Altan by Emaar, Dubai Creek Harbour
Emaar Properties launched Altan in June 2025 in the Lagoons sub-community of Dubai Creek Harbour. The project combines apartments and three-bedroom townhouses. Construction started at launch, with completion scheduled for July 2029.
Creek-Side Setting, 10 Minutes from the Airport
Dubai Creek Harbour sits about 10 kilometres northeast of Downtown Dubai, reached via Ras Al Khor Road. The Lagoons sub-community runs along the historic Dubai Creek waterfront. From here, Downtown Dubai and Business Bay are roughly 15 minutes by road. Dubai International Airport is approximately 10 minutes away.
The waterfront setting and airport proximity define the practical case for this location. Buyers get a calmer residential base than Downtown while staying connected to the major employment clusters, a combination that suits families and frequent travelers who prioritize space over central density.
Apartments from AED 1.8M to Townhouses at AED 6.9M
Altan offers two distinct property types at very different price points.
One-bedroom apartments start from AED 1,813,888, measuring 754 to 775 square feet. Two-bedroom apartments start from AED 3,080,000, spanning 1,177 to 1,452 square feet. Three-bedroom apartments start from AED 4,180,888 at 1,847 square feet.
The only townhouse configuration is three bedrooms, starting from AED 6,951,888 across 4,080 to 4,165 square feet.
The price spread here is wide. A buyer at AED 1.8 million is looking at a compact one-bedroom as a rental asset or first purchase. At AED 6.9 million, the townhouse buyer is choosing over 4,000 square feet of space within a managed waterfront community. The three-bedroom apartments sit in the middle and suit families who want that configuration without committing to the townhouse price.
Pool, Gym, and Restaurants On-Site

The indoor swimming pool extends year-round usability in a climate where outdoor facilities become uncomfortable during summer months. The on-site restaurant means residents have a dining option without leaving the development. Combined with the children's play area and landscaped gardens, the amenity set points toward a family-resident profile, consistent with the townhouse units that form part of the product mix.
July 2029: Four Years Out
Construction started in June 2025. Expected completion is July 2029, placing Altan approximately four years out for buyers entering today. Off-plan purchasers at this stage are entering early in the build cycle. The four-year window covers the bulk of the construction-period payment schedule before handover.
Getting In for 10%
| Stage | Payment |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 10% |
| During construction | 70% |
| Handover | 20% |
The entry point is 10% down. The heavier commitment sits in the construction period: 70% of the total purchase price paid in instalments before handover. For a one-bedroom apartment at AED 1,813,888, that construction tranche works out to approximately AED 1,270,000. For a townhouse at AED 6,951,888, the same 70% represents roughly AED 4,866,000 spread across the four-year build. The 20% balance is due at handover in 2029.
