Before you buy

Before you buy, check

  • Availability when checked: Sold out from the developer (2023); handover due; resale only
  • Confirm whether handover has actually started: the developer's site says 'starting Q2 2026' but no announcement was found as at November 2026, and the date has moved three times.
  • Developer stock is sold out; resale asking prices on a major portal start around AED 1.85 million against AED 1.2 million at launch.
  • One registry listing records the developer entity as a subsidiary ('Expo City Mangrove Residences Development' under Dubai South Properties). Confirm the contracting party on the SPA.
  • No service charge has been set yet; ask for the estimate in writing.

Check the project and its escrow account with the Dubai Land Department before you pay.
