On booking: DLD 4% and AED 1,020 registration fall at the same time
Forty per cent falls due before handover and sixty on completion. The instalments are dated from your own booking rather than from a build stage, so the calendar shifts with when you reserve.
Payments go into the project escrow account and your purchase registers through Oqood at booking. Fees on top of the price are 4% to the Dubai Land Department plus AED 1,000 registration and AED 20 in knowledge and innovation charges. At handover there is AED 250 for the title deed and a map fee. Arada pays us, so you pay no commission. See what you pay in fees in Dubai and Abu Dhabi compared.

W Residences at Dubai Harbour floor plans, Tower 3, every layout (PDF)
Layouts & Specifications
Three towers, seventy-nine layouts, and they do not describe the same building.
Layouts per tower
| Tower | Layouts | One bed | Two bed | Three bed | Four bed | Duplexes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tower 1 | 29 | 6 | 9 | 4 | 5 | 3 |
| Tower 2 | 27 | 5 | 9 | 5 | 2 | 4 |
| Tower 3 | 23 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 3 |
Every tower ends the same way: a five bedroom penthouse over four floors, then the Presidential Suite and its roof deck.
How the newest tower is stacked
The first ten levels carry one and two bedroom apartments, six one bedroom layouts and five two bedroom layouts rotating around the core. The eleventh and twelfth levels are given over to duplexes, where a two, three or four bedroom home takes two floors and the plate holds only three residences. From the fourteenth level the homes grow again, into four bedrooms through the twenties and low thirties, then a three bedroom layout that appears only in the thirties. The thirty-seventh to the fortieth levels hold the penthouse. Towers 1 and 2 follow the same sequence with their own floor breaks.

About This Project
Arada is building three towers on the seafront at Dubai Harbour, between Bluewaters Island and The Palm, carrying the W name under licence from Marriott International. The floor plans tell you how they work before a single render does: each tower is sorted by size from the ground up.

The WET Infinity Pool on the podium
One bedroom homes fill the lower floors. The two-storey duplexes take a band in the middle. Three and four bedroom homes run through the twenties and thirties. The last four residential floors belong to a five bedroom penthouse with its own pool, and above everything, on the forty-first floor, sits a single Presidential Suite with a private roof deck of its own on the forty-second. Three towers, three of those suites, and because Arada drew each tower on its own terms, the three buildings do not hold the same homes.
The duplexes sit in the middle
In most towers of this height the two-storey homes sit at the crown, where the view is longest. Here Arada put them low, in the central section of each building, and gave the top of the tower to single-floor penthouses. A buyer who wants two floors and a staircase is buying in the middle of the building. A buyer who wants the highest home in the tower is buying a penthouse on one level.
Fewer neighbours the higher you go
On the lower floors the core is surrounded by six or seven homes and the corners go to one bedrooms. Through the duplex band the plate carries three homes. By the four bedroom floors there are two or three homes on the level, and on the penthouse floors there is one.
The balconies are the departure
Living rooms open onto the water side and balconies wrap the corners. On a number of the one bedroom layouts the outdoor area is close to half the size of the interior, which turns the balcony into a second living room rather than a ledge. The penthouses carry that further and add a pool to the terrace.
Every home is delivered with smart home features as standard and a kitchen that arrives with its washer-dryer, cooking range and hood already fitted. The duplex layouts put the living floor below and the bedrooms above, with the staircase set against the core so the water side of both floors stays clear. Owners join ONVIA, the platform Marriott runs for W residence owners, with elevated Marriott Bonvoy status, owner rates across the Bonvoy portfolio, preferred access on Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection voyages and a concierge line.
From AED 3.91M
One bedrooms from AED 3,910,000 and two bedrooms from AED 6,000,000. Three bedrooms from AED 11,700,000 and four bedrooms from AED 15,110,000, with the five bedroom penthouses above them. The plan is 40/60: ten per cent on booking, five instalments dated from your booking day, and sixty per cent on completion. Registration is 4% of the price plus AED 1,020, ownership is freehold to all nationalities, and we sell them at zero commission.
The podium
Shared by all three towers, and where the project spends its scale: the WET Infinity Pool running more than two hundred metres along it, Wellfit's flagship wellness centre on 43,000 sq ft, a residents' gym and spa, yoga and pilates studios, a kids' club with trained staff, a screening room, a games room with a sports simulator, and the Sound Suite, a working recording studio. The Residence Lounge is a co-working floor by day and a social room at night.
Arada in Dubai
Its two other branded towers we cover are Akala beside DIFC and Inaura in Downtown, both on the same 40/60 plan dated from booking. Every Dubai project we cover sits on our Dubai off-plan hub.
Our Honest Take
This is how we read W Residences at Dubai Harbour for our own clients — including who should walk away.
Our view is that this is a page to read floor by floor. The building is sorted by size, the duplexes are in the middle, and the three towers hold different homes, so the first decision is which tower and which band, and the price follows from that.
Pick the tower before the layout
Tower 1 for the widest choice of four bedrooms. Tower 2 for the widest choice of two and three bedrooms, and the largest duplex in the project. Tower 3, the newest release, for the leanest range and a LEED Gold building.
The district is the reason, not the tower alone
Dubai Harbour is a destination in its own right rather than a residential pocket that borrows one. The boardwalk, the beach, the dining along the water and the boats coming and going are inside the community, and the towers sit on the promenade rather than behind it.
Buy here if you want a branded home with the operator's programme behind it. The W desk runs around the clock, and ONVIA travels with you.
Buy here if you want a duplex and do not need to be at the top. The two-storey homes are in the middle band, drawn with the living floor below and the bedrooms above.
Buy here if you want the podium. Two hundred metres of pool, a flagship wellness centre and a recording studio are shared by three towers, which is why they are sized the way they are.
Buy here if you want the water on three sides. From the apartments the view takes in Dubai Marina, the Palm, Bluewaters, Ain Dubai and the open Gulf beyond.
Who is it not for?
This is a branded seafront tower with a price to match, bought by someone who will hold it through a long build: enabling works are underway and the main contract was awarded in February 2026. A buyer who wants keys soon, or a quiet residential street, wants a different address.
Off-plan lending caps at 50% of the price across the UAE, so the payment plan carries most of this purchase.
Why this project
The towers are sorted by size from the ground up
One bedrooms fill the lower floors, the duplexes take a band in the middle, three and four bedrooms run through the twenties and thirties, and a five bedroom penthouse holds the last four residential floors. Above it all, one Presidential Suite per tower with its own roof deck.
Three towers, three different buildings
Arada drew each tower on its own terms. Tower 1 carries the widest range of four bedroom homes, Tower 2 the widest range of two and three bedrooms and the largest duplex, Tower 3 is the leanest and the newest to release.
The duplexes sit in the middle, not the crown
In most towers of this height the two-storey homes take the top. Here they sit low in the building and the top goes to single-floor penthouses. Two floors and a staircase means the middle; the highest home means a penthouse.
A podium shared by all three towers
The WET Infinity Pool runs more than two hundred metres along it, Wellfit's flagship wellness centre takes 43,000 sq ft of it, and a screening room, a games room and a recording studio sit beside them.
The W name, with Marriott behind it
Service runs on the W Whatever/Whenever desk around the clock, and owners join ONVIA, Marriott's platform for W residence owners, with elevated Bonvoy status and owner rates across the portfolio.
Dubai Harbour, between Bluewaters and the Palm
The towers sit on the promenade of the seafront district, with the marina's 705 berths, the cruise terminal, the beach and the yacht club inside the community rather than borrowed from next door.
W Residences at Dubai Harbour Location
W Residences stands on the promenade at Dubai Harbour, the seafront district between Bluewaters Island and The Palm Jumeirah. The district's anchor is its marina, with 705 berths across two basins, Harbour Marina for charter vessels and Bay Marina for superyachts and private owners, with space for a yacht up to 160 metres. It was the first marina in the world to hold three simultaneous accreditations from The Yacht Harbour Association, and it hosts the Dubai International Boat Show. A cruise terminal, hotels, restaurants and a retail promenade sit alongside it, and residents reach the Dubai Harbour Yacht Club on foot.
Dubai Marina and Bluewaters are both a short drive away, and Sheikh Zayed Road carries the rest of the city from there. The certification is set per building: Arada published Tower 2 as LEED Silver and Tower 3 as LEED Gold. In February 2026 Arada awarded the main construction contract, worth AED 1.55 billion, to Engineering Contracting Co., after an earlier enabling-works package to APCC Piling and Marine Contracting.
