Projects in La Mer

Where Jumeirah Meets the Gulf: New Projects in La Mer

La Mer is a beachfront subdistrict within Jumeirah, positioned along the Arabian Gulf coast between Dubai's older low-rise residential community and the city's northern waterfront areas. Meraas Holding developed the district as a mixed-use destination, and that master-developer origin shapes both the physical environment and the supply of residential projects within it. Seven active projects span sub-areas including Port de La Mer, Le Ciel, Solaya, and Harrisoni La Mer Villas, giving buyers a focused but genuinely varied market to work through.

A Wide Price Range with a Clear Midpoint

The figures here span a significant distance: AED 1,275,000 at the entry point to AED 111,300,000 at the upper end, with a median of AED 10,970,000. That gap is not noise. It reflects a genuine spread across property types, from standard apartments at the lower end to penthouses and the handful of duplex and villa listings at the top. The median is the most useful number for most buyers: at just under AED 11 million, La Mer prices at the premium end of Jumeirah's waterfront subdistricts.

Property Mix

Apartments make up most of the available inventory, attracting both owner-occupiers and investors looking for a rentable beachside asset in a high-profile Jumeirah address. The two penthouse listings sit at the upper range and typically appeal to buyers treating this as a primary residence or a high-value second home rather than a yield play. The duplex and villa count is low enough that buyers focused on those types should expect limited choice and should move quickly when something suitable appears.

Two Developers, One Clear Anchor

With 2 developers across 7 projects, this is a concentrated market. Meraas Holding, as the original master developer of La Mer, anchors the supply. Almal Real Estate Development accounts for additional projects within the subdistrict. For resale-minded buyers, a market this closely tied to its master developer tends to deliver consistent infrastructure and public realm quality, but secondary market pricing also moves in close alignment with that developer's broader track record. The absence of a fragmented field of smaller builders is itself useful context when assessing build quality consistency.

Handover Timing and Entry Terms

The earliest handover in La Mer dates to February 2024, meaning some projects are already complete or handed over. Buyers should verify current delivery status before assuming off-plan pricing or conditions still apply to those units. The off-plan window extends to September 2029, so buyers entering now have access to longer-horizon completions at the upper end of available stock.

The minimum down payment starts at 5%, a low entry threshold relative to standard Dubai off-plan requirements. No projects in La Mer currently carry post-handover payment plans, so buyers should plan for full payment completion on or before handover when structuring their financing.

What the Amenity List Signals

Beach access is the defining feature of La Mer, and the rest of the amenity profile reflects a community built for active daily use: gymnasium, indoor swimming pool, yoga room, landscaped gardens, and shared pool sit alongside restaurants within the development. CCTV and staffed security round out the list. The pattern points to owner-occupiers and long-stay tenants who intend to live in the neighbourhood rather than short-rotation investors. This is a walkable, self-contained address, and the amenities exist to support that use case.
