The dates are our estimate: we spread the construction share evenly between now and the keys. The developer's real dates follow the building work, so they can move.
Your payments go into the project's escrow account, which RERA watches, not straight to the developer.
A mortgage at the keys
Before you buy
Pay into the project's escrow account only.
Every off-plan project in Dubai must have an escrow account at a bank, watched by RERA. Pay into that account, never to a person. Ask for the account number.
Budget for the service charge.
Once the building is finished you pay a yearly service charge per sq ft, set from the building's budget and approved by RERA. "Rent and yield" below gives the figure for this project.
Register the sale with Oqood.
The Land Department records off-plan sales in its Oqood register. Until your sale is on it, the home isn't in your name.

Gross yield is a year's rent before costs, as a share of the price. At the from price: AED 58,500 ÷ AED 990,000 = 5.9%. The home earns nothing until the keys, and new buildings often rent for more than older ones.
Rents come from Ejari, Dubai's register of rent contracts: new residential contracts in the area, all buildings. A median is the middle one: half are lower, half higher.

Arche Residences is a low-rise Evera Real Estate building in Dubai South with one- and two-bedroom apartments from AED 990,000 and a listed handover of September 2028. The price check puts it 22% below 2,910 one-bedroom sales in Dubai World Central over the 12 months to November 2026, and 70% of the price is due at handover.
In the 12 months to November 2026, the Dubai Land Department recorded 2,910 off-plan one-bedroom sales in Dubai World Central. The price check puts this project's from price per square foot 22% below their median. That figure covers the whole area, so ask which unit the from price applies to.
The plan is 10% on booking, 20% during construction and 70% at handover. At the from price you pay AED 99,000 on booking, AED 198,000 during the build and AED 693,000 at handover, listed for September 2028, about 22 months from now. Separately, the 4% Land Department fee comes to AED 39,600; ask when it is due.
There are one- and two-bedroom apartments, listed at 801 to 1,052 sq ft. The developer's description gives 800 sq ft for one bedroom and 1,052 sq ft for two. Evera lists walk-in wardrobes, en-suite bathrooms, balconies and terraces and smart home controls, and some layouts have a study. Shared facilities include a pool with family cabanas, a gym, a yoga area, a play area, barbecue spaces, a lounge and an outdoor cinema.
A polyclinic is about 900 m away, around 5 minutes by car. Greenfield International School is about 11 minutes by car and South View School about 16. Expo 2020 Metro Station is about 8.2 km away, around 26 minutes by car, and Jumeirah Lakes Towers about 34.
