EDGE

About EDGE

EDGE is the quiet one. Launched in May 2024 as a yacht-inspired waterfront tower on Raha Island, it has 237 homes across studios, one and two-bedroom apartments and penthouses, from 375 to 1,582 sq ft — the most compact size range in the RAK Properties portfolio.

The design language is nautical — curved balconies, a white and timber palette, an infinity pool facing the lagoon — and the building is positioned on the waterside edge of Raha Island, which is where the name comes from. It is a smaller, calmer proposition than SKAI or Nura: fewer homes, fewer amenities, less club.

What to weigh. The price ladder is clean and the numbers are small: a studio from AED 750,000, a one-bedroom suite from AED 961,000, a one-bedroom premium from AED 1.147 million, a one-bedroom chalet from AED 1.332 million, a two-bedroom from AED 1.82 million and a two-bedroom penthouse from AED 2.856 million. On the published sizes that is roughly AED 2,000 per sq ft at the studio end and about AED 1,800 at the penthouse end — among the lowest per-square-foot rates in the Mina portfolio.

The second consideration is scale. A 237-home building has a smaller owners’ association, a smaller service charge base and fewer units competing with yours at resale. That is a genuine advantage in a masterplan where several thousand apartments are being delivered in the same window.

The third is timing. Q2 2027 is the earliest completion in the Raha Island group after Cape Hayat, and that has two implications: you are buying into a district that will still be under construction when you move in, and you have less time than Nura or Solera buyers to arrange finance or sell the unit on.

The fourth is the plan. A 60/40 with a two-year post-handover option is a structure that assumes you will rent the unit out while you pay for it. That works in Mina if the rent arrives; it does not work if the building hands over into a soft short-let market, which is the risk you are underwriting in any resort community.

Compiled November 2026 from RAK Properties’ EDGE project page and factsheet (unit types, sizes, starting prices, payment plans, amenities, completion) and the listing portal’s project record.

Homes, sizes and price

Six published types with from-prices. The factsheet lists sizes only as a range including balconies, so the price per square foot below is indicative rather than exact.

The published overall range is 375 to 1,582 sq ft, and units include kitchen appliances as standard — unusual at this price point in Ras Al Khaimah, where most developers deliver unfurnished shells.

The gaps between the one-bedroom types are worth noting: suite at AED 961,000, premium at AED 1.147 million, chalet at AED 1.332 million. That is a AED 371,000 spread within one bedroom count, which is a lot of money for position and terrace. Ask to see all three plans side by side before choosing; in a 237-home building the difference between them is often one stack and one elevation.

The penthouse at AED 2.856 million for a two-bedroom is the most unusual number here — roughly AED 1,800 per sq ft at the top of a small building. It is priced closer to a four-bedroom villa in the wider market, so if you are considering it, compare it with Granada II and Marbella II as well as with the apartments.

Price and payment plan

Two plans are published, both 60/40: standard, and a version with two years of post-handover payments. The portal records 10/50/40.

The standard plan asks for 60% of the price before the building exists, which is heavier than most Dubai launches and normal for Ras Al Khaimah developers funding construction without bank debt. If that is uncomfortable, the post-handover version is the one to negotiate, and it is the reason EDGE is often recommended to buyers with rental income in mind.

Ask whether the post-handover instalments carry a markup — many developers price the deferred portion at 5–10% above the cash price rather than charging interest, and the difference is worth several thousand dirhams a year. Get the cash price and the deferred price in writing and compare.

Amenities

EDGE’s published amenities are: a clubhouse, a skating area, an outdoor kids area, a lounge and bar, a pool, an outdoor gym, barbecue areas, an indoor gym, retail and F&B, and a kids club, with a separate infinity pool and pet-friendly spaces.

That is a sensible, well-balanced list rather than a club proposition: the things residents use weekly, without the padel courts and cinemas that push service charges up. For a 237-home building that balance is the right one, and it is part of why the price per square foot is lower than SKAI’s.

The question to ask is about the retail. A small building with retail at ground level depends on the surrounding Raha Island catchment to make those units viable; if the neighbouring plots are not yet built, the café may be empty for a couple of years. Ask which units are pre-let.

Where it is

EDGE is on Raha Island, on the waterside edge facing the lagoon, within Mina Al Arab. Raha is the newer island in the masterplan and the one carrying most of the new residential supply in this portfolio: SKAI, Solera, Nura and EDGE are all on it or immediately beside it.

The location case is the lagoon and the marina, with the beach clubs and the three resort hotels a short drive or walk away depending on where the island’s bridges and promenades land. RAK Properties puts Ras Al Khaimah International Airport at 15 minutes and central Dubai at 45.

The honest caveat: Raha Island is a construction site with a completion programme, and EDGE hands over in Q2 2027, early in that programme. If you want finished surroundings at handover, this is not that building; if you want a lagoon-side address at the lowest per-square-foot price in the portfolio, it is.
