Overview

Two Emaar towers near Creek Beach in Dubai Creek Harbour, launched December 2024 for Q1 2029. On 13 November 2026 Emaar had three units left, from AED 3,991,888, all in the three-bedroom size range.

Altus is a two-tower residential project in Dubai Creek Harbour by Emaar, set in the district near Creek Beach. Sales opened in December 2024, and Property Finder gives expected completion in January 2029. Emaar points to the waterfront promenade, a cycling track and skate park, sports courts, and links to the planned ferry terminal and metro station.

Property Finder gives one-bedroom units of 664 to 822 sq ft, two-bedroom units of 1,163 to 1,408 sq ft and three-bedroom units of 1,596 to 1,927 sq ft. Emaar's launch price was about AED 1.6 million. By 13 November 2026 its inventory showed only three units, from AED 3,991,888, with sizes of 1,596 to 1,927 sq ft, which matches the three-bedroom range. The amenity list on Property Finder includes an infinity pool, an indoor lap pool, a gym, a spa with sauna and steam room, a children's pool and a co-working space.

The launch plan was 20% on booking, 70% during construction and 10% on handover. With construction more than a year in, a buyer today may face a larger first payment to catch up with instalments already called, so ask for the exact schedule.

Who it suits: a family buyer who wants a three-bedroom apartment in Creek Harbour with handover in early 2029. What to weigh: this is the tail end of the stock, so the choice is three units. Resale listings in the same towers are plentiful on the portals and worth comparing against Emaar's price.

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 3-bedroom apartment at AltusAED 3,991,888

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 159,676

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 4,152,584about £851K

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.
