Overview
Solaya (5,7) is the DLD-registered project that covers buildings 5 and 7 of Solaya, the beachfront residential scheme that Meraas (Dubai Holding Real Estate) is developing with Brookfield Properties on the La Mer waterfront in Jumeirah 1, Dubai. The wider scheme was announced on 30 September 2025 as nine low-rise buildings with 234 residences on about 40 acres, designed by Foster + Partners with interiors refined by 1508 London. This page covers only the 5 and 7 project record: 55 registered units, DLD project number 4123, registered on 28 November 2025, with construction start recorded as 31 March 2026 and planned completion on 30 September 2029 (planned, as stated by the developer and DLD). Developer marketing lists two- to five-bedroom apartments, duplexes and penthouses; Property Finder shows asking starting prices from AED 14.2 million for a two-bedroom in Building 5, with larger homes up to roughly 17,800 sq ft. At the last DLD inspection (28 September 2026) progress was recorded at 0%, and 22 off-plan sales have been registered in 2026 so far. All images shown are developer renders, not photographs of a finished building. Prices are off-plan and figures from listings are asking prices, not transactions; this is not an offer or a promise of returns.

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 position at La Mer in Jumeirah 1, a short distance from Jumeirah Center and close to central Dubai; Foster + Partners design and a well-known developer (Meraas / Dubai Holding with Brookfield). Freehold, with an escrow-registered project at DLD.
Based on: DLD status page, Meraas, OSM distancesWeaknesses
DLD recorded 0% progress at the last inspection and handover is planned only for 2029; floor count, height, contractor and service charge are not yet published. Current adverts are mostly assignments by first buyers priced above registered sales.
Based on: DLD progress rows, Property Finder advertsInvestment opportunities
The median registered 2026 price is about AED 7,941 per sq ft and the median asking price about AED 7,811, so asking prices are not far from registered sales at the time of checking. The 20/40/40 plan allows staged cash flow. This is not a profit forecast.
Based on: DLD open data 2026, Property Finder advertsInvestment risks
Off-plan risks: delay against the planned date, changes to specifications, and thin liquidity for very expensive units (up to over AED 110 million). Check the contract, escrow account and permits before buying.
Based on: DLD status, off-plan natureMarket reading
22 sales are registered at DLD in 2026 for Solaya (5,7) (53 across the Solaya records), all off-plan. No rent contracts exist because the building is not built, so no rental yield can be calculated.
Based on: DLD open data 2026Conclusion
Solaya (5,7) is a luxury beachfront off-plan project in Jumeirah 1 that is only at the start of construction. Registry data (DLD) is verified, while technical details and prices come from developer material and adverts and should be confirmed with the developer before any decision.
