How Atelis compares
Entry here is AED 2.1M, against a median of AED 2.1M across the 5 priced projects in Dubai Design District, which puts it above 2 of them and below 2. The plan opens at 20% down, against a Dubai median of 10%, so it asks 10% more up front than the typical plan. Handover lands in Q3 2029, alongside 46 other projects completing in the same quarter. Meraas Holding has 62 projects in our catalogue, 3 of them in Dubai Design District.
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 launch payment plan was 20% on booking, 55% during construction and 25% at handover. The 55% due during construction fell in six instalments of 5% to 10%. Buying now means a resale from a private owner, on whatever terms the two sides agree.
Dubai Land Department registration is charged at 4% of the purchase price on top, which is about AED 80,000 at this resale price. That 20% booking payment does not go to Meraas Holding 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 749 square feet at AED 2,100,000, which works out at AED 2,804 per square foot. Stated sizes run from 749 to 7,277 square feet.
Ownership and residency
Atelis is a freehold development, so a buyer of any nationality can own a unit outright and hold the title deed. The cheapest resale listed is at or above the AED 2,000,000 property threshold for the 10 year UAE golden visa, so a resale at that price qualifies on its own.
Who it suits
The development is apartments, penthouses and villas in 1 to 5 bedroom layouts. 1 bedroom units start at AED 2,100,000 and 5 bedroom units at AED 21,600,000, so one building covers a first rental purchase and a family home. The developer has sold out, so anything available here is a resale from a private owner.
What is on site
Shared facilities recorded for Atelis are the standard Dubai block: indoor swimming pool, landscaped gardens, CCTV security, gymnasium, restaurants and children's play area. 66 floor plans are published for it.
