Three Port de La Mer phases compared

Phase	Brochure home types	Current editorial classification
La Voile	1–5 bedroom apartments in the brochure; detailed floor-plan book also includes larger layouts	Completed/ready and sold out from developer
La Sirène	1–4 bedroom apartments plus a 6-bedroom duplex in the supplied brochure	Completed/legacy phase; verify resale status
Le Soleil	1–4 bedroom apartments	Sold out from developer; resale research only

What Port de La Mer offers

Meraas designed Port de La Mer as a Mediterranean-inspired waterfront community in Jumeirah 1. Project materials describe beach access, a marina with more than 190 berths, yacht-club facilities, pools, landscaped pedestrian areas, cafés and retail. Amenity access can vary by building and owners’ association, so resale buyers should not assume every illustrated facility is exclusive or included.

La Voile

La Voile is a completed mid-rise residential phase. The supplied Building 1 floor-plan book contains a wide variety of one- and two-bedroom layouts and selected larger apartments. Because the document is a design/floor-plan reference rather than current inventory, it should be used to verify layouts—not current asking prices or availability.

La Sirène

The supplied brochure presents La Sirène as a sea-facing collection with one- to four-bedroom apartments and a six-bedroom duplex. Current market sources classify the phase as completed. Resale buyers should confirm the precise building, title deed area, parking allocation and whether the advertised sea or marina view remains unobstructed.

Le Soleil

Le Soleil was marketed as a final island-edge addition with one- to four-bedroom homes and open-sea or skyline views. Meraas’ current Port de La Mer phase page labels it sold out. The brochure remains useful for original layouts and area tables but should not be treated as a live price list.

How to evaluate a resale unit

1. Verify the exact phase, building and unit through the title deed and DLD records.
2. Compare the title-deed area with the brochure’s suite, balcony and total-area definitions.
3. Request the latest service-charge statement and owners’ association budget.
4. Inspect for defects, water ingress, façade condition, noise and view obstructions.
5. Check parking, beach and marina access rights in the sale documents.
6. Compare achieved DLD transactions—not only active listing prices.

Independent view

These brochures are valuable historical primary material, but the investment question is now building- and unit-specific. For completed waterfront property, condition, service charges, title area, exact outlook and recent registered transactions matter more than original launch messaging.

Frequently asked questions

Are these new launches?

No. They are older Port de La Mer phases and are covered as completed or sold-out project references.

Can units still be purchased?

Resale units may be listed by owners or brokers. Availability and prices must be checked against current listings and DLD evidence.

Are brochure areas final?

No. Brochures state that plans and areas are indicative; the title deed and sale agreement control.

Phase 11 at a glance

Developer	Meraas
Location	Nad Al Sheba Gardens, Nad Al Sheba 1
Total homes	210
Townhouses	110 three-bedroom homes
Villas	27 four-bedroom and 73 five-bedroom villas
Original starting price	Approximately AED 6.15m
Payment plan	20% booking, 60% construction, 20% handover
Expected completion	June 2029
Availability	Developer inventory reported sold out

Editorial status: Confirmed historical launch, now treated as a sold-out off-plan phase rather than a fresh developer launch.

Homes in the brochure

The supplied Phase 11 brochure contains 3-bedroom townhouses in four- and six-unit clusters, four-bedroom villas and five-bedroom villas. Current project listings show townhouse layouts around 3,252–3,291 sq ft, four-bedroom villas around 4,795 sq ft and five-bedroom villas around 5,650 sq ft. Verify whether quoted areas are internal, built-up or saleable.

Pricing: avoid mixing townhouse and villa headlines

The original approximately AED 6.15m entry point relates to the lowest-priced Phase 11 inventory, principally townhouses. Current sources showing roughly AED 14m for four-bedroom villas and AED 16m for five-bedroom villas describe different home types. Assignment-market prices may be above or below original price depending on payments made and seller urgency.

Payment plan

The published structure is 20% at booking, 60% across seven construction instalments and 20% at handover. A resale buyer must establish how much has already been paid to Meraas, what remains due, whether an NOC is available and which transfer or assignment fees apply.

Community proposition

The brochure positions Phase 11 within a gated, landscape-led family community with parks, walking and cycling routes, sports areas and water features. Facilities in a masterplan may be delivered in stages; confirm which amenities are complete, under construction or planned at the expected handover.

Buyer checks for assignment purchases

1. Obtain the original SPA, payment ledger and developer statement of account.
2. Verify the project and unit through DLD.
3. Confirm the Meraas assignment/NOC threshold and fees.
4. Separate original price, amount paid, seller premium and remaining developer balance.
5. Check the June 2029 completion terms and grace period.

Independent view

Phase 11 offers a relatively legible low-rise product mix within an established Meraas master community. Because the developer release is reported sold out, the primary risk is transaction clarity: resale listings should disclose original price, paid percentage, premium and remaining schedule rather than advertising only a headline asking price.

Frequently asked questions

Is Phase 11 still available from Meraas?

Current launch portals report developer inventory as sold out. Resale assignments may still be offered.

How many homes are in Phase 11?

Current project-brief data totals 210 homes.

When is handover?

June 2029 is the current published expectation.

Solaya at a glance

Developers	Meraas and BGRE
Location	Jumeirah 1 beachfront
Scale	234 residences across nine buildings
Homes	2–5 bedroom residences, penthouses, garden houses and duplexes
Starting price	Approximately AED 14.2m for earlier building releases; current inventory may start higher
Payment plan	20% booking, 40% during construction, 40% handover
Expected completion	June 2029 in current project listings
Construction	Groundbreaking confirmed 24 August 2026

Editorial status: Development and construction milestone confirmed by Meraas. This article distinguishes project-wide entry pricing from the supplied Buildings 5 and 7 floor plans, where remaining inventory may be materially more expensive.

What is included in the supplied floor-plan release?

The Buildings 5 and 7 book contains large two-, three-, four- and five-bedroom layouts. Examples show two-bedroom homes around 1,982–2,107 sq ft and three-bedroom layouts around 3,119–3,756 sq ft, with substantial terraces. Floor plans are indicative; exact net internal area and terrace area must be taken from the unit schedule and SPA.

Why published starting prices differ

Solaya has been released by building and unit type. The approximately AED 14.2m headline relates to earlier two-bedroom inventory in Buildings 1–3. A current Meraas-derived schedule for another release applies the 20/40/40 plan to a starting price above AED 40m. These figures are not contradictory if they describe different buildings and home types, but they should never be blended into one “current starting price.”

Design and amenity proposition

Meraas confirms Foster + Partners as architect and 1508 London for interiors. The project’s positioning centres on direct coastline access, large-format residences, wellness amenities and low-density landscaping. Buyers should verify private versus shared beach areas, operating rules, parking, lift access, furnishing and the service-charge budget.

Payment and construction

The reviewed plan is 20% on booking, four 10% construction instalments, and 40% on handover, plus the 4% DLD charge and registration fees. Groundworks began in 2026; Meraas said shoring, excavation, piling and dewatering were scheduled through September–November 2026.

Buyer checks

1. Identify the exact building and unit before comparing prices.
2. Verify the project through DLD.
3. Reconcile internal area, terrace area and total saleable area.
4. Request the service-charge estimate and management rules.
5. Confirm the June 2029 date, grace period and 40% completion payment in the SPA.

Independent view

Solaya is a verifiable, under-construction ultra-luxury project with strong design credentials. Its main analytical challenge is not legitimacy but inventory segmentation: building, view, terrace and typology create very wide price differences. Comparisons should therefore be made per square foot and per exact unit, not against a single project-wide headline.

Frequently asked questions

How many residences are planned?

Meraas states 234 homes across nine buildings.

What is the payment plan?

The reviewed plan is 20/40/40, with 40% due at handover.

When is completion?

Current project records indicate June 2029; verify the contractual date for the chosen building.
