A late addition to MJL
Riwa is the most recent building Meraas has added to Madinat Jumeirah Living, the low-rise residential neighbourhood the developer laid out beside the Madinat Jumeirah resort. It was released as one, two and three-bedroom apartments together with a four-bedroom penthouse, and Meraas published a starting price of AED 2.35 M. The developer now records the project as sold out, so no launch unit remains to be bought from Meraas directly. That is not the end of the matter: units in a sold-out off-plan building are regularly assigned or resold by their original buyers, and Wincasa Properties tracks what comes back onto the market in this community.
Meraas placed Riwa in what it calls The Urban Edition, the more contemporary strand of the neighbourhood, and the elevations show it. Flat, clean facades are broken by planted sky gardens rather than by the arched, sand-coloured treatment used on the earlier buildings, and the entrance lobbies are double height. Inside, the developer specified premium finishes and a revised material palette, and set the plans out so that living spaces open onto terraces with an outlook in more than one direction. A landscaped park sits immediately alongside the building, designed in the same modern language rather than in the traditional style of the wider resort.
The address is the reason most buyers looked at it. Riwa stands between Al Wasl Road and Jumeirah Beach Road, with the Burj Al Arab in view and the coast a short distance away. Meraas states drive times of 5 minutes to Souk Madinat Jumeirah and to Mall of the Emirates, 10 minutes to Jumeirah Beach Residence and to Bluewaters Island, 15 minutes to Dubai Marina and 20 minutes to Dubai International Airport. Within the scheme the developer lists a swimming pool, a children's pool, day care centres, a gym and fitness centres, play areas, parks and open spaces, security 24/7 and a bridge linking the community to Madinat Jumeirah.
Riwa is sold out but not yet finished. The developer's published progress note describes excavation and foundation work as largely complete with superstructure construction under way, and names blockwork and internal finishes as the next stage, so anyone buying in now is buying into a building that is still going up. That shapes the process. Wincasa Properties takes the enquiry as an authorised sales partner of Meraas; on any unit still held by the developer the sale and purchase agreement is signed with Meraas Development LLC and instalments are paid into the project's escrow account under Dubai Land Department rules, never to the broker. On an assignment from an original buyer, the developer's no-objection certificate and transfer fee apply instead.
