Confidence tags mark evidence strength. The portal open is a filter, not a negotiated unit quote. ^[4]

Shores is sold as its own product, not as “whatever is left in Meriva.” After you shortlist a plan, check that the booking form and sale contract already print Meriva Shores (and the A or B block if the pack uses those labels). ^{[4] [5]}

Price ladder in public data. The portal open is AED 2.7M. ^[4] Dated PF sold rows step higher: roughly AED 3.4M for a 1-bed (~923 sqft), AED 4.7M for a 2-bed (~1,436 sqft), AED 6.8M for a 3-bed (~1,743 sqft), and one 4-bed near AED 22.7M on ~4,579 sqft. ^[4] Parent-collection DLD samples under MERIVA SHORES A/B echo several of those prices. ^[6]

Beds and areas. PF About sells 1–3 bedroom homes plus penthouses, while size tables still say “coming soon.” ^[4] Propsearch brochure notes start 1-bed corners near 1,007 sqft, 2-beds near 1,272, 2-bed + study near 1,376, 3-beds near 1,747, and 4-beds near 3,176. ^[5] That 4-bed band sits next to PF’s 1–3BR marketing line — treat beds and saleable area as form-locked facts only.

How big is the release? Propsearch pegs Shores at about 179 residences in a two-building complex. ^[5] PF’s key information still prints one building. ^[4] That is the main structure conflict on this page.

Amenity chips on PF and Propsearch list pools, gym, gardens, kids’ play, F&B, CCTV and beach/lagoon language. ^{[4] [5]} None of that replaces approved drawings for your unit.

Gallery frames are self-hosted marketing stills from the PF Shores card and Propsearch Shores guide; some show wider collection massing. ^{[4] [5]}

Keys research stamp. Property Finder shows June 2030, Q2 2030, and expected completion 1 June 2030. Propsearch Shores repeats Q2 2030. ^{[4] [5]} Your binding date is the sale contract plus the formal handover notice.

Programme notes. PF lists construction start 19 February 2026. ^[4] Parent Meriva launch press sits in February 2026. ^[7] Propsearch still labels Shores Planned while PF shows works started — stage language is soft until site evidence or developer updates agree.

Public cash-flow sketch. PF Standard plan is 20% at booking, 50% during works, 30% at keys. ^[4] Ellington also hosts a collection-level Payment Plan PDF on its assets CDN. ^{[3] [1]}

Rebuild the calendar from the instalment table printed for your Shores unit. Portal percentages and secondary 60/40 agent chips are research only. ^[4]

Open price reminder. AED 2.7M is a filter floor; sold samples climb well above it. ^[4]

Builder hub: Ellington Properties. Parent brief: The Meriva Collection. Boutique sibling already published: Meriva Signature. Sunset and Gardens appear on portals as further Meriva labels — different shortlists. ^[4]

Master geography: Dubai Islands. Island waterfront inventory is not the same as Ellington’s DSO or Palm Crescent stock. ^{[1] [2] [4]} Brochure drive times stay marketing copy.

Decide on Shores first as the residence you are shortlisting. Afterwards, confirm the booking pack and sale contract already print Meriva Shores (and the A/B block if shown) — buyers check Ellington’s fixed forms; they do not author them. ^[4]

1. Product mix-up — Shores, Signature, Sunset, Gardens and the parent collection are different labels. A vague “Meriva on Dubai Islands” pack is not enough. ^{[4] [1]}
2. Tower count disagrees — two buildings on Propsearch/DLD A+B vs one building on PF. Confirm the block. ^{[5] [4]}
3. Bed and size soft spots — 1–3BR portal About vs Propsearch 4-bed starts and a large 4-bed sold sample. ^{[4] [5]}
4. Open price is a filter — AED 2.7M is not a commitment; samples run much higher. ^[4]
5. Payment and keys fields are research stamps until the sale contract and handover notice say otherwise. ^{[4] [3]}
6. Stills and amenity claims — collection imagery and beach/lagoon language do not prove your outlook or facilities. ^{[4] [5]}

No yield forecasts. No artificial scarcity lines.

1. Shortlist Meriva Shores (and A/B if used) because that is the residence you intend to buy, then verify developer paperwork already shows those names plus the unit ID. Buyers check forms; they do not invent contract text. ^[4]
2. Match saleable area, parking and orientation on official plans — PF size tables are still thin. ^{[4] [5]}
3. Before any booking fee leaves your account, confirm project registration and the escrow account through Dubai Land Department tools.
4. Build cash-flow from the printed milestone dates for your unit; treat 20/50/30 as a sketch until it is on the form. ^[4]
5. Place the quoted AED next to the 2.7M open and any dated sheet you hold. ^[4]
6. Collect written handover wording and set it beside the public June / Q2 2030 field. ^{[4] [5]}
7. Ask whether the stock is primary developer inventory, an assignment, or a resale.
8. Re-read the parent Meriva Collection brief and the Meriva Signature page so the product lines stay distinct. Broader process notes: buyer checks before off-plan money.
