About Al Jaddaf
The name, Al Jaddaf, means 'The Rower' and refers to the town’s origins as a boat building site. Today the shipyards are still here and are the only place for the building and maintenance of dhows.

Why Dubai off-plan
The macro case for buying off-plan in Dubai
These six pillars apply to every project on this site — not just this one. If you're new to the UAE market, they're the context you need before evaluating the specific unit above.
0% interest, ever
Off-plan payment plans are interest-free, end to end. Every instalment is at face value — no APR, no compounding, no balloon hidden in the back. Buyers from interest-bearing markets routinely underestimate how much this saves over a 3–5 year hold.
No income or capital-gains tax on property
Dubai charges no annual property tax, no income tax on rental yield, and no capital-gains tax on resale. The DLD 4% transfer fee is a one-time cost at registration — after that, your returns are yours.
20% usually opens the unit
Most off-plan plans book with a ~20% reservation deposit. You're under contract with the developer immediately, with the rest spread across construction milestones. The deposit is what unlocks the buy-side, not the full unit price.
Post-handover plans extend the runway
Many projects offer 2–4 years of post-handover instalments — meaning a chunk of the price gets paid AFTER you take keys. Once the unit is rented, that income can help cover the post-handover payments — rarely the full instalment, but enough to make the cash-flow comfortable rather than tight.
Golden Visa from AED 2M
A property purchase of AED 2M+ qualifies the buyer (and family) for the UAE Golden Visa — a 10-year renewable residency. The visa is the headline benefit; for many international buyers it's the actual reason to buy in Dubai.
Freehold ownership for foreigners
Across the 80+ freehold zones (Dubai Marina, Downtown, Palm Jumeirah, Business Bay, JVC, Dubai Hills, and the rest), foreigners own 100% of the asset and the land. There's no Emirati partner requirement, no lease structure — title deed in your name.
