Master Class from a UAE Developer

Sea Cliff Project: flagship real estate on the Dubai Islands

A family-owned development company with 30 years of experience and an in-house contractor that has delivered around 100 projects worldwide has presented the flagship Sea Cliff project on Dubai Islands. Over the past two years, studio prices in this area have increased by 40%, while one-bedroom apartments have grown from AED 800,000 to AED 1,300,000, clearly demonstrating the investment potential of the location.

Location and island infrastructure

The islands are divided into five zones: Island A — with 16 projects by the developer, located 20 minutes from the city center; Island D — a sports zone with golf courses and cycling tracks. The total length of the waterfront is 19 km, and the maximum building height is limited to 14 floors, reducing development density. Three bridges connect the islands to the mainland — one of them will be commissioned by 2028, simultaneously with the completion of new projects.

Sea Cliff

The building comprises 170 apartments: 113 one-bedroom units, 18 two-bedroom units, 30 three-bedroom units, and 9 three-bedroom duplexes of approximately 400 m² with private terraces, pools, and gardens. Ceiling height is 3.2 m, which is above the Dubai average. The project features 24 infrastructure facilities: an outdoor cinema, a clubhouse, a fitness center with a yoga studio, children’s and adult swimming pools, barbecue areas, and viewing decks overlooking Burj Khalifa.

All apartments are fully furnished and equipped with Bosch and Milli appliances, Jessi and Veroibo sanitary ware, as well as an integrated smart home system based on Alexa.

Purchase terms

The payment plan is 50/50: half at the start and half upon handover. A 12% discount is предусмотрена for full payment, and 5% for a 50% payment. Purchasing apartments from AED 2 million grants eligibility for the UAE Golden Visa.

Allocation system

Before the sales launch, the company collects a refundable deposit of AED 100,000 (approximately $27,000), which secures a place in the queue for apartment selection. During the allocation, each participant is given 20 minutes to make a decision. Priority in the queue is determined by the time of deposit payment: the earlier the payment, the higher the position. In case of отказ from purchase, the amount is refunded in full.

Investment attractiveness

The company ranks among the top ten developers in Dubai and has not recorded delays in the delivery of any of its 16 completed projects on the islands. The boutique format of the buildings with a limited number of units ensures high liquidity: apartments are resold 3–6 months before completion. The next project in the same location will target a broader audience — studios from AED 700,000, one-bedroom apartments from AED 1,200,000, with a 70/30 payment plan over 2 years after handover.
