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 (401 sq ft) that is about AED 6,000 a year.

Gross yield is a year's rent before costs, as a share of the price. At the from price: AED 61,776 ÷ AED 751,000 = 8.2%. 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.

Those are sales across the district, not only in this building. The check compares price per square foot, not the total price of a home.
The plan is 20% on booking, 50% during construction and 30% on handover. At the from price that is AED 150,200, AED 375,500 and AED 225,300. Get the dated payment schedule to see which steps still apply. Separately, the 4% DLD fee comes to AED 30,040; ask when it is due.
Apartments run from 401 to 2,194 sq ft. Ellington lists floor-to-ceiling windows, branded built-in kitchen appliances, a powder room, a laundry room and one or two balconies, and some two-bedroom units have a maid's room. The door, lights and air conditioning run on a home automation system. DMCC Metro Station is about 740 m away, Emirates International School - Meadows about 1.2 km and JBR beach about 1.7 km.
