How The Alba Residences Dorchester Collection compares

Entry here is AED 44M, against a median of AED 24M across the 15 priced projects in The Crescent, which puts it above 10 of them and below 4. 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 Q1 2028, alongside 128 other projects completing in the same quarter. Omniyat Group has 13 projects in our catalogue, 4 of them in The Crescent.

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, 55% during construction and 40% at handover. The 55% due during construction falls in five instalments of 5% to 20%. At the AED 44,000,000 entry price, that is AED 2,200,000 to reserve a unit, AED 24,200,000 across the build, and AED 17,600,000 due on completion.

Dubai Land Department registration is charged at 4% of the purchase price on top, which is about AED 1,760,000 at this entry price. That 5% booking payment does not go to Omniyat Group 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 5,368 square feet at AED 44,000,000, which works out at AED 8,197 per square foot. Stated sizes run from 5,368 to 6,912 square feet.

Ownership and residency

The Alba Residences Dorchester Collection 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.

What it costs to hold

Service charges in Palm Jumeirah (apartments) run roughly 11 to 15 AED per square foot per year, on the Dubai Land Department service charge index. Towers inside one community can differ by a factor of two, so treat that as a range to check against the specific building rather than a quotation. On the 5,368 square foot entry unit that is about AED 59,000 to AED 81,000 a year.

Who it suits

The development is apartments and duplexes in 3 to 4 bedroom layouts. Every layout is 3 bedrooms or more and the site has children's facilities, which is family stock rather than investor stock.

What is on site

Shared facilities recorded for The Alba Residences Dorchester Collection lead with cinema, beach access, children's pool and lobby in building, alongside the indoor swimming pool, gymnasium and landscaped gardens that most Dubai developments carry. 4 floor plans are published for it.
