How Akala Residences compares

Entry here is AED 3.8M, against a median of AED 3.0M across the 3 priced projects in Zabeel 1&2, the highest entry price in the community. The plan opens at 10% down, against a Dubai median of 20%, so it asks 10% less up front than the typical plan. Handover lands in Q4 2029, alongside 55 other projects completing in the same quarter. Arada has 25 projects in our catalogue.

Master plan

The developer’s own site plan for Akala Residences, showing how the buildings, roads and open space sit together.

What you pay, and when

Payments are staged 10% on booking, 45% during construction and 45% at handover. At the AED 3,799,000 entry price, that is AED 380,000 to reserve a unit, AED 1,710,000 across the build, and AED 1,710,000 due on completion.

The Dubai Land Department registration fee is 4% of the purchase price, payable on top: about AED 152,000 at this entry price. Under Dubai's Law 8 of 2007, that 10% booking payment goes into a RERA-supervised escrow account rather than to Arada directly, and is drawn down against certified construction progress.

What the entry price works out at

The cheapest unit with a published size is 1,036 square feet at AED 3,799,000, which works out at AED 3,667 per square foot. Stated sizes run from 1,036 to 14,628 square feet.

Ownership and residency

The entry price sits at or above the AED 2,000,000 property threshold the 10 year UAE golden visa asks for, so the cheapest unit in the development qualifies on its own.

Who it suits

The development is Apartments and Penthouse in 1 to 6 bedroom layouts. 1 bedroom units start at AED 3,799,000 and 6 bedroom units at AED 88,000,000, so one building covers a first rental purchase and a family home.

What is on site

Shared facilities recorded for Akala Residences include infinity pool, yoga space, spa, cinema and gym. The development is 24 units in total. 19 floor plans are published for it.
