Overview

Project brief

A MIXED-USE WATERFRONT TOWER IN AL JADDAF, MINUTES FROM DOWNTOWN DUBAI

Binghatti Moonlight is a mixed-use tower by Binghatti on the Al Jaddaf waterfront, a central creek-side district minutes from Downtown Dubai. The development sits within an established Binghatti cluster, in a location that pairs a quieter creek-side setting — with views over the Creek Harbour skyline and Business Bay crossing — with direct access to the city's commercial core.

The tower rises over four basement levels, a ground floor, three podium levels and 18 residential floors, on a plot of roughly 25,298 square feet (2,350 sq m). It holds 236 residential apartments — 126 one-bedroom, 106 two-bedroom and 4 three-bedroom — alongside 47 office suites and three ground-floor retail units. Amenities, set mainly on the first floor and rooftop, include a common gym, a swimming pool, landscaped seating areas, parking, smart-home technology and a pet-friendly environment, with 24-hour security and CCTV surveillance.

At the time of this brief, Binghatti had not published a starting price, payment plan or handover date for Moonlight; those are confirmed on request and are noted below as pending.

THE INVESTMENT CASE

Binghatti Moonlight is an off-plan, standard-tier brief: the angle below is qualitative. Where the live Dubai Land Department transaction feed for Al Jaddaf is available, current pricing and PSF trends will be shown alongside — those figures are the basis for any comparison, not the estimates below.

DEVELOPER: BINGHATTI, A LEADING PRIVATELY HELD UAE DEVELOPER

Binghatti is an Emirati developer known for a distinctive, sculptural design language and for branded-residence collaborations with BUGATTI, Mercedes-Benz and Jacob & Co. According to Binghatti, it ranks among the UAE's foremost privately held developers, with a portfolio of more than 60 projects valued in excess of AED 40 billion and a delivery record of over 20,000 completed homes. For investors, that scale and an active delivery pipeline provide a measure of confidence at the off-plan stage.

LOCATION: AL JADDAF WATERFRONT, ON DUBAI CREEK MINUTES FROM DOWNTOWN

Al Jaddaf is a central creek-side district with its own Metro station and direct road links across the city. From Moonlight, the brochure puts schools, hospitals and malls within 5–10 minutes; Business Bay and Dubai International Airport around 8 minutes; and Burj Khalifa, Dubai Mall and the Museum of the Future about 10 minutes away. The developer also notes planned infrastructure — a potential Etihad Rail stop in Al Jaddaf and a future Metro connection toward Dubai Creek Harbour — as longer-term accessibility upside. The position combines a quieter creek-side setting with genuine connectivity to the city's commercial and cultural core.

APPLICABLE STRATEGIES

Pre-handover resale — an off-plan tower in an established Binghatti cluster; where a construction-linked plan applies, a buyer commits limited capital ahead of completion, with a potential exit route before handover. Any premium depends on market conditions at the time and should be checked against live DLD data.
Buy-and-hold for rental / short-let — a residential mix weighted to one- and two-bedroom homes, minutes from Downtown and the Metro, suits both long-let and holiday-let demand; the brochure notes freehold ownership and 10-year Golden Visa eligibility, and yields are to be confirmed against current rental evidence.
Owner-occupation — a centrally located, design-led home on the Al Jaddaf waterfront, with on-site offices and retail.

RISKS & WATCHPOINTS

Off-plan completion risk — the tower is under development; timelines can move, and returns depend on the market at handover, not today's.
Pricing not yet confirmed — starting price, payment plan and handover date were not published in the brochure; the entry point should be assessed against live Al Jaddaf PSF once confirmed.
Mixed-use profile — 47 offices and three retail units share the building with homes, which can affect the service-charge structure, footfall and the resident amenity mix.
Service charges — design-led, amenity-rich buildings typically carry higher service charges, which affect net yield.

PAYMENT PLAN

Binghatti had not published a payment plan for Moonlight at the time of this brief. The current plan and starting price are confirmed on request.

Method & questions

HOW TO READ THIS PAGE

Two different things sit on this page: transaction evidence taken from the Dubai Land Department’s public register, and the mechanics of buying in Dubai. The four notes below explain how the figures were built and what they can fairly be used for.

Registered, not askedEvery Dubai Land Department figure on this page comes from a sale that completed and was entered on the public register. Asking prices, portal listings and developer price lists are excluded: they record what someone hoped for, not what was paid.
Medians, not averagesProject samples are often thin, and a single penthouse or one bulk-discounted floor will pull an average a long way off. The median — the middle transaction — describes the typical unit far more reliably at these sample sizes. The count behind each figure is always shown so you can judge how much weight it deserves.
Sales only“Sales” means arm’s-length sales. Intra-family and other “Gift” transfers are excluded, as are rows registered at zero or nominal consideration, because neither is evidence of a market price.
A dated snapshotThese are a snapshot at the date stated beside them, taken from one extract of the register rather than queried live. A figure for this project quoted elsewhere, or taken from a different extract, may not match what you see here.

Common questions

What does buying off-plan at Binghatti Moonlight involve?

Off-plan means contracting with the developer before the building is finished. In outline: you reserve the unit, sign the developer’s Sale and Purchase Agreement (SPA), and pay in instalments tied to construction milestones rather than in a single sum at the start.

Buyer payments on an off-plan sale in Dubai are made into a project escrow account regulated under Dubai Law No. 8 of 2007, and are released to the developer against verified construction progress. The developer registers the sale with the Dubai Land Department. The contract is between you and Binghatti; we act as broker, not as principal.

What is the 4% DLD transfer fee, and who pays it?

The Dubai Land Department charges a property registration (transfer) fee of 4% of the price recorded on the contract, plus a fixed administrative charge. That is the rate in force as at July 2026. The statutory position splits the fee between buyer and seller; established market practice in Dubai is that the buyer pays the whole 4%.

Developers sometimes offer to absorb part or all of it on off-plan sales. Treat that as real only where it is written into the sale documents, not where it appears in marketing. Budget separately for the registration trustee charge, the Oqood registration fee on off-plan units, and — if you are borrowing — mortgage registration at 0.25% of the loan amount.

What is an Oqood registration, and is it the same as a title deed?

No. Oqood is the Dubai Land Department’s registration system for property that is not yet complete. When you buy off-plan, the developer lodges the SPA through Oqood, your interest is recorded on the interim property register, and you receive an initial registration certificate.

The title deed is a separate and later document, issued once the project is complete and the unit is formally transferred into your name. An off-plan purchase that is never registered leaves you off that interim register, so ask for evidence of Oqood registration once your first payment has cleared.

Can a non-UAE buyer own a unit outright?

In Dubai’s designated freehold areas, yes. Regulation No. 3 of 2006 sets out the areas in which non-UAE nationals may hold freehold title or a long lease; outside those areas ownership is restricted to UAE and GCC nationals. Ownership does not depend on holding UAE residency, and no local partner is required.

Tenure attaches to the plot rather than to a development’s marketing, so confirm what is recorded against the specific unit — freehold or leasehold, and the remaining term if leasehold — before you sign.

What happens at handover?

Once the building is complete and the completion certificate issued, you are called for handover: you inspect the unit (the snagging inspection), the developer addresses the defects listed, you settle the final instalment and any outstanding fees, and the unit is transferred into your name with a title deed issued.

Annual service charges begin at handover. They are levied per square foot at a rate approved by the regulator, so they are a recurring cost rather than a one-off. If you intend to let the unit, allow for the interval between handover and the first tenancy — a vacant unit earns nothing, and gross yield is annual rent measured against the purchase price, before those costs are taken off.

Where do the Dubai Land Department figures on this page come from?

They are drawn from the Dubai Land Department’s public transaction register — sales actually registered against Binghatti Moonlight, rather than asking prices, portal listings or developer price lists. They are a dated extract of the register, not a live query: the extract date is printed with the figures, and everything on this page is calculated from that single extract.

The number of sales behind every figure is shown alongside it. A median drawn from a handful of registrations carries far less weight than one drawn from several hundred, and should be read that way.

Who is Mitchell’s Realty, and how are you paid?

Mitchell’s Realty is the trading brand. The RERA-licensed brokerage behind it is The Luxury Real Estate Brokers LLC.

On developer off-plan sales the commission is paid by the developer. On resale transactions the brokerage fee is agreed with you in writing before terms are signed. We will confirm how we are paid on any specific transaction before you commit to it.

Please note. The above is general information about how transactions work in Dubai, not legal, tax or financial advice, and it is not a recommendation to buy. Fee rates, tenure rules and residency requirements change, and your own position may differ. Take your own independent legal and tax advice before you commit to a purchase.
