How to read this

  • Permitted is not planned. A height limit is what a plot is allowed to become. Nothing has to be built, and what is built need not reach the limit.
  • Empty means no structure is recorded. Not that work is about to start, and not that the plot is for sale.
  • Counted by the register’s own district name, not by a rectangle drawn on a map. A box around a neighbourhood picks up its neighbours’ plots and produces confident, wrong numbers.

What Dubai Harbour is

A waterfront district built out from the shoreline between Bluewaters Island and Palm Jumeirah, with the region's largest marina, a cruise terminal and a run of residential towers along the water.

It is new, which is exactly why the register is worth reading before buying here: a district this early in its life changes shape around you.

How far along it really is

Of 120 registered plots, 34 are complete and 68 are empty, with 14 under construction and four in pre-construction. Thirty-two unfinished plots carry a height permission, the tallest at 70 storeys.

None of that is an argument against buying here. It is an argument for knowing which plot sits between your balcony and the water before you pay for the view.

Before you buy here

Ask us what is permitted on the plot next door.

For a specific building we will read the register around it — what stands there now, what is under construction, and what height the empty plots are permitted to reach. It takes us minutes and it is the question that decides whether a view is a feature or a temporary condition.

Straight answers.

How much of Dubai Harbour is built?
About a quarter of the plots. The Dubai Development Authority's register records 120 plots at Dubai Harbour, of which 34 are completed and 68 are empty, with 14 under construction and four in pre-construction. It is one of the least finished districts we track.
How tall can they build at Dubai Harbour?
The tallest permission on an unfinished plot is G+9P+60 — seventy levels in total — on a plot recorded as under construction. Thirty-two unfinished plots in the district carry a height permission of some kind. Permitted is not planned, but it is the ceiling.
Is Dubai Harbour a good place to buy?
The location is genuinely rare — a marina berth between Bluewaters and the Palm, with beach frontage. The trade is that you are buying into a district that is three-quarters unfinished, so construction will be your neighbour for years and your sightlines are not settled. Both of those are knowable in advance, which is the point.
What does property cost at Dubai Harbour?
We do not publish an area average, because we do not yet hold verified transaction data we would stand behind. For a specific scheme we will give you the developer's published entry price and show the arithmetic we did on it, which is what our project pages do.
Is Dubai Harbour the same as Dubai Marina?
No. They adjoin and are often conflated, but the register treats them separately — and Dubai Marina is not in this register at all. A map rectangle drawn around the Marina returns Dubai Harbour and Jumeirah Beach Residence plots, which is precisely how confident, wrong claims about the Marina get published.
