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.
This project's escrow account is at the bank named on the register above, watched by RERA. Pay into that account, never to a person.
Budget for the service charge.
Once the building is finished you pay a yearly service charge per sq ft, set from the building's budget and approved by RERA. Ask IQUNA Properties for the estimate.
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.

Avida Residences' from price per square foot is about 23% below 1,663 one-bedroom off-plan sales on Dubai Islands over the 12 months to October 2026. The IQUNA Properties building has 1- to 3-bedroom apartments from AED 1,790,000, with a listed handover of December 2027.
The Dubai Land Department lists 1,663 one-bedroom off-plan sales on Dubai Islands in the 12 months to October 2026. The from price per square foot is about 23% below their median. Those sales were across the area, not in this building, so ask for the price per square foot of your exact unit.
The plan is 20% on booking, 40% during construction and 40% at handover. At the from price that is AED 358,000 on booking, AED 716,000 during construction and AED 716,000 at handover. The listed handover is December 2027. Separately, the 4% DLD fee comes to AED 71,600; ask when it is due.
The listing gives about 816 sq ft for one bedroom, 1,311 sq ft for two and 1,563 sq ft for three, with sizes up to 2,600 sq ft overall. It also mentions penthouses but lists only apartments, so ask whether any are on sale. The developer presents it as a wellness building, with rooftop pools, gardens, infrared saunas and suites for longevity consultations, plus a gym, a children's pool and play area and 24/7 security. Interiors are by Sneha Divias Atelier, and homes have balconies.
Deira Islands Beach is about 1.3 km away and Dubai Hospital about 1.8 km. The nearest school, Amna Bint Wahab Secondary Girls School, is about 2.2 km away. Gold Souq Metro Station is about 2.9 km away, around 9 minutes by car by our estimate, and Dubai World Trade Centre about 17 minutes.
