Overview
Solaya (1, 2 and 3) is the first group of towers of Meraas' Solaya beachfront residential development at La Mer, Jumeirah 1, Dubai. Dubai Land Department records it as an active off-plan project (no. 4089) with 67 residential units on a 28,158 sqm plot, registered on 24 September 2025, with a registered construction start of 30 January 2026 and a planned completion of 30 June 2029 as announced by the developer side. The latest recorded inspection (14 July 2026) shows 0% progress, so the buildings should be treated as not yet built and the handover as not started. Apartments, duplexes and penthouses of 2 to 5 bedrooms are listed, from about 1,990 to 15,300 sq ft, and the developer starting price shown by Property Finder is AED 14.2 million (not a registered sale price). The wider Solaya development is described by Meraas as 234 homes in nine low-rise buildings on 40 acres, designed by Foster + Partners with interiors by 1508 London; these figures belong to the whole development, not to this phase. All images are developer renders. Registered 2026 sales are shown from DLD open data; other phases (4,6), (5,7) and (8,9) are registered separately.

Expert analysis
Mr Amlak's reading of the sources listed on this page. It is not a rating or an opinion of the Dubai Land Department.
Strengths
Beachfront La Mer location about 4.4 km straight-line from Burj Khalifa / The Dubai Mall; Foster + Partners with 1508 London interiors for the wider Solaya; 13 off-plan sales registered at DLD in 2026 for this phase.
Based on: Meraas page; OpenStreetMap; DLD open dataWeaknesses
DLD still shows 0% progress at the 2026-07-14 inspection and the planned handover (June 2029) is about three years away. Floors, parking, contractor and service charge are not published.
Based on: DLD project status; Meraas, PF, E&V checkedInvestment opportunities
The 13 registered 2026 sales have a median of about AED 6,905 per sq ft against about AED 3,834 for the whole Jumeirah First area (107 sales, all property types): the project sits in the ultra-luxury end. The 20/40/40 plan (Property Finder, unverified) spreads the cash outlay. This is not a profit or price-growth estimate.
Based on: DLD open data; Property FinderInvestment risks
Off-plan: handover dates can move, prices are high (median of the 13 sales about AED 31.2M) and resale liquidity is unclear: only 5 resale adverts were seen on Property Finder. Check everything against the developer and the sales contract before buying.
Based on: DLD open data; Property Finder listingsMarket reading
Up to 15 Nov 2026, 13 registered sales (all off-plan) worth about AED 436M, from AED 14.39M to AED 84.6M. Resale asking prices for Solaya 1 range AED 27.5M-35M with a median of about AED 7,217 per sq ft (adverts, not transactions). No rents are registered because nothing is built.
Based on: DLD open data; Property FinderConclusion
Solaya (1,2,3) is an ultra-luxury off-plan phase of 67 units at La Mer, not yet built per DLD, with handover planned for June 2029. Registry and 2026 sales data are solid; technical specs and service charge are not yet published and need developer confirmation.
