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 14 per sq ft a year in 2023, from 9 buildings on the Dubai Land Department register. For the smallest home (437 sq ft) that is about AED 6,000 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 42,000 ÷ AED 699,700 = 6%. 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.

Vivida Residences asks 5% on booking: AED 34,985 at the from price, with 65% due at handover. Namo Development lists studio to three-bedroom apartments in Dubai South from AED 699,700, with a listed handover of March 2028 and a from price per square foot 35% above 122 studio off-plan sales in Dubai World Central.
The Dubai Land Department lists 122 studio off-plan sales in Dubai World Central in the 12 months to October 2026. The from price per square foot of Vivida Residences is 35% above their median. Those sales cover the whole area, not only this project.
You pay 5% on booking, 30% during construction and 65% at handover. At the from price that is AED 34,985 on booking, AED 209,910 during construction and AED 454,805 at handover. Separately, the 4% Land Department fee comes to AED 27,988 at the from price; ask when it is due. The listed handover is March 2028, about 16 months from now, so 35% of the price is paid before that date.
The homes are studios and one- to three-bedroom apartments, from 437 to 1,730 sq ft overall, and some layouts include a study area. The developer lists an infinity pool, an indoor and outdoor gym, a jogging track and a multipurpose court. There are also steam and sauna rooms, barbecue and lounge areas, an outdoor cinema, a giant chess board and play areas. The developer places the building on Expo Road.
A polyclinic is about 1.0 km away, 4 minutes by car. Greenfield International School is about 5.3 km away, 10 minutes by car, and South View School about 6.6 km, 16 minutes. Expo 2020 Metro Station is about 7.8 km away, around 25 minutes by car, and Jumeirah Lakes Towers about 34 minutes.
