- Jun 09, 2026
Sharafi Group Investments partners with DRE-X to bring its latest waterfront development to market through a premium broker-led strategy.
Sharafi Group Investments has officially unveiled MAREA Residences, a boutique luxury waterfront development located on the Dubai Islands, and appointed DRE-X as the exclusive sales and market rollout partner for the project. The collaboration combines Sharafi Group's long-standing legacy of excellence with DRE-X's expertise in project marketing, sales strategy, and broker engagement.
Positioned within one of Dubai's fastest-growing waterfront destinations, MAREA Residences is designed to offer residents a resort-inspired lifestyle while maintaining excellent connectivity to key areas of the city. The development provides easy access to Downtown Dubai, DIFC, Dubai International Airport, Sheikh Zayed Road, Al Khail Road, Dubai Islands Mall, marinas, beaches, and waterfront promenades.
The G+2+12-storey residential project features a curated collection of semi-furnished one- and two-bedroom apartments with jacuzzis, alongside spacious two- and three-bedroom duplex residences with maid's rooms and private plunge pools. Residents will also benefit from a range of premium amenities, including an infinity pool, gymnasium, sauna, Turkish hammam, tanning deck, and exclusive lounge spaces designed to enhance the waterfront living experience.
A key milestone for the project is the appointment of DRE-X, the master agency division of DRE Homes, to lead the launch and sales strategy. Through its extensive broker network and market expertise, DRE-X will oversee the project's positioning, broker engagement, and qualified buyer outreach, ensuring MAREA Residences reaches investors and end-users seeking premium waterfront homes in Dubai.
The partnership highlights the growing role of strategic project marketing in Dubai's competitive real estate market. By leveraging its experience in launching and scaling high-profile developments, DRE-X aims to maximise visibility and create strong market momentum for MAREA Residences from the very beginning.
Commenting on the launch, Qurat Ul Ain, Co-Founder and Chief Legal Officer of DRE-X and DRE Homes, said:
"This project is a testament to Sharafi Group's legacy, quality, and precision, and will truly be a masterpiece on the Dubai Islands. The launch will happen in phases, and construction work has already commenced. We are proud to lead the launch of this project through a premium broker-led strategy."
The statement reflects DRE-X's confidence in both the quality of the development and the long-term potential of the Dubai Islands as a premier waterfront destination. With construction already underway, the project is set to move forward in carefully planned phases to ensure a successful rollout and sustained market interest.
Prices at MAREA Residences start from AED 2.74 million, with buyers offered flexible payment options, including a 30/70 payment plan and a 50/50 post-handover plan extending two years beyond completion. The development is scheduled for handover in Q4 2027.
As the Dubai Islands continue to attract attention from investors and homebuyers alike, the partnership between Sharafi Group Investments and DRE-X represents a shared commitment to delivering quality, innovation, and exceptional waterfront living. With DRE-X leading the sales and market rollout, MAREA Residences is positioned to become one of the standout residential addresses on the Dubai Islands.
