Aeon
Two Emaar towers in Dubai Creek Harbour, launched May 2024 and past 50% built by the end of 2025, with handover in Q2 2028. Emaar listed two units from AED 3,197,888 on 13 November 2026.
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.
- Current entry price of AED 3,197,888 compares with AED 1.71 million at launch, a different unit size.
Creek Haven
A one-building release of one- to three-bedroom apartments in Dubai Creek Harbour by Emaar, launched in March 2026 for Q1 2030. Emaar listed 13 units from AED 2,722,888 on 13 November 2026.
What works
- Emaar's own inventory showed 13 units available on 13 November 2026.
- Two payment options, including one that clears the balance before handover.
- Waterfront position in an Emaar district with schools, retail and a marina already open.
What to weigh
- Remaining stock starts at AED 2,722,888, well above the AED 1.86 million launch price.
- Property Finder lists the project as sold out, which conflicts with Emaar's inventory; confirm availability directly.
- Handover is not due until Q1 2030, with several Emaar towers in the district completing earlier.
