RAK Properties has introduced Solera, a new apartment community on Raha Island that marks the first development within its upcoming Downtown Mina district. This project aims to create a vibrant urban environment in Ras Al Khaimah’s waterfront area.
Project overview
Solera comprises 451 residential units spread across three architecturally distinct buildings connected by a shared podium. The apartments range from 386 to 3,104 sq.ft, with prices starting from Dhs 768,000. The community is designed to offer easy access to retail, food and beverage outlets, landscaped parks, covered walkways, and communal spaces.
Amenities
Residents will have access to a 40-meter infinity-edge lap pool, a children’s pool and splash pad, and the Solera Flame Pavilion, an outdoor BBQ kitchen. A
dditional facilities include a sculptural garden, telescope corner, hammock garden, skateboard park, and a gym. The community also features The NOOK, a social lounge and co-working space tailored for entrepreneurs and remote workers.
Sameh Muhtadi, CEO of RAK Properties, said: “We are proud to launch Solera, the first chapter in the Downtown Mina story. With Solera, we are adding diversity to our product mix and creating new neighbourhoods that add to Mina’s overall character. As we continue to pursue the luxury segment elsewhere in our portfolio, Solera and Downtown Mina bring a whole new vibe to Ras Al Khaimah. Younger, edgier, and designed to appeal to work-from-anywhere professionals and entrepreneurs, Solera will contribute to the changing narrative around the Emirate as more and more investors see its real estate market appeal.”
Muhtadi added: “As we reach the midpoint of our twentieth anniversary year, RAK Properties is making good progress with its 2025 product launch pipeline, a period in which we have launched Mirasol, SKAI, Anantara Mina Ras Al Khaimah Residences, and ENTA in partnership with Hive and A.R.M Holding. This is also a year in which we are focusing on delivery – with over 3,000 homes under construction, we are targeting the handover of more than 800 to customers this year. As attention continues to focus on the future opening of the Wynn Resort, we are well placed to deliver more homes in RAK before Q1 2027 than any other developer operating in the Emirate. This will ensure that investors see immediate gains from the introduction of this major resort.”
Downtown Mina is planned to include six integrated residential communities, all positioned to offer close proximity to the wider Mina master plan amenities and lifestyle offerings.
