D-Marin named Marina consultant for 204-berth BAYN project by Ora Developers

Real estate firm Ora Developers is moving full steam ahead with its upcoming UAE project, BAYN, with an update on the construction of the development’s nautical facility.

The Egyptian company has appointed D-Marin to oversee Bayn Marina, the 204-berth site in which the global marina operator will act as a consultant. 

Under this remit, D-Marin will bring technical knowledge, support the marina’s design, and provide regional expertise. D-Marin’s market knowledge stems from its seven UAE properties:  Al Seef, Jaddaf Waterfront, Marasi Bay, Marsa Al Arab, Port De La Mer, Palm Jumeirah and Dubai Islands. 

Marsa Al Arab Marina was recently awarded triple accreditation by The Yacht Harbour Association.

The project, located within the 4.8 million-square-meter Bayn masterplan in Ghantoot, is tucked in between Dubai and Abu Dhabi. 

Alongside a 204-berth marina, the facility boasts 1.2 km of private beachfront, a five-star resort and beach club, and food-and-beverage promenades. 

With its strategic location, Y Views at Bayn sits approximately 30-50 minutes from Dubai International Airport and Abu Dhabi’s Yas Island. 

“D-Marin is committed to premium, sustainable, and innovative marina management across the Mediterranean and the UAE. We are delighted to be trusted by ORA Developers to provide the technical consultancy required to design a project that truly suits market demand. Our goal is to ensure the marina is perfectly positioned for long-term success by optimising investment costs through strategic berth-mix planning and leveraging our global operational expertise. We look forward to bringing a world-class yachting experience to this landmark development,” said Selcuk Balci, D-Marin Dubai managing director

“BAYN is built around a clear vision for this coastline. The marina is central to that vision, and its design will reflect the same standards of quality and environmental responsibility that define every element of this masterplan. That commitment extends from design to delivery and the long-term resident experience. Ghantoot is one of the last undeveloped coastlines on the Arabian Gulf, with a natural character that places a clear responsibility on how we build thoughtfully. D-Marin brings the operational expertise and environmental stewardship that this coastline deserves. We look forward to working with them as we bring BAYN’s waterfront vision to life,” added Parvin Mansoor Al Awadhi, Head of Development and Design, ORA Developers,
