Overview

Project brief

PALACE-BRANDED, CANAL-FACING HOMES ON CREEK PROMENADE

Palace Residences North is a branded residential development by Emaar at the gateway to Creek Island, at the heart of Dubai Creek Harbour — the master-planned waterfront district along the historic Dubai Creek. Delivered under the award-winning Palace brand, part of the Address Hotels + Resorts portfolio, it places canal-facing homes on the picturesque Creek Promenade.

The development comprises 335 homes across 33 floors: branded 1, 2 and 3-bedroom apartments together with 3-bedroom canal-facing townhouses, offering views of Creek Beach, Creek Promenade and the Downtown Dubai skyline. Apartments start from 639 square feet and waterfront townhouses extend to 1,924 square feet, with starting prices from AED 1.23 million.

Emaar has structured the launch around a construction-linked payment plan — a 10% down payment followed by further instalments tied to construction milestones, with the final payment due on 100% construction completion, estimated for June 2027.

THE INVESTMENT CASE

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

LOCATION: THE GATEWAY TO CREEK ISLAND, DUBAI CREEK HARBOUR

Dubai Creek Harbour is an Emaar master-planned waterfront district along Dubai Creek, near the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary, with a marina and central park and strong connections to Downtown Dubai. Palace Residences North sits at the gateway to Creek Island at the heart of the district, on the Creek Promenade, with views of Creek Beach and the Downtown Dubai skyline. It is steps from the Palace hotel, around a 5-minute walk to Central Park and a 10-minute walk to Creek Marina.

APPLICABLE STRATEGIES

Pre-handover resale — the construction-linked plan means a buyer commits limited capital ahead of the 2027 completion; Dubai Creek Harbour has an established resale market in its delivered towers, giving a potential exit route before handover. Actual premiums depend on market conditions at the time and should be checked against live DLD data.
Buy-and-hold for rental — Palace-branded, canal-facing residences with direct access to five-star hotel services support long-let demand; yields to be confirmed against current rental evidence.
Owner-occupation — a primary or second home in a branded, promenade-front community with hotel-style amenities.

RISKS & WATCHPOINTS

Off-plan completion risk — delivery is estimated for June 2027; timelines can move, and returns depend on the market at handover, not today's.
Entry pricing — current pricing and PSF should be verified against live DLD transaction data for Dubai Creek Harbour before committing.
Branded-residence premium — Palace-branded stock typically prices at a premium and can carry higher service charges, which affect net yield.
Supply — Dubai Creek Harbour has a substantial delivery pipeline; concurrent handovers can affect near-term resale and rental pricing.

HOW THIS PRICES AGAINST THE MARKET

Registered evidence · as at 2 Sep 2026

Every figure below is derived from arm’s-length sales registered with the Dubai Land Department — completed transactions, not asking prices. The register was read on 12 Sep 2026. The most recent qualifying sale at Palace Residences North is dated 2 Sep 2026. Medians are of AED per square foot across all unit types unless stated otherwise.

Median AED / sqft — Palace Residences North against its benchmarks

2,660AED / sqft

this project

DUBAI CREEK HARBOURArea median, existing properties · n = 824 sales

2,332AED / sqft

+14.1%premium

Premium and discount compare Palace Residences North’s median AED/sqft with each benchmark median from the same extract; n is the number of registered sales behind each median. A premium is neither good nor bad in itself — it reflects specification, unit mix, floor level and how recently the sales were registered. Bar length is proportional to the median shown.

Off-plan vs resale

Off-plan

2,339

AED/sqft median · n = 10

Resale

2,718

AED/sqft median · n = 96

Resale units are transacting 16.2% above off-plan registrations on this sample. A resale premium indicates the secondary market is clearing above the prices at which units were first registered — but the two are not like-for-like, since off-plan prices carry deferred payment terms and construction risk that a completed unit does not.

What to watch

No rental evidence yet. No registered rent median is available for this project in the current extract, so a gross yield (annual rent ÷ purchase price) cannot be evidenced from the register. Any yield quoted elsewhere is an assumption, not a recorded figure.
Benchmarks are not like-for-like. The community and area medians cover every building in that boundary — whatever its age, finish, view and unit mix — while the project median covers one scheme. Part of any premium or discount is composition rather than value.
A median is not a valuation. Every figure here is a median of registered AED per sqft across mixed floors, sizes and payment terms, up to 2 Sep 2026. The price of a particular unit can sit well outside it, and none of this constitutes a valuation or investment advice.
Historic evidence, not a projection. These are transactions already completed and registered up to 2 Sep 2026. They describe what buyers paid, not what prices, rents or resale liquidity will do next.

Both figures are shown above with the sale count behind each; the gap between them is not stated as a percentage, because at this sample size it would move on a single transaction.

Individual arm’s-length sales as registered with the Dubai Land Department. Sizes are as recorded on the title deed; price is the registered consideration, exclusive of the 4% transfer fee and any agency or developer charges.

Registered DLD transactions for this project. Only arm's-length 'Sales' of homes are counted; intra-family 'Gifts' transfers, zero-price rows, and land, building and villa transfers are excluded. Offices, shops, showrooms and other non-residential units in the same building are also excluded — they price far above the apartments above them and would otherwise set the top of the price-per-square-foot range. Where the register holds the same sale twice, the duplicate is removed before anything is counted. A project is published only once it has at least 30 qualifying sales. Period and bedroom figures are medians of AED per square foot, which are robust to the outliers that skew a mean on a thin sample. Benchmarks are medians over the trailing 12 months for the same area and registration type. This is a dated extract, not a live query: it changes only when the extract is regenerated with `npm run data:dld`. Source: Dubai Land Department (DLD) transaction register, via Mitchell's DLD pipeline. Data as at 2 Sep 2026; extract generated 12 Sep 2026. Past registered prices are evidence of what has been paid, not a forecast of future value.

The developer

Emaar

One of Dubai’s largest and longest-established master developers.

Emaar Properties is the developer behind a substantial share of Dubai’s best-known destinations, including Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall. It builds at master-community scale — Dubai Hills Estate, Dubai Creek Harbour, Emaar South, The Valley, Downtown Dubai, Emaar Beachfront and Rashid Yachts & Marina among the communities covered on this site — so an Emaar project usually arrives inside an established masterplan with its own retail, schools and parks rather than as a standalone tower.

For an off-plan buyer the relevant question about any developer is delivery: whether the building completes, and roughly when it said it would. Emaar reports a delivery record stretching back to 2002 across Dubai and international markets. That is a measure of scale and history, not a guarantee about any individual project — construction progress, handover timing and specification are confirmed per project on request.

Method & questions

HOW TO READ THIS PAGE

Figures as at 2 Sep 2026

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, stated as at 2 Sep 2026, 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 Residences North 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 Residences North as Jun 2027; 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 Residences North, rather than asking prices, portal listings or developer price lists. The set shown here is stated as at 2 Sep 2026. 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 Commercial Real Estate, and how are you paid?

Mitchell’s Commercial Real Estate is the trading brand of Stephen James Mitchell, RERA-licensed broker BRN 68593.

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.
