Creek Waters at Dubai Creek Harbour by Emaar Properties

Creek Waters is a residential tower by Emaar Properties on Creek Island in Dubai Creek Harbour. It has 450 residential units: apartments of one to four bedrooms, three-bedroom townhouses at the base of the tower and one five-bedroom duplex penthouse on the 49th and 50th floors, above a landscaped amenities podium with pools and a gym.

Creek Waters sits on the north-eastern waterfront edge of Creek Island, facing the inner channel, with Creekside Park along its frontage. Per Emaar, Central Park is about 400 m (around 5 minutes) on foot and the Boulevard about 800 m (around 10 minutes), with the Creek Marina Yacht Club about 5 minutes away. For Dubai Creek Harbour as a whole, Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary is about 5 minutes by car, Burj Khalifa and Downtown Dubai about 10 minutes and Dubai International Airport about 15 minutes. Emaar also lists four planned metro stations in the community on the future Blue Line, which is not yet operating.

Six residence types are offered: 1 Bedroom Apartments of approx 753 - 928 sq ft (70 - 86 sq m), 2 Bedroom Apartments of approx 1,121 - 1,492 sq ft (104 - 139 sq m), 3 Bedroom Apartments of approx 1,552 - 1,856 sq ft (144 - 172 sq m), 4 Bedroom Apartments of approx 2,441 - 2,804 sq ft (227 - 261 sq m), 3 Bedroom Townhouses of approx 2,921 - 3,015 sq ft (271 - 280 sq m) with rooftop terraces, and one 5 Bedroom Duplex Penthouse of approx 8,196 sq ft (761 sq m) with a study.

Prices start from AED 1.61M ≈ USD 438K for a 1 Bedroom Apartment. The current starting prices for the other types are AED 2.18M for a 2 Bedroom, AED 3.01M for a 3 Bedroom, AED 6.31M for a 4 Bedroom, AED 5.30M for a 3 Bedroom Townhouse and AED 19.30M for the 5 Bedroom Duplex Penthouse. The final price of a specific unit depends on its floor, view and size. To compare these figures with the rest of the community, see Dubai Creek Harbour properties for sale.

Handover of Creek Waters is expected in Q3 2027. The tower is under construction and at a late stage of the build, but it has not been completed and handover has not started. Dated progress readings from the Dubai Land Department register and the RERA inspection notes are tracked in the Creek Waters construction updates guide.

Emaar's published plan is 10% on booking, 80% during construction and 10% on handover, expected in Q3 2027, so 90% of the price is paid before handover and 10% at handover. The Dubai Land Department registration fee is paid separately at booking and is not part of the price. The plan sets no calendar dates or milestone triggers, and with construction at a late stage, the amount payable on signing for a purchase today is set by Emaar's SPA and current offer.

The landscaped amenities podium includes an infinity pool with viewing decks, a kids' pool with a shaded play area, and leisure, recreation and play areas, plus a fully equipped gym in a separate pavilion that opens onto an outdoor yoga deck. Retail, restaurants and cafes are reached from the podium, and Creekside Park, with playgrounds, fitness areas, sports courts, lawns and an amphitheatre, runs along the tower's doorstep.

Yes, from the 2 Bedroom upwards. The 10 year UAE Golden Visa through property requires a property value of at least AED 2M ≈ USD 545K. At Creek Waters the 2 Bedroom from AED 2.18M, the 3 Bedroom, the 4 Bedroom, the 3 Bedroom Townhouses and the 5 Bedroom Duplex Penthouse each clear that threshold on their own, while the 1 Bedroom from AED 1.61M is below it and does not qualify alone. The 2 Bedroom clears the line by about AED 180K, and the test uses the price registered with the Dubai Land Department, so a discount that takes the registered price below AED 2,000,000 would remove eligibility. The Creek Waters Golden Visa guide covers the eligibility steps in detail.
