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.
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 Avenew Development 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.

Lia is an Avenew Development apartment building in Dubai Islands with 1- to 3-bedroom homes from AED 2,168,000 and handover listed for March 2028. Its from price per square foot is about 8.0% below 1,663 similar one-bedroom sales in Dubai Islands over the 12 months to October 2026.
The Dubai Land Department registered 1,663 one-bedroom off-plan sales in Dubai Islands in the 12 months to October 2026. Lia's from price per square foot is about 8.0% below their median. Those sales were across the area, not in this building, so compare the price per square foot of your exact unit too.
The plan is 10% on booking, 40% during construction and 50% on handover. At the from price that is AED 216,800 to book, AED 867,200 during the build and AED 1,084,000 at handover. Separately, the 4% DLD fee comes to AED 86,720; ask when it is due. Handover is listed for March 2028, about 16 months from now, so half the price falls due at that point.
The listing gives apartments of one to three bedrooms, from 831 to 2,200 sq ft. Its description also mentions penthouses with their own rooftop pools, but penthouses are not among the home types listed, so ask whether any are for sale and at what price. Homes have floor-to-ceiling windows and stone bathroom finishes, and marble kitchen worktops are offered as an option, mainly in the penthouses. Homes are sold without furniture.
Shared spaces include a pool with seating built into the water, a children's pool, a play area, shaded barbecue spots and a gym. There is a triple-height lobby with a helical staircase, covered parking and 24-hour security. Deira Islands Beach is about 1.3 km away and Dubai Hospital about 1.9 km. Gold Souq Metro Station is about 3.0 km away, about 8 minutes by car, and Dubai World Trade Centre about 16 minutes by car.
