In a significant move for Dubai’s real estate sector, Meraas, a subsidiary of Dubai Holding Real Estate, has awarded China State Construction Engineering Corporation (Middle East) (L.L.C) a construction contract worth over AED 1 billion for the much-anticipated Bluewaters Bay project. The development is set to become one of Dubai’s most iconic waterfront destinations, with a planned completion date in the fourth quarter of 2027. The award of this major contract marks a pivotal milestone in the realization of a project that has already garnered significant interest, both locally and internationally.
Project Overview
Bluewaters Bay will be a striking addition to Dubai’s already impressive skyline. The development will feature two residential towers connected by an innovative podium, offering a variety of residential units. A total of 678 apartments, including one to four-bedroom units and exclusive penthouses, will be available. The design of Bluewaters Bay is focused on providing a premium living experience, with luxury and convenience at the forefront. The apartments will be designed to meet the needs of modern residents, with spacious layouts and state-of-the-art features.
The podium level of the development will include retail and food and beverage (F&B) outlets, providing a vibrant, mixed-use space that enhances the overall appeal of the area. The waterfront development will also feature an array of exceptional amenities, including a beautifully landscaped promenade that will provide a serene walking space for residents and visitors. An outdoor pool, children’s play area, and barbecue facilities will further enhance the quality of life for those living in the community.
Strategic Location and Vision
Bluewaters Bay will be located along the coastline of Dubai, offering residents stunning views of the surrounding waters and the Dubai skyline. The project is designed to integrate seamlessly into Dubai’s broader vision of developing iconic waterfront destinations that blend modern living with natural beauty. The location is expected to attract a wide range of residents, from families to professionals, all looking to enjoy the best of both worlds—luxury living and close proximity to Dubai’s key attractions and business districts.
Community-Centric Design
A key focus of the Bluewaters Bay development is the creation of a strong sense of community. The amenities and public spaces have been designed with the intention of fostering social interaction, promoting health and wellness, and enhancing overall lifestyle. The landscaped promenade will provide a scenic setting for residents to unwind and enjoy the outdoors, while the children’s play area and outdoor pool will encourage family-friendly activities. The inclusion of barbecue facilities also reflects the community-oriented nature of the project, providing spaces for residents to gather and socialize.
Khalid Al Malik, the CEO of Dubai Holding Real Estate, commented on the project, saying, “This project reflects our commitment to crafting exceptional waterfront communities that elevate Dubai’s dynamic urban landscape. We are confident that China State Construction Engineering Corporation’s expertise will bring this vision to life, creating a destination that residents and visitors will cherish.”
Completion and Future Outlook
Scheduled for completion in Q4 2027, Bluewaters Bay promises to redefine luxury waterfront living in Dubai. The project is expected to become a key feature of the city’s thriving real estate market and contribute significantly to the UAE’s vision of building world-class urban spaces that attract global attention and investment. The award of the contract to China State Construction Engineering Corporation highlights the company’s continued success in the Middle Eastern market and its proven expertise in delivering large-scale, high-quality developments.
