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.
Check the developer's record.
The Dubai Land Department project register lists 17 finished projects by this developer since 2016. 17 of the 17 were finished by the completion date DLD holds now. DLD replaces that date when a project is given more time and keeps no earlier dates, so this can't show which ones ran late.
Budget for the service charge.
Buildings in this area paid a median of AED 19 per sq ft a year in 2023, from 5 buildings on the Dubai Land Department register. For the smallest home (385 sq ft) that is about AED 7,000 a year.
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 52,000 ÷ AED 650,000 = 8%. 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.

Elitz 2 is a Danube project in Jumeirah Village Circle with studios and one- to three-bedroom apartments from AED 650,000, and a listed handover of September 2026. That date has passed and may be out of date, so ask Danube for the completion certificate and the current handover date before you pay anything.
The listed handover of September 2026 has passed and may be out of date. Ask Danube whether the building has its completion certificate, when handover is now expected, and when the 39% construction payment falls due.
The from price is 4.3% below 30 similar studio sales in this project (24 months to October 2026), as registered with the Dubai Land Department.
The plan is 10% on booking, 39% during construction and 51% at handover. At the from price that is AED 65,000 on booking, AED 253,500 during construction and AED 331,500 at handover. Separately, the 4% DLD fee comes to AED 26,000; ask when it is due. Just over half of the price is tied to handover, so check when that payment will be called.
The listing gives sizes of 385 to 1,495 sq ft; the developer lists about 387 sq ft for a studio, 745 sq ft for one bedroom, 1,065 sq ft for two and 1,495 sq ft for three. The developer describes two towers with shops and commercial spaces as well as homes. Shared facilities include a pool and a kids' pool, a gym, covered parking and round-the-clock security, and homes have balconies.
