Sunset Bay by Imtiaz Developments

Sunset Bay by Imtiaz is a residential building by Imtiaz Developments on Island A at Dubai Islands, with 66 fully furnished residences: 1 and 2 bedroom apartments and 3 bedroom duplexes with a maid's room. The building comprises a ground level, two podium parking levels, eight residential floors and a roof level, and handover is expected in Q4 2026.

Sunset Bay is on Island A at Dubai Islands, which the developer describes as a 5 minute walk from the beach. Approximate drive times from the developer's fact sheet: Infinity Bridge and Waterfront Market 5 minutes, Al Mamzar Beach 8 minutes, Dubai International Airport 12 minutes, La Mer Beach 15 minutes, Dubai Frame 20 minutes, and Downtown Dubai and Dubai Mall 24 minutes.

1 Bedroom Apartments start from AED 1.69M ≈ USD 460K (≈ 950 to 1,270 sq ft, 88 to 118 sq m), 2 Bedroom Apartments from AED 2.50M ≈ USD 681K (≈ 1,350 to 2,690 sq ft, 125 to 250 sq m), and 3 Bedroom Duplexes from AED 4.60M ≈ USD 1.25M (≈ 2,090 to 2,370 sq ft, 194 to 220 sq m). The price of a specific unit depends on its size, floor and view within the developer's current release.

Yes. Imtiaz Developments lists every residence as fully furnished with custom furniture, so buyers do not need a separate fit-out budget before living in or letting the unit. The furniture package for a specific unit should be checked against that unit's sales documents.

The developer lists a rooftop infinity pool with a pool deck and jacuzzi, a clubhouse with indoor games, a gym with a strength and training zone, sunken lounges, water lounges, floating islands, an outdoor cinema, outdoor yoga, a kids' playground, a ping pong table, an outdoor dining and BBQ area, a meeting area, seating zones, an outdoor shower, a water feature and landscaped Urban Woods pathways. An electric vehicle recharge station is also listed among the building's features.

Handover is expected in Q4 2026. The building is in its late construction stage, and progress against RERA inspection data is tracked month by month in the Sunset Bay by Imtiaz construction updates guide.

The developer's plan is 60/40 and date-based: 20% on booking, then 5% on 15 March 2025, 5% on 15 July 2025, 10% on 15 November 2025, 10% on 15 March 2026 and 10% on 15 July 2026, with the remaining 40% due on completion in Q4 2026. Every dated instalment has now fallen due, so buyers entering at this stage settle the instalments already due at signing, per the developer's current terms.

The main additional cost is the 4% DLD registration fee, paid to the Dubai Land Department at booking alongside the 20% booking instalment. Smaller registration and administrative charges can apply and are itemised in the developer's sales offer. My advisory service adds nothing to the cost, because the commission is paid by the developer.

Yes. Sunset Bay by Imtiaz is freehold, open to all nationalities, so foreign buyers hold full ownership of their unit, registered with the Dubai Land Department.

The 10-year UAE Golden Visa through property requires a qualifying value of at least AED 2M ≈ USD 545K. At Sunset Bay, the 2 Bedroom Apartments from AED 2.50M ≈ USD 681K and the 3 Bedroom Duplexes from AED 4.60M ≈ USD 1.25M are at or above that level, while a 1 Bedroom Apartment from AED 1.69M ≈ USD 460K does not qualify on its own. The qualifying value is assessed on the title deed or DLD valuation, and approval rests with the UAE immigration authorities. The Sunset Bay by Imtiaz Golden Visa guide covers eligibility in detail.

Off plan payments are made into the project's DLD-registered escrow account 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 by Imtiaz escrow account guide explains how the account works and how to check it.

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