Firoza: Apartments on Dubai Islands from AED 1.7 Million
Ever Glory Developments is bringing Firoza to Dubai Islands, a waterfront district in the northern part of Dubai. The project spans one, two, and three-bedroom apartments, with handover targeted for October 2027. Construction began in November 2025, placing buyers who enter now roughly two years from keys.
Dubai Islands: What the Location Means in Practice
Dubai Islands sits north of Deira, connected to the mainland via Al Ittihad Road. Residents are approximately 20 to 25 minutes from Dubai International Airport and a similar drive from Downtown Dubai. Deira, which sits directly behind Dubai Islands, is one of the most established districts in the city.
For buyers considering the investment angle, the proximity to Deira's commercial belt is a practical location advantage. The waterfront positioning gives the address a coastal character while remaining within an established urban area.
What AED 1.7M to 3.35M Gets You Here
The pricing is flat on a per-square-foot basis across all three unit types, which makes the choice between them a straightforward function of space.
| Unit Type | Area | Starting Price | Price/sqft |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1-bedroom | 850 sq ft | AED 1,700,000 | ~AED 2,000 |
| 2-bedroom | 1,355 sq ft | AED 2,710,000 | ~AED 2,000 |
| 3-bedroom | 1,675 sq ft | AED 3,350,000 | ~AED 2,000 |
All three sit at approximately AED 2,000 per square foot. Moving from a 1-bedroom to a 3-bedroom nearly doubles the capital commitment but also nearly doubles the usable space. There is no size premium in the pricing. A buyer at the entry price and one at the top unit are paying the same rate per square foot.
For investors, the 1-bedroom at AED 1.7 million is the most liquid unit type. For end-users, the 2 and 3-bedroom units offer significantly more living space at no per-square-foot penalty.
Getting In for 20%
| Milestone | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 20% |
| During construction | 40% |
| Handover | 40% |
A 20% down payment translates to AED 340,000 for the 1-bedroom entry, or AED 670,000 for the 3-bedroom. The 40% construction-phase payments spread across roughly two years, from late 2025 into mid-2027.
The 40% handover payment falls due in October 2027. There is no post-handover plan on this project, so the final tranche is due at keys. Buyers using mortgage finance need their facility confirmed ahead of that date. The 20/40/40 structure is standard for off-plan projects in this price range.
Amenities
| Category | Facilities |
|---|---|
| Outdoor | Landscaped Gardens |
| Fitness | Gymnasium |
| Dining | Restaurants |
| Family | Children's Play Area |
| Security | CCTV Security |
Five amenities covering the core categories. The gymnasium and children's play area together point to a project aimed at families and long-term residents. On-site restaurants reduce reliance on the surrounding area for daily dining. The landscaped gardens offer communal outdoor space.
The overall specification is functional rather than resort-style. These five facilities address day-to-day practical needs rather than a lifestyle-club offering.
Two Years to Handover
Booking opened in November 2025 and construction began the same month. Expected completion is October 2027, giving roughly 23 months from construction start to delivery. Buyers entering now are early in that cycle.
The 40% handover payment is the largest single cash commitment in the schedule, falling due at keys in October 2027. For buyers using mortgage finance, that facility needs to be in place ahead of that deadline.
Firoza is a direct off-plan entry into the Dubai Islands waterfront market. The pricing is consistent across unit types, the location has Deira's established urban fabric directly behind it, and the payment structure follows the standard 20/40/40 format common in this segment.
