The handover date (Sep 2026) is too close or already past to estimate the dates. Ask the developer for its current schedule.
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 105,000 ÷ AED 1,290,000 = 8.1%. 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.

Cedar is an Emaar Properties complex of 272 apartments in the Creek Beach part of Dubai Creek Harbour, with one- to three-bedroom homes from AED 1,290,000. The listed handover of September 2026 has passed and may be out of date, so ask Emaar for the current date and the completion certificate.
The listed handover is September 2026, two months ago, so the date may be out of date. Ask Emaar for the current handover date and whether the buildings have their completion certificate. If you can, view the unit you would buy before you commit.
The plan is 10% on booking, 80% during construction and 10% at handover. At the from price that is AED 129,000 on booking, AED 1,032,000 during construction and AED 129,000 at handover, so 90% is paid before handover. Separately, the 4% DLD fee comes to AED 51,600; ask when it is due. Because the listed date has passed, ask which stages are due now and get the current schedule in writing.
Cedar has four buildings with 272 apartments of one to three bedrooms. The listing gives sizes of 613 to 1,619 sq ft, but another figure puts the largest at 1,691 sq ft, so check the size on the floor plan. Layouts include a balcony, a closet and a laundry room. Shared facilities include a family pool, a splash pad and a children's pool, a play area for toddlers, two town squares, a gym set on a private patio, a barbecue area and a workspace for residents.
The Dubai Creek Harbour waterfront is about 740 m away and a Mediclinic clinic about 840 m. Creek Metro Station is about 2 km away, around 4 minutes by car. Swiss International Scientific School is about 2.1 km away and Universal American School about 2.4 km. Dubai World Trade Centre is about 17 minutes by car.
