Overview

Project brief

THE FIRST PALACE-BRANDED RESIDENCE ON DUBAI'S PRIVATE ISLAND

Palace Beach Residence is a Palace-branded residential development by Emaar at Emaar Beachfront, the gated island community set within Dubai Harbour between Dubai Marina and Palm Jumeirah. It is the first Palace-branded residence at Emaar Beachfront, bringing the service ethos of the Palace hotel brand to a beachfront setting with private beach access, panoramic Marina and skyline views, and a position on the island's 1.5 km of private shoreline.

The development is arranged as two towers — Tower 1 of 29 floors (G + M + 29) and Tower 2 of 42 floors (G + M + 42) per the Emaar floor plans and brochure — and offers a mix of 1, 2, 3 and 4-bedroom apartments, 3 and 4-bedroom townhouses, and penthouses. Per the Emaar floor-plan packs for both towers, 1-bedroom apartments run from 598.47 to 867.47 square feet, 2-bedroom apartments from 1,151.73 to 1,333.00 square feet, 3-bedroom apartments from 1,460.98 to 2,221.67 square feet, and 4-bedroom apartments from 2,412.40 to 2,603.04 square feet, all total areas including balcony. Residents share a podium deck with swimming and children's pools, a health club and recreational facilities, BBQ spaces, a children's play zone and community retail.

The Emaar Tower 1 payment plan puts 100% construction completion at October 2025, its estimated completion date. The building is now completed and handed over, so it trades on the secondary market rather than off-plan. Figures below reflect a completed-building position rather than a developer launch.

Townhouses & penthouses	—	Confirmed on request	Confirmed on request

Areas are taken from the Emaar Tower 1 and Tower 2 floor-plan packs, which publish suite, balcony and total areas for every apartment layout type. Tower 1 plans cover levels 02–04 and 07–27; Tower 2 plans cover levels 01–06, 23, 24 and 36–40. The 4-bedroom apartments appear on Tower 2's upper levels only. Some Tower 2 one-bedroom layouts have no balcony, so suite and total area are the same figure. The brochure lists 3 and 4-bedroom townhouses and penthouses, but no townhouse or penthouse plan is included in the pack held — those sizes are confirmed on request. Emaar publishes no per-type unit counts or launch prices in the pack held.

AMENITIES

Private beach access on Emaar Beachfront's 1.5 km shoreline
Podium deck with swimming pool and kids' pool

Amenities per the Palace Beach Residence brochure. The brochure puts Dubai Marina and Sheikh Zayed Road five minutes away, and Downtown Dubai, Dubai International and Al Maktoum International airports 25 minutes away.

THE INVESTMENT CASE

Palace Beach Residence is a completed, standard-tier brief: the angle below is qualitative. Where the live Dubai Land Department transaction feed for Emaar Beachfront is available, current pricing and PSF trends will be shown alongside — those figures are the basis for any comparison, not the estimates below.

DEVELOPER: EMAAR, ONE OF DUBAI'S MOST ESTABLISHED DEVELOPERS

Palace Beach Residence is developed by Emaar, the developer behind many of Dubai's landmark destinations. Emaar reported revenue of AED 49.6 billion for 2025 and, with a proven delivery track record, has delivered over 125,600 residential units across Dubai and other global markets since 2002. Its portfolio includes Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall. As a delivered building, Palace Beach Residence carries none of the completion uncertainty of an off-plan purchase.

LOCATION: A PRIVATE ISLAND BETWEEN DUBAI MARINA AND PALM JUMEIRAH

Emaar Beachfront is a gated island community within Dubai Harbour, with a private beach and a waterfront promenade of retail and dining. Palace Beach Residence sits on the shoreline with Dubai Marina roughly five minutes away and Sheikh Zayed Road, Palm Jumeirah, Ain Dubai and the Cruise Terminal all close by. The position combines a resort-style island setting with genuine connectivity to the rest of the city, and the Palace branding pairs the residences with hotel-style service.

APPLICABLE STRATEGIES

Buy-and-hold for rental / short-let — a completed, branded beachfront tower with a private beach and hotel-style amenities supports both long-let and holiday-let demand; yields to be confirmed against current rental evidence.
Owner-occupation — a move-in-ready home in a gated island community close to Dubai Marina.
Secondary-market entry — as a delivered building, units can be inspected and income assessed before purchase, unlike an off-plan launch.

RISKS & WATCHPOINTS

Secondary-market pricing — pricing is set by individual resellers and varies by floor, view and condition; entry points should be verified on current PSF, not indicative figures.
Beachfront premium — Emaar Beachfront prices at a premium to mainland Dubai Marina; the entry point should be weighed against that premium.
Service charges — branded, beachfront stock typically carries higher service charges, which affect net yield.
Supply — Emaar Beachfront and Dubai Harbour have a substantial delivery pipeline; concurrent completions nearby can affect resale and rental pricing.

ORIGINAL LAUNCH PAYMENT PLAN

The plan below is the schedule Emaar published at launch for Tower 1. It applied to original off-plan buyers only and is not available on a secondary-market purchase; it is reproduced because it establishes Emaar's own construction-completion date.

Instalment	Payment	Milestone	Due
Down payment	10%	Booking	On booking
1st	10%	4 months from booking	Aug 2021
2nd – 4th	5% each	Every 6 months	Feb 2022 to Feb 2023
5th & 6th	10% each	—	Aug 2023 & Feb 2024
7th & 8th	5% each	—	Aug 2024 & Feb 2025
9th	5%	100% construction completion	Oct 2025
10th – 15th	5% each	Every 4 months, post-completion	Feb 2026 to Oct 2027

Per the Emaar Tower 1 payment plan; instalment dates as published at launch, subject to change. October 2025 is Emaar's estimated completion date. No Tower 2 payment plan is held.

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 Palace Beach Residence 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 Emaar; 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. Emaar gives completion for Palace Beach Residence as Oct 2025; off-plan completion dates can move, and the SPA governs the position.

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 Palace Beach Residence, 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.
