Emaar in Dubai: Porto View and the developer's other projects for a US buyer
Emaar is the developer behind six projects in the Orven selection. Porto View's published starting price at Rashid Yachts & Marina, the townhouse option it adds to the marina address, and how a US-based buyer reserves and wires funds remotely.
A published starting price and a townhouse option
Two features move Porto View to the top of the list our advisers show a US-based buyer looking at Emaar for the first time: a developer-advertised starting price, one of only two published across Emaar's six-project range in the Orven selection, and a unit mix that adds three-bedroom townhouses to the usual apartment range.
The six Emaar projects in the Orven selection
| Project | District | Unit types | Starting price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Porto View | Rashid Yachts & Marina | 1 to 3 bedroom apartments, 3 bedroom townhouses | From AED 1.93 million* |
| Fior 1 | Rashid Yachts & Marina | 1 to 3 bedroom apartments | From AED 2.2 million* |

| Greencrest | Dubai Hills Estate | 1 to 3 bedroom apartments | On request |
| Terra Woods | Expo Living, Dubai South | 1 to 3 bedroom apartments, townhouses | On request |

*Developer-advertised starting prices. Current units and prices require confirmation with your adviser. Our full Emaar developer profile covers all six without any company-level figures: no founding year, no count of units delivered by Emaar.
What Porto View offers
Porto View places apartments and townhouses beside the marina at Rashid Yachts & Marina, with two buildings sharing a landscaped podium and outdoor leisure spaces. Published amenities include an infinity pool, a fitness centre, children's play areas, landscaped gardens and multipurpose rooms. No payment plan has been published: your adviser confirms the schedule that applies to the unit you select, from the sales documents in force on the day. Our Porto View project guide and our Rashid Yachts & Marina district guide go further into the address and its neighbouring project, Fior 1.
Porto View versus Fior 1
Both projects share the same waterfront address. The difference is the unit mix: Porto View adds three-bedroom townhouses on top of its apartment range, while Fior 1 remains apartments only, from one to three bedrooms. Fior 1's published starting price is higher, from AED 2.2 million against AED 1.93 million for Porto View, though both figures are developer-advertised and the unit available on the day you enquire may sit above them.
The other four projects
Creek Waters, on Creek Island, offers the widest unit range among the six, up to a five-bedroom duplex penthouse. Greencrest, in Dubai Hills Estate, centres on golf course views. Terra Woods, within Expo Living in Dubai South, is arranged around courtyards and green pathways. Avena, in The Valley, is Emaar's only villa collection in the range.

Wiring funds and reserving from the United States
- Send your budget and preferred unit type on WhatsApp to +971 52 776 1939 or to sales@orvenproperties.com.
- Your Orven adviser replies with currently available units at Porto View and the schedule that applies to the active sales phase.
- The reservation form and sale agreement are signed electronically, with a copy of your passport.
- The reservation payment is wired to the project's escrow account, held at a UAE bank under Dubai Land Department control.
- Oqood registration follows, and you track construction remotely through the DLD's Project Status Enquiry service.
A US bank applies its own anti-money-laundering checks on an international wire of this size, and will typically ask for the source of funds before releasing a payment abroad. Gather that documentation, along with a copy of the signed sale agreement showing the escrow account, before you initiate the wire.
What to confirm with your own adviser
- US tax reporting obligations for property held abroad and for any rental income earned in Dubai: the UAE itself applies no personal tax on either.
- Bank financing for part of the price, if you plan to use it: available to some non-residents, always subject to the lender's approval.
- The exact payment schedule and cancellation terms written into your sale agreement once a unit is identified, since Porto View's schedule is not published in advance.
