Albero
A tower of 479 homes with townhouses in Green Gate, Dubai Creek Harbour, launched by Emaar in June 2025 for Q3 2029. Emaar listed 23 units from AED 1,813,888 on 13 November 2026, the most in the quarter.
What works
- The widest current availability in Green Gate: 23 units on Emaar's inventory on 13 November 2026, including townhouse sizes.
- Two payment options, including a plan that completes payment before handover.
- Next to the planned community park, sports park and neighbourhood plaza.
What to weigh
- Shares its handover year with Altan and other Green Gate towers.
- Townhouses at about AED 7 million compete with villas elsewhere in Dubai.
- Property Finder lists the project as sold out, which conflicts with Emaar's inventory.
Golf Greens
Apartment towers overlooking the fairways in DAMAC Hills. Two-bedroom apartments listed from AED 2,650,000 and three-bedroom from AED 4,940,000 in November 2026, with handover shown as Q1 2028.
What works
- Golf-course setting in DAMAC Hills, with the golf club, wave pool and mall already open.
- Large layouts: listed two-bedroom apartments reach 2,615 sq ft and three-bedroom units 4,948 sq ft.
- A choice of two published plans, with 40% or 50% left until completion.
What to weigh
- Handover is Q1 2028 on DAMAC's unit cards but Q1 2027 in its headline figures and March 2027 on Property Finder; confirm it in the sale agreement.
- Most of the pre-completion payments fall within 14 to 15 months of purchase.
- Property Finder recorded a resale two-bedroom of the same size selling for less than DAMAC's current list price.
