The handover date (Dec 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.
Buildings in this area paid a median of AED 17 per sq ft a year in 2023, from 16 buildings on the Dubai Land Department register. For the smallest home (7,844 sq ft) that is about AED 133,000 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 800,000 ÷ AED 12,000,000 = 6.7%. 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.

Lakeshore at The Sanctuary is an Ellington cluster of 4- and 5-bedroom villas in Mohammed Bin Rashid City, from AED 12,000,000 with handover listed for December 2026. Handover is due soon, so ask about the completion certificate and how much is already payable.
Handover is listed for December 2026, next month at the time of writing. Ask Ellington whether the villas have a completion certificate and what the current handover date is.
The plan is 20% on booking, 50% during construction and 30% on handover. At the from price that is AED 2,400,000 to book, AED 6,000,000 during construction and AED 3,600,000 on handover. With handover this close, ask how much of the construction share is already due. The 4% DLD fee comes to AED 480,000.
The cluster has 38 villas with four or five bedrooms, in two types: the Cascade Villas and the Garden Villas. Each villa has three storeys, an open-sky courtyard, a garden, a patio, an elevator and a swimming pool. Sizes do not match: the listing gives 7,844 to 14,606 sq ft, while the developer also quotes about 6,417 sq ft for four bedrooms and 7,610 sq ft for five. Ask for the floor plan, the built-up area and the plot size of your villa. The homes are freehold.
By our map, Sultan Al Olama Medical Center is about 1 km away and Dubai International School about 1.7 km, about 3 minutes by car by our estimate. Hartland International School is about 3.1 km away. Business Bay is about 2.5 km away and Business Bay Metro Station about 3.8 km, each about 9 minutes by car.
