Master plan

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

What you pay, and when

The published payment plan is 10% on booking, 40% during construction and 50% at handover. At the AED 3,911,000 entry price, that is AED 391,000 to reserve a unit, AED 1,564,000 across the build, and AED 1,956,000 due on completion.

On top of the price, the Dubai Land Department charges 4% to register the sale, about AED 156,000 at this entry price. That 10% booking payment is not paid to Arada directly: Dubai's Law 8 of 2007 requires a registered project to hold 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 1,060 square feet at AED 3,911,000, which works out at AED 3,690 per square foot. Stated sizes run from 1,060 to 11,795 square feet.

Handover and construction

The published handover date is Q4 2028. Construction was last recorded at 0% complete.

Ownership and residency

The 10 year UAE golden visa has a property threshold of AED 2,000,000, and the entry price is at or above it, so the cheapest unit in the development qualifies on its own.

Who it suits

The development is Apartments, Duplex and Penthouse in 1 to 5 bedroom layouts. 1 bedroom units start at AED 3,911,000 and 5 bedroom units at AED 26,733,000, so one building covers a first rental purchase and a family home.

What is on site

Shared facilities recorded for W The Residences by Arada include restaurants & retails, recording studio, kids play area, cinema, yoga & stretching studio, spa, meeting & coworking spaces and rooftop lounge. 3 further facilities are listed in the full spec. The development is 81 units in total. 55 floor plans are published for it.
