About
Project general facts
Tessera – Al Ghurair stands as an extraordinary residential masterpiece, conceived by the internationally celebrated Portuguese studio Aires Mateus, led by brothers Manuel and Francisco. The development introduces an architecture of subtraction, where mass is removed, voids are carved, and frontages are drawn back to forge a monolithic form shaped as much by absence as by presence, giving the building a strikingly floating silhouette. Landscape‑graded walkways beneath the structure open onto dedicated amenity zones, delivering a grounded yet elevated living experience.
Residents are welcomed by a resort‑style rooftop swimming pool embraced by verdant planting, creating a tranquil oasis above the cityscape. Complementary facilities include both indoor and outdoor gyms, a dedicated yoga studio, and children’s play areas that span interior and exterior realms. An array of outdoor dining settings, an open‑air cinema, and versatile social and co‑working lounges further enrich daily life.
Each home arrives with a fitted kitchen and bathroom, presenting a refined, move‑in‑ready environment. Interiors showcase modern finishing with high‑quality materials, ensuring a cohesive aesthetic throughout. The overall palette balances simplicity with subtle elegance, reflecting meticulous attention to detail.

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.
