  • The handover date (Dec 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 55,385 ÷ AED 639,000 = 8.7%. The home earns nothing until the keys, and new buildings often rent for more than older ones.

We don't take off empty months, management or furnishing. How we work out yields

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.

About Rise by Blanco Thornton

Rise by Blanco Thornton is a Blanco Thornton building in International City with 1- and 2-bedroom apartments from AED 639,000 and handover listed for December 2026. The price check puts the from price per square foot 30% below 104 similar one-bedroom sales in Warsan Fourth over the 12 months to November 2026.

Handover is listed for next month. A listed date can slip, so ask the developer for the current status of the building and whether it has its completion certificate. If you can, visit and check the unit itself before paying.

Over the 12 months to November 2026, the Dubai Land Department recorded 104 one-bedroom off-plan sales in Warsan Fourth. The from price per square foot is 30% below their median. That is an area comparison, not one with this building.

The plan is 10% on booking, 50% during construction and 40% on handover. At the from price that is AED 63,900, AED 319,500 and AED 255,600. With handover this close, ask which of the construction payments have fallen due. The 4% DLD fee comes to AED 25,560.

The listing gives sizes of 581 to 1,086 sq ft, but the developer's own figures for two-bedroom homes run to 1,409 sq ft, so ask for the floor plan of your unit. The listing names built-in kitchen appliances, a shared pool, a children's pool, a gym and covered parking. By our map, Apple International Poly Clinic is about 440 m away and Repton School Dubai about 3.5 km. Centrepoint Metro Station (formerly Rashidiya) is about 8.8 km away, around 15 minutes by car by our estimate, and Downtown Dubai about 24 minutes.
