Overview

An Emaar tower of apartments and townhouses in the Creek Beach area of Dubai Creek Harbour, launched August 2024 for Q3 2028. Emaar listed two units from AED 2,900,888 on 13 November 2026.

Valo is a residential building in the Creek Beach part of Dubai Creek Harbour by Emaar. Sales opened in August 2024 and Property Finder gives expected completion in September 2028. Emaar lists a 6,000 sq m podium of facilities and names The Viewing Point, Creek Beach, Creek Marina and Central Park as nearby.

The mix is one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments and three-bedroom townhouses. Property Finder gives one-bedroom units of 751 to 796 sq ft, two-bedroom units of 1,071 to 1,263 sq ft, three-bedroom apartments of 1,785 to 1,876 sq ft and townhouses of about 2,046 sq ft. Emaar's launch price was AED 1.79 million. On 13 November 2026 its inventory showed two units left, from AED 2,900,888, with sizes of 1,186 to 1,810 sq ft. The podium includes a pool, a children's pool, indoor and outdoor gyms, a yoga area and barbecue space.

The launch plan on Property Finder was 10% on booking, 80% during construction and 10% on handover.

Who it suits: a buyer who wants a two- or three-bedroom near the beach and promenade with handover in under two years. What to weigh: with two units left, there is little choice of floor or view, and resale units in the same building are likely to be offered at similar prices.

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 ValoAED 2,900,888
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 116,036
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 3,017,944about £618K

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.
