Top 10 Off-Plan Projects in Dubai Creek Harbour

Emaar's master plan for Dubai Creek Harbour covers a stretch of waterfront running past 500 hectares, tucked along the historic Dubai Creek. The idea, on paper at least, is a city within a city. Homes, shops, parks, and water walkways all sit close together, and the whole thing feeds into the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan through its emphasis on green space and smart infrastructure.

Look past the pitch, and the numbers hold up reasonably well. Sales hit 2,910 between February 2025 and February 2026, a 3% jump on the year before, and prices rose 12% over the same period. The median price per square foot now sits at AED 2,530. Yields land somewhere between 5.54% and 7%. Every dirham a buyer pays goes into an escrow account under Dubai Land Department rules, tied to actual construction progress, with a 10% down payment as the minimum entry point.

Below are the projects currently on offer, running from the longest wait through to the ones closest to handing over keys.

Closing In!

Ten projects, handovers spread from January 2029 through late 2030, and the trade-off barely changes from one to the next. Lower entry price and staged payments on one side, a long wait on the other, sometimes years. Families keep landing on Altus for the Central Park location or Albero for the rare choice of apartment or townhouse under one roof.

Investors chasing rental upside tend to circle the branded names, Lyvia especially, given how branded homes have performed on rent and resale so far. Yields are holding between 5.5% and 7% across the community, plus the Blue Line metro extension is still to come, and the fundamentals here look solid enough for anyone prepared to sit through construction.
