Emaar Takes Montiva to Creek Harbour, Handing Over in 2029
Montiva at Emaar Green Gate is a residential tower by Emaar Properties, located within Dubai Creek Harbour (The Lagoons). Emaar is the master developer of this entire district, so this is not a third-party project grafted onto someone else's community. It is an in-house release within Emaar's own masterplan.
Construction kicked off in October 2025. Handover targets September 2029. Buyers entering now are committing to roughly four years before keys. That is the realistic frame for any off-plan decision at Montiva.
A Waterfront District Near Downtown
Dubai Creek Harbour sits northeast of Downtown Dubai and wraps around Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary. Downtown is reachable in approximately 20 minutes by road. Business Bay and DIFC sit in a similar range. Dubai International Airport is about 15 minutes from the district.
For an end-user, the location means waterfront access within practical commuting distance of Dubai's main employment corridors. For an investor, the district is still developing. The surrounding community has years of build-out ahead, which is the honest context for a 2025-start tower.
One, Two, and Three Bedrooms Across a Wide Size Range
Montiva offers apartments in three bedroom configurations. The size range within each type is wide enough to change the character of what you are buying.
| Type | Size Range | Starting Price |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Bedroom | 754 – 1,260 sq ft | AED 1,940,000 |
| 2 Bedroom | 1,143 – 1,758 sq ft | AED 2,860,000 |
| 3 Bedroom | 1,834 – 1,910 sq ft | AED 4,060,000 |
The 1-bedroom range runs from 754 sq ft to 1,260 sq ft. The upper end runs 67% larger than the lower end. A buyer choosing between these layouts is essentially choosing between a compact investor unit and something closer to a full residence. The floor plan matters as much as the bedroom count.
2-bedroom units span 1,143 sq ft to 1,758 sq ft. At 1,758 sq ft, the upper end approaches the footprint of the 3-bedroom units in this building, which start at 1,834 sq ft. Buyers comparing 2BR and 3BR options here should look at specific layouts rather than the bedroom count alone.
3-bedroom apartments run from 1,834 to 1,910 sq ft, a tighter bracket, starting at AED 4,060,000.
Getting In for 10%
| Phase | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 10% |
| During construction | 70% |
| On handover | 20% |
A 10% down payment keeps the initial capital requirement low. The larger commitment is the 70% that stages across construction, from late 2025 through September 2029. On a 2-bedroom starting at AED 2,860,000, that construction tranche is roughly AED 2 million spread over four years. The remaining 20% comes due at handover in 2029.
What the Amenity Set Signals
| Category | Facilities |
|---|---|
| Fitness | Gymnasium, Indoor Swimming Pool |
| Outdoor | Landscaped Gardens, Children's Play Area |
| Security | CCTV |
| Dining | Restaurants |
Six amenities in total. The indoor swimming pool is the standout. An indoor pool makes the facility usable year-round, including Dubai's summer months when outdoor heat makes exercise impractical.
The children's play area alongside the landscaped gardens points to a building targeting families as much as investors. The on-site restaurant means residents have a dining option without leaving the building. That kind of convenience supports occupancy rates for investors focused on rental income.
