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.
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 50,000 ÷ AED 689,000 = 7.3%. 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.

Empire Livings is an Empire Development project in Dubai Science Park with studios, one-bedroom apartments and duplexes from AED 689,000, and handover listed for June 2027. The from price is 5.8% below 35 similar studio sales in the same project (24 months to November 2026).
The from price is 5.8% below 35 similar studio sales in Empire Livings (24 months to November 2026). These are sales in this project registered with the Dubai Land Department. Compare the floor and view of your unit with those sales.
The plan is 20% on booking, 66% during construction and 14% at handover. At the from price that is AED 137,800 on booking, AED 454,740 during construction and AED 96,460 at handover. Separately, the 4% DLD fee comes to AED 27,560; ask when it is due. The listed handover is June 2027, about seven months away, so ask when the 66% construction payment falls due.
Studios start at about 374 sq ft and one-bedroom apartments at about 526 sq ft. The listing also has one-bedroom duplexes and gives sizes up to 1,025 sq ft, but it has no floor plans, so ask for the duplex layouts before you choose. Every home has smart controls for lights, temperature and security. Shared facilities include a pool, a play area for children and a barbecue area, and the building is next to a park. It is freehold.
The OrthoPro clinic is about 510 m away and Foremarke school about 670 m. GEMS Founders School is about 1.2 km away and Nord Anglia International School about 1.9 km. The nearest metro, Mall of the Emirates, is about 6.5 km away, roughly 16 minutes by car. Dubai Internet City is about 18 minutes by car, by our estimate.
