Dubai Maritime City apartments for sale: Hilton Residences vs Chelsea Residences
In Dubai Maritime City, Orven's selection holds Hilton Residences (1 to 3 bedrooms and penthouses, 20/40/40 payment plan, price on request) and Chelsea Residences by DAMAC, the only project here with published prices: 1 bed from AED 2.17 million, on a 60/40 plan.
Dubai Maritime City apartments for sale in Orven's selection come from two projects on the same peninsula: Hilton Residences by Prestige One, with one- to three-bedroom residences and penthouses on a published 20/40/40 payment plan but price on request, and Chelsea Residences by DAMAC, the one project here with published brochure prices, starting at AED 2.17 million for a one-bedroom on a 60/40 plan. Both sit within Dubai Maritime City, but they answer different questions: one gives you a firm payment structure without a price, the other gives you a firm price with a different structure.
The two projects, compared
| Project | Published unit types | Starting price | Payment plan |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hilton Residences | 1 to 3 bedrooms and penthouses | On request | 20% reservation, 40% construction, 40% handover |
| Chelsea Residences | 1 to 3 bedrooms, Legends Collection units | 1 bed AED 2.17M, 2 bed AED 3.13M, 3 bed AED 4.94M | 20% reservation, 40 x 1% monthly (months 3 to 42), 40% handover (= 60/40) |
\* Chelsea prices are from the developer's brochure supplied to Orven, subject to availability. Chelsea's estimated completion (ACD) is December 2029, per that same brochure.
Hilton Residences: branded waterfront living, price on request
Hilton Residences brings branded residences to Dubai Maritime City, with an infinity swimming pool, wellness deck, cinema lawn and a sky lounge among its published amenities. The published payment plan is 20% at reservation, 40% during construction and 40% at handover. No starting price has been released for any of its one- to three-bedroom residences or penthouses; your adviser requests the current figure directly from Prestige One once you specify the unit type.
Chelsea Residences: the priced option, with the Legends Collection
Chelsea Residences by DAMAC sits on the rivage neighbouring J1 Beach and the Maritime Beach and Yacht Club, with amenities that include Chelsea Lion Beach, a beach club, an athlete training centre, a football simulation room and a spa. Its brochure prices, supplied by Orven's developer contact and subject to availability, are AED 2.17 million for one bedroom, AED 3.13 million for two bedrooms and AED 4.94 million for three bedrooms. The Legends Collection adds themed units named after Lampard, Zola, Drogba and Terry within the development. The published payment plan spreads 20% at reservation across 40 monthly instalments of 1% each, from month three to month 42, with the remaining 40% due at handover, plus the Dubai Land Department's 4% fee on top of the deposit. Estimated completion (ACD) is December 2029, per the brochure.

Choosing between the two
If a fixed, published payment structure without a price commitment suits your planning better, Hilton Residences' 20/40/40 gives you that. If you would rather anchor your budget to a firm number today, Chelsea Residences is the one with brochure prices, starting from AED 2.17 million, roughly 591,000 USD at the fixed 1 USD = 3.6725 AED rate, for reference only. Both projects sit inside Dubai Maritime City, so the choice comes down to payment structure versus price certainty rather than location. For the wider peninsula context, see the Dubai Maritime City district guide, which covers both projects together, living in Dubai Maritime City: a peninsula guide for the day-to-day setting beyond these two projects, and the apartments for sale in Dubai hub for the full selection sorted by size.
Registration fees and the Golden Visa
A Dubai Land Department registration fee of 4% applies to completed sales, plus Chelsea's own DLD fee noted above on the deposit; off-plan units register through Oqood at a fixed fee. A purchase of AED 2 million or more, such as any Chelsea two- or three-bedroom unit, or a higher-priced Hilton unit once confirmed, can support a Golden Visa application, subject to conditions confirmed with the relevant authorities.
