Filed under: Estates

It's been a while (nearly six months) since we heard about a new project going on at the Dubai Marina. The latest development to be announced is Dorra Bay. The project is being built by real estate developers Cayan and is practically a modest project compared to the 80-story twisting Infinity Tower which they are also building in the Dubai Marina. Dorra Bay will be a 22-story residential tower located between the beach and the marina. All apartments will have views of the sea, the marina or the harbor. The building will include one, two and three bedroom apartments, duplexes, garden terrace apartments and penthouses. There will also be summer town houses on the marina front. Amenities include swimming pools, children's play areas, gymnasiums and a business center.
