Overview
Mackerel is a boutique residential development by Tarrad Development taking shape in Dubai Islands. The composition reads as a contemporary residential statement on the community’s skyline. Interiors carry a calibrated material palette, generous glazing and efficient apartment layouts optimised for daily living.
Positioning is firmly in the upper-mid bracket and benefits from Dubai Islands’s settled urban fabric. On-site facilities include swimming pool, gym, kids room, landscaped garden, 24/7 security, concierge and barbecue area. The project delivers 8 residences with handover scheduled for Q3 2026 and starting prices from AED 2,794,269.
For end users and investors alike, Mackerel pairs Dubai Islands’s established residential context with Tarrad Development’s delivery profile. On-site facilities and the surrounding daily-needs catchment combine to support both end-user living and rental absorption, with secondary-market liquidity backed by the wider area’s investment fundamentals.
Location
Dubai Islands extends off the Deira coastline, accessed via Al Khaleej Road and tied into Dubai International Airport (DXB) within ten minutes. The 17-square-kilometre masterplan layers waterfront residential clusters, a marina district and a planned hospitality belt.
Access runs through Al Khaleej Road and Al Khaleej Tunnel, with planned bus-network upgrades and proximity to the Gold Souk metro corridor.
Nakheel’s masterplan introduces a new waterfront retail and F&B catchment alongside the existing Deira retail belt and the Gold Souk catchment.
Education needs are covered by the surrounding Dubai Islands school network, with international schools across the wider catchment. Healthcare needs are covered by the surrounding medical network, with the wider Dubai hospital catchment within a short driving range.
Dubai Islands is one of Nakheel’s flagship coastal projects with continued investment in beach clubs, marina facilities and a planned hospitality cluster. The masterplan reinforces Dubai Islands’ position as the eastern coastal anchor.
From an investment standpoint, Dubai Islands offers a new waterfront premium with strong masterplan delivery; capital growth potential is high, yields are moderate, and absorption is supported by the area’s flagship status. Tenant base mixes international owner-occupiers, short-let traffic and upper-middle-income families.

Developer
Tarrad has been part of Dubai’s residential story since the early 2000s, specialising in mid-rise and high-rise homes and integrated community formats across the city’s urban and suburban districts. The developer builds for the way Dubai actually lives – connected, amenity-rich neighbourhoods rather than isolated towers.
Operating at a measured scale, Tarrad keeps an active pipeline with several recently completed and ongoing projects, announcing new launches in step with market conditions. Its homes sit in the mid and upper-mid tier, and its forward focus stays on residential projects in the emirate’s established and emerging urban and coastal locations. For investors seeking a grounded developer with real staying power, Tarrad rewards a closer look. Browse Tarrad’s projects with Ultra DXB.
