term. Marine 2 reads as a bet on the rise of Dubai's southern corridor.

2029 handover, riding the wave of the giant airport

The handover date, March 2029, places Marine 2 on a long horizon. That timeline lines up with Al Maktoum's expansion plans, which are set to reshape Dubai Investment Park 2 and its surroundings. The area is still under construction today, with Expo City 10 minutes away and Global Village 16 minutes away. Buying here means betting on a district that is still filling in, rather than an address that has already matured. DAMAC Properties, which has handed over tens of thousands of units across the emirate, knows this kind of large-scale peripheral development well.
