About Baystar by Vida

Baystar by Vida is an off-plan development by Emaar Properties in Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai. Entry price is AED 2,105,888.

Baystar by Vida is a waterfront apartment development by Emaar, set on the Marina Promenade within the Mina Rashid community. Comprising two towers and a collection of 1- to 4-bedroom residences designed in Vida's signature coastal style, it offers a considered blend of resort living and city convenience, with prices ranging from AED 2,105,888 to AED 11,542,888.

What is it?

Baystar by Vida is made up of two towers, one rising to 20 residential floors and the other to 16, each set above a basement, ground floor and podium level. The homes range from one to four bedrooms and follow Vida's coastal-inspired aesthetic, with floor-to-ceiling glazing, spacious balconies and warm, natural-toned interiors that fill the spaces with light. Residents have access to an extensive amenity offering, including indoor and outdoor gyms, an infinity pool with a yoga area, a children's playground, a sports zone, a multipurpose hall, a barbecue area and retail spaces, all framed by views over the marina and the city.

Why this location?

Mina Rashid, also known as Rashid Yachts & Marina, is a prestigious waterfront district beside Dubai's historic centre, pairing a calm maritime atmosphere with urban comfort. Downtown Dubai, Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall are just 15 to 20 minutes away, while Dubai International Airport is around 20 minutes. Daily life revolves around seafood restaurants, cafes, boutiques and yacht clubs, and the district regularly hosts exhibitions, concerts and family events. Sheikh Zayed Road and water transport keep the rest of the city within reach, and the waterfront's promenades, green spaces and a swimming pool stretching over 500 metres, among the largest in the region, anchor an active, seaside lifestyle.

What will it cost?

Homes at Baystar by Vida start from AED 2,105,888 and rise to AED 11,542,888, with sizes spanning roughly 728 to 2,950 sq ft, a broad range that accommodates everything from compact one-bedroom apartments to expansive family residences. Because every home is priced above AED 2 million, buyers across the board may qualify for the UAE's 10-year Golden Visa. The development is offered on a payment plan with no post-handover instalments, and buyers should also budget for the 4% Dubai Land Department registration fee. Our team can share the full deposit and milestone schedule on request.

Who is it for?

Baystar by Vida suits buyers drawn to branded, waterfront living within easy reach of central Dubai, from professionals and downsizers wanting a lock-up-and-leave marina home to families needing larger layouts. Its wide price and size spectrum, freehold title and Golden Visa eligibility also make it attractive to investors targeting a high-demand coastal address with a recognisable Emaar and Vida pedigree.

About Emaar Properties

Emaar Properties is the developer behind Burj Khalifa, The Dubai Mall, Downtown Dubai, Dubai Marina, Dubai Hills Estate and Dubai Creek Harbour. It is listed on the Dubai Financial Market and builds master-planned communities rather than individual plots, which is the practical difference for a buyer: you are buying into a scheme where the roads, parks, schools and retail are part of the same plan as the building.

What do they build?

Whole communities, and apartments, townhouses and villas within them. Across the 17 Emaar projects TRPE currently brokers, entry prices run from AED 1,120,000 to AED 7,260,000, with the smallest unit at 607 sq ft. Emaar sits at the upper-middle of the market: rarely the cheapest way into a given area, and rarely the riskiest.

Where do they build?

Across master communities it planned and still controls. Of the 17 projects we hold, 3 are in Dubai Creek Harbour.

Dubai Creek Harbour — 3 projects, from AED 1,600,000 to AED 3,419,888
Dubai Hills Estate — 3 projects, from AED 1,400,000 to AED 1,840,000
Emaar South — 3 projects, from AED 1,120,000 to AED 3,200,000
Mina Rashid — 3 projects, from AED 1,930,000 to AED 2,080,000
The Valley — 2 projects, from AED 4,360,000 to AED 7,260,000
Dubai Harbour — 1 project, from AED 1,161,888
Emaar Beachfront — 1 project, from AED 3,480,000
Expo City — 1 project, from AED 1,400,000

Because Emaar owns the master plan, what gets built next to your building is largely known in advance. That is a genuine advantage over buying a single plot in a district that is still filling in, and it is worth paying something for.

What should you check before buying?

How much of the community is still to be delivered. In a phase that is barely started you carry years of construction next door; in a finished phase you pay more but you can see what you are buying.
Service charges by community, not by developer. Downtown and Emaar Beachfront sit far above Emaar South or The Valley. It is the single number most buyers underestimate.
Supply in the same community. Where a master plan releases several towers of similar apartments, they compete with each other at resale.
The payment plan and the handover schedule in writing. We do not publish handover dates for these projects because we do not hold confirmed ones.

Are they a safe developer to buy from?

As safe as Dubai off-plan gets. Emaar is listed, government-linked and has delivered at scale for decades, and completion risk on an Emaar project is not the thing to lose sleep over. The real questions are about price and timing rather than delivery: whether the premium over a neighbouring developer is worth it for the specific unit, and whether the phase you are buying into is early or late. Those are the two we can actually help you answer.
