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.
Silva
Emaar's Silva tower in Green Gate, Dubai Creek Harbour: one- to three-bedroom apartments and three-bedroom townhouses, launched August 2025 for Q3 2029. Emaar listed 8 units from AED 1,824,888 on 13 November 2026.
What works
- Entry price close to launch: AED 1,824,888 against a launch price of about AED 1.8 million.
- Townhouses as well as apartments, which is uncommon in a tower release.
- Emaar's inventory showed eight units available on 13 November 2026.
What to weigh
- Several Emaar towers in Green Gate complete in 2029, so rental competition at handover is likely.
- The payment plan is published only in outline; get the instalment dates in writing.
- Property Finder lists the project as sold out, which conflicts with Emaar's inventory.
