Riverside Views - Marine 3

A single eight-storey building within DAMAC's waterfront community

Riverside Views Marine 3 consists of one building only. The structure adds a ground floor, a two-level podium and eight residential floors, a compact scale that stands apart from the 40 and 50-storey towers DAMAC has stacked up elsewhere in Dubai. The developer offers only one and two-bedroom apartments here, with no studios or penthouses. The building sits within DAMAC Riverside, a project built around waterways and hydroponic farms in Dubai Investment Park 2. Handover is set for March 31, 2029. The title is freehold, open to foreign buyers.

Dubai Investment Park 2, 12 minutes from Al Maktoum

The address bets on the southern airport rather than the historic city centre. Al Maktoum International Airport is 12 minutes away, an advantage that carries more weight as DWC scales up and pursues its goal of becoming the emirate's main aviation hub. The Expo 2020 site is 10 minutes away, Trump International Golf Club 15 minutes, Global Village 16 minutes and Dubai Outlet Mall 19 minutes. Major roads run along the area: Emirates Road, Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road and Expo Road all serve the district. This is far from Downtown, but it sits close to the logistics and residential hubs growing across the south of Dubai.

A hydroponic farm at the foot of the buildings

DAMAC Riverside sells a lifestyle built around food and wellness. The community houses a hydroponic farm whose harvests supply outdoor cooking classes, with chefs running live cooking stations. Barbecue areas extend that idea of shared outdoor meals. Alongside this, a Zen spa, so-called peace rooms designed to restore sleep, and an essential oils lake round out the wellness offering. It's a fairly specific direction, different from the usual pool, gym and marble lobby combination.

A floating cinema, an opera on the water and an aquatic climbing wall

The water-focused approach carries through into the leisure offering. The community includes a floating cinema for evening screenings, a floating stage equipped for opera and musical performances, and a dedicated pontoon for waterside marriage proposals. On the sports side, a splashing climbing wall and courts set over the water depart from standard facilities, along with open-access calisthenics stations. Malibu Cove adds a beach area for swimming and relaxing within the community. Families get a Kidz Adventure Land, a dedicated activity hub for children. The amphitheatre and games zone cover the neighbourhood's social life.

Bright interiors for one and two-bedroom homes

The building holds to a single line: clean facades, generous terraces and a strong exterior geometry. Inside, DAMAC leans on a bright palette, understated accents and layouts built for everyday living rather than for show. The decision to build only one and two-bedroom units targets a specific buyer: young professionals, first-time buyers and couples working near DWC or Expo City. The entry price stays more accessible than in the waterfront towers. For a buy-to-let investor, proximity to the airport and to the job hubs of the south is the main selling point.

DAMAC Riverside, a bet on the south of Dubai

DAMAC Properties is building a full community here rather than a standalone building. Riverside Views forms the apartment component of the project, alongside the 4 and 5-bedroom townhouses offered elsewhere within DAMAC Riverside. The developer calls it Dubai's first riverside community, built around canals and freshwater waterways. Marine 3 is one of several blocks that make up the development, each handed over in phases through the end of the decade. Buying here means betting on the upgrade of an area still under construction, backed by the growth of Al Maktoum and Dubai South.
