Dubai
Waterfront islands, marina towers and city-side communities, each with a different character. I start from your brief, not from a brochure.
Who it suits
Dubai Islands, Dubai Marina and Palm Jumeirah put the sea, marinas and beaches at the front door.
Business Bay, beside the canal and close to Downtown, puts you in the middle of the city rather than on its edge.
Jumeirah Village Circle, Jumeirah Village Triangle and Meydan sit inland. Several of their projects start at lower prices than the waterfront ones; each project's page shows current figures.
The areas
Dubai Islands
Dubai Islands is Nakheel's maritime project: five islands across 17 km². Each has its own focus, from retail and entertainment to marinas, beaches, golf and ultra-luxury living.
Soma Residences, by Origami Development, is a low-rise building of 44 homes with planted balconies and a rooftop for residents. See Soma Residences.
Dubai Marina and Palm Jumeirah
Dubai Marina is a dense waterfront district of towers around a marina; Palm Jumeirah is the palm-shaped island off the coast. Both are among the city's most recognised addresses, and the projects there are premium offerings. Franck Muller Aeternitas is a tower in Dubai Marina. Open its page.
Meydan
Meydan sits inland of the coast and close to central Dubai, away from the beachfront. Rabdan Avenue and Rabdan Square are two Rabdan projects there. See Rabdan Avenue.

More general questions are answered on the home page and in how it works.
It depends on your brief. Waterfront buyers usually look at Dubai Islands, Dubai Marina or Palm Jumeirah. Buyers who want a central, city-side address look at Business Bay. Buyers who want a larger residential community, often at a lower entry price, look at areas such as Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC), Jumeirah Village Triangle (JVT) or Meydan. Send a brief and I will tell you which of these actually fit.
Most of the developer-direct projects in Palmera's Dubai catalogue are off-plan, meaning they are still to be built; a few are ready. Each project's page states its stage and its handover date, and those details are kept current by Palmera.

Budget, purpose and timing are enough for a first shortlist.
I read your brief and ask a short follow-up only if something is unclear.
I narrow the fit to the few projects in Dubai or Ras Al Khaimah that suit it.
