Investor overview
Umm Al Quwain does not have a publicly available, detailed transaction database comparable to Dubai’s DLD records. Emirate-wide figures are therefore drawn from Bayut’s asking-price index, which combines several property types as well as completed and off-plan properties. It is not a measure of achieved sale prices. Canalside Marina Residences at Sobha Siniya Island is shown separately as a specific entry-price example. The project remains under construction and therefore has no observed rental yield; neither future yield nor price appreciation can responsibly be quantified.
Data scope
Two distinct datasets: the emirate-wide Umm Al Quwain asking-price index and off-plan apartments at Canalside Marina Residences.
Period covered
Bayut index: August 2025–August 2026; developer offering: September 2026

Starting price in the off-plan project

Canalside Marina Residences, one- to three-bedroom apartments; developer price, subject to availability.
Target completion

Developer-stated target date for Canalside Marina Residences.
What does the data show?
The developer’s starting price of AED 1.36 million provides a reference point for assessing the Siniya Island project, while specific apartment sizes and completion dates can be verified directly with the developer. The opportunity is primarily suited to a patient buyer with a longer time horizon; the decision should be based on the specific project and contract, not on an emirate-wide yield that cannot yet be measured.
