Agua Residences

Agua Residences is a waterfront residential project by Citi Developers, located on Dubai Islands off the Deira coastline. It offers 1–3BR apartments, 2BR duplexes, and 4BR penthouse suites ranging from 710 to 2,019 sq ft. Citi Developers has a global track record of delivering over 350,000 homes to more than half a million clients.

Prices at Agua Residences start from AED 1,700,000 for a 1-bedroom apartment. Larger units including 2BR duplexes and 4BR penthouses are priced higher depending on floor level and view. The project is currently off-plan with a Q4 2027 handover date.

Agua Residences offers a 50/50 payment plan, meaning 50% is paid during the construction phase and the remaining 50% on handover in Q4 2027. This structure limits upfront capital outlay and is suitable for both end-users and investors managing cash flow.

The project includes 1–3BR apartments ranging from 710 to 1,799 sq ft, 2BR duplexes from 742 to 772 sq ft, and 4BR penthouse suites from 1,779 to 2,019 sq ft. Every unit includes a personal sky pool and smart-home technology as standard features.

Amenities are split across two signature zones: Cloud 9, a rooftop terrace with private and public cabanas, a sunken pool bar, and floating sun loungers; and The One, featuring an infinity pool, outdoor yoga studio, private cinema, game room, fitness studio, and spa. Additional facilities include a concierge, steam rooms, Roman baths, a kids pool, a business centre, and a cigar lounge.

Each apartment includes a personal sky pool — uncommon at this price point — along with a built-in personal assistant robot, Villeroy & Boch kitchen fittings, and direct ocean or city views. The combination of tech-forward living and waterfront location on Dubai Islands sets it apart from mainland off-plan launches.

Agua Residences is on Dubai Islands, a waterfront district off the coast of Deira, connected to the mainland via Infinity Bridge Road. Downtown Dubai is approximately 30 minutes by car, and Dubai International Airport is also around 30 minutes away. The island itself has 21 km of beachfront, marinas, resorts, and two championship golf courses.

Waterfront properties on Dubai Islands are currently generating rental yields of approximately 7–9%, driven by demand for family-friendly and lifestyle-oriented units. The off-plan entry price from AED 1.7M, combined with the 50/50 plan and Q4 2027 handover, offers investors time to plan exits or tenancy strategies ahead of delivery.
