Creek Haven at Dubai Creek Harbour by Emaar Properties

Creek Haven is an off plan residential project by Emaar at Dubai Creek Harbour, registered with the Dubai Land Department as project number 4225 in Al Khairan First. It holds 593 residential units in 1, 2 and 3 bedroom layouts. Tower A rises 30 floors above three podium levels, a ground floor with an attached nursery, and a basement.

Creek Haven sits on plot 342 in the Al Khairan First district of Dubai, inside Emaar's Dubai Creek Harbour community. The plot is on the harbour side of the masterplan, close to Creek Marina and the Harbour Promenade, with Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary about five minutes away by car and Downtown Dubai about fifteen.

Creek Haven offers 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments. The 1 bedroom is approximately 730 sq ft (68 sq m), the 2 bedroom approximately 1,189 sq ft (110 sq m), and the 3 bedroom approximately 1,858 sq ft (173 sq m).

Handover is scheduled for Q1 2030, which matches the registered completion date of 31 March 2030 on the Dubai Land Department record. The project is in its early construction phase, and progress against RERA inspection data is tracked month by month in the Creek Haven construction updates guide.

Prices start from AED 1.86M ≈ USD 506K for a 1 bedroom apartment. The 2 bedroom starts at AED 2.723M ≈ USD 741K and the 3 bedroom at AED 4.240M ≈ USD 1.15M, depending on floor, layout and availability.

The structure is 80% during construction and 20% on completion. A 10% down payment is due on booking alongside the 4% DLD registration fee, followed by seven instalments of 10% between January 2026 and January 2029, with the final 20% payable on 100% construction completion in March 2030. Three of those instalments are tied to verified build milestones at 40%, 60% and 80% completion rather than to dates alone.

The 2 and 3 bedroom apartments qualify, because both are priced above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K property investment threshold for the 10 year UAE Golden Visa. The 1 bedroom, at AED 1.86M, falls below that threshold on its own. The eligibility steps are set out in the Creek Haven Golden Visa guide.

Yes. Creek Haven is a freehold property, open to all nationalities.

Yes. The full process, from reservation through SPA signing and DLD 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 go to the project's DLD-registered escrow account, held with Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank under account number 12750204830001, and are released to the developer only against verified construction progress, a framework regulated by the Dubai Land Department. The mechanics are explained in the Creek Haven escrow account guide.

That depends on the tier and the horizon rather than the project alone. The 1 bedroom is the lowest entry point in the release and historically the most liquid layout at resale in Dubai Creek Harbour; the 3 bedroom is the scarcest of the three and the type that tends to hold value once a community finishes building out. With handover in Q1 2030 and a fifth of the price deferred to completion, this is a capital growth position across a four year build rather than a near term yield play, so holding horizon and exit strategy weigh more heavily than the entry price.

Emaar has delivered approximately 118,400 residential units in Dubai and other global markets since 2002, including Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall, and reported revenue of AED 35.5 Bn for 2024. It master planned Dubai Creek Harbour and has already completed and handed over multiple phases inside the same community.
