How Celestara Residences compares

Entry here is AED 498,000, against a median of AED 764,977 across the 12 priced projects in District 17, the lowest entry price in the community.

Measured across our own catalogue of Dubai off-plan projects, refreshed with the source listings. Entry price is the lowest advertised unit price in a project, not an average transaction value.

What you pay, and when

The published payment plan is 20% on booking, 30% during construction and 50% at handover. At the AED 498,000 entry price, that is AED 100,000 to reserve a unit, AED 149,000 across the build, and AED 249,000 due on completion.

Dubai Land Department registration is charged at 4% of the purchase price on top, which is about AED 20,000 at this entry price. That 20% booking payment does not go to Aldhana Development directly: under Dubai's Law 8 of 2007 a registered project holds it in a RERA-supervised escrow account, drawn down against certified construction progress.

What the entry price works out at

The cheapest unit with a published size is 268 square feet at AED 498,000, which works out at AED 1,858 per square foot. Stated sizes run from 268 to 1,240 square feet.

Ownership and residency

Celestara Residences is a freehold development, so a buyer of any nationality can own a unit outright and hold the title deed. The entry price is below the AED 2,000,000 property threshold for the 10 year UAE golden visa.

Who it suits
