Overview

A 27-storey tower of 219 apartments on the water at Dubai Creek Harbour, launched by Emaar in March 2026 for Q2 2030. Emaar listed 18 units from AED 3,252,888 on 13 November 2026.

Creek Bay is a 27-storey residential tower of 219 apartments in Dubai Creek Harbour by Emaar. It went on sale at the end of March 2026, and Property Finder gives expected completion in April 2030, or Q2 2030. Emaar places it on the water's edge with views across the Creek to Downtown Dubai and Burj Khalifa.

The building has one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments. Property Finder gives sizes of 736 to 1,086 sq ft for one-bedroom units, 1,248 to 1,893 sq ft for two-bedroom units and 1,855 to 2,438 sq ft for three-bedroom units. The launch price was about AED 1.8 million. On 13 November 2026 Emaar's own inventory showed 18 units available from AED 3,252,888, with sizes of 1,250 to 2,011 sq ft, so the remaining stock is mostly two- and three-bedroom homes. Facilities listed by Emaar include an infinity pool, a children's pool, barbecue and picnic areas and an outdoor fitness area.

The payment schedule on Property Finder is 10% on booking, 70% in seven instalments during construction and 20% on handover. The same page's FAQ sets the figures out in a different order, so check the plan on the sales offer.

Who it suits: owner-occupiers and long-term investors looking for a larger apartment with water views in a district that already has residents, shops and a marina. What to weigh: the starting price has moved a long way from launch, and with handover in 2030 the money is committed for about three and a half years. Property Finder labels the project sold out while Emaar shows units, a conflict worth clearing up before you reserve.

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 Creek BayAED 3,252,888

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 130,116

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 3,384,024about £693K

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.
