Altan
A 58-storey Emaar tower with canal-side townhouses in Green Gate, Dubai Creek Harbour, launched June 2025 for Q3 2029. Emaar listed 11 units from AED 1,813,888 on 13 November 2026.
What works
- Entry price of AED 1,813,888 on Emaar's inventory on 13 November 2026.
- 58 storeys, so upper floors have long views over the Creek and city.
- Canal-side setting in Green Gate, with parks and a promenade planned around it.
What to weigh
- Remaining stock is apartments only, on Emaar's listed size range.
- Property Finder shows conflicting prices and labels the project sold out; take figures from Emaar.
- Sister tower Albero and other Green Gate towers hand over in the same year.
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.
