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. ## Unit types and prices | Unit type | Price from | Price to | Size | Bathrooms | Availability | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1-bedroom apartments | Not published | | 736 to 1,086 sq ft | | limited | | 2-bedroom apartments | Not published | | 1,248 to 1,893 sq ft | | available | | 3-bedroom apartments | Not published | | 1,855 to 2,438 sq ft | | available | Prices are published starting prices from the developer or Property Finder, as each type's note says, checked 13 November 2026. ## Payment plans ### 10/70/20 - Down payment: 10% (At booking) - During construction: 70% (Seven instalments) - On handover: 20% (Q2 2030) Paid before handover: 80%.
