## Overview

Altus is a two-tower residential project in [Dubai Creek Harbour](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/dubai-creek-harbour) by [Emaar](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/developers/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.
