Alva at The Valley by Emaar Properties

Alva is a townhouse release by Emaar Properties within The Valley, a master-planned community on Dubai-Al Ain Road. It comprises 196 three and four bedroom townhouses arranged around landscaped water features, parkland and sports facilities, with handover scheduled for Q1 2030.

Alva sits inside The Valley by Emaar, positioned on the Dubai-Al Ain Road (E66) corridor southeast of the city centre. Downtown Dubai is approximately 15 minutes away, Dubai International Airport approximately 20 minutes, and Dubai Marina and Expo City approximately 25 minutes each.

Two layouts are offered, both two-storey townhouses. The three bedroom plan (TH02) has a built-up area of approximately 2,788 sq ft (259 sq m) on an average plot of 2,135 sq ft. The four bedroom plan (TH01) has a built-up area of approximately 3,081 sq ft (286 sq m) on an average plot of 3,620 sq ft and adds a ground floor guest bedroom with its own bathroom.

Three bedroom townhouses start from AED 4.38M ≈ USD 1.19M and four bedroom townhouses from AED 5.09M ≈ USD 1.39M. These are the launch indicative figures; Emaar confirms final pricing when each cluster is released, and launch-stage prices are typically revised upward as subsequent releases follow.

Handover is scheduled for Q1 2030. Build progress and inspection milestones are recorded in the Alva at The Valley construction updates guide, which is dated and updated as the site advances.

Emaar has set Alva on a five-year annual schedule: 20 percent in each of 2026, 2027, 2028 and 2029, and the final 20 percent on handover in 2030. The Dubai Land Department registration fee of 4 percent is payable in addition, as on any property purchase in the emirate.

The expression of interest amount is AED 100K and it is refundable. It is payable in United Arab Emirates dirhams, either by bank transfer or by cheque, directly to Emaar Development PJSC under the developer's own EOI receipts account rather than to a broker or agency account. An EOI registers your position in the release queue before pricing and unit selection open; it does not oblige you to purchase, and the sum is applied against the first instalment if you proceed.

Yes. Both townhouse types are priced above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K property investment threshold for the 10 year UAE Golden Visa. Eligibility, the documents required and the timing relative to handover are set out in the Alva at The Valley Golden Visa guide.

Yes. Alva is a freehold development, open to buyers of all nationalities, with title registered at the Dubai Land Department in the owner's name.

Yes. EOI registration, unit selection, the sale and purchase agreement and Oqood registration can all be completed from outside the UAE, and I manage the sequence end to end with Emaar on the buyer's behalf. Each stage of the remote purchase is documented in my Dubai real estate guide library.

Every off plan instalment is paid into the project's DLD-registered escrow account rather than to the developer directly, and funds are released only against verified construction progress under a framework regulated by the Dubai Land Department. The mechanics are explained in the Alva at The Valley escrow account guide.
