Historical DLD Transaction Context

Asking price is 13.0% higher than nearby completed homes (+AED 308/sq.ft.)

13.0% above comparable sales

The developer asks AED 1,960,000 (~AED 2,685/sq.ft. for a published 730 sq.ft. starting unit), while comparable residential homes in Dubai Hills Estate sold for a median of AED 2,377/sq.ft. (AED 1,735,210 for the same size).

Historical transaction context: The asking rate is 13.0% (~AED 224,790 on a 730 sq.ft. unit) above recent nearby completed homes in Dubai Hills Estate. Because future property appreciation is never guaranteed, local secondary prices would need to rise by at least 13.0%—plus ~4%–6% in registration and resale costs—before handover just to match today's baseline.

Key takeaways before you buy

Plain-English summary of pricing, payment terms, and delivery outlook

Bottom Line

High pre-handover capital commitment: 80% due before completion

The published payment schedule requires 80% of the contract price (~AED 1,568,000) during construction, with 20% due at or after handover. (Verified Fact · Verified Launch Schedule)

Payment-Plan Exposure

80/20 Split

High pre-handover capital commitment: 80% due before completion

The published payment schedule requires 80% of the contract price (~AED 1,568,000) during construction, with 20% due at or after handover.

Why this matters: Front-loaded installment schedules increase capital tied up while the building is unfinished; confirm that milestones are linked to certified construction progress rather than calendar dates.

Pricing vs. Closed Sales

+13.0% (+AED 308/sq.ft.)

Asking price is 13.0% above nearby closed sales (+AED 308/sq.ft.)

The developer asks AED 2,685/sq.ft., whereas comparable homes in Dubai Hills Estate sold for a median of AED 2,377/sq.ft. (~AED 224,790 higher for the same area).

Why this matters: The asking rate is 13.0% (~AED 224,790 on a 730 sq.ft. unit) above recent nearby completed homes in Dubai Hills Estate. Because future property appreciation is never guaranteed, local secondary prices would need to rise by at least 13.0%—plus ~4%–6% in registration and resale costs—before handover just to match today's baseline.

Handover Horizon (Potential Risk)

~4.6 Yrs (2030-11)

Estimated ~4.6-year horizon until 2030-11 target handover (~55 months)

Target completion is scheduled for 2030-11. SKID does not assume or predict developer delays, but a ~4.6-year construction window carries potential schedule and market-cycle exposure.

Why this matters: Capital committed during construction earns no rental income until handover, and multi-year timelines carry potential exposure to contractor pacing, phased delivery, and market shifts.
