Where Fior 1 sits
Rashid Yachts & Marina is Emaar's waterfront district at Mina Rashid, close to the old heart of Dubai. Emaar places Fior 1 on the marina, with views over the water towards the Downtown Dubai skyline, and lists the QE2, Downtown Dubai, Dubai Mall and Dubai International Airport among nearby landmarks. According to Emaar's brochure, typical drive times are:
- About 15 minutes to Al Shindagha Heritage District
- About 20 minutes to Dubai International Airport
- About 25 minutes to Downtown Dubai
- About 30 minutes to Dubai Marina
The wider community is planned around a superyacht marina for vessels up to 100 metres, a marina promenade with shops and restaurants, landscaped district parks and a floating yacht club, with the Queen Elizabeth 2 permanently berthed as a floating hotel.
The apartments
Fior 1 offers one, two and three-bedroom apartments. Emaar describes the interiors as neutral and calm, with large windows that open the homes to marina and skyline views. The sizes below are taken from Emaar's official Fior 1 floor plans and include balconies.
| Type | Number of units | Total area (sq ft) | Balcony |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 bedroom | 81 | About 760 to 907 | About 71 to 143 sq ft |
| 2 bedroom | 77 | About 1,141 to 1,440 | About 116 to 306 sq ft |
| 3 bedroom | 23 | About 1,592 to 2,973 | About 218 to 1,466 sq ft |
The largest three-bedroom layouts come with very large terraces, which makes them some of the most distinctive homes in the building. Only a handful of these exist, so availability is limited.

Prices: what buyers are paying
Emaar's official Fior 1 page lists a starting price of AED 2.2 million. That is in line with the entry price of about AED 2.21 million quoted by several brokers since the launch.
DLD records give a clearer picture of real prices, because they show completed registrations rather than asking prices. According to DLD transaction data published by two independent data sites:
- Around 60 sales have been registered at Fior 1 since April 2026.
- Recent one-bedroom apartments of about 760 to 775 sq ft were registered at roughly AED 2.18 million to AED 2.30 million.
- The median price across recent sales is just under AED 3,000 per sq ft.
We have not published starting prices for the two and three-bedroom apartments. The figures quoted by brokers differ widely, because prices depend heavily on floor, view and terrace size, and the remaining units change week to week. Ask for Emaar's current price list and availability before you decide.
Payment plan
Brokers selling Fior 1 consistently quote a 10/70/20 plan:
| Stage | Payment |
|---|---|
| On booking | 10% |
| During construction | 70% (in instalments) |
| On handover | 20% |
On top of the price, budget for the DLD registration fee of 4% of the purchase price, plus standard admin fees. Because 80% is paid before handover, this plan suits buyers with steady cash flow more than those relying on a large mortgage at completion.
Escrow and registration
Fior 1 is registered with the DLD as project number 4287, with Mina Rashid Properties L.L.C as the developer entity and Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank as the escrow bank. Under Dubai law, off-plan payments go into the project's escrow account and are released to the developer as construction progresses. Always check the escrow details on the DLD's Dubai REST app before transferring any money.
Who Fior 1 suits
- Buyers who want a marina address near the city centre: Mina Rashid is one of the closest waterfront districts to Downtown Dubai, DIFC and the airport.
- End users planning ahead: with completion on file for July 2030, Fior 1 suits buyers who can wait and want to pay in stages.
- Golden Visa applicants: at about AED 2.2 million and up, Fior 1 apartments are above the AED 2 million property value used for the UAE's 10-year Golden Visa. For off-plan homes, eligibility can depend on the amount paid, so check the latest rules. Our UAE investor visa update explains the current options.
Things to weigh up
- Long timeline: completion is almost four years away. The DLD record shows a registered construction start of June 2026.
- Price per square foot: at close to AED 3,000 per sq ft, Fior 1 is priced as a premium waterfront product, not a bargain.
- Limited stock: with only 181 apartments and just 23 three-bedroom homes, the best views and layouts tend to go first.
