Albero at Dubai Creek Harbour by Emaar Properties

Albero is an off plan residential project by Emaar Properties in the Greengate area of Dubai Creek Harbour. It combines one residential tower of G + 3 podiums + 53 floors with park-facing 3 bedroom townhouses, 479 residences in total, and handover is scheduled for Q3 2029.

Albero is in Dubai Creek Harbour, Emaar's waterfront community beside the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary. By car it is about 10 minutes from Burj Khalifa, 15 minutes from Dubai International Airport and 40 minutes from Al Maktoum International Airport.

Albero offers 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments in the tower and 3 bedroom townhouses. Apartment sizes run from about 754 - 776 sq ft (70 - 72 sq m) for a 1 bedroom to 1,848 sq ft (172 sq m) for a 3 bedroom, and the townhouses measure about 4,080 - 4,166 sq ft (379 - 387 sq m).

Handover is scheduled for Q3 2029. The project is currently under construction, and its progress against RERA inspection records is tracked in the Albero construction updates guide.

Prices start from AED 1.81M ≈ USD 493K for a 1 bedroom apartment. 2 bedroom apartments start from AED 2.71M ≈ USD 738K, 3 bedroom apartments from AED 4.11M ≈ USD 1.12M, and 3 bedroom townhouses from AED 6.95M ≈ USD 1.89M, depending on size, floor and availability.

Albero launched with an 80/20 payment plan: a 10% down payment, seven instalments of 10% each during construction, and a final 20% instalment on completion, plus the 4% DLD registration fee. The launch schedule runs from Apr 2025 to an estimated Sep 2029, with the later instalments linked to construction milestones, so the amount payable when booking today depends on how many scheduled dates have already passed.

It depends on the unit. The property investment threshold for the 10 year UAE Golden Visa is AED 2M ≈ USD 545K. The 2 bedroom apartments from AED 2.71M, the 3 bedroom apartments from AED 4.11M and the 3 bedroom townhouses from AED 6.95M are above it, while the 1 bedroom from AED 1.81M sits below it. The dedicated Albero Golden Visa guide covers the eligibility steps in detail.

Yes, Albero at Dubai Creek Harbour is a freehold property, open to all nationalities.

Yes. The full process, from reservation to SPA signing and registration, can be completed remotely, and I manage it end to end with the developer on your behalf. Each stage of the remote purchase is documented in my Dubai real estate guide library.

All off plan payments are made to the project's DLD-registered escrow account, held with Emirates NBD Bank (P.J.S.C), and released to the developer only against verified construction progress, a framework regulated by the Dubai Land Department. Learn more in the Albero escrow account guide.

Most buyers use the developer's payment plan, as off plan mortgage options for non-residents are limited. Financing becomes more accessible at handover, when completed units qualify for standard UAE mortgage products available to non-residents.

Emaar Properties is the developer behind Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall. It reports 118,400+ residential units delivered in Dubai and other global markets since 2002, with 50,500 residential units under development as of FY 2024.
