Treat this as a research shortlist. Dated unit papers still outrank every brochure line.

Aurea is a marinafront 1–3 bedroom apartment building inside Rashid Yachts & Marina — not a villa cluster. ^[1] Property Finder records one building and publishes layout tables that dual-lock closely with Bayut’s size bands. ^{[2] [3]}

Public price and size cues (not sale-contract quotes):

• Headline open — AED 2,310,888 on Emaar; Property Finder rounds the same open to 2.3M / 2,310,888 ^{[1] [2]}
• 1BR — roughly 798–988 sqft on PF layouts; Emaar “area from” 799 sqft ^{[2] [1]}
• 2BR — PF from about AED 3.3M; roughly 1,228–1,426 sqft ^[2]
• 3BR — PF from about AED 4.9M; roughly 1,698–2,483 sqft on layout tables ^[2]

Propsearch estimates about 172 homes (plus retail units on that guide). Emaar’s page shows an Available Units: 11 chip at capture — a live available-units figure, not a locked total inventory. ^{[4] [1]} Floor count appears only on Propsearch (15 storeys). ^[4]

Marketing amenity lists (pool, gym, kids’ play, multipurpose rooms, podium gardens) sit alongside masterplan marina language on community pages. Confirm in the sale-contract exhibits which facilities attach to this building. ^{[1] [5]}

Completion marketing: Property Finder, Bayut and Propsearch all aim at Q2 / June 2030 (PF expected-completion stamp 30 June 2030). ^{[2] [3] [4]} Treat that as a moving estimate — read the sale-contract handover clause before you plan around a calendar.

Public instalment frame (10/70/20): ^{[2] [3] [4]}

• 10% at sales launch / booking ^[2]
• 70% while the building is under construction (Property Finder Option 2 splits this into 7 instalments) ^[2]
• 20% when keys are handed over ^[2]

That is a classic pre-handover-heavy plan compared with schemes that leave a larger keys-day balance. Rebuild every date and percentage from the printed instalment table for your unit — portal badges are research filters only. ^[2]

PF marks expected booking 31 March 2026 and construction start 1 April 2026. Those are programme stamps, not a progress certificate. ^[2]

Developer hub: Emaar. A large brand still needs project-level escrow, variation and service-charge checks for Aurea specifically. ^[1]

Area hub: Rashid Yachts & Marina at Mina Rashid / Port Rashid — the waterfront masterplan named on Emaar’s Aurea product page. ^{[1] [5]} Brochure drive-time claims are not verified here.

Sibling caution: keep Aurea separate from Fior 2, Sera 1 and other Rashid Yachts towers. Same marina, different products. Pick Aurea only if that is the home you want — then confirm the booking form and sale contract already print that name.

1. Keys are still a target — Q2 / June 2030 marketing is not a guaranteed calendar. ^{[2] [3]}
2. Price band, not a quote — AED 2.31M is an open filter; 2BR/3BR ladder figures are portal marketing only. ^{[1] [2]}
3. Unit count is soft — Propsearch ~172 is a single guide; Emaar’s 11 figure is a live available-units chip at capture, not a locked total. ^{[4] [1]}
4. Floor count not dual-locked — Propsearch 15 storeys only. ^[4]
5. Marina access vs unit rights — masterplan marina language is not the same as title rights for your apartment. ^[5]
6. Sibling mix-ups — Fior 2, Sera 1 and other RYM towers can appear in the same sales conversation.
7. Amenity promises — pool, gym and kids’ zones bind only when exhibits attach them. ^[1]
8. Sales channel path — developer primary, broker allocation and secondary resale each leave a different document trail.

1. Confirm Dubai Land Department registration and escrow for Aurea before any booking sum moves.
2. On Emaar paperwork, check product name, unit ID, bedroom count, measured net area and parking already match the home you chose. You read fixed forms — you do not rewrite them. ^[1]
3. Rebuild cash dates from the printed instalment sheet; the public 10/70/20 badge is only a filter. ^[2]
4. Line-read the sale-contract handover clause against marketed Q2 / June 2030. ^[2]
5. Get floor plans and net saleable area for the exact 1BR / 2BR / 3BR type. ^[2]
6. Confirm freehold wording inside the sale contract rather than relying on the portal ownership badge alone. ^[2]
7. Request a written service-charge note and which amenities sit in this building’s common parts. ^[1]
8. Do not put Aurea, Fior 2 and Sera 1 on one confused shortlist line.
9. For Dubai-wide off-plan steps, use the due diligence checklist.
