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.
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 Dubai International Financial Centre 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 125,000 ÷ AED 2,400,000 = 5.2%. 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.

DIFC Heights Tower is an apartment tower in DIFC from the developer Dubai International Financial Centre, with 1- to 4-bedroom homes from AED 2,400,000 and a listed handover of December 2029. Booking takes 5% of the price, and the from price per square foot is 6.7% above 188 similar sales across the area.
The from price per square foot is 6.7% above the median of 188 similar one-bedroom sales over the 12 months from October 2025 to October 2026. Those sales were across DIFC, not in this tower. The check compares price per square foot, not the total price, so ask for the figure for your exact unit.
The plan is 5% on booking, 65% during construction and 30% at handover. At the from price that is AED 120,000 on booking and AED 1,560,000 during the build, so AED 1,680,000 is paid before handover. The last AED 720,000 is due at handover, listed for December 2029. Separately, the 4% DLD fee comes to AED 96,000; ask when it is due. The listing gives no construction payment dates, so ask for them.
The tower has 366 homes. One-bedroom apartments are about 792 sq ft, two-bedroom about 1,307 sq ft and three-bedroom about 1,761 sq ft. The range also includes 3- and 4-bedroom duplexes, and four-bedroom units are about 3,520 sq ft. Homes have floor-to-ceiling windows, and listed shared spaces include a kids' pool, a co-working area, a family lounge, a multipurpose hall and a temperature-controlled swimming pool.
Financial Centre Metro Station is about 210 m away, a four-minute walk. GEMS Wellington Primary School is about 610 m away and Jumeirah Baccalaureate School about 2.0 km. The Business Bay creek front is about 2.8 km away, and Dubai Creek Golf and Yacht Club about a 14-minute drive. The ownership is freehold.
