About Dubai Creek Harbour

Dubai Creek Harbour is a waterfront masterplan on the banks of Dubai Creek developed by Emaar Properties together with Dubai Holding. It sits beside the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary, so residents get creek, skyline and, in places, flamingo-habitat views, with Downtown Dubai close by.

The district is also planned to host Creek Tower, designed by Santiago Calatrava. It has been announced as a landmark taller than Burj Khalifa, but completion targets have moved before, so treat it as a possible long-term upside rather than a reason to pay a premium today. Market guides report that one-bedroom apartments in the area sold at an average of roughly AED 1.8 million in mid-2025; always compare against the current price list.

Dates are the developer’s estimates and several may already have passed. If you are buying a specific unit, ask the seller or sales team which instalments are already paid and what is still due.

Early-stage purchase: protect yourself

Montiva by Vida is at the launch or early construction stage (estimated handover Q3 2029). That usually means lower entry prices and longer payment plans, but also a longer wait. Make sure your payments go to the project’s RERA escrow account, that the sale is registered through Oqood, and that the contract states the handover window and the remedies if it slips.

Who is Montiva by Vida for?

• Investors and first-time buyers looking at the one-bedroom entry price and the rental market for smaller units.
• Families and upsizers considering the two- and three-bedroom layouts.
• Waterfront or skyline lovers who value the view and the surrounding community as much as the unit.

Golden Visa and residency

The UAE Golden Visa generally requires property worth at least AED 2 million. Larger units may reach that level, but how off-plan payments count towards that has changed recently and published sources disagree, so confirm the current rule with the Dubai Land Department or ICP before relying on it. See our Golden Visa guide.

Checklist before you reserve

1. Ask for the exact unit’s floor, orientation and a view study.
2. Request the current price list and a statement of instalments already due.
3. Get the estimated service charge per sq ft.
4. Confirm the escrow account and RERA project registration.
5. Budget for the 4% DLD fee and agency or admin fees on top of the price.
6. Check the contractual handover date and remedies for delay.
