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 15 per sq ft a year in 2023, from 20 buildings on the Dubai Land Department register. For the smallest home (630 sq ft) that is about AED 9,000 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 85,000 ÷ AED 1,671,000 = 5.1%. 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.

The from price is about 22% above 200 similar one-bedroom sales in DMCC Master Community (12 months to October 2026). These are sales across the area, not in this project, so ask which unit the from price is for.
You pay 20% on booking, 40% during construction and 40% at handover. At the from price that is AED 334,200, AED 668,400 and AED 668,400. That makes AED 1,002,600 before handover, which is listed for December 2029, a little over three years away. Separately, the 4% DLD fee comes to AED 66,840; ask when it is due.
The listing gives one and two-bedroom apartments from 630 to 1,554 sq ft. The developer quotes one-bedroom sizes from 568 sq ft, below that range, so ask for the floor plan of your unit. The building has a gym, a lobby, a shared pool, covered parking and a children's pool and play area. The developer also mentions a shopping mall and a cinema; ask whether these are part of the building.
National Paints Metro Station (formerly Jebel Ali) is about 730 m away and a medical centre about 430 m. JBR beach is about 1.8 km away and Bluewaters Island about 2.4 km. Emirates International School - Meadows is about 2.4 km away and The Winchester School about 2.7 km.
