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.
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. "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 58,500 ÷ AED 2,080,000 = 2.8%. 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.
