Sunset Bay 5 by Imtiaz Developments

Sunset Bay 5 by Imtiaz is a residential building by Imtiaz Developments on Island A at Dubai Islands, with 62 fully furnished 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments. The building is planned as G+2P+8+R: ground, two podium parking levels, eight residential floors and a roof level. It is under construction, with handover scheduled for Q4 2027.

Sunset Bay 5 is on Island A at Dubai Islands, the island development off the Deira coast. Approximate regional drive times, which vary with traffic, are about 5 minutes to Infinity Bridge and Waterfront Market, about 10 minutes to Al Mamzar Beach, about 15 minutes to Dubai International Airport (DXB) and the Dubai Cruise Terminal, and about 25 minutes to Downtown Dubai and Dubai Mall. These are area estimates, not figures published by the developer.

The project starts at AED 2.29M ≈ USD 623K. There are three apartment types: 1 bedroom apartments from AED 2.29M ≈ USD 623K at ≈ 965 sq ft (90 sq m), 2 bedroom apartments from AED 2.99M ≈ USD 815K at ≈ 1,400 sq ft (130 sq m), and 3 bedroom apartments from AED 4.60M ≈ USD 1.25M at ≈ 2,009 sq ft (187 sq m), located on the upper residential floors. Final prices vary with floor, view and orientation.

Yes. Imtiaz Developments lists the residences as fully furnished with bespoke interiors and European-crafted finishes. The furnishing specification is set out in the sale documents, and the developer renderings on this page illustrate the design intent rather than an exact inventory.

The developer's amenity list covers a rooftop infinity pool, sunken lounge, private terrace, fully equipped gym, outdoor shower, ping pong table, clubhouse, jacuzzi, outdoor dining and BBQ area, outdoor seating, kids' playground and changing rooms. The floor plans place the clubhouse and gym on the second podium floor, and the pool deck, kids' beach pool, outdoor gym and roof deck on the rooftop. An EV charging station is also listed among the building's features.

Handover is scheduled for Q4 2027. The building is under construction, and its progress against RERA inspection data is tracked in the Sunset Bay 5 construction updates guide.

The plan is 60/40 and date-based: 20% on booking (plus the 4% DLD registration fee), 5% on 15 December 2025, 5% on 15 March 2026, 10% on 15 June 2026, 10% on 15 October 2026, 10% on 15 May 2027, and 40% on completion (Q4 2027). Because the instalments follow fixed dates, buyers entering now settle the instalments already due at signing, per the developer's current terms, and should confirm the schedule with the developer before booking.

The main additional cost is the 4% DLD registration fee, paid to the Dubai Land Department at booking together with the 20% booking instalment; on a 1 bedroom apartment at AED 2.29M that is about AED 91,600. Smaller administrative and registration charges set by the developer and the land department at the time of purchase may also apply. My advisory service adds no fee, because the commission is paid by the developer.

Yes. Sunset Bay 5 by Imtiaz is a freehold property, open to all nationalities, so international buyers can hold the title in their own name.

All three unit types start above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K property value threshold for the 10-year UAE Golden Visa at current prices, with the 1 bedroom apartment starting at AED 2.29M, about AED 290K above it. Eligibility is assessed on the property value recorded with the Dubai Land Department at the time of application, and approval is not guaranteed. The dedicated Sunset Bay 5 Golden Visa guide covers the eligibility steps in detail.

All off-plan payments are made to the project's DLD-registered escrow account held with First Abu Dhabi Bank and released to the developer only against verified construction progress, a framework regulated by the Dubai Land Department. The Sunset Bay 5 escrow account guide explains how the account works and how buyers can check it.

Yes. The full process, from reservation and SPA signing to Oqood registration, can be completed remotely, and I manage it end to end with the developer on your behalf. Each stage of the remote purchase is documented in my Dubai real estate guide library.
