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 Alaia Developments 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.

Gross yield is a year's rent before costs, as a share of the price. At the from price: AED 54,000 ÷ AED 1,151,000 = 4.7%. 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.

Chelsea Gardens is an Alaia Developments building of 56 apartments in Al Satwa, with studios to two-bedroom homes from AED 1,151,000 and a listed handover of March 2027. The listed handover is about four months away and 60% of the price is due at handover, so ask about the completion status.
In the 12 months to October 2026, the Dubai Land Department recorded 334 off-plan studio sales in Al Satwa. Our check puts the from price per square foot 0.8% above their median.
The plan is 20% on booking, 20% during construction and 60% at handover. At the from price you pay AED 230,200 on booking, AED 230,200 during the build and AED 690,600 at the listed handover in March 2027. The 4% Land Department fee adds AED 46,040. The listed handover is about four months away, so ask how construction is progressing before you sign.
There are 56 apartments, from studios to two bedrooms. The size range is 481 to 1,465 sq ft, but the developer's description gives about 481 sq ft for studios, 786 sq ft for one bedroom and 1,193 sq ft for two. Check the size of your unit. Shared facilities include a gym, a pool, a children's pool, a play area, landscaped areas, a lobby, covered parking and 24-hour security.
World Trade Centre Metro Station is about 630 m away, and Dubai World Trade Centre about 970 m. A clinic is about 330 m away. La Mer Beach is about 2.1 km away, a 7-minute drive, and Jumeirah Baccalaureate School about 2.2 km. The listing does not state the ownership type, so confirm the ownership terms with the developer.
