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 20 per sq ft a year in 2023, from 5 buildings on the Dubai Land Department register. For the smallest home (4,700 sq ft) that is about AED 94,000 a year.
Register the sale with Oqood.

Gross yield is a year's rent before costs, as a share of the price. At the from price: AED 320,000 ÷ AED 888,000 = 36%. 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.

Omniyat's ELA Residences Dorchester Collection has 63 homes on Palm Jumeirah's Eastern Crescent, with 3- and 4-bedroom apartments, duplexes and penthouses and a listed handover of January 2028. The listing gives a from price of AED 888,000 for homes of 4,700 sq ft and up, so confirm the current price with Omniyat first.
Start with the price. The listing gives AED 888,000 as the from price, but the smallest home is listed at 4,700 sq ft, and the developer's description puts the smallest at about 5,200 sq ft. Ask Omniyat for the current price and the exact size of the unit you want.
The plan is 5% on booking, 55% during construction and 40% at handover. At the listed from price that would be AED 44,400 on booking, AED 488,400 during the build and AED 355,200 at handover. Separately, the 4% Land Department fee would come to AED 35,520; ask when it is due. Redo these sums with the confirmed price. The listed handover is January 2028, about 14 months from now.
The building pairs a Dorchester Collection beach resort with the homes. Omniyat lists 3- and 4-bedroom simplexes and duplexes plus three super penthouses, with sizes up to 42,900 sq ft. Zaha Hadid Architects designed it and Vladimir Djurovic Landscape Architecture the grounds. Buyers pick one of three interior designers: Studio Carter, Elysian Design or YODEZEEN. Each home has a private pool, a raised sun deck, large terraces and Juliet balconies, and some add an outdoor jacuzzi. The listing has no floor plans, so ask for them.
Aquaventure Beach is about 1.8 km away, an 11-minute drive. Dubai College is about 4.5 km away, a 20-minute drive. The nearest station, Al Sufouh Tram Stop, is about 18 minutes by car. The homes are freehold.
