How you pay
80/20: your money goes in step by step.
You pay 80% (US$3.09M · AED 11,360,000) while it is being built and 20% at or after handover. Your money goes in step by step, not all on day one.
What it could make
Three scenarios, one honest table.
An illustration, not a promise. One unit bought at the starting price and sold at handover in about 2.6 years, after 4% registration and 2% selling costs.

Why the numbers can work: you put in 80% plus the 4% registration fee, but growth applies to the full price. Risks: prices can fall, handover can slip, and selling before handover usually needs the developer's approval and a minimum amount paid.

Questions buyers ask
Straight answers.
Can foreigners buy here?
Yes. Projects sold by UAE developers to international buyers are in freehold or investment zones where foreign nationals can own. We confirm the title type for your unit.
What are the buying costs?
About 4% government registration fee plus small administration fees. No stamp duty or annual property tax.
Can I sell before handover?
Usually yes, once you have paid the minimum the developer sets (often 30 to 40%) and received its no-objection certificate.
Can I get a mortgage?
Off-plan homes are usually paid through the payment plan; banks lend close to or after handover, for residents and non-residents, subject to bank rules.
Can I buy without visiting?
Yes. Reservation, contract and payments can all be done remotely, and we arrange video tours of show homes.
How do I get the Golden Visa?
Once your purchase is registered and meets the AED 2 million threshold, you apply with the title deed or off-plan contract. We guide you through it.
