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. Ask Emaar Properties 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.
Is the price fair?
Dubai Land Department recorded 258 off-plan sales of 1-bed apartments of 621 sq ft to 931 sq ft in Mina Rashid, from Nov 10, 2025 to Nov 9, 2026. Here is what they sold for, and where this project's from price sits.
We compare with off-plan sales across Mina Rashid, as this project isn't on the Dubai Land Department register yet or has too few sales.

There is no DLD service charge for this project or its area, so we leave out the service charge and the net yield.
Gross yield is a year's rent before costs, as a share of the price. At the from price: AED 74,999 ÷ AED 1,700,000 = 4.4%. 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.

Ocean Star is an Emaar Properties apartment project in Rashid Yachts and Marina, with one- to three-bedroom homes from AED 1,700,000 and a listed handover of July 2028. Its from price per square foot is 26% below 234 similar one-bedroom off-plan sales in Mina Rashid over the 12 months to October 2026.
The Dubai Land Department lists 234 one-bedroom off-plan sales in Mina Rashid in the 12 months to October 2026, and the from price per square foot here is 26% below their median. These are sales across the area, not sales in Ocean Star alone. Ask for the price and size of the exact unit you want and compare it with recent sales.
The plan is 10 / 80 / 10. At the from price, booking takes AED 170,000, construction payments add up to AED 1,360,000 and AED 170,000 is left for handover. Separately, the 4% DLD fee comes to AED 68,000; ask when it is due.
Homes have one to three bedrooms, with a listed range of 790 to 2,025 sq ft. The listing gives about 791 sq ft for one bedroom, 1,259 for two and 1,984 for three, so check the floor plans if you want the largest layout. Apartments have open kitchens, en-suite bathrooms and balconies. Residents get a canal pool, a gym, a health clinic on site, gardens, sports facilities, play areas and a waterfront promenade.
A clinic is about 1.2 km away. Al Ras Metro Station is about 2.5 km away, around 5 minutes by car. Deira Islands Beach is about 3.2 km away, New Academy School about 3.9 km, and Dubai World Trade Centre about 13 minutes by car.
