The Meriva Collection 1BR Apartment in Dubai Islands — Move-In Ready Value

A 1-bedroom apartment of 74 sq m (797 sq ft) in The Meriva Collection — early-stage entry into Dubai Islands with a 0% instalment plan running through to completion in 2030

Dubai Islands is one of Dubai’s fastest-developing coastal districts, and buying at the construction phase means locking in today’s pricing before the area reaches its full potential.
