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.
Budget for the service charge.
Once the building is finished you pay a yearly service charge per sq ft, set from the building's budget and approved by RERA. Ask Arsenal East Real Estate Development for the estimate.
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.

Zephyra Residences is an Arsenal East Real Estate Development project on Dubai Islands with one- to three-bedroom apartments, townhouses and penthouses from AED 1,651,000 and a listed handover of December 2027. Its from price per square foot is 5.9% above 42 one-bedroom off-plan sales in the project over the 24 months to October 2026.
The developer lists two buildings on a 10,200 square metre plot, each with 10 residential floors, and three basement parking levels. The listing also describes a 14-storey structure, so ask how the floors are counted. Homes run from 710 to 4,033 sq ft, but sizes are given only for one to three bedrooms, so ask for the townhouse and penthouse plans.
The Dubai Land Department lists 42 one-bedroom off-plan sales in Zephyra Residences in the 24 months to October 2026. The from price per square foot is 5.9% above their median. Ask which unit the from price applies to.
