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 19 per sq ft a year in 2023, from 35 buildings on the Dubai Land Department register. For the smallest home (1,217 sq ft) that is about AED 23,000 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 100,000 ÷ AED 4,200,000 = 2.4%. 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.

W The Residences is an Arada project in Dubai Harbour with one to five-bedroom apartments, penthouses and duplexes from AED 4,200,000 and a listed handover of December 2029. Its from price is about 14% below 84 similar one-bedroom sales in Dubai Harbour (12 months to October 2026).
DLD lists 84 one-bedroom sales in Dubai Harbour in the 12 months to October 2026. The from price here is about 14% below them. Those sales are from the area, not this project. Ask which unit, floor and size the AED 4,200,000 from price applies to.
The plan is 10% on booking, 50% during construction and 40% at handover. At the from price that is AED 420,000, AED 2,100,000 and AED 1,680,000, so AED 2,520,000 is paid before handover. The listed handover is December 2029, about three years from now. Ask when the 50% construction payment falls due. Separately, the 4% DLD fee comes to AED 168,000; ask when it is due.
The project has apartments, penthouses and duplexes of one to five bedrooms. The listed size range is 1,217 to 11,487 sq ft. The listing also gives 1,047 sq ft for one bedroom and 11,795 sq ft for five, which fall outside that range, so check the floor plan of your unit. Residents get covered parking, a gym, a children's play area and a shared pool, and the listing mentions water views. The ownership is freehold.
An Emirates Hospitals and Clinics branch is about 340 m away and Mina Seyahi Tram Stop about 660 m. Dubai Media City is about 920 m away, Marina Walk about 1.0 km and Marina Beach about 1.7 km. Emirates Golf Club is about 2.0 km away. For schools, ICCA Dubai is about 2.2 km away, Regent International School about 3.2 km and Emirates International School - Meadows about 3.4 km.
