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 12 per sq ft a year in 2023, from 8 buildings on the Dubai Land Department register. For the smallest home (400 sq ft) that is about AED 5,000 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 40,000 ÷ AED 556,830 = 7.2%. 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.

Opuz by Albab is an Albab Developer apartment project in International City, with studios to 2-bedroom homes from AED 556,830 and handover listed for June 2028. The listed plan has no booking step, just 60% during construction and 40% at handover, so ask in writing what you pay when you sign.
The listing splits the price into 60% during construction and 40% at handover, with no separate booking payment. At the from price that is AED 334,098 during the build and AED 222,732 at handover. Ask for the dates of the construction payments and the amount due at signing. Separately, the 4% DLD fee comes to AED 22,273; ask when it is due.
The price check puts the from price per square foot 5.5% above 208 similar studio off-plan sales registered with the Dubai Land Department in the 12 months to October 2026. Those sales were across Warsan Fourth, not in this project. Ask for the price per square foot of the exact unit you are offered.
The homes are studios, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments, with sizes from 400 to 1,157 sq ft. Check the floor plan of your unit. Residents share a pool, a children's pool and a children's play area, and the building has a lobby, covered parking and 24-hour security. Homes have balconies. The project is freehold, and handover is about 19 months away.
A clinic is about 1.3 km away and Repton School Dubai about 1.5 km. GEMS Wellington Academy is about 2.9 km away and Indian International School about 3.5 km. The nearest metro is Centrepoint Metro Station (formerly Rashidiya), about 9.7 km away or around 13 minutes by car. Business Bay is about 19 minutes by car.
