Property in Marina Diamond 2

Marina Diamond 2 is a 15-storey residential tower in Dubai Marina, part of the six-building Marina Diamond complex. Bayut lists it as freehold, developed by Diamond Developers and completed in 2006, with 266 studios, 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom apartments. It sits a short drive from Dubai Marina Mall, JBR and the Walk.

Marina Diamond 2 at a glance

The wider Marina Diamond complex has six mid-rise buildings and about 1,300 apartments. Bayut dates the whole complex to 2010, which is later than its date for this tower, so completion years differ from source to source. The Dubai Land Department can confirm the details of a particular unit.

Marina Diamond 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6: which building is which?

People search for each building by number, for example Marina Diamond 1, 4, 5 and 6. They are separate towers in the same complex with their own listings. Marina Diamond 2 is the one this page covers. When you read a listing, check the tower number, because floor, view and service charge can differ. Our page for the Marina Diamonds complex shows the wider group.

Renting in Marina Diamond 2

Buying in Marina Diamond 2

Bayut says the apartments attract investors who want rental income, because the units are small and the location is central. Before you offer, check the unit's condition, the age of its air-conditioning and the approved service charge. Our Dubai service charge index guide shows how to look it up. We do not quote a figure because we could not source a dated one. See apartments for sale in Dubai Marina and the Dubai Marina community page.

Who it suits

It suits single professionals and couples who want to be in the Marina on a modest budget, and investors who want small units near the tram and beach. It is less suited to families who need 3 bedrooms, as the tower has none.

Pros and cons

• Pros: central Marina location, pool, gym and sauna, freehold, pet-friendly, studios to 2-bedrooms.
• Cons: an older, mid-rise building, compact units, visitor parking on the street, and heavy traffic at peak times.
