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.
This project's escrow account is at the bank named on the register above, watched by RERA. Pay into that account, never to a person.
Check the developer's record.
The Dubai Land Department project register lists 12 finished projects by this developer since 2022. 12 of the 12 were finished by the completion date DLD holds now. DLD replaces that date when a project is given more time and keeps no earlier dates, so this can't show which ones ran late. We have recorded the completion dates of their 11 projects under way since Jun 12, 2026. None has moved since then.
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 105,000 ÷ AED 1,600,000 = 6.6%. 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.

Arlo is an Emaar Properties project in Dubai Creek Harbour with one- to three-bedroom apartments and three-bedroom townhouses from AED 1,600,000, and a listed handover of October 2028. Its from price per square foot is about 14% below 1,163 one-bedroom sales in the area over the 12 months to November 2026, and 90% of the price is due before handover.
The Dubai Land Department lists 1,163 one-bedroom sales in Dubai Creek Harbour in the 12 months to November 2026. The from price per square foot is about 14% below their median. Those sales were across Creek Harbour, not in Arlo itself.
The plan is 20% on booking, 70% during construction and 10% at handover. At the from price that is AED 320,000 on booking, AED 1,120,000 during construction and AED 160,000 at handover. Separately, the 4% DLD fee comes to AED 64,000; ask when it is due. The listed handover is October 2028, so 90% of the price is paid before that date.
Apartments have one to three bedrooms and run between 705 and 1,745 sq ft, and the three-bedroom townhouses are 3,276 sq ft. Residents share a gym, a swimming pool and a kids' pool, plus a play area. The building has a lobby, covered parking and 24/7 security, and homes have balconies. The listing mentions smart waste management and energy-efficient systems; ask how they affect the service charge. Ownership is freehold.
The Creek Harbour waterfront is about 620 m away and Mediclinic Creek Harbour about 900 m. Creek Metro Station is about 1.8 km away, around 3 minutes by car. Swiss International Scientific School is about 1.9 km away. Dubai World Trade Centre is about 16 minutes by car.
