Overview

Emaar's newest Dubai Creek Harbour tower: 491 apartments over 53 storeys on a mixed-use podium, with one- to four-bedroom homes from AED 1.96 million and handover planned for Q3 2030.

Valia is a single high-rise in Dubai Creek Harbour by Emaar, and the most recent tower Emaar has released in the district. Emaar lists it among its new launches with a starting price of AED 1,960,000. Property Finder records bookings from June 2026 and expected completion in August 2030, which it also gives as Q3 2030.

The building has 491 apartments over 53 storeys, set on a podium with shops and restaurants, two basement levels and a rooftop. Homes run from one to four bedrooms. Property Finder lists one-bedroom units of about 816 to 829 sq ft from AED 2.1 million, two-bedroom units of 1,252 sq ft from AED 3.1 million, three-bedroom units of 1,652 to 1,694 sq ft from AED 4.1 million, and four-bedroom units of about 2,560 sq ft from AED 6.5 million. Emaar describes high glazing, aluminium cladding and a private balcony for every unit. Shared facilities include a yoga deck, padel court, cabanas and an outdoor fitness area.

The plan on Property Finder is 20% on booking, 60% in three instalments during construction and 20% on handover. That is a heavier start than the 10% deposits on most recent Emaar launches in the district, so check the schedule on your sales offer.

Who it suits: buyers who want a new-build apartment in an established Emaar district, with Creek, park and skyline views, and who are content to wait until 2030. What to weigh: Emaar has released well over a dozen towers in Dubai Creek Harbour since 2024, and several complete between 2027 and 2030, so resale and rental competition from nearby stock will be real. Emaar's inventory showed no units on general release on 13 November 2026, so ask an adviser what can be reserved and at what 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 price at ValiaAED 1,960,000

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 78,400

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 2,039,420about £418K

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.
