The handover date (Sep 2025) 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.
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. Ask Vakson Real Estate 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.

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 1,601,469 = 4.7%. 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.

Riva Residence is a Vakson Real Estate apartment project in Dubai Maritime City with one to three bedrooms from AED 1,601,469; its listed handover of September 2025 has passed. The from price is about 37% below 1,019 similar one-bedroom sales in Dubai Maritime City (12 months to November 2026).
The listed handover was September 2025, more than a year ago, so the date may be out of date. Ask the developer whether the building has its completion certificate and when handover is now expected. Also confirm the developer named on the sale agreement. The listing does not state the ownership type, so confirm the ownership terms with the developer.
The from price is about 37% below 1,019 similar one-bedroom sales in Dubai Maritime City (12 months to November 2026), as listed by the Dubai Land Department. The plan is 20% on booking, 50% during construction and 30% at handover: about AED 320,300, AED 800,700 and AED 480,400 at the from price. Ask when the 50% construction payment falls due. Separately, the 4% DLD fee comes to about AED 64,060; ask when it is due.
The developer lists one bedroom at 797 sq ft, two at 1,324 sq ft and three at 2,045 sq ft. Shared facilities are a gym, a pool, a barbecue area and a play area for children, and the developer mentions Queen Elizabeth 2 access; ask what it includes. The homes are described as furnished, so ask what furniture comes with your unit.
The developer places the building between Port Rashid and Drydocks World. Al Ghubaiba Metro Station is about 2.6 km away, around 8 minutes by car, and Nikki Beach about 2.6 km. Jumeirah Baccalaureate School is about 5.7 km away, and Dubai World Trade Centre about 10 minutes by car by our estimate.
