About Dubai Islands

Dubai Islands is a group of man-made islands off the Deira coastline in northern Dubai. It was formerly known as Deira Islands, and Nakheel is the master developer. It is a new residential district, and its first homes are due for completion in 2026. The area has 61 buildings with 4,184 apartments, plus 2 villa communities with 636 villas. Bay Villas Dubai Island is one of the villa communities, and Bay Residences A1 is one of the residential communities. The largest apartment buildings include Azura Residences, Cotier House and the Bay Grove Residences blocks, among them B7 and B10. Besides Nakheel, the developers building here include Samana Star Real Estate Development and Imtiaz GHD Real Estate Development. Most of the district is still under construction, so people buying here now are mostly buying off-plan homes in a place that is still taking shape.

Dubai Islands is an apartment district of about 4,818 apartments, built from 2026 onwards. 58 buildings are complete and another three are under construction; the villas sit in two communities. A typical building here has about 63 homes; the tallest, Bay Grove Residences B10, has 20 floors. The buildings come from 10 different developers rather than one master developer; the most active are Nakheel, Imtiaz GHD Real Estate Development and Imtiaz Real Estate Investment & Development .
