# Meraas Source: https://withlida.com/developers/meraas --- :::intro Meraas is a residential developer within Dubai Holding Real Estate. As of 27 October 2026, its [official about page](https://meraas.com/en/about-us) lists four named handovers dated between 29 November 2023 and 15 November 2024. [Bluewaters Bay](https://meraas.com/en/project/bluewaters-bay) separately carries dated construction inspections, which describe that project rather than Bluewaters Residences or the whole island. ::: | Exact project or phase | Residential context | Milestone stated by the source | Record date | Primary source | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Cherrywoods | Townhouse community in Dubailand | Listed by Meraas as handed over | 4 December 2023 | [Meraas handover record](https://meraas.com/en/about-us), [community context](https://meraas.com/en/master-development/cherrywoods) | | La Vie | Residential development at Jumeirah Beach Residence (JBR) | Listed by Meraas as handed over | 29 November 2023 | [Meraas handover record](https://meraas.com/en/about-us), [residential context](https://meraas.com/en/master-development/la-vie) | | Bulgari Ocean Mansions | Residential project within Jumeira Bay | Listed by Meraas as handed over | 15 November 2024 | [Meraas handover record](https://meraas.com/en/about-us), [community context](https://meraas.com/en/master-development/jumeriah-bay-island) | | Central Park Building 1 | Named building within Central Park at City Walk | Listed by Meraas as handed over | 1 November 2024 | [Meraas handover record](https://meraas.com/en/about-us), [City Walk context](https://meraas.com/en/master-development/city-walk) | | Bluewaters Bay | Residential project listed separately from Bluewaters Residences | Meraas cites its internal construction progress inspection | 14 September 2026 | [Meraas project update](https://meraas.com/en/project/bluewaters-bay) | | Bluewaters Bay | The same project, with a separate inspection reference | Meraas quotes a Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA) progress inspection | 25 August 2026 | [Meraas project update](https://meraas.com/en/project/bluewaters-bay), a developer quotation of the regulator | Source: withlida.com, 27 October 2026, compiled from the linked Meraas pages. Handover dates are Meraas's stated dates. The inspection references are published by Meraas; no project-specific regulator result is reproduced here. Last verified: 27 October 2026. Checked by the publication's independent check, 27 October 2026. :::summary - Meraas's corporate identity, community portfolio and individual project records describe different levels of the business. - A named building's handover record applies to that building, rather than every phase in its community. - Bluewaters Bay and Bluewaters Residences appear as separate residential projects in Meraas's catalogue. - A developer-reported inspection and a direct regulator lookup are separate sources of evidence. ::: ## What is Meraas's relationship to Dubai Holding Real Estate? Meraas sits within Dubai Holding Real Estate, the wider real estate group. Its [official about page](https://meraas.com/en/about-us), checked 27 October 2026, identifies that relationship and presents Meraas, Nakheel, Dubai Properties and Meydan separately. This distinction matters when reading a corporate profile. A land-bank figure or delivery total labelled Dubai Holding Real Estate describes the group at the scope stated by that source. It cannot be carried across as a Meraas-only figure. Likewise, a project associated with another group brand needs its own attribution. For this profile, Meraas's own residential catalogue supplies the portfolio names, and its named project records supply the milestones. The corporate relationship provides context; each project retains its own identity and source. ## Which communities and phases are in Meraas's residential portfolio? Meraas's residential portfolio includes City Walk, Bluewaters and Jumeira Bay, alongside the other destinations in its [master-development catalogue](https://meraas.com/en/developments-listing), checked 27 October 2026. A master development is the wider planned community; individual projects and buildings sit within it. ### City Walk Meraas's [City Walk page](https://meraas.com/en/master-development/city-walk) lists City Walk Residences, City Walk Central Park, City Walk Northline, Verve City Walk and City Walk Crestlane as residential projects, as checked 27 October 2026. The handover entry in the table is specifically **Central Park Building 1**. Retaining that name keeps the record attached to its stated building. It does not assign the same handover date to all of Central Park, Northline, Verve or Crestlane. ### Bluewaters Meraas's [Bluewaters master-development page](https://meraas.com/en/master-development/bluewaters), checked 27 October 2026, lists **Bluewaters Residences** and **Bluewaters Bay** separately. Bluewaters is the wider destination; the names of its residential projects identify the relevant homes and records. The dated construction update discussed below belongs to Bluewaters Bay. It cannot describe the stage of Bluewaters Residences or every building on the island. The existing [Bluewaters Island guide](/areas/bluewaters-island) explains the residential setting and the distinction between those developments. ### Jumeira Bay Meraas's [Jumeira Bay page](https://meraas.com/en/master-development/jumeriah-bay-island), checked 27 October 2026, lists Bulgari Ocean Mansions, Bulgari Lighthouse Dubai, Bulgari Marina Lofts Dubai, Villa Amalfi and Bulgari Resorts & Residences Dubai. **Bulgari Ocean Mansions** is the exact name attached to the handover date in the about-page record. That date does not extend to the other named projects. The existing [Jumeirah Bay Island guide](/areas/jumeirah-bay-island) provides the residential and resident-access context. ### Other destinations in the catalogue The [Meraas catalogue](https://meraas.com/en/developments-listing), checked 27 October 2026, also includes The Acres, Nad Al Sheba Gardens, Madinat Jumeirah Living, d3, La Mer, Pearl Jumeira, Marsa Al Arab, 1/JBR, La Vie, Cherrywoods and Jebel Ali Hills. These are catalogue attributions. Their inclusion here makes no claim that every project or phase within them has reached the same construction or handover milestone. A project name, a community name and a dated stage record each answer a different question. ## What amenities are documented for individual Meraas developments? The published amenity descriptions attach to individual developments. For example, Meraas's [Cherrywoods page](https://meraas.com/en/master-development/cherrywoods), checked 27 October 2026, describes bicycle and running tracks, a fitness centre, and tennis, squash and basketball courts. Meraas's [Bluewaters Bay page](https://meraas.com/en/project/bluewaters-bay), checked on the same date, lists a community garden, landscaped walkways and running paths, an infinity pool and a tennis court among its amenities. These descriptions identify what the developer presents for each development. They do not establish that the same facilities, access terms or services apply across Meraas's entire portfolio, or that a construction-stage facility is already operating. ## What do Meraas's handover records establish? Meraas's handover entries establish the milestones the developer reports for the named projects or phases. Its [about page](https://meraas.com/en/about-us), checked 27 October 2026, supplies the dates in the table. They are attributed developer records, rather than independent completion verification. A handover date alone also does not compare the original contractual schedule with the actual handover. Establishing that comparison would require the relevant original schedule and matching phase-specific records. This profile makes no portfolio-wide conclusion about delivery timing. A worked example shows the distinction. Meraas records **Central Park Building 1** with a handover date of **1 November 2024** on its about page. For **Bluewaters Bay**, Meraas instead cites an internal construction inspection dated **14 September 2026** on the [project page](https://meraas.com/en/project/bluewaters-bay). The first is a reported handover milestone for a named building; the second is a dated construction observation for a separate project. Neither record supplies the other's status. ## What does the dated Bluewaters Bay progress record say? Bluewaters Bay's published progress record separates Meraas's internal inspection on **14 September 2026** from the RERA inspection on **25 August 2026** quoted by Meraas. RERA is Dubai's Real Estate Regulatory Agency. Both inspection dates appear in the footnote to the [project page's Development Progression section](https://meraas.com/en/project/bluewaters-bay), checked 27 October 2026. The page also separates overall progress from building works, substructure, superstructure and infrastructure. Those labels describe different scopes of work. A measure for one component cannot be read as the completion measure for the entire project, and observations from different inspection dates cannot be merged into a single current percentage. This profile omits percentages because the essential comparison is between named records, their scope and their dates. It does not convert either inspection into a handover date or a projected completion date. :::aside{title="How the inspection is attributed"} The RERA inspection reference above is Meraas's quotation of an inspection. The source is the developer's website. No project-specific result from the regulator's public lookup was obtained for this profile, so the quoted observation is not presented as a directly verified authority record. ::: ## How can a Meraas project record be verified? The Dubai Land Department (DLD), Dubai's property registration authority, provides a public [Project Status Enquiry](https://dubailand.gov.ae/en/eservices/real-estate-project-status-landing/real-estate-project-status/). As checked 27 October 2026, the page offers a search by project name or project number. A project-specific verification record needs the returned project's identity, registered developer, stated stage and update date kept together. A community name alone does not identify every project inside it. The public search page is the verification route linked here; its unfilled interface is not a result for Central Park Building 1, Bluewaters Bay or another Meraas project. The evidence in this profile therefore remains explicitly separated: Meraas's corporate description, its portfolio attributions, its reported handover dates and its construction-update references. ## Meraas questions, checked 27 October 2026 ::::faq :::faq-item{q="Who owns Meraas?"} Meraas's official about page places it within Dubai Holding Real Estate. The group and the Meraas development brand have different scopes; group figures need to retain their group attribution. ::: :::faq-item{q="Are Meraas and Nakheel the same developer?"} Meraas's about page presents them separately within the wider Dubai Holding Real Estate context. A shared group relationship does not make every Nakheel project a Meraas project. ::: :::faq-item{q="Which Meraas projects have published handover dates?"} The about page names Cherrywoods, La Vie, Bulgari Ocean Mansions and Central Park Building 1 with the dates reproduced in the table. These are Meraas-reported handovers for those exact entries, not an independently verified total of the developer's completed portfolio. ::: :::faq-item{q="Are Bluewaters Bay and Bluewaters Residences the same project?"} Meraas's Bluewaters page lists them separately. The dated Bluewaters Bay construction update applies to Bay, rather than Residences or the whole island. ::: :::faq-item{q="Does the Bluewaters Bay page provide a direct RERA lookup?"} It quotes a RERA inspection date within Meraas's construction update. A direct project-specific authority result would be a separate record from DLD's public Project Status Enquiry. ::: :::: :::callout{variant="info" title="Before you act"} This profile is general information, not financial, legal, or investment advice.
