Nura

About Nura

Nura is the building RAK Properties describes as the moment Mina stops being a resort and becomes a city. It sits on the central boulevard of Downtown Mina, with retail and restaurants at ground level, and it is the first residential address on that street rather than behind it.

It is a 312-home pair of towers running from studios and premium studios through one, two and three-bedroom apartments to two four-bedroom penthouses, from 375 to 2,754 sq ft. Five view categories are marketed — park, sea, harbour, skyline and boulevard — which is an unusually honest way of saying that the building is surrounded by different things.

What to weigh. The price ladder is the clearest in the portfolio, so use it. A studio of 375–420 sq ft starts at AED 800,000; a premium studio of 514 sq ft at AED 1 million; one-bedrooms from AED 1.24 million and AED 1.52 million depending on type; two-bedrooms from AED 1.98 million to AED 2.52 million; three-bedrooms from AED 3.47 million; and two four-bedroom penthouses from AED 5.9 million.

The per-square-foot numbers tell you where the value is. The studio entry is about AED 2,120 per sq ft, the one-bedroom premium about AED 1,990, and the two-bedroom premium — which runs up to 2,465 sq ft — lands near AED 1,020 per sq ft at its largest. That last figure is not a bargain; it is what a 2,465 sq ft “two-bedroom” means. Ask for the layout before reading anything into the rate.

Location is the second consideration. A boulevard address in a new downtown is the best and worst of both worlds: you get retail and life at ground level, and you get traffic, deliveries and construction noise from the plots either side. Ask which plots are built, which are under construction and which are still being marketed, and ask which elevation your unit faces.

Third, timing. Nura completes in Q1 2029, the latest in this portfolio, which gives the district more time to fill in and gives you more time to pay — on a 40/60 that is 40% over roughly two and a half years. It also means you are buying the longest-dated risk in the group, and the market’s view of Ras Al Khaimah in 2029 is not something anyone can promise you.

Compiled November 2026 from RAK Properties’ Nura project page and factsheet (unit counts, sizes, starting prices, payment plans, completion, amenities and proximity), its December 2025 launch announcement and the listing portal’s project record.

Homes, sizes and price

This is the fullest price list RAK Properties publishes for any building in the portfolio: eight types, each with a unit count, a size band and a starting price. It is a genuine schedule rather than a headline.

The unit counts are as useful as the prices. One hundred and three one-bedroom premiums and 52 two-bedroom premiums make this a rental building with a small trophy tail — six three-bedrooms and two penthouses. That mix tells you the tenant pool is professionals and couples, and that the top of the building will not set the tone for the rest.

The 2-bedroom premium is the anomaly: 1,189 to 2,465 sq ft is a 1,276 sq ft spread under one label. At the top of that band you are paying AED 2.52 million for what is effectively a large three-bedroom layout with two bedrooms, at about AED 1,020 per sq ft. Ask for the plan of the unit you are being quoted.

The portal’s from-price of AED 1.297 million sits just above the one-bedroom suite entry, which suggests the advertised stock is a one-bedroom rather than the AED 800,000 studio. If you want the studio, the portal is not showing you the bottom of this building.

Price and payment plan

Two plans are published: standard 40/60 and special 60/40. The portal records a third structure, 10/30/60, which is close to the standard plan but lighter during construction.

On a Q1 2029 completion, the standard plan means 40% spread over roughly two and a half years and 60% at the end. That is the right shape for a buyer who intends to finance at handover and the wrong shape for one who will not qualify — the last cheque is the one banks are least willing to underwrite on an off-plan purchase.

Add the 4% RAK Land Department fee and the developer’s admin charge, and check whether the construction instalments are calendar-based or linked to progress. On a building completing in 2029, milestone-linked payments are worth asking for explicitly.

Amenities

Nura’s amenity list is the longest published in the portfolio, and it is outdoor-led: a rooftop deck with infinity pool, a 25-metre lap pool with shallow lounging pool, a lazy pool and splash pool, outdoor gym and clubhouse, padel court with lounge, pets park with washing area, outdoor cinema, children’s indoor play, mini golf, pétanque, trampoline field, skate bowl, barbecue pavilion, 85-metre jogging tunnel, rock climbing wall, yoga deck and a drone pad.

That is a serious amenity programme for a 312-home building, and it is clearly aimed at the same buyer Solera is aimed at: young, active, likely working from home, likely to value a padel court over a concierge. The trade-off is the same one, and the answer is the same: ask what it costs per square foot to run.

The technology list is also published — 24/7 security, access-controlled lobbies, EV charging, advanced fire systems. In a building completing in 2029, EV charging and access control are baseline rather than differentiators; the questions worth asking are who operates the systems, what the subscription costs and whether the developer or the owners’ association owns them after handover.

Where it is

Nura is on Mina’s central boulevard, in the heart of the Downtown Mina district on Raha Island, adjacent to a community park and within walking distance of Downtown Harbour and Mina Marina. Retail and restaurants occupy the ground floor, which is either the reason to buy or the reason to ask which floor you are on.

The proximity numbers published with Nura are the most useful in the portfolio: 10 minutes to Wynn Al Marjan Island, 20 minutes to Ras Al Khaimah International Airport and 60 minutes to Dubai International. RAK Properties separately puts central Dubai at 45 minutes by car.

The Wynn number is worth pausing on. It is the single largest demand driver in the emirate’s rental market and it is one asset with one opening date; a ten-minute drive from a casino resort is a real advantage for short lets and a real concentration risk for a long-term hold. Buy on the fundamentals — the boulevard, the park, the marina — and treat the casino as upside you are not paying for.
