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 30 per sq ft a year in 2024, from 36 buildings on the Dubai Land Department register. For the smallest home (625 sq ft) that is about AED 19,000 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 73,000 ÷ AED 2,660,000 = 2.7%. 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.

HQ by Rove is an Irth Development office building in Business Bay, branded by Rove Hotels, with units from AED 2,660,000 and handover listed for March 2029. The developer describes it as offices only, so if you want a home, confirm what is actually for sale.
The listing tags this project as apartments and offices, but the developer's description covers only fitted and furnished office units across 23 office floors. Offices may not price like home sales, so we do not compare this price with home sales. Ask whether any units can be lived in, and check what the title and service charges allow.
The plan is 15% on booking, 35% during construction and 50% on handover. At the from price that is AED 399,000, then AED 931,000, then AED 1,330,000. Separately, the 4% Land Department fee comes to AED 106,400; ask when it is due. The listed handover is March 2029, about two years and four months away.
Units run from office studios to larger Deluxe, Executive and Loft options, and the developer says units can be joined as a business grows. The listing gives sizes from 625 to 5,790 sq ft, and the developer's description starts the studios at about 680 sq ft; ask for the exact size of your unit. Loft offices have double-height ceilings, kitchenettes and their own washrooms, and some offices have courtyards. Shared spaces listed include observation decks, co-working areas, meeting rooms and a cafe, along with EV charging.
The developer places it in the Marasi Bay part of Business Bay, with access to the Dubai Canal. BIOS Clinic is about 90 m away and Downtown Dubai about 1.5 km, a 5-minute drive. Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall Metro Station is about 2.5 km away, 8 minutes by car, and Hartland International School about 1.9 km.
