Overview

A Palace-branded Emaar tower on the Business Bay side of Downtown Dubai, launched May 2026 for Q2 2031. One- to four-bedroom apartments and a six-bedroom penthouse; Emaar listed 17 units from AED 3,232,888 on 13 November 2026.

Avarra by Palace is a branded residential tower by Emaar, launched in May 2026. Emaar groups it with its Downtown Dubai releases, while its project address and Property Finder place it in Business Bay, a few minutes' drive from Downtown Dubai. Property Finder gives expected completion in June 2031, the latest handover among Emaar's current central releases.

The mix runs from one- to four-bedroom apartments and includes one six-bedroom penthouse of about 14,861 sq ft. Property Finder's FAQ lists one-bedroom units of 788 to 828 sq ft from AED 2.7 million, two-bedroom units of 1,199 to 1,449 sq ft from AED 4 million, three-bedroom units of 1,640 to 1,848 sq ft from AED 5.7 million and four-bedroom units of 4,225 to 4,795 sq ft from AED 13 million. On 13 November 2026 Emaar's inventory showed 17 units available from AED 3,232,888, with sizes of 828 to 1,818 sq ft. Facilities include a pool, gym, yoga deck, cabanas, steam and sauna rooms and a jogging track.

The plan on Property Finder is 10% on booking, 80% during construction and 10% on handover. A five-year build with only 10% at the end spreads most of the cost over the construction period.

Who it suits: buyers who want a Palace-branded home in central Dubai and are comfortable with a 2031 handover. What to weigh: the long timeline means more market cycles before completion, and branded buildings usually carry higher service charges. Property Finder recorded resale transactions from March 2026, so early buyers are already reselling.

Buying costs

Government fees are paid on top of the purchase price. This is the position for the entry-level home; costs scale with price. In Dubai the registration authority is the DLD.

Purchase priceEntry price at Avarra by PalaceAED 3,232,888

DLD transfer fee (4%)Paid to the Dubai Land Department on registration. The department lists it as 2% from each party, but contracts almost always pass the full 4% to the buyer, so a developer's '50% DLD waiver' means the developer is paying its own listed half. Off-plan, it is paid when the sale is registered in the Oqood system.AED 129,316

Oqood registration admin feeOqood portal fee of AED 1,000 plus knowledge and innovation fees, for registering the off-plan sale contract.AED 1,020

Estimated total to completeAED 3,363,224about £689K

Developers may add their own administration charge on off-plan sales. It is set by the developer, not the land department, so it is not included in this estimate: ask for it in writing before you reserve. Adjust the assumptions in the buying cost calculator.

What to weigh
