The second phase of construction began in 2016 and it involved building the 846 ft. tall Marina Gate 2, which is still under construction. The final of the trio, the 736 ft.

This upcoming building will be managed by Jumeirah Group International ' an international luxury hotel chain - while being under the ownership of Select Group.
With modern interiors to match, the construction involves international-standard architecture that is defined by cutting-edge glass, steel and concrete forms. The architect behind Marina Gate's iconic design is Aedas. The buildings' curtain walls/claddings have been provided by Cladtech International LLC (CTI), a renowned façade consultant.
The tri-tower flagship residential project of Marina Gate features an impressive choice of rental and freehold properties such as studios, 1 to 5-bedroom flats, serviced apartments, penthouses and villas. The three towers are connected to each other by walkways through a terraced and an eight-level podium. The mezzanine and ground floors will feature a retail mall with around 50 outlets, a supermarket, salons, a gym and sports facilities.
The podium will also house over 1,400 villas and other tree-lined recreational areas. It faces Arabian Gulf from one side and is bordered by the picturesque marina on the other.
