Eligibility Snapshot
HQ by Rove Golden Visa Facts
HQ by Rove is a 414-office freehold building by IRTH Urban Development LLC on plot 107 in Marasi Bay, inside Business Bay, entered in the Dubai Land Department register as project 4143 on 22 October 2025, with construction recorded as started on 15 December 2025 across a built-up area of 47,131.26 sq m. The register carries 0.7 percent recorded progress at the inspection dated 6 July 2026, against 0.06 percent at the reading before it, so this is an early-stage build rather than a nearly finished one. The residency question here is settled by price rather than by progress: studio offices, the smallest whole unit in the collection, open at AED 3.03M ≈ USD 826K, already above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum property investment applied under the UAE Golden Visa program, subject to the regulations in force when you apply. Handover is anticipated in Q1 2029, the point at which Oqood registration converts to a title deed.

Unit by Unit
Which HQ by Rove Offices Meet the AED 2M Threshold
On most Dubai projects the residency conversation opens with a compromise: the unit that suits the buyer and the unit that reaches the threshold are not the same unit, and the usual workaround is to combine two smaller properties. Owned office space changes that arithmetic. The smallest whole unit here opens at more than half again the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum, so the tier you choose is decided by headcount, floor plate and exit strategy rather than by a residency calculation.
| Unit Type | Size Range | Starting Price | Clears the Threshold Alone |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio Office | ≈ 680 - 865 sq ft (63 - 80 sq m) | AED 3.03M ≈ USD 826K | Yes |
| Deluxe Office | ≈ 1,360 - 1,446 sq ft (126 - 134 sq m) | AED 5.78M ≈ USD 1.57M | Yes |
| Penthouse Loft | ≈ 2,185 - 3,708 sq ft (203 - 344 sq m) | AED 13.88M ≈ USD 3.78M | Yes |
| All three released tiers open above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold on their own at current pricing, so no combining of properties is involved. | |||
Why this matters: eligibility is assessed on the registered purchase value, so a studio office contracted at AED 3.03M ≈ USD 826K sits above the threshold from registration onward rather than only at handover. A resale office later changing hands below AED 2M ≈ USD 545K would not clear the minimum on its own, so confirm the value on your own contract, and the conditions in force on the day you file, before building a residency plan around a specific unit.
Payment Plan and Timing
When Off-Plan Buyers at HQ by Rove Can Apply
HQ by Rove sells on a construction-linked plan: 15 percent plus the 4 percent DLD registration fee on booking, 35 percent in instalments of 5 percent released against verified construction milestones, and 50 percent on completion. Off-plan applications are typically supported by Oqood registration, which follows the booking, together with proof that the purchase meets the qualifying value and any payment conditions applied by the Dubai Land Department and the residency authorities at the time you apply.
My read on the timing, and it runs differently from a villa purchase: this plan holds half the price back until completion, and the register showed 0.7 percent recorded progress at the 6 July 2026 inspection, so the paid-value side of an early application accumulates slowly on this project. A buyer who wants residency in hand while the tower is still rising should plan against the instalment dates written into their own Sales and Purchase Agreement rather than against the handover quarter, then check the paid-value condition that applies on the day the file is submitted. A buyer with no deadline usually takes the simpler route and waits for completion in Q1 2029, when the title deed replaces Oqood and the application rests on registered ownership instead of on a percentage. Requirements for off-plan applications are updated from time to time, so confirm the condition in force at submission rather than the one described at booking.
VIP processing, zero service fee: for buyers who purchase through me, the full application service, document preparation, submission, and status follow-up, is included free. You pay only the official government fees published by the issuing authorities.
The Project
The Office Behind a Ten-Year Residency Decision
A residency term runs ten years, and the asset supporting it should still make commercial sense at the end of one. The full HQ by Rove guide covers what a qualifying purchase actually buys: the modular office collection, pricing by tier, the amenity layer, and the Marasi Bay waterfront position behind it.

Project Insights for HQ by Rove Buyers
A residency purchase here rests on more than the price of the office. Buyers should follow the inspection record that governs progress toward the title deed, and confirm that every instalment lands in the supervised account before it reaches the developer. The guides below carry both threads for this project specifically.

HQ by Rove Golden Visa Frequently Asked Questions
All three released tiers. Studio offices open at AED 3.03M ≈ USD 826K, deluxe offices at AED 5.78M ≈ USD 1.57M, and penthouse lofts at AED 13.88M ≈ USD 3.78M, so each sits above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum on its own at current release pricing. Eligibility itself is assessed on the registered purchase value and the conditions in force when the application is filed, and the full criteria are set out in the Golden Visa requirements guide.
Off-plan applications are typically supported by Oqood registration plus proof that the purchase meets the qualifying value and any paid-value condition applied at the time of filing. With the Dubai Land Department register carrying 0.7 percent recorded progress at the 6 July 2026 inspection, an early application depends on the instalment schedule in the Sales and Purchase Agreement rather than on site progress. Buyers who prefer a simpler file wait for the title deed at completion in Q1 2029. The sequence is explained in the off-plan Golden Visa guide.
The plan is 15 percent plus the 4 percent DLD registration fee on booking, 35 percent in instalments of 5 percent released against verified construction milestones, and 50 percent on completion. Because half the price falls due only at completion, the paid share of an off-plan purchase builds gradually here, so the date a given buyer reaches a given paid percentage comes from the instalment schedule attached to their own agreement rather than from the project timeline.
Oqood is the Dubai Land Department's registration of an off-plan sale, recorded in the buyer's name before the building is finished. It evidences ownership of the unit during construction and is replaced by a title deed once the project is handed over, anticipated in Q1 2029. Which of the two documents a residency application rests on depends on the requirements in force when it is submitted.
The offices are freehold and can be registered to an individual or to a company, which is common on commercial purchases. Applications under the property investment route are assessed against the party named on the registered title and the requirements in force at the time, so a buyer who intends to apply should settle how the unit will be registered before signing rather than after.
They are freehold and open to all nationalities, registered at the Dubai Land Department, which is the ownership basis a property-linked residency application is built on. Instalments during construction are held in the project's DLD-registered escrow account at Commercial Bank of Dubai, set out on the HQ by Rove escrow account page.
The program's current term is 10 years, and it is renewable rather than permanent. Renewal is assessed against the requirements in force at that point rather than the ones that applied at first issue, so an office bought for residency is best treated as a ten-year holding rather than a one-time formality. The term and what it covers are detailed in the Golden Visa benefits guide.
No. For buyers who purchase through this advisory, the VIP application service, covering document preparation, submission, and status follow-up, is included at no charge. Only the official government fees apply, as published by the issuing authorities at the time of application.
No. The purchase can make a buyer eligible to apply, but approval rests on meeting every requirement in force at the time of application, including ownership verification and standard background checks. Construction status behind the eventual title deed can be checked at any time on the HQ by Rove construction updates page.
