Master plan
The developer’s own site plan for Soma Residence, showing how the buildings, roads and open space sit together.
What you pay, and when
The published payment plan is 20% on booking, 30% during construction and 50% at handover. At the AED 1,670,000 entry price, that is AED 334,000 to reserve a unit, AED 501,000 across the build, and AED 835,000 due on completion.
On top of the price, the Dubai Land Department charges 4% to register the sale, about AED 67,000 at this entry price. Under Dubai's Law 8 of 2007, that 20% booking payment goes into a RERA-supervised escrow account rather than to Origami Developer directly, and is drawn down against certified construction progress.
What the entry price works out at
The cheapest unit with a published size is 882 square feet at AED 1,670,000, which works out at AED 1,893 per square foot. Stated sizes run from 882 to 2,355 square feet.
Ownership and residency
Soma Residence is sold freehold, 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 2 bedroom units here start at AED 2,470,000 and clear it on their own.
Who it suits
The development is apartments and duplexes in 1 to 3 bedroom layouts. 1 bedroom units start at AED 1,670,000 and 3 bedroom units at AED 2,850,000, so one building covers a first rental purchase and a family home.
What is on site
Soma Residence records the standard Dubai block of shared facilities: indoor swimming pool, landscaped gardens, CCTV security, gymnasium, restaurants and children's play area. 5 floor plans are published for it.
