Dubai Harbour Residences is a three-building low-rise beachfront development in Dubai Harbour, owned and curated by Shamal Holding, with H&H Development as development partner and Nikken Sekkei as design architect. [1] [2] Official H&H copy places it on a private beach beside the marina. The official aerial still used here is CGI: two long glass bars between the yacht basin and the sand, Palm Jumeirah in the distance — not a photograph of a finished street. [1]
Buying off-plan means purchasing before completion. Construction is already underway. The sale contract still sets the price, the instalments and the completion date. Official press counts 345 homes across eight floors. [4] Dubai Harbour Residences is the overall three-building project; Area 3 on Property Finder corresponds to Building C within it — a Land Department building name, not a second community. [7] [12] Portals disagree on the from-price and the cash split. This page is independent research for buyers — not H&H or Shamal sales copy. How we work: Method.

Who it’s for
People comparing this low-rise beachfront mix who will still review the sales documents. Current official marketing is 2–3 bedroom homes and penthouses from the advertised AED 7.1 million start; 1-beds belong to the original mix and older portal tables. Check printed price, building name, instalments and the completion clause. [3] [7]
Who it’s not for
Buyers who need a completed home this year, or who actually want Emaar Beachfront, DAMAC Bay, W Residences, The Dubai Beach EDITION or a Palm villa rather than this Shamal / H&H stack. Anyone who needs a 1-bed from current official marketing will not find it on the 6 September 2026 sales landing. [3]
Snapshot
- Name on the render — Dubai Harbour Residences, the overall three-building project. Property Finder also headings Dubai Harbour Residences Area 3, which corresponds to Building C (high) [1] [7]
- Brands on marketing — H&H Development as development partner / developer at h-h.ae. Shamal Holding as owner of Dubai Harbour and of this residences line. Propsearch files Shamal Holding. The contracting seller is whoever is already printed on the reservation (high) [1] [2] [11]
- Address — Dubai Harbour, between the marina and a private beach, between Palm Jumeirah and Bluewaters Island. DLD area Marsa Dubai (high) [2] [11]
- Picture — official CGI aerial of two long low-rise glass bars, yacht basin on one side, a curved beach on the other. Official and Property Finder count three buildings (high) [1] [8]
- Homes — official 345 apartments and penthouses, originally 1–4 bedrooms, eight floors, three buildings. Area 3 on Property Finder is listed as one building (high on official count / med on the one-building listing) [4] [7]
- Money — official living page silent. Official advertised starting price on the sales landing captured 6 September 2026: AED 7.1 million for a 2–3 bedroom + penthouse mix. Older Area 3 marketing: AED 3.9 million against a 1-bed. Project-wide Property Finder listing: 2-bed from 7.1 million, 3-bed from 8.5 million; 4-bed from 22 million is portal-only and sits beside a Projects Scout ceiling of 21.743 million (med on 7.1 million / low on 22 million) [3] [7] [8] [10]
- Keys language — official H&H Completed 2028. Portals January / Q1 2028 / 14 January 2028. Propsearch January 2028 (med — year matches; quarter is portal) [1] [8] [11]
- Cash split — official silent. Project-wide Property Finder listing: 40% at launch / 60% during construction. Projects Scout: 40 / 60. Area 3 Property Finder: 5 / 55 / 40. Add the printed steps (low) [8] [10] [7]
- Height — official eight floors; project-wide Property Finder listing three buildings A / B / C; Area 3 card one building (high) [4] [8]
- Title language — Property Finder prints Freehold. H&H’s living page is silent. The ownership line on the issued sale contract is the one that counts (med) [7]
- Works — H&H start 2024. Portal start 8 February 2025. June 2025: foundations complete and beachfront formed; Khansaheb main-works contract valued at over AED 1 billion. Building C topped out July 2026. Project-wide Property Finder listing Sold out 26 February 2026; Area 3 card still Off-plan; official site still takes interest. Marketing does not establish which units remain. Not a walkaround (high on works press / med on the sold-out stamp) [5] [12] [8]
Buildings and apartment mix
Official materials describe three low-rise buildings of about eight storeys on a private beach beside the marina. [4] [8] The H&H aerial on this page is CGI of two long glass bars on that beach, with a second still looking through a perforated white canopy to the water. [1]
Shamal’s 11 September 2024 note and the June 2024 factsheet count 345 homes — one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments, plus penthouses. [4] [6] Propsearch says about 350. Named Property Finder lists Buildings A, B and C. [8] [11]
Dubai Harbour Residences is the overall three-building project; Area 3 corresponds to Building C within it. Land Department sale rows print Dubai Harbour Residences (Area 3) beside Area 1-A and Area 1-B. H&H’s July 2026 topping-out names Building C. Official amenity stills are labelled Area 3 / Bldg C. [7] [12] [11] Choose the building and unit first, then check the booking form and sale contract already name that building.
One-bedroom homes sit in the original 345-home mix and on older portal tables at 1,055 sq ft. [4] [7] The official sales landing captured 6 September 2026 no longer lists 1-beds. It advertises a 2–3 bedroom and penthouse mix sized 2,036–8,018 sq ft. [3] The project-wide Property Finder table still prints 2-beds 2,120–2,175, 3-beds 2,638–4,004, 4-beds 4,532–5,220. [8] The 8,224 sq ft penthouse figure is on the older Area 3 Property Finder table and on Projects Scout; keep it distinct from the official landing’s 8,018 sq ft upper size. [7] [10] Ask which figure is saleable on the unit sheet in your hand.
Amenity copy is generous: rooftop adult pool, gym, yoga, spa, kids’ pool and play, concierge, valet, private beach, marina access. [4] Until the exhibits for your unit list them, they stay marketing.
Emaar Beachfront, DAMAC Bay, W Residences, The Dubai Beach EDITION and Sobha Seahaven are separate neighbouring projects. [11] Peninsula Dubai Residences Tower 2, Rosewood Residences Dubai and Four Seasons Private Residences at DIFC are other H&H lines, not this beach. Keep each set of sales documents separate.
Handover targets and payment terms
H&H stamps the development Started 2024 and Completed 2028. [1] The living page does not print a quarter. Property Finder answers January 2028, Q1 2028 and 14 January 2028. [8] [7] Projects Scout repeats 14 January 2028. [10] Propsearch writes January 2028. [11] Whatever completion date and delay language is printed in the sale contract is what actually binds.
Works are further along than a brochure launch. Shamal’s 25 June 2025 note says foundations were complete and the beachfront formed; Khansaheb’s main-works contract is valued at over AED 1 billion. [5] H&H marked Building C’s concrete structure complete on 22 July 2026; Propsearch expects A and B to top out over the following quarter. [12] [11] Property Finder’s start stamp is 8 February 2025 — after H&H’s 2024 start year. That is not a walkaround of the plot.
Official pages print no instalment split. [2] [3] The project-wide Property Finder listing: 40% at launch, 60% during construction, nothing left at keys. [8] Projects Scout prints the same 40 / 60 split without those launch-versus-works labels. [10] The older Area 3 Property Finder and Scout cards: 5% down, 55% during works, 40% at handover. [7] [9] Those are different calendars. Tally every percentage on the form you are given. Walk away if the steps do not total one hundred.
The project-wide Property Finder listing stamps Sold out 26 February 2026. [8] The Area 3 card is still Off-plan. The official site still takes interest. A sold-out stamp is marketing. Ask which units are actually on the form.
Developer and location
Public brands: H&H Development as development partner on h-h.ae, and Shamal Holding as owner of the district and of this residences line. Product URL dubaiharbourresidences.com. [1] [2] Propsearch files Shamal Holding, with Nikken Sekkei as design architect and Khansaheb as main contractor. [11] Confirm the contracting company on the reservation.
Setting: Dubai Harbour, between Palm Jumeirah and Bluewaters Island — hub: Dubai Harbour. [2] [11] Shamal’s 2024 note says a new RTA bridge cuts the drive from Sheikh Zayed Road from about 12 minutes to about 3. That is brochure timing, not a stopwatch test. [4]
Cheval Blanc Maison is another Shamal product. Peninsula Dubai Residences Tower 2, Rosewood Residences Dubai and Four Seasons Private Residences at DIFC are other H&H lines, not this beach.
Source differences and buyer checks
- Names — Dubai Harbour Residences is the overall three-building project; Area 3 corresponds to Building C. Confirm the form uses the building you chose. [1] [7]
- Price — official advertised start captured 6 September 2026 is AED 7.1 million for 2–3 beds. Older Area 3 marketing still shows AED 3.9 million for a 1-bed. Ask for a dated quote that names the unit. [3] [7]
- Keys — H&H 2028; portals January / Q1 2028. Read the completion wording, including delay language. [1] [8]
- Instalments — project-wide Property Finder 40% at launch / 60% during construction versus Area 3 5 / 55 / 40. Confirm the issued steps. [8] [7]
- Mix — official 345 homes across three buildings. One-beds are in the original mix, not on the current official landing. [4] [3]
- Availability — Property Finder sold-out stamp 26 February 2026 does not prove which units remain. Ask. [8]
- Neighbours — Emaar Beachfront, DAMAC Bay, W Residences, EDITION and Seahaven are separate neighbouring projects. [11]
- Treat pool, gym, beach and concierge claims as marketing until the unit exhibits name them. [4]
What to check before a booking fee
- Confirm this project’s registration and escrow in Dubai Land Department tools before you pay a reservation. [13]
- Choose this Dubai Harbour Residences line — not a vague “Harbour” label. Then check the booking form and sale contract already name the product, building (Area 3 / Building C / A / B) and unit you picked. [1] [7]
- Match unit ID, bedroom count, saleable area and parking. Current official landing starts sizes at 2,036 sq ft for 2–3 beds. Older 1-bed marketing is 1,055 sq ft. Confirm which figure is saleable. [3] [7]
- Tally the printed instalments. Official pages show no split. Pause if the steps do not total one hundred. [8] [7]
- Read the completion wording, including delay language, against H&H’s 2028 year. [1] [8]
- Treat Freehold language as marketing. The ownership line on the issued sale contract is what counts. [7]
- Ask for a written yearly service-charge in AED per sq ft. This page has no verified figure.
- Keep the unit sheet, the printed payment calendar and the company name on the form before money leaves. See buyer diligence overview.
Bottom line
Dubai Harbour Residences is the overall three-building project; Area 3 corresponds to Building C within it, not a second community. Official copy names 345 homes and a 2028 completion year. The advertised 7.1 million start and the two portal payment calendars sit above. Independent research, not H&H or Shamal disclosure. [1] [7] Confirm this project’s DLD registration and escrow before any reservation fee.
FAQ
Who is named as developer and owner?
H&H Development is named as development partner / developer. Shamal Holding is named as owner of Dubai Harbour and of this residences line. Propsearch files Shamal Holding. Match the company already printed on the reservation. [1] [2] [11]
Is Area 3 a different project?
No — Property Finder’s Dubai Harbour Residences Area 3 card is a Land Department building name inside official Dubai Harbour Residences (Building C in H&H’s topping-out note). It is not Emaar Beachfront or DAMAC Bay. Pick the building you want, then check the form names it. [1] [7] [12]
Which district is it in?
Dubai Harbour, between Palm Jumeirah and Bluewaters Island, with a private beach next to the marina. Not Dubai Creek Harbour. [2] [11]
What from-price does the official site publish?
The living page prints none. The sales landing captured 6 September 2026 advertises a starting price of AED 7.1 million for 2–3 bedroom homes and penthouses. Older Area 3 marketing still shows AED 3.9 million against a 1-bed. Ask for a dated unit quote. [2] [3] [7]
What handover dates are advertised?
H&H prints Completed 2028. Portals print January / Q1 2028, sometimes 14 January 2028. Read the completion wording on the issued sale contract, including delay language. [1] [8]
How is the price split?
Official pages print none. The project-wide Property Finder listing shows 40% at launch and 60% during construction. The older Area 3 listing shows 5% down, 55% during works and 40% at handover. Neither is established as official. Confirm every percentage on the issued calendar. [8] [7]
