Altus at Dubai Creek Harbour by Emaar Properties
Two Towers Beside Creek Beach, Four Minutes From the Metro
Altus is Emaar's two tower address in the district next to Creek Beach, with 280 apartments in 1, 2 and 3 bedroom layouts, a shared amenities podium, and handover set for January 2029. It is the entry point into Dubai Creek Harbour that still carries a construction linked payment plan.

About
About Altus at Dubai Creek Harbour
Altus answers a question Dubai Creek Harbour buyers have been asking for years: what does the entry level into this masterplan actually look like once the waterfront towers have priced themselves out of reach. The answer here is 280 apartments spread across two towers of very different heights, Tower 1 at twenty residential floors and Tower 2 at thirteen, sharing one amenities podium rather than competing for it. That is a deliberately modest footprint by Emaar standards, and it is the reason the scheme reads as a neighbourhood building rather than a landmark.
My read is that the district placement matters more than the architecture. Altus sits near Creek Beach, four minutes on foot from the metro, with the parks, the promenade and the beach within walking distance instead of a car journey. For an end user that removes the single biggest friction of waterfront living in Dubai, which is the daily drive. For an investor it narrows the tenant pool to people who want to walk to a station, and that pool has consistently paid a premium in Creek Harbour's earlier delivered phases.
The trade-off is timing. Altus is not a project you buy for immediate occupation: handover is January 2029, the payment plan runs to that date, and only 03 units remain with Emaar at the time of writing. Buyers who want a Dubai Creek Harbour address today should be looking at the delivered phases; buyers who want the entry price with a staged payment schedule attached are looking at exactly this.
Altus is registered with the Dubai Land Department as project number 3184 under the registered developer Dubai Creek Harbour L.L.C, and is marketed by Emaar Properties. Construction is past its enabling, foundation and structure stages, with the main contract progressing at the most recent RERA inspection.

Altus at Dubai Creek Harbour Prices & Sizes
Three layouts, one price ladder, and a clear break at the Golden Visa line. The one bedroom is the volume product and the reason Altus reads as an entry point into the masterplan; the two and three bedroom apartments sit above the AED 2M residency threshold and are bought for different reasons entirely. Sizes below are the published minimum and maximum for each layout, so the floor and the view move the number within that band.

5th instalment, Jun 2026, upon 20% construction completion

9th instalment, Jan 2029, upon 100% construction completion
A 4% DLD registration fee is payable in addition to the purchase price. Because the schedule above starts at the original launch, a buyer entering now settles the instalments already fallen due before rejoining the remaining milestones, so the cash required on day one is larger than the headline 10%. How you move that money matters as much as when: my guide on how to pay for property in Dubai compares the transfer methods international buyers actually use.

For Buyers
Buy Directly From Emaar Properties Developer Inventory
Altus is close to sold out: 03 units remain with Emaar across the two towers. Buying the developer's own stock rather than a resale means the official price list with no assignment premium on top, the original payment structure where it still applies, and a clean first registration in your name. Once these are gone, the only route into Altus is the resale market, where the seller sets the price.
- Official Emaar prices, no resale markup or transfer premium
- Remaining milestone payments run to January 2029
- Every payment protected through the project's DLD-registered escrow account
- Live unit list with layouts, floors and views, sent the same day
Map
Explore Altus at Dubai Creek Harbour Location on Dubai Map
Altus by Emaar Properties sits inside Dubai Creek Harbour, the masterplan set along the historic Creek between Ras Al Khor and Downtown Dubai. Through Tohid Fetrat's Dubai Investment Map, you can place it against the rest of the Creek districts and compare it with other Emaar communities across the city.
The position is unusual for a waterfront masterplan: Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary is roughly five minutes away, Burj Khalifa around ten, and Dubai International Airport about fifteen, which is closer to the airport than most established Emaar communities on the other side of town. That combination of a protected wetland on one side and the Downtown skyline on the other is what the district trades on.

Own a Unit Here? Sell It or Rent It Out
If you already hold an Altus unit, you have two routes and they open at different times. An off plan resale can be arranged now, while the remaining schedule still has value to a buyer who wants the plan rather than the completed home. Letting the apartment starts at handover in January 2029. I handle each path personally, from valuation to signed contract.
Sell Your Unit
Get a realistic valuation based on current Dubai Creek Harbour off plan transactions, then a full marketing and negotiation service through to the developer's transfer process. You deal with me directly, never a listing farm.
Rent It Out
Plan the letting before the keys arrive: a rental estimate for your layout, guidance on furnishing level and Ejari registration, and tenant sourcing arranged for handover so the apartment starts earning without an empty quarter.
Location
Altus Location Within Dubai Creek Harbour
Inside the masterplan, Altus sits in the district next to Creek Beach rather than on the island itself, which is the detail that sets both its price and its daily rhythm. Creek Island, the marina and the yacht club are the destination side of the community; the Altus plot is on the side people actually live on, next to the central park, a short walk from the urban beach, the promenade and Creek Side Park, and four minutes on foot from the metro. For an investor that is the difference between a view premium and a walkability premium, and in Dubai the second one re-lets faster. The wider district picture is covered in my Dubai Creek Harbour community guide.
Dubai Creek Harbour, DubaiConnectivity
Connectivity from Altus at Dubai Creek Harbour
Connectivity is the argument for this address. The metro station is a four minute walk, with the RTA ferry terminal serving the same community, so a resident here can reach Downtown or the airport without owning a car, which is rare for a waterfront masterplan. By road, Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary is about five minutes, Burj Khalifa about ten, and Dubai International Airport about fifteen. Rail access is also the long term story: the Creek is planned into the network's future expansion, and my Dubai Metro guide covers how station proximity has shaped values across the city.

Interiors
Interior Design at Altus at Dubai Creek Harbour
The interiors follow Emaar's current Creek specification rather than a branded concept: expansive windows, balconies on every layout, and a neutral material palette of wall and ceiling paint, tiled flooring and bathroom walls, stone kitchen and vanity countertops with matching backsplash, veneered main doors, and fitted kitchen and wardrobe joinery. One bedroom homes are laid out for a single occupant or couple with the living space carrying the volume; two and three bedroom homes add the modern bathrooms, deeper closets and panoramic balconies that make them the layouts families hold rather than trade.

Altus at Dubai Creek Harbour Frequently Asked Questions
Altus is a residential project by Emaar Properties in Dubai Creek Harbour, built as two towers sharing one amenities podium and holding 280 apartments in 1, 2 and 3 bedroom layouts. Tower 1 rises to twenty residential floors and Tower 2 to thirteen, in the district beside Creek Beach. Handover is scheduled for January 2029.
Altus sits in Dubai Creek Harbour, in the district near Creek Beach, a four minute walk from the metro station and within reach of Creek Island, Creek Marina, the Harbour Promenade, Creek Side Park and Central Park. Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary is about five minutes away by car, Burj Khalifa about ten and Dubai International Airport about fifteen.
Altus offers 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments across 280 units. One bedroom layouts run approximately 665 to 823 sq ft (62 to 76 sq m), two bedroom layouts approximately 1,139 to 1,454 sq ft (106 to 135 sq m), and three bedroom layouts approximately 1,596 to 1,927 sq ft (148 to 179 sq m). Two and three bedroom homes add modern bathrooms, spacious closets and panoramic balconies.
Handover is scheduled for January 2029, and the final payment milestone falls on completion at that date. Progress against RERA inspection data is tracked in the Altus construction updates guide.
Prices start from AED 1.60M ≈ USD 436K for a 1 bedroom apartment, AED 2.55M ≈ USD 694K for a 2 bedroom and AED 3.80M ≈ USD 1.03M for a 3 bedroom, depending on floor, layout and availability.
Altus is sold on an 80/20 construction linked plan: 10% as the down payment on booking, eight further instalments through the build totalling 70%, and a final 20% on 100% construction completion in January 2029. A 4% DLD registration fee is payable in addition to the purchase price. From the fifth instalment onward each payment is tied to a verified construction milestone rather than a calendar date alone.
The 10 year UAE Golden Visa through property investment starts at AED 2M ≈ USD 545K. At Altus the 2 bedroom apartments from AED 2.55M and the 3 bedroom apartments from AED 3.80M clear that threshold, while a 1 bedroom apartment at AED 1.60M does not qualify on its own. The dedicated Altus Golden Visa guide sets out the eligibility steps in detail.
Yes. Altus at Dubai Creek Harbour is a freehold property, open to all nationalities.
Yes. Reservation, the sale and purchase agreement, and registration can all be completed remotely, and I manage the process end to end with the developer on your behalf. Each stage of the remote purchase is documented in my Dubai real estate guide library.
Every off plan payment is made into the project's DLD-registered escrow account, held with Mashreq Bank PSC, and released to the developer only against verified construction progress, a framework regulated by the Dubai Land Department. The Altus escrow account guide explains how the release mechanism works in practice.
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.
Altus sits inside Emaar's most established waterfront masterplan at the entry end of its price range, with a payment schedule that runs to January 2029. Suitability depends on entry price, holding horizon and exit strategy: the 1 bedroom layouts price closest to the district's rental demand and its four minute walk to the metro, while the 2 and 3 bedroom layouts clear the Golden Visa threshold and attract end users who hold longer. Resale evidence from the delivered Dubai Creek Harbour phases, rather than launch projections, is the right benchmark.

Snagging Inspection Before You Take the Keys
Altus is still under construction, so this is a service to plan for rather than to book today. When the handover notice arrives in 2029, it opens the one window in which defects are corrected at the developer's cost. An independent inspection documents every issue, from finishing and joinery to MEP systems, before the completion documents are signed.
Book Your Inspection
Send me your unit number once the handover notice is issued. I coordinate a certified independent inspection team, and you do not need to be in Dubai.
Full Defect Report
You receive a photographed, itemized report covering finishes, doors and windows, plumbing, electrical and HVAC.
Developer Rectification
The report is submitted to the developer for repair, with a re-check before you accept the unit.
