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.
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.

Gross yield is a year's rent before costs, as a share of the price. At the from price: AED 140,000 ÷ AED 20,000,000 = 0.7%. 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.

Vela Viento is a pair of Omniyat towers in Business Bay with two- to four-bedroom apartments, penthouses and duplexes from AED 20,000,000 and a listed handover of December 2027. The developer says there is one home per floor, and names Dorchester Collection as the manager of the residences.
The developer describes two towers in Marasi Bay, Business Bay, each 590 ft tall, with one home per floor. Foster + Partners is named as the architect, Gilles & Boissier for the fit-out and furniture, and Dorchester Collection as the manager. The listed handover is December 2027, about 13 months away, so ask Omniyat how far construction has got.
The plan is 5% on booking, 55% during construction and 40% at handover. At the from price that is AED 1,000,000, AED 11,000,000 and AED 8,000,000. With handover listed for December 2027, ask how much of the 55% is still to come and on what schedule. Separately, the 4% DLD fee comes to AED 800,000; ask when it is due.
The developer lists 90 apartments with two to four bedrooms, four-bedroom penthouses and two four-bedroom duplexes. Sizes start at 2,852 sq ft; check the floor plans for the larger homes. Homes have terraces and the lift opens straight into each one. Some units have a private pool, so ask whether yours does. The Sky Amenities Deck, a full floor about 330 ft up, has an infinity pool, a double-height gym and a yoga studio, and the podium adds an indoor lap pool, a private spa and a golf car service to Omniyat's Vela and The Lana hotel.
BIOS Clinic is about 110 m away, around 2 minutes on foot. Downtown Dubai is about 1.4 km away and the Business Bay creek front about 1.8 km. Hartland International School is about 1.9 km away, and Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall Metro Station about 2.4 km, around 7 minutes by car by our estimate. Dubai Creek Golf and Yacht Club is about 7.3 km away.
