ARLO at Dubai Creek Harbour by Emaar Properties

ARLO at Dubai Creek Harbour is an off plan residential project by Emaar Properties with 434 units, combining 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments with 3 bedroom townhouses that have rooftop terraces overlooking the canal. It is under construction, with handover scheduled for Q4 2028.

ARLO sits on the canal front of the mainland side of Dubai Creek Harbour, next to VALO and AEON and just north of the main bridge road onto the island. Downtown Dubai and Dubai International Airport are each around 10 minutes by car, and Al Maktoum International Airport around 40 minutes.

ARLO offers 1 bedroom apartments of approximately 705 - 829 sq ft (66 - 77 sq m), 2 bedroom apartments of 1,209 - 1,261 sq ft (112 - 117 sq m), 3 bedroom apartments of 1,745 sq ft (162 sq m), and 3 bedroom townhouses of 3,263 - 3,276 sq ft (303 - 304 sq m).

Handover is scheduled for Q4 2028, and the building is currently under construction with the structure progressing on site. Progress against RERA inspection data is tracked in the ARLO at Dubai Creek Harbour construction updates guide.

Prices start from AED 1.70M ≈ USD 463K for a 1 bedroom apartment. 2 bedroom apartments start from AED 2.70M ≈ USD 735K, 3 bedroom apartments from AED 4.70M ≈ USD 1.28M, and 3 bedroom townhouses from AED 5.60M ≈ USD 1.52M, depending on unit, floor, and availability.

ARLO launched with ten instalments of 10% each, from a down payment in May 2024 to a final instalment in October 2028, which works out to 90% paid before completion and 10% on completion. Because several dates on that launch schedule have already passed, the amount due at booking for a new purchase depends on the specific unit and the terms Emaar applies at the time of sale.

It depends on the tier and the goal. The 1 bedroom at AED 1.70M ≈ USD 463K is the lowest capital entry and is usually bought for rental income, while the 3 bedroom townhouse at AED 5.60M ≈ USD 1.52M targets family end users and a narrower resale market. Buying mid-construction spreads the remaining payments toward the Q4 2028 handover, and neighbouring Emaar projects in the same district give a clear benchmark for resale pricing. Suitability comes down to entry price, holding horizon, and exit strategy.

The 2 bedroom apartments, 3 bedroom apartments, and 3 bedroom townhouses each clear the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K property investment threshold for the 10 year UAE Golden Visa on their own. The 1 bedroom, from AED 1.70M ≈ USD 463K, falls below it and does not qualify alone. The ARLO at Dubai Creek Harbour Golden Visa guide covers the eligibility steps in detail.
