How Essenlife compares

Entry here is AED 752,000, against a median of AED 767,000 across the 9 priced projects in District 3, which puts it above 3 of them and below 5. 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 Q4 2027, alongside 250 other projects completing in the same quarter. Object 1 has 36 projects in our catalogue, 3 of them in District 3.

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, 40% during construction and 40% at handover. The 40% due during construction falls in eight instalments of 5%, April 2025, July 2025, October 2025, January 2026, August 2026, December 2026, April 2027 and August 2027. At the AED 752,000 entry price, that is AED 150,000 to reserve a unit, AED 301,000 across the build, and AED 301,000 due on completion.

Dubai Land Department registration is charged at 4% of the purchase price on top, which is about AED 30,000 at this entry price. That 20% booking payment does not go to Object 1 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 435 square feet at AED 752,000, which works out at AED 1,729 per square foot. Stated sizes run from 435 to 1,762 square feet.

Handover and construction

Handover is scheduled for Q4 2027. Construction was last recorded at 2% complete.

Ownership and residency

Essenlife 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, though 3 bedroom units here start at AED 2,036,000 and clear it on their own.

Who it suits

The development is apartments in studio to 4 bedroom layouts. studios start at AED 752,000 and 4 bedroom units at AED 2,276,000, so one building covers a first rental purchase and a family home.

What is on site

Shared facilities recorded for Essenlife are the standard Dubai block: landscaped gardens, gymnasium, restaurants, indoor swimming pool, CCTV security, barbecue area and children's play area. 27 floor plans are published for it.
