Before you buy
Before you buy, check
- Availability when checked: Sold out from the developer (2024); under construction; resale only
- Developer stock is sold out; any purchase is a resale. A major portal records a 1-bed resale at AED 1,966,000 in July 2026 against AED 1.79 million at launch.
- Handover slipped from Q3 2026 to Q4 2026, and as at November 2026 no handover has been announced publicly.
- Tower count and bedroom mix differ between sources (three towers of 14 or 15 storeys; 1-3 or 1-4 beds). Confirm the tower and floor of any resale.
- Check which payment plan (10/40/5/45 or 10/35/5/50) and how much post-handover balance remains to be paid on a resale unit.
Check the project and its escrow account with the Dubai Land Department before you pay.
