The dates are our estimate: we spread the construction share evenly between now and the keys. The developer's real dates follow the building work, so they can move.
Your payments go into the project's escrow account, which RERA watches, not straight to the developer.
Before you buy
Pay into the project's escrow account only.
Every off-plan project in Dubai must have an escrow account at a bank, watched by RERA. Pay into that account, never to a person. Ask for the account number.
Budget for the service charge.
Buildings in this area paid a median of AED 14 per sq ft a year in 2023, from 9 buildings on the Dubai Land Department register. For the smallest home (801 sq ft) that is about AED 11,000 a year.
Register the sale with Oqood.
The Land Department records off-plan sales in its Oqood register. Until your sale is on it, the home isn't in your name.

Gross yield is a year's rent before costs, as a share of the price. At the from price: AED 58,500 ÷ AED 990,000 = 5.9%. The home earns nothing until the keys, and new buildings often rent for more than older ones.
Rents come from Ejari, Dubai's register of rent contracts: new residential contracts in the area, all buildings. A median is the middle one: half are lower, half higher.

In the 12 months to October 2026, the Dubai Land Department recorded 2,865 off-plan one-bedroom sales in Dubai World Central. The price check puts this project's from price per square foot 22% below their median. That figure covers the whole area, so ask which unit the from price applies to.
The plan is 10% on booking, 20% during construction and 70% at handover. At the from price you pay AED 99,000 on booking, AED 198,000 during the build and AED 693,000 at handover, listed for September 2028, about 22 months from now.

Shared facilities include a pool with family cabanas, a gym, a yoga area, a play area, barbecue spaces, a lounge and an outdoor cinema.
A polyclinic is about 900 m away, around 5 minutes by car. Greenfield International School is about 11 minutes by car and South View School about 16. Expo 2020 Metro Station is about 8.2 km away, around 26 minutes by car, and Jumeirah Lakes Towers about 34.
