Meraas 05
What Meraas builds, and what to weigh
- 01
From apartments to seven-bedroom villas
Meraas sells mid-rise apartments at City Walk Crestlane up to seven-bedroom villas at The Acres Estates.
- 02
Partner brands and architects
Jumeirah at Emirates Towers, Bvlgari on Jumeira Bay, SOM at Atélis and Foster + Partners at Solaya. They affect the price, not how a building is run, what it costs to maintain or how it resells.
- 03
A district still on paper
The d3 residential masterplan announced in January 2026 covers 18 million sq ft but gives no completion dates. A buyer today is buying a specific tower, not the finished district.
- 04
Construction stages are not handover
Solaya groundworks, a joint venture with BGRE, are due to finish between September and November 2026. That is piling and excavation, though some listing sites present it as delivery.
- 05
Group mortgage arrangements
In April 2026 Dubai Holding Real Estate and Emirates NBD announced off-plan mortgage financing across its brands. Terms are the bank’s.
Meraas 06
Before you pay a Meraas booking deposit
Confirm the seller and escrow account
Brand, partner and project company can differ. Confirm the named seller and the project escrow account.
Rely on the contract completion date
Use the date in your sale agreement, not listing portals, which can confuse construction stages with handover.
Confirm Oqood registration
Check that the sale is entered in the Interim Property Register through Oqood.
Price in running costs
Hotel-style services can raise service charges. Compare completed buildings in DLD’s Service Charge Index.
Treat sell-out claims as marketing
Claims such as the rapid sell-out of Atélis come from the developer and say nothing about resale demand.
Ask what is committed nearby
Ask which parks, roads and shops near your building have committed dates.

What you can hold us to
Six commitments behind every consultation.
A purchase this size deserves someone who shows you the full picture, including what could go wrong, before you commit a deposit.
How the firm is paid, and why it matters to you-
Every cost before you commit
Total price, registration fees and each payment stage, set out in your own currency before you pay anything.
-
Honest about fit
Up to three options, and fewer if fewer fit. If off-plan does not suit your plans, you are told plainly.
-
A second opinion on any offer
Bring an offer from a developer or another agent and have its cost, payment plan and contract points checked before you commit.
-
Told how the firm is paid
Before you decide on anything, including whether a developer on your shortlist pays the firm.
-
Checks before you see a home
Registration, the project escrow account, the developer’s record and a current price, checked before a home reaches you.
-
Your time, your privacy
Video, phone, WhatsApp or email in your time zone. Your details are used only to reply, and launch emails only if you ask.
How it works 08
Three steps, no obligation.
No account, no fee, no pressure to proceed. You decide whether to go further.
- 01
Share your requirements
Your contact details, then property type, price range, emirate, objective and timeframe. It takes about two minutes, and no financial documents are needed.
- 02
Review suitable options
Up to three opportunities, each with its costs, payment timings, the reasons it was selected and what to consider. If fewer fit, you get fewer.
- 03
Discuss next steps
Talk to an adviser about the options, what to verify independently and what reserving involves. There is no pressure to proceed.
Questions 09
Answers before you share any details.
If your question is not answered here, an adviser can go through it with you during a consultation.
It lists Port de La Mer (November 2021), Bvlgari Marina Lofts (August 2023), City Walk Central Park Building 1 (November 2024) and the Bvlgari Ocean Mansions (December 2024). It publishes no total delivery figure, so check buildings comparable to yours in DLD records.
Meraas is part of Dubai Holding, which announced the move in June 2020 at the direction of the Ruler of Dubai. That link does not protect an individual project; the escrow account and registration do.
No. Meraas has no residential project in Abu Dhabi or Ras Al Khaimah.
Rely on the completion date in your sale and purchase agreement, not listing portals, and have your lawyer read what it says if the date is missed. Off-plan homes earn no rent until handover.
No one can promise that. The masterplan sets out intended districts and public spaces but gives no completion dates, and prices depend on the market and your timing.
Listing Meraas here does not mean a partnership or endorsement. Developers may pay commission where that applies; how the service is paid is disclosed on the Disclosures page and confirmed to you in writing before you proceed. The checks on this page apply whoever sells to you.
