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.
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 8 finished projects by this developer since 2017. 7 of the 8 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.
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 Select Group 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.

Gross yield is a year's rent before costs, as a share of the price. At the from price: AED 74,999 ÷ AED 1,400,000 = 5.4%. 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.

Nautica is a Select Group project of two towers in Dubai Maritime City, with 1- and 2-bedroom apartments from AED 1,400,000. Its listed handover is December 2026, next month, so ask whether the towers are complete before you pay.
The handover date is the first thing to check. The listing gives December 2026, which is next month at the time of writing. Ask the developer whether the towers are finished and for the completion certificate.
The plan is 20% on booking, 20% during construction and 60% on handover. At the from price that is AED 280,000 to book, AED 280,000 for the construction stage and AED 840,000 at handover. Ask when the 20% construction payment falls due. Separately, the 4% DLD fee comes to AED 56,000; ask when it is due. The price check for this project isn't reliable enough to quote, so ask for the price per square foot of the exact unit.
The two towers are called Nautica One and Nautica Two. One-bedroom homes come in two sizes, 615 and 734 sq ft, and two-bedroom homes in 1,000 and 1,032 sq ft. Bedrooms have built-in wardrobes, and the interiors mix slate, grey and sapphire with timber and copper. The listing does not name any shared facilities, so ask what the towers include. It also does not state the ownership type, so confirm the ownership terms with the developer.
Al Ghubaiba Metro Station is about 2.6 km away, around 8 minutes by car by our estimate. Nikki Beach is about 2.6 km away and La Mer seafront about 5.2 km. Dubai World Trade Centre is about 5.7 km away, roughly 10 minutes by car, and Jumeirah Baccalaureate School is also about 5.7 km away.
