The handover date (Sep 2026) is too close or already past to estimate the dates. Ask us for the developer's current schedule.
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 1,500,000 = 8.3%. 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 Living is a Dubai International Financial Centre project in DIFC with one- to three-bedroom homes from AED 1,500,000. The listed handover of September 2026 has passed, so it may be out of date; ask the developer before you pay anything.
The from price per square foot is 18% below 188 similar one-bedroom sales in DIFC over the 12 months to October 2026. The check compares price per square foot, not total price, and those sales are across DIFC, not in this building alone. Ask for the size and price of the exact unit you are offered.
The listed plan is 5% on booking, 65% during construction and 30% at handover. At the from price that is AED 75,000 on booking, AED 975,000 during construction and AED 450,000 at handover. Separately, the 4% DLD fee comes to AED 60,000; ask when it is due. With the listed date passed, ask whether this plan still applies and whether the building has its completion certificate.
The first phase has one- to three-bedroom apartments and one- and three-bedroom lofts, and the project will have more than 170 units on completion. Sizes run from 644 to 2,388 sq ft. Every home comes with built-in Bosch electric appliances, high ceilings and full-height glass windows. The listing also tags villas and offices, but the homes described are apartments and lofts, so ask what is for sale.
Financial Centre Metro Station is about 400 m away, roughly a 6-minute walk, and a medical centre about 150 m. GEMS Wellington Primary School is about 770 m away and Jumeirah Baccalaureate School about 2.2 km. The Business Bay creek front is about 2.6 km away, around 8 minutes by car.
