Mar Casa: Handover Date & Completion Status

What is being built

Mar Casa is a 52-storey residential tower and Deyaar's first project in Dubai Maritime City. The unit mix runs from studio and one-bedroom apartments through to duplexes, so-called "royal" units and three- to four-bedroom penthouses, with sizes reported from roughly 380 sq ft up to more than 4,000 sq ft for the largest penthouses. Apartments are marketed with floor-to-ceiling windows and waterfront outlooks, and the developer describes the design as nature-inspired rather than as a themed architectural statement.

Amenities disclosed by the developer and building listings include a rooftop infinity pool, a children's pool and play area, a gymnasium and yoga space, padel courts, lounges, a barbecue terrace, an organic grocery and landscaped gardens.

Dubai Maritime City in practice

The district sits on a man-made peninsula roughly 10km from Downtown Dubai and about 14km from Dubai International Airport, reached via Sheikh Rashid Road onto Sheikh Zayed Road. Public transport into the peninsula remains limited at this stage, and the area still combines maritime and light-industrial uses alongside the residential towers now under construction. Other waterfront projects in the district, including Harbour Lights, have recently reached structural topping-out, indicating the residential supply pipeline here is still forming rather than mature.

Reported gross rental yields in Maritime City sit in the 5-8% range, with one-bedroom rents quoted around AED 50,000 a year — figures that should be read with caution given the area's limited leasing history and comparatively untested resale liquidity next to established submarkets such as Business Bay or Downtown.

Deyaar's track record

In April 2026 Deyaar handed over 1,436 units across three Dubai projects: Regalia in Business Bay (a 70-storey, 331-metre tower — the developer's tallest completed to date), Jannat in Dubai Production City (362 units, the final residential district of the Midtown community), and Talia Residences in Al Furjan (161 furnished hotel apartments operated with Millennium Hotels & Resorts). That batch of deliveries lands in the same year Mar Casa is due, giving buyers a recent, verifiable reference point for the developer's build-out pace rather than only a construction-progress figure.

Payment plan

Mar Casa is sold on a structure requiring 12% at booking, with the balance of construction-linked instalments paid through the build phases, followed by a post-handover plan that spreads roughly a quarter of the price over approximately two years after commissioning. Portals list the construction-period share differently (some show 56% plus an 8% completion payment, others a combined 64%), so buyers should confirm the exact instalment schedule against Deyaar's own payment plan document before relying on third-party summaries.

What handover will mean here

Because Maritime City has few completed residential towers so far, owners taking handover around the current October 2026 target will be among the district's earlier residents rather than buying into an established rental comparable set. Reported yields above many mature Dubai communities come with the trade-off of a still-developing amenity base and transport network around the peninsula.
