Serro at The Heights Escrow Account

Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank holds the escrow account for Serro at The Heights, account number 1065*****30005 (the Show button in the Escrow Details section reveals every digit). The Dubai Land Department register lists the project as number 4237 under the name Serro The Heights, registered on 25 November 2025, with Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank as its trust account bank.

Serro at The Heights runs on an 80/20 schedule of record: 10% on booking, seven instalments of 10% dated from March 2026 to January 2029, and 20% in March 2030. The down payment and every instalment are paid into the project escrow account, and funds are released to Emaar against construction progress recorded by Dubai Land Department inspections rather than on the payment dates themselves. The 4% DLD registration fee due at booking is paid to the Dubai Land Department separately.

Serro at The Heights is at the start of the cycle. Its latest DLD register reading is 0.5%, dated 09 June 2026, and RERA classed the site on that visit as Enabling Works - Progressing. Because escrow releases follow recorded construction progress, very little of the build had been recorded against the account at that point, while Emaar's dated schedule of record, read as plain arithmetic, had already asked buyers for 20% of the price by then. By 25 September 2026 that reading was 108 days old, and each later reading is tracked on the Serro at The Heights construction updates page.

Yes, the escrow protection does not depend on the calendar. Payments for Serro at The Heights remain in the escrow account and are released only against recorded construction progress, whether the project reaches its expected March 2030 handover on time or later. Escrow protects capital during construction but does not compensate for delay; any delay terms are set out in the Sales and Purchase Agreement.

No. Every off-plan payment for Serro at The Heights belongs in the DLD-registered escrow account 1065*****30005 at Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank (the complete number is in the Escrow Details section of this page), as recorded in the Sales and Purchase Agreement. A request to pay a personal account, a broker's account or a different company account, particularly one that comes with a discount for paying outside escrow, matches the usual pattern of payment fraud however formal the paperwork appears. Money sent outside the registered account also sits outside DLD escrow protection.

Under the DLD framework, RERA takes control of the escrow account if a project is cancelled, and buyer refunds are then paid out of the protected balance under Dubai Land Department supervision. For Serro at The Heights, project 4237 with its account at Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank, that safety net covers money paid into the registered escrow account only; payments made anywhere else fall outside it. How the DLD regulates off-plan projects is covered in the Dubai Land Department guide.

No. The 4% DLD registration fee for Serro at The Heights is paid to the Dubai Land Department at booking, on top of the 10% down payment, and does not go into the escrow account. It is a government registration fee rather than part of the villa price, so it is neither held in escrow nor released to the developer against construction progress.

An off-plan villa at Serro at The Heights is recorded in the Dubai Land Department's Oqood register after the Sales and Purchase Agreement and the booking stage are complete, which links the villa and its buyer to project 4237 and to its escrow account. The title deed follows completion, once the final 20% due in March 2030 is paid and the villa is handed over, with the timing set by the DLD process and the terms of the SPA.

The Serro at The Heights escrow account can be checked in the Dubai REST app under Services and Project Status, by searching project number 4237 or the register name Serro The Heights. The Escrow Account panel shows the bank and the account number, and both should agree with Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank and with the account written into the SPA ahead of every transfer.

The Serro at The Heights escrow account protects buyer payments made into it while the project is built. It does not compensate for delays, guarantee a resale price or rental income, or cover money paid to any other account. The 4% DLD registration fee sits outside it as well, since that fee is paid to the Dubai Land Department rather than into escrow.

Emaar's recent Dubai handovers include Creek Palace in March 2026, Seagate in September 2025, June in June 2025 and Bliss in November 2024. Emaar's brochure for The Heights puts its record at 118,400+ residential units delivered and 50,500+ under development as of FY 2024. Serro at The Heights itself has one dated register reading so far, 0.5% on 09 June 2026, so its own record is only beginning.
