Eligibility Snapshot
Rove Home Marasi Drive Golden Visa Facts
Rove Home Marasi Drive is an 809-residence freehold branded tower by IRTH Signature Development in Business Bay, registered with the Dubai Land Department under project number 2966 on 23 April 2024, with construction under way since 1 July 2024 across a 41,834.19 sq m registered site and certified at 10% progress at the RERA inspection of 6 July 2026. The detail that decides residency planning here is the price ladder rather than the building: Studio Flex residences open at AED 1.05M ≈ USD 286K and one bedroom apartments at AED 1.499M ≈ USD 408K, both under the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum property investment applied under the UAE Golden Visa program, while two bedroom apartments from AED 2.59M ≈ USD 705K clear it on one title. That split is the whole eligibility question on this project, subject to the regulations in force when you apply. Handover is expected in Q2 2027, when Oqood registration converts to a title deed.

Unit by Unit
Which Rove Home Marasi Drive Apartments Meet the AED 2M Threshold
Compact branded stock in Business Bay is built for yield, and yield-led pricing usually lands under the residency line. Rove Home Marasi Drive follows that pattern with unusual clarity: two of the three published tiers sit below the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum and one sits above it. The qualifying decision here is therefore a decision about typology, not about floor, wing or outlook.
| Unit Type | Total Area | Starting Price | Qualifies Alone |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio Flex Residence | 341 to 366 sq ft (32 to 34 sq m) | AED 1.05M ≈ USD 286K | No |
| 1 Bedroom Apartment | 607 to 770 sq ft (56 to 72 sq m) | AED 1.499M ≈ USD 408K | No |
| 2 Bedroom Apartment | 914 to 1,058 sq ft (85 to 98 sq m) | AED 2.59M ≈ USD 705K | Yes |
| Only the two bedroom tier clears AED 2M ≈ USD 545K on a single purchase. Studio Flex and one bedroom buyers reach the threshold by combining registered properties. | |||
Why this matters: eligibility is assessed on the registered purchase value, so a two bedroom apartment contracted at AED 2.59M ≈ USD 705K sits above the line from the moment it is registered, even while the tower is under construction. A Studio Flex or one bedroom purchase does not, and no payment schedule changes that. For those tiers the route is combining the registered value of more than one property, subject to the conditions in force when you apply.
Payment Plan and Timing
When Off-Plan Buyers at Rove Home Marasi Drive Can Apply
IRTH sells Rove Home Marasi Drive on a 50/50 construction linked plan: 10 percent on booking plus the 4 percent DLD fee, a further 40 percent in milestone instalments running to 30 months from your own booking date, and the remaining 50 percent on completion. Off-plan applications are typically supported by Oqood registration, which IRTH completes after booking, together with proof that the purchase meets the qualifying value and any payment conditions applied by the Dubai Land Department and residency authorities at the time you apply.
My read on the timing: the back-loading is the part buyers underestimate. Because half the contract price is held to completion, the amount actually paid on a two bedroom apartment before handover tops out near AED 1.30M ≈ USD 354K, and that figure is what matters if the conditions in force set a minimum paid value rather than a minimum contract value. So the two application windows on this project are not evenly balanced. Buyers who want residency early, usually to relocate a family or open UAE bank accounts, should confirm the current paid-value condition before booking, because on a 50/50 plan an early application depends entirely on it. Buyers with no urgency have the cleaner file: wait for the Q2 2027 handover, when the title deed is issued and the application rests on completed, registered ownership. Requirements for off-plan applications are updated from time to time, so verify the current position rather than the one that applied to an earlier purchase.
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.

Rove Home Marasi Drive Golden Visa Frequently Asked Questions
Only the two bedroom tier. Two bedroom apartments start at AED 2.59M ≈ USD 705K and clear the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum on a single registered purchase. Studio Flex residences from AED 1.05M ≈ USD 286K and one bedroom apartments from AED 1.499M ≈ USD 408K sit below the threshold and do not qualify on their own. Full criteria are covered in the Golden Visa requirements guide.
Not on their own. Both tiers are priced below the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum property investment, and eligibility is assessed on the registered purchase value rather than on unit size, brand or furnishing level. A buyer in these tiers reaches the threshold only by holding more than one registered property whose combined value meets the minimum applied at the time of application.
Combining the registered value of more than one property is the recognised route for buyers below the minimum, subject to the conditions in force at the time of application. At current starting prices a Studio Flex residence and a one bedroom apartment together represent AED 2.55M ≈ USD 694K, above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K line. The properties must be registered in the same owner name and the combined value confirmed at the point of application.
Off-plan applications are typically supported by Oqood registration and proof that the purchase meets the qualifying value and any paid-value conditions applied at the time of application. Because the payment plan holds half the price back to completion, the paid share before handover is capped at 50 percent of the contract value, which matters if a minimum paid amount applies. Buyers who prefer a simpler file can wait for the title deed at handover in Q2 2027. The process is explained step by step in the off-plan Golden Visa guide.
The plan is 10 percent on booking plus the 4 percent DLD fee, a further 40 percent in milestone instalments running to 30 months from the booking date, and the remaining 50 percent on completion. On a two bedroom apartment at AED 2.59M ≈ USD 705K that caps the pre-handover paid amount near AED 1.30M ≈ USD 354K. Buyers planning an application during construction should confirm the paid-value condition in force before booking, since these conditions are updated from time to time.
