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.

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.
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. Ask Nova Power Real Estate for the estimate.
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.

Dreamlife Residences is a Nova Power Real Estate building on Dubai Islands with 1- to 3-bedroom apartments from AED 1,722,957 and a listed handover of March 2027. The from price per square foot is about 25% below 1,596 similar sales across the islands.
The from price per square foot is about 25% below the median of 1,596 similar one-bedroom sales over the 12 months from October 2025 to November 2026. Those sales were across Dubai Islands, not in this building. The check compares price per square foot, not the total price, so ask what the from price buys: the floor, the view and whether the unit faces the sea.
The plan is 10% on booking, 40% during construction and 50% at handover. At the from price that is AED 172,296 on booking and AED 689,183 during the build, so AED 861,479 is paid before handover and the same again at handover. Separately, the 4% DLD fee comes to AED 68,918; ask when it is due. The listed handover is March 2027, about four months away, so ask when the construction payments fall due and how far the building has got.
A one-bedroom apartment is about 803 sq ft; a two-bedroom is about 1,137 sq ft. The listing covers up to three bedrooms and sizes up to 1,295 sq ft, but shows only two floor plans, so ask for the 3-bedroom layout. Select units have enclosed kitchens, and the listing says a hospitality team will manage the building. Listed amenities include a mini-golf course, a smart gym, a BBQ area, a double-height lobby and a pool deck with a waterfall feature.
Deira Islands Beach is about 990 m away and a polyclinic about 1.4 km. Gold Souq Metro Station is about 1.8 km away, a seven-minute drive. The nearest school is about 2.2 km away, and Dubai World Trade Centre is about 16 minutes by car. The ownership is freehold.
