The investment case

Ownership is freehold. There is no annual income tax or capital gains tax on the property in the UAE. With 60% deferred to completion, most of the capital stays with you during construction. The 2029 handover sets the timeline for any rental income.

Investment notes

Projected capital appreciation in comparable Dubai off-plan segments has often been discussed in the market as potentially exceeding around 15% per annum in strong cycles — past performance is not a guarantee of future results, and returns vary by project, timing, and market conditions. Off-plan units can often be resold (assigned) prior to completion, which some buyers use to realise gains before handover, subject to developer rules (developers commonly require a minimum percentage to be paid before an assignment is approved), transfer fees, and market demand.

Points to confirm

Bathroom counts and sizes are indicative until checked against the official floor plan. Developer prices and availability move quickly — we confirm both before you reserve.
