What works
- Construction past 50% at the end of 2025, with handover expected in Q2 2028.
- Bought from the developer, so no resale premium to a previous owner.
- Park and canal setting near the Beach Boulevard, as Emaar describes it.
What to weigh
- Only two units were on Emaar's inventory on 13 November 2026.
- Most of the price may be payable on signing because construction is well advanced.

What works
- Next to Creek Beach and a new park, with childcare and retail nearby, as Emaar describes it.
- Developer stock in a project whose launch dates back several years, so completion should be close.
- Facilities aimed at families, including separate play areas for toddlers.
What to weigh
