Big Lab Reports Growing Demand for Low-Rise Luxury Waterfront Housing in Dubai

Buyers in Dubai are shifting from high-rise towers to low-rise waterfront homes with limited units, privacy, and architectural distinction.

DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES, June 17, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Big Lab Reports Growing Demand for Low-Rise Luxury Waterfront Housing in Dubai

In 2025, Dubai is seeing steady growth in demand for premium waterfront residential projects with a limited number of units. According to Big Lab Digital Agency, a company specializing in marketing for the high-end real estate sector, more buyers are moving away from high-rise towers in well-established districts and turning their attention to low-rise developments along the coast — often featuring private beach access, distinctive architecture, and strong transport connectivity.

“We’re observing consistent interest in residential formats that emphasize architectural identity, low density, and privacy,” says Iurii Nemtcev, CEO of Big Lab. “Buyers today are choosing environments that support their way of living — not just layouts.”

Dubai Maritime City: A Shift Toward Compact, Design-Led Developments

One area where this trend is particularly visible is Dubai Maritime City, a peninsula between Port Rashid and Dubai Creek that is undergoing large-scale redevelopment. While the number of residential projects in the area remains limited, user activity suggests growing awareness. Big Lab notes that search interest has increased around projects such as The Mural Beyond, Oceanz, Coral Reef, and Mar Casa.

Each of these projects features its own architectural character. Oceanz focuses on vertical sea views and marine-inspired elements; Coral Reef adopts fluid architectural themes; The Mural by Omniyat emphasizes artistic expression in architectural form; and Mar Casa highlights open terraces and a sense of spatial openness.

“Dubai Maritime City still offers relatively low inventory,” Nemtcev says. “But digital behavior shows growing curiosity. Investors seeking long-term potential are looking at waterfront districts that remain underbuilt and design-forward.”

Dubai Islands: A Growing Cluster of Boutique Coastal Projects

A parallel trend is unfolding on Dubai Islands, where a number of low-rise residential projects are helping define a new typology: compact buildings, limited-unit formats, and resort-like privacy.

According to Big Lab’s analysis, several of the new projects on Dubai Islands reflect this shift. These include Isolana Residences, known for its terraced floorplans and panoramic views; Arya Residences, Wellington Ocean, Zephyra Residences, and Sunset Bay 3, which focus on sea-facing layouts and minimalist design; as well as Agua Residences, Mayas Sea View Residence, and Allegro Residences, where soft luxury and private, resort-style living take precedence.

“We’re seeing growing engagement around projects that offer fewer units and more thoughtfully designed living spaces,” says Nemtcev. “It’s a clear sign that buyers are looking for lifestyle alignment, not just size.”

Design as an Entry Point

In addition to rising search interest for waterfront properties, the agency has observed deeper interaction with listings and content related to residential developments that highlight sculptural architecture, curated materials, and spatial clarity.

“We’re seeing users respond not just to location or price, but to the design language of the building itself,” Nemtcev says. “Facade texture, natural light flow, and outdoor continuity — these are increasingly influencing decision-making. People want homes that reflect their values and identity.”
