Emaar: Shaping Dubai Marina's Skyline
Emaar Properties, founded in 1997, has become synonymous with Dubai's iconic skyline. From the world's tallest building, Burj Khalifa, to the sprawling Dubai Mall, Emaar's vision has transformed the city's landscape. In the late 1990s, Emaar Properties embarked on an ambitious journey to transform a stretch of Dubai's coastline into a world-class waterfront community. Initially called Westside Marina, this visionary project would soon become the iconic Dubai Marina we know today.
The story began in 1998 when Emaar started planning this audacious development. By 2000, the Marina Bridge was completed, and Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum renamed the project Dubai Marina, setting the stage for a remarkable transformation.
A pivotal moment came in 2002 when expatriates were allowed to buy freehold properties in Dubai. Emaar's first residential towers - Al Murjan, Al Mass, and Dubai Marina Towers - were nearly sold out, signaling the project's immense potential.
The completion of the Marina Walk, a cornerstone of the development, occurred in 2003. As Phase 2 planning began, Dubai Marina's skyline started to take shape. Between 2006 and 2008, the construction of key landmarks like Dubai Marina Mall, Marina Plaza, and Pier 7 was in full swing.
The opening of Dubai Marina Mall and Address Dubai Marina in 2008 marked a significant milestone, followed by Pier 7's debut in 2013. The area continued to evolve with the addition of Rove Dubai Marina in 2017 and the completion of 52|42 Dubai Marina in 2020.
Today, Dubai Marina stands as a testament to Emaar's vision and Dubai's ambition. From its artificial canal to its stunning skyscrapers, it has become a symbol of modern urban living and a prime example of Emaar's ability to create thriving communities.
Emaar's Latest Addition to Dubai Marina: In 2024, Emaar announced its latest project in Dubai Marina: Marina Cove. This development marks Emaar's return to Dubai Marina after a two-year hiatus, showcasing their continued commitment to this prestigious area. Key features of Marina Cove include:
