FAQ

Born and raised opposite the islands
I grew up looking out at this stretch of water. I watched it go from open sea, to the islands being filled, to the very first launch, and I've followed every phase since. Today I advise investors at RealEstate.ae on exactly where to buy on Dubai Islands, plot by plot, with the numbers to back it up.

Edgewater Residences – Phase 3
Edgewater Residences Phase 3 is the final phase of MGS Development's Edgewater community on Dubai Islands, made up of three 12-storey towers (A, B and C). It offers semi-fitted 1, 2 and 3-bedroom apartments with BOSCH kitchen appliances; upper floors from the 7th level look out to the sea and golf course. The project is backed by Kazakhstan-based SAT Holding, with architecture by AYENK of Miami.

The islands
Each island is zoned for a different buyer. Pick one. Tap a render to see it full size.
ROI calculator
Set the island, unit, bedrooms, floor, view (or position, for villas) and price. Island E uses Bay Estate's villa plots (villas and townhouses are sold out, so those are resale estimates). The model projects rent and value in three scenarios as Island A matures: the mall, souq, beach clubs and golf coming online, and DXB traffic moving to Al Maktoum.
Bay Estate plots must be built on, so the figures include building your villa (ready ~2032).
