Creek Harbour

Smart waterfront living for savvy investors

Nestled along the historic Dubai Creek, Creek Harbour represents the future of waterfront living in one of the emirate’s most ambitious developments. This project by Emaar Properties transforms a legendary waterway into a modern residential masterpiece where centuries of maritime heritage meet cutting-edge urban planning.

For French-speaking investors, Creek Harbour offers something rare: the dynamism of Downtown Dubai paired with the serenity of a waterfront address. The community occupies more than six square kilometres and blends contemporary design with respect for the area’s cultural significance.

Its strategic positioning inside Dubai’s growth corridor is another draw. The district links seamlessly to established business hubs while maintaining a calm, residential character. Once completed, the Creek Tower will stand as an architectural beacon visible across the emirate.

Over ten years of on-the-ground experience have shown us that Emaar projects consistently deliver immediate lifestyle benefits and long-term value. Creek Harbour continues this tradition, granting investors direct access to Dubai’s thriving property market through a development that balances heritage with innovation.

Where is Creek Harbour?

The master plan at a glance

Dubai Creek Harbour sits between the vibrant Downtown district and the protected Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary. This six-square-kilometre waterfront community is one of Dubai’s most ambitious urban projects, designed to bridge the city’s past with its future aspirations.

The master plan extends from Sheikh Zayed Road to Al Khail Road, ensuring smooth connectivity across the emirate. Its crown jewel—a lively marina and promenade—gives residents direct creek access while respecting the neighbouring mangrove ecosystem.

Concerns about isolation quickly fade thanks to multiple road access points and planned metro connectivity. Creek Harbour thus combines downtown energy with the calm created by generous green buffers.

Transport and connectivity: metro, road and water taxi

Creek Harbour enjoys comprehensive transport options, countering common concerns about isolation in new developments. A planned Dubai Metro Blue Line station will sit inside the community, complementing existing road and water links.

Until the metro extension opens, residents rely on several convenient choices:

Travel times remain competitive: Downtown Dubai is roughly 25 minutes by car off-peak, Dubai Festival City is 12 minutes by water taxi, and Dubai International Airport is 20–30 minutes away.

Public transport costs stay reasonable, with metro fares between AED 3 and AED 8 and water taxi rides starting around AED 25.

Property types and price ranges: mapping your budget

Creek Harbour offers three main residential categories, each serving distinct investment goals.

Apartments: the core of the community. Range from studios to three-bedroom units in buildings such as Palace Residences and Creek Waters. Many feature infinity pools and panoramic skyline views.

Villas: for families seeking extra space. Provide private gardens and direct promenade access in projects like Mangrove.

Serviced apartments combine hotel-style convenience with residential comfort, attracting business travellers and short-term tenants.

Most projects feature flexible payment plans, usually 10–20 % on booking followed by construction-linked instalments. Remember to include the 4 % DLD fee and handover charges in your budget calculations.

Innvesta can help you invest in every type of residential category in Dubai with a structured process.

Return on investment: yields, payment plans and resale prospects

Creek Harbour’s average rental yields of 8–10 % comfortably beat the Dubai average of 6–7 %. Waterfront units with unobstructed marina views command the highest premiums.

Capital appreciation is supported by several catalysts:

Developer payment plans reduce upfront capital outlay (often 70 % is paid during construction) allowing investors to build equity gradually. Secondary-market liquidity is strong; transactions typically close within 60–90 days.

Combined with Dubai’s tax-free rental framework, these factors create a compelling case for portfolio diversification.

Buyer checklist: avoid hidden fees and low-quality finishes

Thorough quality control at handover protects your capital. European buyers often uncover avoidable costs when inspections are rushed.
