Sustainability engineered at scale
Rashid Yachts & Marina is designed to meet Dubai’s sustainability mandates through infrastructure-first planning.

The result is a community that not only looks forward, but functions responsibly.

The future is already taking shape
Infrastructure delivery is underway, and demand from regional and global buyers continues to grow, not because of hype, but because of visibility, access, and specificity.

For investors, the case is clear. For residents, the lifestyle is immediate. And for Dubai, it is a waterfront destination not just inspired by the city’s past but designed to define its future.
