Facts last verified 13 November 2026 against the sources listed at the end. ## Key facts | Fact | Value | | --- | --- | | Developer | [Emaar Properties](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/developers/emaar) | | Location | [Dubai Creek Harbour](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/dubai-creek-harbour), Dubai | | Status | launched | | Developer's handover target | Q3 2030 | | Sales launched | 2026-06 | | Tenure | freehold | | Price | From AED 1,960,000 to AED 6,500,000 (developer price list, 13 November 2026) | | Average price per sq ft | AED 2,518 | | Home types | 1-bedroom apartments, 2-bedroom apartments, 3-bedroom apartments, 4-bedroom apartments | | Total units | 491 | | Floors | 53 | | Buildings | 1 | | Golden Visa value test | Some homes are priced at or above AED 2,000,000 | ## Overview Valia is a single high-rise in [Dubai Creek Harbour](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/dubai-creek-harbour) by [Emaar](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/developers/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. ## Unit types and prices | Unit type | Price from | Price to | Size | Bathrooms | Availability | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1-bedroom apartments | AED 2,100,000 | | 816 to 829 sq ft | | available | | 2-bedroom apartments | AED 3,100,000 | | 1,252 sq ft | | available | | 3-bedroom apartments | AED 4,100,000 | | 1,652 to 1,694 sq ft | | available | | 4-bedroom apartments | AED 6,500,000 | | 2,560 to 2,561 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 ### 20/60/20 - Down payment: 20% (At booking) - During construction: 60% (Three instalments) - On handover: 20% (Q3 2030) Paid before handover: 80%.
