One Crescent by AHS Properties: Getting In for 5% on Palm Jumeirah
A 5% Entry Point for The Crescent
One Crescent is a residential development by AHS Properties on The Crescent, the outer ring of Palm Jumeirah in Dubai. It offers penthouses and sky villas across multiple layouts, with a 5% down payment that is notably low for properties in this price bracket.
The 5% down payment shapes the entry decision. At the starting price of AED 16,635,000, securing a unit requires roughly AED 831,750 upfront. The balance follows as 55% during construction and 40% at handover. The structure front-loads very little.
What AED 16.6M to AED 28.9M Covers
The price range runs from AED 16,635,000 to AED 28,943,750. The spread is driven by unit type and floor area, not by floor or position within the building.
At entry, 3-bedroom penthouses across four layouts (4,200 to 4,730 sq ft) and a 3-bedroom villa at 5,410 sq ft all start at AED 16.6 million. A 4-bedroom penthouse at 5,460 sq ft is priced at AED 20,800,000. At the top sits the 5-bedroom Sky Villa at 7,941 sq ft for AED 28,943,750. On a per-square-foot basis, the gap between entry and top is moderate. The Sky Villa commands a premium mainly for its scale and villa format rather than a steep rate differential.
The Crescent: What the Location Means Day to Day
The Crescent is the outer arc of Palm Jumeirah, facing the open sea rather than the inner lagoon. By car, Dubai Marina is roughly 20 to 25 minutes away, Business Bay around 30 minutes, and Downtown Dubai closer to 40 minutes in standard traffic. Dubai International Airport sits 35 to 45 minutes out.
The outer Crescent positions residents farther from the city grid than the Palm's trunk or fronds. For buyers who prioritise the address, water proximity, and privacy over short commutes to the financial district, this positioning delivers on those priorities. For daily commuters to Business Bay or DIFC, the drive time is a real consideration.
Penthouses and Sky Villa: Two Formats
| Unit Type | Bedrooms | Area (sq ft) | Starting Price (AED) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Penthouse Type A1/A2 | 3 | 4,200 | 16,635,000 |
| Penthouse Type B | 3 | 4,400 | 16,635,000 |
| Penthouse Type C | 3 | 4,730 | 16,635,000 |
| Villa Type D1/D2 | 3 | 5,410 | 16,635,000 |
| Penthouse Type A | 4 | 5,460 | 20,800,000 |
| Sky Villa Type A | 5 | 7,941 | 28,943,750 |
The 3-bedroom penthouses and the 3-bedroom villa share the same entry price. The choice between them is one of format: penthouses sit within a managed building with shared facilities; the villa layout offers more autonomy and a larger footprint at the same starting number.
The Sky Villa stands apart. At 7,941 sq ft on Palm Jumeirah, it targets a buyer making a primary-residence or significant long-hold decision rather than a rental-optimisation play.
What Five Amenities Tell You
| Category | Facility |
|---|---|
| Fitness | Gymnasium |
| Dining & Retail | Restaurants, Retail Facilities |
| Recreation | Shared Pool |
| Community | Mosque |
Five amenities at this price level reflects a deliberately lean model. The gym, pool, and on-site dining cover the essentials without heavy shared infrastructure. The mosque is an uncommon feature in a private residential building of this scale. This amenity profile suits a resident who values a quiet, well-managed building over resort-style common areas.
Past the March 2026 Completion Date
AHS Properties started construction in May 2023. The scheduled completion was March 2026. That date has now passed. Buyers entering now are looking at a near-complete or recently completed building, with the development timeline having largely run its course.
Getting In for 5%
| Payment Phase | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Down Payment | 5% |
| During Construction | 55% |
| Handover | 40% |
The 5% down payment is the headline. At AED 16.6M entry, the initial commitment is approximately AED 831,750. The 40% at handover is the balance that matters most: roughly AED 6.65M on the entry unit and just under AED 11.6M on the Sky Villa. The full balance clears at keys, with no post-handover installment structure.
