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 800,000 ÷ AED 4,200,000 = 19%. 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.

Opal Gardens is a Nakheel villa community in Mohammed Bin Rashid City, with four- to six-bedroom homes from AED 4,200,000. The listed handover was September 2026, two months ago, so ask about the completion certificate and the current handover status before you pay.
Start with the handover date. Nakheel listed September 2026, which has now passed, so the date may be out of date. Ask whether the community has a completion certificate and when handover is now expected. The listing places the villas in District 11 of Mohammed Bin Rashid City and tags the project as lagoon living.
The plan is 10 / 50 / 40. At the from price of AED 4,200,000, that is AED 420,000 on booking, AED 2,100,000 during construction and AED 1,680,000 at handover. The 4% Land Department fee adds AED 168,000.
The listing gives four- to six-bedroom villas of 3,507 to 8,453 sq ft. The developer's description quotes different sizes, with five-bedroom villas up to 12,120 sq ft, so ask for the floor plans and the exact size of the home you want. Shared facilities listed include a gym, a shared pool, a pool for children, a barbecue area and 24/7 security. The description also names a different company as developer, so confirm the developer on the sale agreement.
