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.
Rent and yield
Service charge a year, from the keysThe area median, AED 12 per sq ft from 8 buildings, as of 2023, for the smallest home (3,665 sq ft)
AED 43,980
There is no median rent from Ejari for similar homes here, so we leave out the gross and net yield.
Gross yield is a year's rent before costs, as a share of the price.
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.

Kensington Gardens is a Leos Development community of 3- to 7-bedroom villas and townhouses in International City, from AED 3,200,000 with handover listed for December 2027. The home sizes in the listing do not match each other, so ask for the floor plan of your unit before you book.
Start with the sizes. The listing gives 3,665 to 6,203 sq ft, but the developer's per-bedroom figures start lower: about 2,719 sq ft for three bedrooms and 3,089 sq ft for four, with 3,665 sq ft listed for five bedrooms. Ask Leos Development for the floor plan and the built-up area of the exact unit, and check that the sale agreement states it.
The listing describes the three- to five-bedroom homes as townhouses and the six- and seven-bedroom homes as standalone villas. Shared facilities include a gym, a children's pool and play area and covered parking, and homes have central air conditioning. The homes are freehold.
The plan is 20% on booking, 40% during construction and 40% on handover. At the from price that is AED 640,000 to book, AED 1,280,000 during the build and AED 1,280,000 on handover, listed for December 2027, about 13 months away. The 4% DLD fee comes to AED 128,000. Ask how the construction payment is split.
By our map, the American University in The Emirates is about 1.1 km away and the Symbiosis Medical Centre about 1.8 km. GEMS Wellington Academy is about 3.2 km away, about 15 minutes by car by our estimate, and Indian International School about 4.2 km. Centrepoint Metro Station (formerly Rashidiya) is about 11 km away, about 21 minutes by car, and Business Bay about 26 minutes.
