Residences Du Port, Dubai Marina, Autograph Collection Residences: Handover Date & Completion Status

What Résidences Du Port Is

Résidences Du Port is marketed as the first Autograph Collection Residences development in Dubai and the UAE — a licensing partnership between Marriott International's soft-brand hotel tier and a Dubai Marina residential project. The scheme is a redevelopment of the site formerly occupied by the Nuran Hotel & Apartments rather than a tower built on vacant land, a distinction that matters in Dubai Marina, where waterfront plots have been largely built out since the mid-2010s. Marketing materials and multiple independent brokerage listings describe a boutique collection of 74 branded homes spanning one- to five-bedroom layouts, duplexes, triplexes and penthouses, with pricing starting near AED 2.49 million for a one-bedroom unit. That unit count is well below the figure sometimes carried in registry-derived data feeds for this project — a gap worth flagging rather than resolving here, since the two numbers cannot both describe the same 74-home boutique building.

Autograph Collection is Marriott's independent-character brand tier: properties that keep their own identity while drawing on Marriott's booking infrastructure, service standards and loyalty program. In practice, branded residences under this model typically fold hotel-style services — housekeeping, concierge, food and beverage tie-ins — into ownership, and buyers here are positioned to receive Gold Elite status in Marriott Bonvoy, the group's loyalty tier carrying benefits across roughly 7,000 properties worldwide. Branded stock generally commands a premium over comparable unbranded units in the same micro-location, reflecting both the service layer and the brand's function as a resale signal to an international buyer pool, though no independently audited resale-premium figure specific to this project could be verified.

Dubai Marina as a Rental Market

Dubai Marina is one of Dubai's most liquid and mature rental submarkets, built out over roughly two decades and anchored by a large stock of studio-to-three-bedroom towers aimed at professionals, expatriate couples and short-stay tenants drawn to the waterfront promenade, JBR proximity and metro access. Gross rental yields across the area's general apartment stock have typically run in the mid-to-high single digits, with one-bedroom units toward the tighter end — reflecting stronger capital values — and studios trending higher. That range describes the area's bulk, undifferentiated rental supply; a branded, boutique redevelopment on a Marina waterfront plot sits in a different segment, closer to hospitality-adjacent product than to standard Marina tower stock, so its post-handover income profile is unlikely to track the area median directly.

Developer and Delivery Track Record

The project is developed by Prime Marina Property Developers LLC, an entity operating under FIM Partners, an investment manager reporting assets under management above USD 4 billion. Devmark, a Dubai-based development marketing and sales consultancy founded in 2018, handles marketing and distribution rather than construction; it reports over AED 3 billion in transaction volume across client developments in 2023, but is not the building's contractor or master developer. As a single-project entity tied to an investment manager rather than a multi-project Dubai developer with a public delivery history, Prime Marina Property Developers does not yet carry an independently trackable on-time-delivery record. The redevelopment of an existing hotel building, rather than ground-up construction from foundation stage, is a factor that can compress build timelines relative to a new tower on the same footprint.

What Handover Will Mean

Completion converts a service-heavy, brand-licensed product into an operating residential asset in a submarket where hospitality-branded stock remains uncommon relative to the bulk of Marina's tower inventory. For owners, the practical questions at handover will be how the Marriott service agreement is structured — hospitality-level staffing tends to carry service charges above standard Marina strata rates — and whether units are placed into a managed rental pool or left to individual owners to lease conventionally. Neither detail is confirmed in the public materials reviewed for this piece, and both will shape realised yield more than the branding itself.
