Overview

Project brief

A THREE-BUILDING RESIDENTIAL CLUSTER STEPS FROM CREEK BEACH

Rosewater is a residential cluster by Emaar at Creek Beach, within Dubai Creek Harbour. Three buildings rise around an inner plaza a short stroll from a 700-metre urban beach, each with its own façade and crowned by a penthouse. Every residence is designed with floor-to-ceiling windows and balconies to draw in light and frame views over the courtyards and the Creek canal.

The development offers a selection of one to four-bedroom apartments, with four-bedroom penthouses on the upper levels enjoying direct waterfront canal views. The three buildings are configured as G+M+10, G+M+11 and G+M+7. Residents share amenities including a community pool and kids' pool, a fully equipped gym, a barbecue area, an outdoor play area, a multi-purpose community room, two neighbourhood plazas and retail at the nearby town centre.

Creek Beach is Dubai Creek Harbour's urban beach along the historic Dubai Creek, close to Creek Marina, Dubai Creek Tower and Dubai Square, and near the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary.

THE INVESTMENT CASE

Rosewater is a 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.

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

Rosewater 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. For investors, this scale and delivery history provide a meaningful measure of confidence.

LOCATION: A BEACH-SIDE ADDRESS IN 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 good connectivity to Downtown Dubai. Rosewater sits at Creek Beach, moments from a 700-metre beach and Creek Marina, with Burj Khalifa around 10 minutes away and Dubai International Airport within roughly 15 minutes. The position pairs a beach-side, family-oriented setting with connectivity to the wider city.

APPLICABLE STRATEGIES

Buy-and-hold for rental / short-let — beach-side stock with a community pool and marina proximity supports both long-let and holiday-let demand; yields to be confirmed against current rental evidence.
Resale — Dubai Creek Harbour has an established secondary market in its delivered stock, giving an exit route; premiums depend on market conditions at the time and should be checked against live DLD data.
Owner-occupation — a primary or second home in a waterfront, family-oriented community.

RISKS & WATCHPOINTS

Completion risk — delivery timelines can move, and returns depend on the market at handover, not today's.
Service charges — waterfront and amenity-rich communities typically 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.
Market timing — returns depend on the market at the point of purchase and exit; verify against current PSF and rental evidence.
No Emaar unit-mix table — Emaar has not published a unit-mix table for this release; the unit total and the AED 1 million entry price shown are PropSearch-derived and should be verified before committing, and per-type sizes and prices are confirmed on request.

SOURCES

Emaar — Rosewater at Creek Beach brochure: three buildings rising around an inner plaza, each with a different façade; one- to four-bedroom apartments with penthouses crowning the buildings; Creek Beach's 700 metres of sand; pedestrian bridge and dedicated metro station; amenities — community and children's pools, fully equipped gym, barbecue area, outdoor play area, multi-purpose room, two neighbourhood plazas and the town centre.
Emaar — Rosewater floor plans (Buildings 1–3), massing plan: Building 1 G+M+10 (10 floors), Building 2 G+M+11 (11 floors), Building 3 G+M+7 (7 floors). The remainder of the plan set is image-based, so it publishes no readable unit areas.
Emaar — Rosewater payment plan (supplied in the pack as ROSEWOOD_PAYMENT_PLAN_EN.pdf): 10% on booking, seven instalments Mar 2022 – Jun 2025, final 30% at 100% construction completion, estimated Jun 2025.
PropSearch (propsearch.ae) — the 84-unit total and the AED 1 million launch entry price. No Emaar document held states either.

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 Rosewater 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 Rosewater as Jun 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 Rosewater, 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.
