How The Residences DIFC compares

Entry here is AED 2.6M, against a median of AED 4.4M across the 5 priced projects in DIFC, which puts it above 1 of them and below 3. The plan opens at 5% down, against a Dubai median of 10%, so it asks 5% less up front than the typical plan. Handover lands in Q4 2029, alongside 86 other projects completing in the same quarter. DIFC has 2 projects in our catalogue, 2 of them in DIFC.

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 5% on booking, 65% during construction and 30% at handover. At the AED 2,600,000 entry price, that is AED 130,000 to reserve a unit, AED 1,690,000 across the build, and AED 780,000 due on completion.

Dubai Land Department registration is charged at 4% of the purchase price on top, which is about AED 104,000 at this entry price. That 5% booking payment does not go to DIFC 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 846 square feet at AED 2,600,000, which works out at AED 3,073 per square foot. Stated sizes run from 846 to 4,489 square feet.

Ownership and residency

The Residences DIFC is a freehold development, so a buyer of any nationality can own a unit outright and hold the title deed. The entry price is at or above the AED 2,000,000 property threshold for the 10 year UAE golden visa, so the cheapest unit in the development qualifies on its own.

Who it suits

The development is apartments and duplexes in 1 to 4 bedroom layouts.

What is on site

Shared facilities recorded for The Residences DIFC are the standard Dubai block: indoor swimming pool, landscaped gardens, CCTV security, gymnasium, restaurants and children's play area.
