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 14 per sq ft a year in 2023, from 9 buildings on the Dubai Land Department register. For the smallest home (562 sq ft) that is about AED 8,000 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 42,000 ÷ AED 683,000 = 6.1%. 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.

Manarina by Zenith is a Zenith Group apartment project in Dubai South, with studios to 2-bedroom homes from AED 683,000 and handover listed for June 2028. The price check puts the from price per square foot 2.7% above 122 similar studio sales in Dubai World Central over the 12 months to October 2026.
In the 12 months to October 2026, the Dubai Land Department recorded 122 studio off-plan sales in Dubai World Central. The price check puts the from price per square foot 2.7% above their median. These are sales across Dubai World Central, not only this project. Ask which unit the from price applies to.
The plan is 20% on booking, 70% during construction and 10% on handover. At the from price that is AED 136,600, AED 478,100 and AED 68,300. That puts 90% of the price before handover, listed for June 2028, about 19 months away. The 4% DLD fee comes to AED 27,320.
The developer describes 121 units, with 10 duplex townhouses below the apartments. The listing gives apartments only, from studios to two bedrooms, so ask which home types are still for sale. The size range is 562 to 1,151 sq ft; check the floor plan of your unit. Facilities include a landscaped courtyard with a shared swimming pool, a gymnasium, a roof garden and a children's play area, with covered parking.
By our map, Alnoor South Polyclinic is about 950 m away. Greenfield International School is about 5.6 km away, about 11 minutes by car by our estimate, and South View School about 7.9 km. Expo 2020 Metro Station is about 7.3 km away, about 14 minutes by car. JBR beach and Jumeirah Lakes Towers are each about 36 to 37 minutes by car.
