High return potential!
How can you make a profit from investing in the project?
Rental income
Rent prices in Dubai have jumped by 28.5% in the past year alone. A quiet, family-friendly neighborhood with parks, schools, and shopping areas will always attract families, couples, and individuals looking to rent a studio or apartment for the long term. You can use a property management company to take care of all the maintenance and management. You just have to sit back and relax.
Resale after key delivery
Dubai's population, which currently stands at 3.6 million (an increase of 1.4% in one year), continues to grow steadily, with the number expected to reach 5.8 million by 2040. More and more foreigners are moving to Dubai and looking to buy a ready-to-move-in apartment.
Flip deal
The developer company allows you to sell the property during its development phase after paying 40% + 4% to the Dubai Land Department (DLD). You don't have to wait for the development to be completed in Q4 2026. You can sell it after a year for a higher price.
Investment for living in Dubai
If you buy a property worth more than $205,000, you can get a residence visa simply because you have a property in Dubai. Many people do this because of the high standard of living, low crime rate, and opportunities that Dubai has to offer for workers and business people.

Frequently Asked Questions
When you purchase a property, you pay a one-time fee of 4% of its price to the Land Department. You do not pay any taxes on profits when you decide to sell the property. The entire return on the property’s appreciation is yours!
Several payment options are available for purchasing a property in the project. You can pay in cash, use cryptocurrencies, credit cards, or make a bank transfer. In UAE, there is no limit on the amount of cash, and there is no need to declare the source of the funds. Important: the payment goes directly to the construction company and not through the real estate agent!
Yes, definitely. When you purchase the property, you become the owner of the property and the land forever until you decide to sell it.
The funds you transfer to the construction company are held in an escrow account with bank support, ensuring the safety of investors’ funds until the property is delivered. In UAE, there are strict government oversight, control, and enforcement mechanisms in place to fully protect investors’ funds. You do not need to open a bank account or get involved in the matter as everything is handled by the construction company.
No, there is no need. In UAE, there is a uniform property purchase contract for all construction companies, which cannot be changed.
