Marina Place 1: the first phase, with townhouses
Emaar's page presents Marina Place 1 as the first phase of a two-part release at Rashid Yachts & Marina, mixing one-to-three-bedroom apartments with three-bedroom townhouses in the same cluster. Emaar markets the location on its balance of old and new Dubai, minutes from the historic character of Bur Dubai and the port. The townhouse option remains relatively rare within the Mina Rashid portfolio, which otherwise leans heavily toward apartment towers.
Marina Place 2: the same cluster, continued in apartments
Marina Place 2 continues the first phase's cluster at Rashid Yachts & Marina with a further release of one-to-three-bedroom apartments, sharing the same architectural language and amenity podium as its sibling building. Emaar positions the wider Marina Place community on its connectivity, close to the port's historic core.
What really sets the two phases apart
The main difference is the presence of townhouses in Marina Place 1, absent from Marina Place 2. Beyond that, both phases share the same neighbourhood, the same developer and, per the page, the same amenity base. A buyer choosing between the two phases is mainly deciding on unit availability and handover timing rather than any material difference in setting.
Who each one suits
Marina Place 1 suits a buyer specifically after a three-bedroom townhouse, a configuration uncommon at Mina Rashid, or an apartment within the same cluster. Marina Place 2 suits a buyer looking purely for an apartment, with no particular interest in the townhouse format, who may find different availability depending on the release phase.

Why the phase matters as much as the project itself
In a multi-phase release like Marina Place, the question is not only "apartment or townhouse" but also "which phase still has stock today". An earlier-launched phase may be nearly sold out, while a more recent phase offers more choice on floor or orientation. Ask your adviser for a status check on both phases before settling on one, rather than assuming they offer the same availability.
DLD fees and escrow on an off-plan purchase
Since both phases are sold off-plan, instalments are paid into an escrow account controlled by the Dubai Land Department, whose progress can be tracked through the "Project Status Enquiry" service. The Dubai Land Department registration fee runs at 4% of the purchase price, on top of the price and the payment plan. Since price is on request for both projects, no DLD fee amount can be calculated here; your adviser will confirm it once your unit's price is known.
Escrow and Oqood apply the same way to both phases
Whether you choose an apartment in Marina Place 1, its townhouses, or an apartment in Marina Place 2, the off-plan payment mechanism is identical: instalments into a Dubai Land Department escrow account, tracked through the "Project Status Enquiry" service, and Oqood registration from reservation through to the title deed at handover. That shared framework means the real differences between the two phases sit in unit type and current availability, not in how safely your money is held.
