Creek Haven Dubai Creek Harbour: Sources and Prices (2026)

Creek Haven Dubai Creek Harbour is the name this guide gives to Creek Haven, a release of 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments that Emaar Properties lists in Dubai Creek Harbour, where the developer’s own project page printed “Prices from AED 2,722,888” (about USD 741,426, at the pegged rate of 3.6725), 13 units available and no handover date when it was checked on 15 November 2026.

This guide to Creek Haven Dubai Creek Harbour reads the Emaar project page, the Latest Launches page, the Dubai Creek Harbour community page, the Russian version of the project page and the two PDF files that Emaar links from the project page, the floor plans and the brochure. It sets beside them nine broker pages and blog posts, each read on 15 November 2026. Where Emaar prints a figure it comes first.

Where it prints nothing, the broker figures are shown next to each other with their sources, and none is chosen.

It also takes the twelve printed floor plans apart, adds up the unit labels in them, sets out how the Dubai rules on off-plan registration, the escrow account and the fees apply to a purchase of this kind, and ends with a list of what a buyer can ask for in writing before reserving.

Overview of Creek Haven Dubai Creek Harbour

Emaar’s page for the release is titled Creek Haven at Dubai Creek Harbour and sits in the New Launches section of emaar.com. Its key facts give the product as 1, 2 and 3 Bedroom Apartment, with a line reading Starting Price AED 1.86 Mn, a second line reading Prices from AED 2,722,888, Available 13 units and Sizes 1,193 to 1,871 sq ft.

On the Latest Launches page, read on the same day, the Creek Haven card carries the label Just launched, the words from AED 2.72M and the count 13 units available.

Emaar’s community page for Dubai Creek Harbour lists the same release as Creek Haven, 2 to 3 Bedrooms, From AED 2,722,888, 13 units remaining. The project page and the community page therefore print different bedroom ranges for the same release on the same day: 1, 2 and 3 on one, 2 to 3 on the other. Both statements are shown as printed. The project page’s structured data carries a modification date of 7 May 2026.

Emaar describes creek-water and park views, views of Burj Khalifa and the Downtown Dubai skyline, a walkable waterfront community of promenades, landscaped parks and retail boulevards, and an architecture of composed gardens, flowing water and shaded terraces around a lobby. It describes each 1 to 3 bedroom apartment as having spacious layouts. The page lists ten amenities: Infinity Pool, Kids Pool, BBQ and Picnic Areas, Gym and Outdoor Fitness, Playground, Community Park, Sports Park, Neighbourhood Plaza, Schools and Promenade retail.

Emaar’s brochure has an amenities page with eight items, three of which, the padel court, the table tennis and the yoga deck, are not on the project page. Neither document says which items sit in the building and which in the wider community. The table lists what each source prints, and brokers’ extras are shown as broker statements.

Several items that a buyer normally needs are not printed on the developer page, checked 15 November 2026: the handover quarter, any construction percentage, the number of apartments, the number of floors, the payment plan, the service charge and the tenure of the land. The sections below record what the floor-plan file, the brochure and nine broker pages print on each point, with the date, and say so wherever Emaar itself is silent.

Creek Bay and Valia, the other Emaar releases of this community with guides on this site, are separate buildings with their own plans and terms, and nothing is carried over from them into this guide.

What Emaar and nine brokers print about status, handover, units, floors, tenure and plan

The first table puts Emaar’s own documents side by side. A dash means the document printed nothing on that line. The documents differ in a few places, and those differences are kept.

The English and Russian pages differ on two figures that were both read on 15 November 2026. The Russian page counts 12 units against 13 on the English page, and gives 1,194 as the lower size where the English page gives 1,193. Neither page says which is current, so each is shown with its page.

The second table lists what nine broker pages and blog posts print about the same points. They are listing and sales sites, not Emaar, and a broker figure is shown as the broker prints it.

Three points stand out. On handover, five of the six brokers that print a date give the first quarter of 2030 or March 2030, which are the same period, while the off-planproperties.ae page prints March 2030 in one place and the third quarter of 2030 in another.

On buildings, the floor-plan file labels every plan Tower A, one broker says there are two buildings and a February 2026 post names a Tower B; the sources do not explain how these fit together, and this guide does not try to. On construction progress, the 0.9 percent figure comes from one broker, which attributes it to a register and gives a September 2026 date.

It is not printed on any Emaar or Dubai Land Department page that was read, so it is a single-source figure and the project status service described later is the place to check progress.

The third table covers the unit count, where the sources differ most.

The figures fall into two groups, 274 or 275 on one side and 593 on the other, and the off-planproperties.ae page prints 411 as well. The calculated count of the floor-plan labels agrees with the first group, as section 4 shows, but it is a reading of labels in a file that prints no total, and it does not settle the question. For that reason this guide gives no single total.

Prices on 15 November 2026: the developer lines, the portals and the arithmetic

Emaar’s project page prints two price lines for the release on the same day. The key-facts block reads Starting Price AED 1.86 Mn, and the next row reads Prices from AED 2,722,888. The Latest Launches card prints from AED 2.72M, and the community page prints From AED 2,722,888 next to the words 2 to 3 Bedrooms.

The Russian page prints the same two figures, 1.86 million and 2 722 888 AED. No page names the unit type that carries either price. The table converts every figure seen at the pegged rate of 3.6725 dirhams per dollar.

The two Emaar lines differ by AED 862,888, about USD 234,959. Jalili Real Estate, in an article updated on 20 October 2026, reads the difference this way: the 1.86 million headline belonged to the smallest homes, and none of the units on Emaar’s available list that day was that small. That is the broker’s reading, offered with Emaar’s floor plans, and Emaar itself does not say it.

It is consistent with the community page’s 2 to 3 Bedrooms line and with the size range of 1,193 to 1,871 sq ft, which section 4 compares with the floor plans. A buyer who needs the figure that applies to one particular apartment should ask for a price list with unit numbers.

Among the broker headers, Springfield’s AED 2,977,888 is AED 255,000 above Emaar’s Prices from figure, about USD 69,435. The same Springfield page also says homes start from AED 1.86 million, so one page carries both levels.

The unit counts that go with the prices are dated: 13 units on the English page, the card and the community page on 15 November 2026, 12 on the Russian page the same day, and 24 in Jalili’s account of what Emaar’s page showed on 20 October 2026. These are snapshots of a page that changes, and none is a statement about stock.

Three portals print a price for each bedroom count. They disagree with each other, and the table keeps them apart.

The pages do not say what finish, floor or view each figure assumes, and none states a price per square foot, so this guide does not compute one. Rumavi’s two-bedroom figure of AED 3,265,888 is AED 543,000 above Emaar’s Prices from figure, about USD 147,856, while the 2.67M two-bedroom figure on the other two pages is below it. That spread is a reason to treat a broker’s per-type table as an indication and not as a price list.

Inside the floor-plan file of Creek Haven Dubai Creek Harbour: twelve plans, the balcony share and the count behind 274

Emaar links a PDF titled Floor plans from the project page. It has 14 pages: a cover, a page with the disclaimer and a site diagram labelled Tower A and Future Development, and twelve apartment plans on pages 3 to 14, each headed Tower A. Every plan prints a suite area, a balcony area and a total area in square feet and square metres, and a list of the levels and unit numbers where the plan appears.

The disclaimer on page 2 says that dimensions are measured from finish to finish, that materials, dimensions and drawings are approximate, that information is subject to change at the developer’s discretion, that actual area may vary from the stated area and that drawings are not to scale.

The table lists the twelve plans exactly as labelled. The last column is a calculation made for this guide: the balcony area divided by the total area. In every plan the suite area plus the balcony area equals the printed total, which was checked line by line.

Several readings follow from the table. The one-bedroom plans on levels 2 to 30 total 730.44 to 739.48 sq ft, of which 44.67 to 44.78 sq ft is balcony, about 6 percent. The two one-bedroom plans on level 1 total 876.18 and 872.74 sq ft because each carries a 6.40 by 2.46 m terrace, which takes the balcony share to about 21 percent.

The two-bedroom plans total 1,190.81 to 1,238.39 sq ft with balconies of 13.6 to 15.8 percent, and the single three-bedroom plan totals 1,860.43 sq ft with a balcony share of 14.4 percent.

Emaar’s project page prints sizes of 1,193 to 1,871 sq ft for the available units. No plan in the file totals 1,193 or 1,871. The nearest totals are 1,191.56 and 1,196.30 sq ft for the lower figure and 1,860.43 sq ft for the upper figure, which is 10.57 sq ft below 1,871.

In square metres, 1,193 sq ft is about 110.83 m² and 1,871 sq ft is about 173.82 m², calculated at 0.09290304 m² per square foot. The page does not say whether its range uses the same measure as the plans, and a buyer comparing the two should ask which area the sale contract will use.

The area question also has a service-charge side. The Dubai Land Department’s Service Charge Index page carries a note that, for invoices issued after 2019, the balcony area is calculated at a rate of 0.25 percent of the suite area, and that earlier invoices did not include balcony value. The page does not explain the note further.

With balcony shares between 6 and 21 percent in this file, the split between suite and balcony area is a figure a buyer can ask to see in the contract and in the first service-charge budget.

Room sizes as printed for six plans

Each plan prints room dimensions in metres. The table gives the living room, the master or only bedroom and the dining and kitchen block for six of the plans, with the floor area of the first two worked out as length times width. Those two products are calculated for this guide and are not printed in the file.

The plans also label a foyer, a corridor, a laundry and, in the two- and three-bedroom plans, a walk-in wardrobe and a master bath; the three-bedroom plan adds a powder room and maid’s-room items. The file prints no ceiling height, no finish schedule and no appliance list, so the plans fix the layout and the areas but not what is installed.

Adding up the unit labels

Each plan lists the levels and unit numbers where it is used, so the labels can be counted. The calculation below follows the labels literally and treats podium levels 1 to 3 as separate from tower levels 1 to 3, because the plans list them separately.

The total is 274 apartments, with 114 one-bedroom, 127 two-bedroom and 33 three-bedroom plans. Springfield Properties prints 274 units, and off-planproperties.ae prints 114, 127 and 33 in its unit table, so the labels reproduce a mix that one portal prints. The same labels do not reproduce the 593 printed by Group Seven Properties and Rumavi, or the 248, 274 and 71 split on the Group Seven page.

This is arithmetic on labels, not a finding about the project. Emaar prints no total, the file covers only plans labelled Tower A, and a broker page names a Tower B and another says two buildings. If a second building exists with other plans, they are not in this file. The calculation is shown so that a buyer can see where 274 can come from and can ask for the unit schedule that confirms or corrects it.

Payment schedules and dates: what Emaar prints and what brokers add

Emaar’s project page, its community page, its Russian page, the brochure and the floor-plan file print no payment plan and no handover date. Jalili Real Estate wrote on 20 October 2026 that Emaar’s page printed neither, and that an earlier version of its own article had given a first-quarter 2030 date and an 80/20 plan that it could not confirm on an Emaar source. The plans below are therefore broker statements, each with its source.

The labels look different but some can describe one split. A plan of 10 percent at booking and 70 percent in instalments leaves 20 percent at handover, and the first two parts add up to 80 percent, which is what an 80/20 label counts as paid before completion. The brokers do not say that this is what they mean, so the point is arithmetic and not a finding.

The Group Seven schedule has a different shape: it lists 40 percent as During Construction and then 10 percent at each of 40, 60 and 80 percent construction completion.

Two details in the table are worth a second look. First, the eight rows of the off-planproperties.ae schedule add up to 90 percent: ten at booking, six rows of ten percent and a final twenty. The page labels the plan 80/20 and does not show the other 10 percent. Second, two of the printed dates, January 2026 and July 2026, fall before 15 November 2026, and the page does not say how a buyer who books later is scheduled.

Both points are reasons to ask for the buyer’s own dated schedule instead of relying on a page.

As a scale only, if a 10/70/20 plan applied to Emaar’s Prices from figure of AED 2,722,888, the 10 percent part would be AED 272,289 (about USD 74,143) and the 20 percent part AED 544,578 (about USD 148,285), with the 70 percent part AED 1,906,022, all rounded to the nearest dirham. Emaar prints no plan, so these figures show the size of the steps and are not an offer.

Community and access for Creek Haven Dubai Creek Harbour: Dubai Creek Harbour

Emaar’s project page places the release in Dubai Creek Harbour and describes the community as a waterfront enclave with the Dubai Creek Marina, close proximity to the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary, easy access to Downtown Dubai and Dubai International Airport, and an upcoming Dubai Metro expansion.

The brochure marks a Future Blue Line on its metro map and says the upcoming Blue Line Metro will place the community at the nexus of culture, leisure and city life, with a note that the metro image belongs to the Roads and Transport Authority. No opening date for that line is printed in any Emaar document that was read.

Emaar’s community page prints Prices from AED 1,230,000 for the community, apartments and villas as property types, and a list of projects that it counts as 41. The project page repeats three community-wide figures: 711,399 sqm labelled Serviced Apartments, 7.4 million sqm of residential space and 500,000 sqm of parks and open spaces. These describe the whole community and not this release.

The brochure has a locator map and a page of labels for places in the community: The Viewing Point, Central Park, Harbour Promenade, Creek Marina, Burj Khalifa View, Creek Beach, Docklands and Green Gate. It prints no distance for any of them. Its map page does print five minute figures, shown in the table next to the figures that three brokers print. None of the sources says how the times were measured, by which route or at what hour, so they are indications.

The off-planproperties.ae page prints the same five minute figures as the Emaar brochure. Where the sources print a different number for the same place, as for the airport at 10, 12 and 16 minutes, the table keeps all three.

Bayut adds a 9-minute drive to an Areej bus stop, an 8-minute drive to three supermarkets and a 9-minute drive to the Creek Harbour public viewing deck. Binayah adds that Meydan is 5 minutes away. These are broker details that Emaar does not print. The guide gives no walking distance from the building to the waterfront or to the metro, because none of the sources prints one for this release.

For the wider picture of how Dubai Creek Harbour sits among Dubai’s communities, the brochure’s locator map names Downtown Dubai, Dubai Hills Estate, Emaar South, The Valley and others as separate communities. The guides on this site for Terra Woods at Expo Living and Ovelle at The Valley cover two of the communities that the map names, Expo Living and The Valley.

Buying off-plan in Dubai: the register, the escrow account and the fees

This section summarises Dubai Land Department (DLD) service pages, the Dubai legislation portal and the UAE government portal, all read on 15 November 2026. It states general rules and says nothing about steps already taken for this release. Pages and fees change, so each source should be read again before signing. The guides on buying off-plan in Dubai and on foreign buyers in Dubai give the longer walk-through.

Read as one sequence, the rules work like this. The developer holds the land and the approvals, registers the project and opens its escrow account. The buyer signs the sale and purchase contract, and the sale is entered in the provisional register through Oqood within 90 days of signing. The buyer’s instalments go to the escrow account named in the contract.

At the end the unit is registered in the buyer’s name, which is the event to which the escrow law ties the release of its 5 percent retention.

The DLD pages describe how payments leave the escrow account, against construction milestones checked by the account trustee’s engineer. The pages read do not set the dates of a buyer’s instalments, which are whatever the sale and purchase contract says. Group Seven’s schedule ties some instalments to construction percentages, and other broker schedules print calendar dates, so the contract is where the two meet.

A buyer who asks about these points in writing is asking for a project number, an escrow account and an agent’s name that can be checked on the DLD services above. That is a practical request, not a request for a legal opinion. The project page, the community page and the PDFs from Emaar print none of these identifiers for this release, which is why the checklist later in this guide asks for them.

The DLD page for the initial sale prints the fees as follows. The sums below are calculated on the Prices from figure of AED 2,722,888 to show the scale.

The DLD page names a 2 percent seller share and a 2 percent purchaser share. Rumavi prints the 4 percent figure as the buyer’s transfer fee. The contract states who pays which part, and a buyer should read it before relying on either description. The DLD page also lists AED 1,000 as a self-registration fee for developers, which is a developer cost and is not part of the buyer’s figures.

Tenure, residence permit and tax for a foreign buyer

According to the UAE government portal, Dubai permits foreign ownership in the areas it designates as freehold, where non-residents and expatriate residents may acquire freehold rights, usufruct rights or leasehold rights of up to 99 years. It refers to Article 3 of Regulation No. 3 of 2006, which lists the land plots designated as freehold. The guide on freehold and leasehold in Dubai explains the two forms of ownership.

Article 3 of the regulation names 23 areas, each with plot numbers. One entry reads Ras al Khor, Plot No. (165). The text does not print the words Dubai Creek Harbour or Creek Haven, and this guide does not connect the plot to the release. Rumavi cites the regulation for Dubai Creek Harbour as a designated freehold area, and Binayah, off-planproperties.ae and uae-offplan.com print freehold, while Emaar’s own pages print no tenure. These are broker statements.

The DLD project-registration page adds a condition from the developer side: the land must be in freehold or long-term lease areas. That is a rule for registering a project and is not a statement about this one. The sale and purchase contract and the registered title are where the tenure is fixed, so the sensible request is for the tenure to be written into the contract with the plot number.

Two official pages describe the property route to a Golden Visa, and their wording differs, so both are shown as printed. The UAE government portal, updated on 28 July 2026, lists investors in real estate for 5 years, with a minimum capital of AED 2 million through property ownership. The DLD service page describes a 10-year renewable residence permit for an owner of a property whose purchase value is AED 2 million or more at the time of purchase.

The AED 2,000,000 figure is about USD 544,588 at the peg. The figures printed for the release fall on both sides of it: the 1.86 million lines are below it, and Emaar’s Prices from figure of AED 2,722,888 is AED 722,888 above it, about USD 196,838. The condition is tied to the purchase value of a particular property, and no Golden Visa eligibility is claimed for any apartment here.

The DLD page asks for a title deed, and an off-plan unit is first entered in the interim register, so whether a particular off-plan unit counts, and at what stage, is a question for the authority to answer before the purchase. The guide to the Dubai Golden Visa explains the application.

On tax, the UAE government portal’s taxation page says that the country does not levy income tax on individuals and that it levies 5 percent value added tax on the purchase of goods and services. The Federal Tax Authority’s FAQ says that the VAT treatment of real estate depends on whether it is commercial or residential, that supplies of residential property are generally exempt, and that the first supply of a residential property within three years of completion is zero-rated.

The pages read for this guide do not mention an annual property tax. The guide to property tax in Dubai sets out the charges that do exist, and the mortgage guide covers financing.

Service charges are separate from tax. The DLD Service Charge Index service lets a user calculate a charge by title deed, or by project, usage and year. No service-charge figure for this release is printed on the Emaar pages, and Rumavi says that none has been filed for the building. The estimate and the way it is set are therefore a request for the written list.

About the developer: Emaar Properties

Emaar Properties PJSC is a public joint stock company that, according to its investor-relations FAQ, was incorporated in 1997 and listed on the Dubai Financial Market on 26 March 2000, with its headquarters in Dubai. On its investor-relations page, Emaar describes itself as a global property developer with a presence in the Middle East, North Africa and Asia, whose principal activities are property investment, development and development management, shopping malls and retail, entertainment, hospitality, property management and utility services.

Emaar’s About page names Burj Khalifa, Dubai Mall and Dubai Fountain among its landmark destinations, and prints 130,900 or more residential units delivered in Dubai and key international markets since 2002, citing a corporate disclosure of September 2026. The Creek Haven brochure prints a different figure, 118,400 or more delivered units, marked as at FY 2024, so the two figures carry different as-of dates.

Emaar’s pages list ten communities across the UAE, and the About page lists a presence in Saudi Arabia, India, Pakistan, Egypt, Morocco, Turkey and Lebanon.

These are Emaar’s own descriptions, read on 15 November 2026, and they are company-level statements and not statements about Creek Haven. The profile of the company kept on this site is the Emaar developer profile, which sits in the directory of Dubai developers.

What to ask for in writing before reserving an apartment here

The reservation comes first and the sale and purchase agreement second, and the points below are settled most reliably in that agreement or in a schedule attached to it. Each one answers a gap in the published pages, and none comments on any party. It is a standard list for an off-plan apartment purchase in Dubai.

1. The sale and purchase agreement with the apartment’s unit number, level, plan type (for example 2 bedroom 3.2) and bedroom count written in it, and a price list with unit numbers.
2. The total area on which the price is based, stating the suite area and the balcony or terrace area separately, since the printed plans split them and Emaar’s page prints a range that matches no single plan total.
3. The handover date as a quarter or a date in the contract, and what the contract says about how that date can be changed and what follows.
4. The payment schedule in dated amounts for a booking made now, stating how dates printed earlier in 2026 are treated, and who certifies the construction stages to which later instalments are tied.
5. The name of the escrow account and its bank, and the DLD project number, so the project can be looked up in the Project Status service and the Dubai REST app.
6. Confirmation that the purchase will be recorded in the provisional register through Oqood, with the recording date and the Oqood number.
7. The split of the 2 percent and 2 percent registration shares and any other fee payable at signing or at handover.
8. The tenure written as freehold or otherwise, with the plot number, and the building (Tower A or another) to which the apartment belongs.
9. The service-charge estimate per year, the budget period it covers, how balcony area is treated in it, and who manages the community and sets the budget.
10. What the finish includes: kitchen, appliances, wardrobes, flooring, air conditioning, because no Emaar document read for this guide printed a specification list.
11. Which of the listed amenities (for example the padel court, table tennis and yoga deck named in the brochure) are in the building or the wider community, when they open, and whether use is included in the service charge.
12. Who signs for the developer, the legal name of the contracting entity, and the licence number checked on the Trakheesi service.
13. The construction progress shown for the project on the DLD Project Status service on the day of signing.
14. What the authority says about a Golden Visa for this unit: the question goes to the authority and not to the seller, because the DLD service page asks for a title deed.

None of this should rest on a spoken answer or a broker page. The pages quoted here already print figures that differ from one another, so each point needs a written answer before any payment is made. If only one document is requested first, it should be the price list with unit numbers.

Frequently asked questions

What is Creek Haven Dubai Creek Harbour?

It is the name this guide uses for Creek Haven, an Emaar release in Dubai Creek Harbour. Emaar’s project page, read on 15 November 2026, lists 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments, 13 units available, sizes of 1,193 to 1,871 sq ft and a Prices from figure of AED 2,722,888, about USD 741,426 at the pegged rate. Its Latest Launches page labels the release Just launched. The page does not print a handover date or a payment plan.

When is the handover of Creek Haven Dubai Creek Harbour?

Emaar did not print a handover date on its pages on 15 November 2026. Bayut, Springfield Properties and Group Seven Properties print Q1 2030, Rumavi prints 31 March 2030, uae-offplan.com prints March 2030, and off-planproperties.ae prints March 2030 in one place and Q3 2030 in another. A buyer holds a handover date only when the sale and purchase agreement states one.

How much does Creek Haven Dubai Creek Harbour cost?

Emaar prints two lines on its project page: Starting Price AED 1.86 Mn, about USD 506,467, and Prices from AED 2,722,888, about USD 741,426. Brokers print other starting figures, from AED 1.86 million to AED 2,977,888, and Rumavi prints per-type figures from AED 1,868,888 to AED 5,427,888. No source prints one price list that covers every unit, so the price of a given apartment is confirmed in a written price list.

How many apartments are there?

Emaar prints no total. Springfield Properties prints 274, uae-offplan.com prints 275, Group Seven Properties and Rumavi print 593, and off-planproperties.ae prints 274 and 411 on the same page. The unit labels in Emaar’s floor-plan file add up to 274 when counted as section 4 describes. That is a calculation on labels and not a printed total, and Emaar’s own pages remain silent on the number.

Can foreigners buy in Dubai Creek Harbour?

The UAE government portal says that Dubai permits foreign ownership in areas designated as freehold. Emaar’s pages do not print the tenure for this release, while Rumavi, Binayah, off-planproperties.ae and uae-offplan.com print freehold. The tenure is fixed in the sale and purchase agreement and the registered title, so a buyer should ask for it in writing together with the plot number.

What are the Dubai Land Department fees on an off-plan purchase?

The DLD initial-sale page prints a 2 percent seller share and a 2 percent purchaser share of the sale value, plus AED 10 knowledge and AED 10 innovation fees. On AED 2,722,888, 4 percent is AED 108,916, about USD 29,657. The contract states who pays which part, and other fees such as a trustee fee are printed by brokers, not by the DLD page.

Is a Golden Visa available with Creek Haven Dubai Creek Harbour?

No eligibility is claimed here. The DLD page describes a 10-year renewable permit for an owner of property bought for AED 2 million or more at the time of purchase, and asks for a title deed; the UAE government portal describes 5 years for the real estate route. Whether an off-plan unit counts, and at what stage, is a question for the authority before the purchase.

Which account receives the instalments?

Under Law No. 8 of 2007 and the DLD pages, amounts paid for off-plan units are deposited in an escrow account opened in the name of the project and dedicated to its construction. The contract should name the account and its bank, and the project number can be checked in the Project Status service. Emaar prints neither identifier for this release.

Why do the size figures differ between pages?

Emaar’s project page prints 1,193 to 1,871 sq ft, its Russian page prints 1,194 to 1,871, and its floor-plan file prints total areas from 730.44 to 1,860.43 sq ft across twelve plans. No plan totals 1,193 or 1,871. The pages do not say which measure each range uses, so a buyer asks which area the contract uses.

What should be asked before paying a reservation?

Ask for the unit number and price list, the handover date in the contract, a dated payment schedule, the escrow account name, the DLD project number, the Oqood registration, the tenure with plot number, a service-charge estimate and the legal name of the contracting entity. The full list is in the section above, and each item follows from a gap in the published pages.
