Official Account Details
Avelia at The Valley Escrow Account at a Glance
Money paid toward a villa at Avelia does not reach Emaar's own treasury. It lands in one ring-fenced project account held at First Abu Dhabi Bank and supervised by the Dubai Land Department, and the developer can only draw on it as certified works accumulate. Below are the registered details exactly as the Dubai REST record carries them. My advice to every buyer is the same: save this account number somewhere you can reach on transfer day, because it is the single detail that keeps working when a convincing email, a rushed deadline, or a friendly middleman does not. Check this number again in Dubai REST, and against the escrow clause of your Sales and Purchase Agreement, on the day you release funds rather than the day you read this page. Payment-diversion fraud rarely looks like fraud: it arrives as a polished message from an address you already recognise, and the account number is the one field it must change to succeed. Rule one: no payment ever goes to any account other than the number shown above, regardless of who requests it or how official the request looks.

Where the Project Stands
Registration and Escrow Status
Avelia entered the Dubai Land Department register on 18 November 2025 as project 4220, and the First Abu Dhabi Bank escrow account is part of that registration rather than an add-on that followed it. Site work started on 16 March 2026. So the account existed before the excavators did, which is the sequence a buyer wants on a cluster this early: nobody was collecting installments into an unsupervised account while the plot was still empty. The DLD project register currently shows 0.27 percent progress, a reading carried against the inspection dated 9 June 2026, with the previous register reading at 0 percent and no date attached to it. The RERA Independent Progress Monitoring Report for that same 9 June 2026 inspection prints no percentage at all: it records the progress status as Pre-Construction - Progressing, and its inspector notes describe mobilisation and infrastructure works under way on plot 8229 in Al Yufrah 1. Read the two together and the picture is honest rather than flattering. Avelia is at the very start of a build that the register dates to completion at the end of 2029, with handover quoted as Q4 2029. That is precisely the stage where the escrow question is not academic. Buying at 0.27 percent means almost everything you are paying for still has to be built, so the only thing standing between your deposit and a developer's balance sheet is the release mechanism itself. For a family, that answers the deposit question: your money is not funding a promise, it is parked under supervision until certified work justifies each withdrawal. For an investor, it answers the discipline question: capital enters a project whose drawdowns are externally gated from the first inspection onward, not from the day someone decides to start reporting progress.

Verify Avelia at The Valley's Escrow Account Independently
Nothing on this page should be taken on trust, including this page. The escrow framework was designed so that a buyer can confirm the account without asking anyone's permission. These details are checked against Dubai REST before publishing and again after every new inspection is filed. Where this page and the app ever disagree, the app is right, and I would rather hear about it from you than not hear about it at all.

Before You Transfer
Put the payment instruction beside the Escrow Account panel in Dubai REST and compare the number digit by digit. Do the same comparison against the escrow clause of your Sales and Purchase Agreement. Confirm the installment amount and which milestone in your schedule it settles. One digit out of place is reason enough to stop the transfer and message me first.

Your Money, Step by Step
How Avelia at The Valley's Payment Plan Meets the Escrow Account
Avelia sells on an 80/20 construction-linked plan: 10 percent on booking, seven further installments of 10 percent running from January 2026 to February 2029, and a closing 20 percent in December 2029 tied to 100 percent construction completion. Your dates are fixed by your Sales and Purchase Agreement. What the schedule itself never says is that paying on time and the developer being paid are two separate events: the bank releases escrow funds only against progress that DLD inspections have certified, which at this stage is the reading recorded at the 9 June 2026 inspection. A retention portion stays behind in the escrow account after the project completes rather than being paid out with the final release. Few buyers are told about it, and it is worth knowing: it leaves the developer with money still on the table at exactly the moment defects get argued about. At 0.27 percent on the register, almost the entire value of this project is still ahead of it, which makes the release rule the whole point rather than a technicality. Every dirham you pay between now and 2029 sits under Dubai Land Department supervision, and Emaar reaches it only in steps an inspector has signed off.
Booking and SPA: 10%
Your first 10 percent enters the project escrow account as your villa is registered under Oqood, before any construction milestone has been reached.
Construction Installments: 70%
Seven installments accumulate in escrow between January 2026 and February 2029, the later ones pegged to 50, 70 and 90 percent completion, each release gated by certified progress rather than by the calendar.
Completion: 20%
The closing 20 percent falls due in December 2029 against 100 percent construction completion, with handover quoted at Q4 2029.

Avelia at The Valley Escrow Account Frequently Asked Questions
First Abu Dhabi Bank P.J.S.C. is the trust account bank for Avelia at The Valley, account number 9009*****7653057 (shown in full in the Escrow Details section above), registered under DLD project number 4220 when the project entered the register on 18 November 2025.
Avelia sells on an 80/20 construction-linked plan: 10 percent on booking, seven installments of 10 percent from January 2026 to February 2029, and 20 percent in December 2029 against 100 percent construction completion. All of it is paid into the escrow account, and the bank releases funds to the developer only against construction stages certified by Dubai Land Department inspections. Handover is quoted for Q4 2029.
Progress on the DLD register reads 0.27 percent, tied to the 9 June 2026 inspection; the reading before it was 0 percent and carries no date at all. For that same inspection the RERA Independent Progress Monitoring Report publishes no percentage, giving a progress status of Pre-Construction - Progressing instead, alongside inspector notes of mobilisation and infrastructure works on site. Month by month detail is tracked on the Avelia construction updates page.
The protection does not expire with the schedule. Money already paid stays inside the account, and the release test is unchanged: certified progress unlocks a drawdown, elapsed time does not. Escrow safeguards the capital while a project completes; it does not itself pay compensation for a delay, and those terms sit in the Sales and Purchase Agreement.
No. Every off-plan payment for Avelia at The Valley belongs in the DLD-registered escrow account 9009*****7653057 at First Abu Dhabi Bank (the full number sits in the Escrow Details section above), exactly as recorded in the Sales and Purchase Agreement. Where an instruction names a private account, a broker's own account, or a second company account, and especially where it sweetens the ask with a discount for settling outside escrow, that is what diverted-payment fraud looks like from the inside, whatever letterhead it arrives on. The safe response is to hold the funds and read the instruction back against the escrow account registered in Dubai REST and the escrow clause of the Sales and Purchase Agreement.
If the Dubai Land Department cancels a registered project, RERA takes control of the escrow account and buyer refunds are processed from the protected funds under DLD supervision. That is the reason paying only into the registered account matters: funds sent anywhere else sit outside the mechanism entirely and are not covered by it. How the department sets up that cancellation and refund machinery across the emirate is laid out in the Dubai Land Department guide.
Yes, Avelia at The Valley is a freehold project, open to all nationalities.
Avelia villas start at AED 7.25 million (approx USD 1.97 million), which is above the AED 2 million property investment threshold for the 10-year Golden Visa. Eligibility conditions, and when in an off-plan purchase an application can realistically be filed, are set out in the Avelia Golden Visa guide.
The register records 139 villas under project 4220, on plot 8229 in Al Yufrah 1, and the RERA monitoring report describes the development as 139 villas built to a ground plus two storey configuration. Payments for all of them run through the same single project escrow account.
