The handover date (Dec 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. "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 52,000 ÷ AED 1,300,000 = 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.

Zenith J1 is a Zenith Group apartment project in Jumeirah Village Circle with studios to three-bedroom homes from AED 1,300,000. Its listed handover of December 2025 has passed and may be out of date, so ask the developer for the current date before you pay, as 60% of the price is due at handover.
The listed handover is December 2025, almost a year ago at the time of writing. That date may be out of date, so ask Zenith Group where construction stands and whether the building has its completion certificate. At the from price, AED 780,000 falls due at handover.
The plan is 10% on booking, 30% during construction and 60% at handover. At the from price that is AED 130,000, AED 390,000 and AED 780,000, so AED 520,000 is paid before handover. Given the listed date, ask which of these payments are still to come. Separately, the 4% DLD fee comes to AED 52,000; ask when it is due.
Homes run from studios to three bedrooms, from 677 to 3,168 sq ft. Facilities listed include a gym, a jacuzzi, a sauna, a pet care facility and a coffee shop. The building also lists a children's pool, 24/7 security and covered parking.
