Riwa: Meraas Holding in Madinat Jumeirah Living
Riwa is an apartment development by Meraas Holding, located within Madinat Jumeirah Living in Umm Suqeim 3, Dubai. Three buildings offer one- to four-bedroom apartments within the master-planned community.
What the Umm Suqeim Address Delivers
Madinat Jumeirah Living sits in Umm Suqeim 3, one of Dubai's established residential districts. Jumeirah Beach is under 10 minutes by car. Mall of the Emirates is roughly 5 minutes north. Downtown Dubai and Business Bay are around 20 to 25 minutes east along Sheikh Zayed Road.
For residents, that means beach access, a major retail and dining hub, and a direct route to the city's business core, all without the congestion of living closer to Downtown. The location works for families who want a community feel and investors who want a catchment area with consistent demand from working professionals and families.
AED 2.35M to AED 12M: What the Range Reflects
The AED 2,350,000 entry price covers one-bedroom apartments starting from 725 sq ft. The top of the range, AED 12,000,000, is a single four-bedroom unit at 4,390 sq ft in Building 1.
Two-bedrooms start at AED 3,120,000 in Building 1 and AED 3,150,000 in Buildings 2 and 3. Sizes run from 1,250 to over 2,400 sq ft depending on layout. Three-bedrooms begin at AED 6,130,000 in Buildings 2 and 3, and AED 6,355,000 in Building 1.
The sharpest step in the range is between the two-bedroom and three-bedroom tiers: roughly doubling from around AED 3.1M to over AED 6M. A buyer who needs three bedrooms is making a substantially different capital commitment than one choosing a two-bedroom.
Apartments from One to Four Bedrooms
Riwa offers apartments only. One-bedrooms are spread across all three buildings, with layouts from 725 to 877 sq ft. Two-bedrooms represent the largest portion of inventory and offer the widest variety of configurations, from compact 1,250 sq ft units to generous 2,452 sq ft layouts. Three-bedrooms run from approximately 1,990 to 2,799 sq ft. The four-bedroom is a single large-format unit in Building 1.
One-bedroom units suit a working professional or an investor focused on the rental market. Two-bedrooms cover a broader profile, from couples buying their first home to buy-to-let investors targeting families. Three- and four-bedrooms are clearly family configurations, with the space to support that.
The Amenities and What They Signal
| Category | Facilities |
|---|---|
| Recreation | Indoor Swimming Pool |
| Health & Wellness | Well-being and Fitness Centre |
| Family | Day Care Centre, Children's Play Area |
| Parking | Basement Parking |
The Day Care Centre is the standout here. It is not a common feature in Dubai apartment buildings of this scale. Its inclusion alongside a children's play area makes the project's target resident profile clear: this is primarily a family development, not an investor block or a single-professional tower. The indoor pool adds practical year-round utility in a climate where outdoor pools are genuinely limited for months at a stretch.
Five amenities is a short list, but the selection is purposeful. Each item serves a clear function for the resident type the project is targeting.
Completion Scheduled for August 2027
Construction began in September 2024. The expected handover date is 31 August 2027, giving a three-year build period. A buyer entering now at off-plan pricing has approximately two years of the construction period ahead. Payments during construction total 55% of the purchase price, spread across that window, which smooths the financial commitment over time.
Getting In for 20%
| Stage | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 20% |
| During construction | 55% |
| On handover | 25% |
The 20% down payment is the opening commitment. The 55% during construction pays out across the build period to August 2027, giving buyers time to manage cash flow. The 25% balance is due in full at handover. No post-handover installment plan applies, so the remaining amount is payable at completion. Buyers using mortgage finance should have pre-approval secured well ahead of the Q3 2027 handover date. Cash buyers need the final tranche available at that point.
