Bluewaters Island
Bluewaters Island is Meraas's purpose-built destination island connected to JBR via pedestrian bridge, anchored by Ain Dubai and a single mixed-use waterfront cluster. Inventory is concentrated and turnover relatively slow; the entire island operates as a single product whose value derives from the destination, not from any individual tower.
