EDEN at The Valley Escrow Account

Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank holds the escrow account for EDEN at The Valley, account number 1143*****20002 (shown in full in the Escrow Details section above), recorded against DLD project number 2196 on the Dubai Land Department project register.

The escrow account exists for project construction payments, and EDEN at The Valley is recorded as Finished on the Dubai Land Department project register, with a reading of 100 percent at the inspection dated 07 November 2023. Under the payment plan EDEN at The Valley launched with, initial-release buyers paid 10 percent on booking and 60 percent during construction into that account, with the remaining 30 percent scheduled over 30 months after handover on dates set in each Sales and Purchase Agreement. A ready villa bought today completes at transfer instead, with terms on remaining stock confirmed at reservation: the funds are exchanged at a Dubai Land Department registration trustee office when the title deed is issued. Any instalment still owed under an original off-plan contract belongs in the registered escrow account and nowhere else.

Buyer instalments accumulated in the Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank trust account and were released to the developer only as the Dubai Land Department recorded construction progress at EDEN at The Valley. The project register reached 100 percent at the inspection dated 07 November 2023, against 96.26 percent at the previous reading, which the register carries without a date. The recorded progress history is set out on the EDEN at The Valley construction updates page.

No. Every project payment for EDEN at The Valley belongs in the DLD-registered escrow account 1143*****20002 at Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank (the full number sits in the Escrow Details section above), exactly as recorded in the Sales and Purchase Agreement. A request to send funds to a personal account, an agent's account or an alternative company account, particularly one paired with a discount for paying directly, is the standard pattern of payment diversion fraud however official the paperwork looks. Any such request should be checked against the escrow account registered in Dubai REST and against the details in the Sales and Purchase Agreement before any funds are sent.

No. The 4 percent DLD registration fee is paid to the Dubai Land Department itself, so it never enters the escrow account, forms no part of the protected balance, and is never released against construction progress. On an EDEN at The Valley purchase it sits alongside registration trustee and title deed charges as a transaction cost carried by the buyer. How the Dubai Land Department regulates registration and protects buyers is explained in the Dubai Land Department guide.

Oqood is the Dubai Land Department's interim registration for a unit sold before completion: it records the buyer against that unit while the project is being built, and a unit at EDEN at The Valley entered it at the Sales and Purchase Agreement stage. Once the development is complete the Oqood entry converts to a title deed issued in the buyer's name at a Dubai Land Department registration trustee office. EDEN at The Valley is freehold and open to all nationalities, so that title is held outright rather than on a lease.

Escrow protects capital, not the calendar. Funds stay in the registered account and are released only against progress recorded by the Dubai Land Department however a schedule moves, but the escrow account itself pays no compensation for a delay; those terms sit in the Sales and Purchase Agreement. At EDEN at The Valley the registered completion date of 03 June 2023 lapsed before the inspection of 07 November 2023 recorded 100 percent on the project register, and Emaar records the handover state as Ready.

The Dubai REST app publishes the registered escrow account for every project registered with the Dubai Land Department. Opening Services, then Project Status, and searching project number 2196 or the register name The Valley - Eden brings up the project record, and its Escrow Account panel shows the bank and the account number. Matching that panel against the Sales and Purchase Agreement and against any payment instruction received is the check that catches a diverted payment before the money leaves the account.

EDEN at The Valley itself is recorded as Finished on the Dubai Land Department project register, with building completion certificates received and the latest obtained on 25 April 2023. Across Dubai, Emaar has taken further projects through the same escrow and inspection framework to completed handover, including Creek Palace in March 2026, Seagate in September 2025, June in June 2025 and Bliss in November 2024. The wider delivery history and landmark projects are covered on the Emaar developer profile.
