From AED 1.12 million, with handover due Q4 2029. Facts last verified 13 November 2026 against the sources listed at the end. ## Key facts | Fact | Value | | --- | --- | | Developer | [BNW Developments](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/developers/bnw-developments) | | Location | [RAK Central](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/ras-al-khaimah/rak-central), Ras Al Khaimah | | Status | under construction | | Developer's handover target | Q4 2029 | | Sales launched | 2026-02 | | Tenure | freehold | | Price | From AED 1,120,000 to AED 3,200,000 (published figure, 13 November 2026) | | Average price per sq ft | AED 2,554 | | Home types | Studio apartments, 1-bedroom apartments, 2-bedroom apartments, 3-bedroom apartments | | Total units | 222 | | Brand | Radisson Blu | | Golden Visa value test | Some homes are priced at or above AED 2,000,000 | ## Overview Radisson Blu Residences is the residential half of a two-part scheme by [BNW Developments](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/developers/bnw-developments) in [RAK Central](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/ras-al-khaimah/rak-central), the business and mixed-use district that Marjan, master developer of Al Marjan Island, is building beside Al Hamra Village. Announced in February 2026 with Radisson Hotel Group, it pairs 222 branded residences and 13 shops with a separate Radisson Blu hotel of 361 keys, which BNW also sells as hotel units from AED 1.35 million. The hotel side is to have five food and beverage venues, a rooftop terrace and pool bar, meeting space, a spa and gym, a business lounge and a kids' club, and residents receive hotel-delivered services. BNW quotes the residences from AED 1.12 million. Property Finder lists studios of about 421 sq ft from AED 1.2 million, one-bedroom apartments of 610 to 886 sq ft from AED 1.6 million, two-bedroom apartments of about 1,244 sq ft from AED 3 million and three-bedroom apartments of about 1,373 sq ft from AED 3.2 million. Construction started in March 2026 on Property Finder's record, and both sources give completion at the end of 2029. The plan is 10% on booking, eight instalments of 5% over 20 months and 50% on completion. With handover three years away, that schedule means most of the instalments fall due in the first two years, while half the price waits until the building is finished. Who it suits: investors who prefer a branded, serviced apartment in a planned business district rather than a beach address, and who are prepared to wait until late 2029. What to weigh: RAK Central is at an early stage, so demand depends on offices and businesses arriving as planned; this is the longest wait of BNW's projects; and the residents' service charges and any rental arrangements with the hotel operator should be read carefully before booking. BNW gives about 15 minutes to Ras Al Khaimah International Airport and 45 to Dubai International. ## Unit types and prices | Unit type | Price from | Price to | Size | Bathrooms | Availability | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Studio apartments | AED 1,200,000 | | 421 sq ft | | available | | 1-bedroom apartments | AED 1,600,000 | | 610 to 886 sq ft | | available | | 2-bedroom apartments | AED 3,000,000 | | 1,244 sq ft | | available | | 3-bedroom apartments | AED 3,200,000 | | 1,373 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 ### 10/40/50 - Booking deposit: 10% (Immediate) - Instalment 1: 5% (1 month from booking) - Instalment 2: 5% (2 months from booking) - Instalment 3: 5% (5 months from booking) - Instalment 4: 5% (8 months from booking) - Instalment 5: 5% (11 months from booking) - Instalment 6: 5% (14 months from booking) - Instalment 7: 5% (17 months from booking) - Instalment 8: 5% (20 months from booking) - On completion: 50% (Q4 2029) Paid before handover: 50%.
