Dubai, UAE — AMIS Development, a UAE-based real estate firm founded in 2016, has launched The Tides, a residential project on Dubai Islands. The development features fully furnished units designed for modern living, with sizes ranging from 812 to 4,433 square feet. Configurations include one-bedroom apartments with a study, two-bedroom and three-bedroom apartments, and four-bedroom townhouses on G+2 floors, with prices starting from AED 2.1 million.
The residences incorporate smart home integration, bespoke fitted kitchens, and high-quality appliances. Interior finishes include premium tiles, lacquered cabinet doors, and sanitary ware from renowned brands, reflecting the developer’s focus on craftsmanship. Completion is scheduled for April 2028, supported by a 50-50 payment plan requiring only 5% on booking.
Neeraj Mishra, Founder and CEO of AMIS Development, said: “The Tides is a testament to our vision of creating world-class residential developments that blend modern luxury with sustainable living. This is our first project in Dubai Islands, offering a unique opportunity to live in a serene and vibrant community, while remaining well-connected to the heart of Dubai.”
Location and Amenities
The Tides sits along Dubai’s northern coastline on Dubai Islands, providing sea views, lush landscapes, and proximity to Deira, Downtown Dubai, and Dubai International Airport. The site benefits from improved connectivity via the Infinity Bridge, opened in March 2025, linking Deira and Bur Dubai with a 13 km expressway.

Amenities span multiple levels. The rooftop includes an infinity pool, children’s pool, play area, BBQ facilities, outdoor cinema, and family lounge. The first floor offers a nature park, Zen garden, outdoor yoga area, multi-purpose party hall, cross-fit gym, and bocce court. The ground floor features a grand reception lobby and waiting lounge.
This setup aligns with Dubai Islands’ master plan, which emphasizes mixed-use communities, waterfront access, and sustainability under the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan. The area spans over 60 km of waterfront and 20 km of beaches, positioning it as a hub for livable coastal districts.
Market Context
Dubai’s off-plan property sales have surged in 2025, reaching AED 79.34 billion in Q3 alone, with off-plan deals comprising 70% of residential transactions. Dubai Islands recorded over 2,075 unit sales in the first half of the year, a 109% increase, totaling AED 5.6 billion and driving average off-plan apartment prices to AED 2,340 per square foot—a 16% semi-annual rise. This growth reflects broader trends, including a 28% year-on-year increase in off-plan sales exceeding AED 68 billion in Q2, fueled by foreign investment and flexible developer plans.

The mid-luxury segment, like The Tides, taps into rising demand for sustainable, community-focused developments. Knight Frank’s Q1 2025 report notes apartment prices at AED 1,749 per square foot, up 17.6% from the 2014 peak. Industry reports highlight Dubai Islands’ appeal for tourism-driven properties, with expected rental yields of 7-9%, outpacing inland areas.
Sustainability features, such as green spaces and energy-efficient designs, align with UAE’s green initiatives, including expanded parks and eco-resorts covering 2 km². These elements support Dubai’s goal of 60% of residents living within a five-minute walk of green areas by 2040.
Opportunities for Indian Investors
Indian investors, the largest group in Dubai’s real estate, face evolving visa options in 2025. The UAE’s revised Golden Visa program now allows lifetime residency for AED 100,000 via skill-based nominations, reducing reliance on AED 2 million property investments for eligibility. This shift encourages value-driven purchases over residency speculation, potentially stabilizing mid-market segments like The Tides.

No capital gains or rental income taxes apply, with only a 4% Dubai Land Department fee, boosting net returns of 6-8% annually. Under India’s Liberalised Remittance Scheme, NRIs can remit up to USD 250,000 yearly for property, making off-plan buys accessible. Proximity—3-4 hours from major Indian cities—and freehold ownership in designated zones add appeal. Experts from Property Kumbh recommend consulting firms for legal steps, funding via NRE accounts, and focusing on high-ROI areas like Dubai Islands for 5-8% price growth tied to projects such as Al Maktoum International Airport.
The Economic Times reports August 2025 transactions hit AED 51.1 billion, with Indians driving apartment sales up 29.2% year-on-year. Zawya notes mid-luxury demand rising amid visa reforms, positioning coastal projects for strong appreciation.
The Tides launch underscores Dubai Islands’ emergence as an affordable waterfront hotspot, with entry prices below established areas like Palm Jumeirah. For Indian investors, it offers a balanced entry into mid-luxury coastal living, leveraging tax advantages and yields amid 130% projected upside. This development signals sustained growth in sustainable communities, enhancing long-term value for residents and portfolios seeking diversification beyond traditional markets. As off-plan surges continue, such projects provide practical footholds in Dubai’s resilient economy.
