Riwa at Madinat Jumeirah Living, Dubai by Meraas

Riwa at Madinat Jumeirah Living is a residential development by Meraas located in the Jumeirah district of Dubai. The project is part of the larger Living master community at Madinat Jumeirah, which is very close to Burj Al Arab, Jumeirah Beach Road and Umm Suqeim. Riwa comes up with a collection of low rise residential buildings, contemporary in architecture, and landscaped pedestrian spaces.

The development offers a selection of 1, 2, and 3 bedroom apartments along with limited 4 bedroom penthouses. Starting from AED 2.35M (updated on 02-03-2026), it features a flexible 75/25 payment structure. The project emphasizes large open spaces, open sightlines, and pedestrian-friendly areas in a secured community setting. The project is looking to attract end users as well as investors who are seeking freehold residential property within the heart of Dubai's coastal area. It is an off-plan property in Dubai and it will be handed over in 2027.

To preserve the urban character established already within Madinat Jumeirah Living, Meraas designed the project to continue with that. Proper planning, walking spaces, and low traffic levels are used with a moderate building height to tie buildings into the community. Across the road from Burj Al Arab and the rest of the Jumeirah skyline are the selected residences.
