Master plan

The developer’s own site plan for The Heart of Europe - Portofino, showing how the buildings, roads and open space sit together.

What you pay, and when

The published schedule splits the price 40% on booking, 40% during construction and 20% at handover. At the AED 5,220,434 entry price, that is AED 2,088,000 to reserve a unit, AED 2,088,000 across the build, and AED 1,044,000 due on completion.

The Dubai Land Department registration fee is 4% of the purchase price, payable on top: about AED 209,000 at this entry price. Under Dubai's Law 8 of 2007, that 40% booking payment goes into a RERA-supervised escrow account rather than to THOE directly, and is drawn down against certified construction progress.

What the entry price works out at

The cheapest unit with a published size is 1,705 square feet at AED 5,220,434, which works out at AED 3,062 per square foot. Stated sizes run from 1,705 to 1,793 square feet.

Handover and construction

The Heart of Europe - Portofino reached handover in Q1 2026. Construction was last recorded at 100% complete.

Ownership and residency

The 10 year UAE golden visa has a property threshold of AED 2,000,000, and the entry price is at or above it, so the cheapest unit in the development qualifies on its own.

Who it suits

The development is Hotel Apartments in 1 to 2 bedroom layouts.
