Luminous Coastal Living: Apartments in Dubai Islands from AED 1.62M
Green Horizon Development brings Luminous Coastal Living to Dubai Islands, a waterfront apartment project with one, two, and three-bedroom units. Prices start at AED 1,622,000 and reach AED 3,574,000 for the largest three-bedroom. Construction began in November 2025, with handover set for January 2028. The standout number here is the 10% down payment, which sets a low entry barrier relative to the purchase price.
Getting In for 10%
| Stage | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 10% |
| During construction | 25% |
| Handover | 65% |
A 10% down payment means AED 162,200 secures an entry-level one-bedroom here. The 25% construction-period payments are spread across the 26-month build window. On the entry-price unit, that amounts to roughly AED 405,500 paid in stages between signing and handover. The remaining 65% falls due at handover in January 2028 as a single lump sum. There is no post-handover instalment option. The full balance lands in one payment at completion.
Dubai Islands: Location and What It Means Practically
Dubai Islands is a five-island waterfront development off the Deira coastline, to the north of central Dubai. The location offers a lower-density residential setting away from the city's denser districts.
Commuting to Downtown Dubai or Business Bay takes roughly 25 to 30 minutes by car in normal traffic. Dubai International Airport is closer, within approximately 15 minutes of the islands. That airport proximity is a practical advantage for frequent travellers and a meaningful factor for investors assessing short-stay rental appeal. Deira's commercial and retail areas, including the Gold Souk district, are a short drive away.
The Dubai Islands address delivers a coastal residential environment with functional access to central Dubai. For end-users, that means a quieter daily setting within a half-hour of the main commercial centres.
What AED 1.62M to 3.57M Buys You
The AED 1,622,000 to AED 3,574,000 range tracks unit size rather than a quality split. All units are apartments. The price per square foot runs from roughly AED 1,700 for the largest units to around AED 2,080 for the most compact, reflecting the standard pattern where smaller units carry a higher price per square foot.
One-bedroom apartments start at AED 1,622,000, with layouts from 780 sq ft to 949 sq ft. These are the entry point for individual investors and buyers keeping the handover balance manageable.
Two-bedroom units start at AED 2,311,000, from 1,200 sq ft to 1,379 sq ft. A practical size for small families and for investors targeting two-person rental occupancy.
Three-bedroom apartments top the range at AED 3,574,000 at 1,882 sq ft. These suit families with children or buyers consolidating capital into a single larger unit.
What the Amenities Say About the Project
| Category | Facilities |
|---|---|
| Wellness | Indoor Swimming Pool, Gymnasium |
| Outdoor | Landscaped Gardens |
| Dining | Restaurants |
| Family | Children's Play Area |
| Security | CCTV Security |
The indoor swimming pool is the notable facility choice. An indoor pool delivers consistent year-round access and a more contained setting than an outdoor one. The on-site restaurants reduce the need for residents to travel outside the complex for everyday dining. The children's play area alongside the gymnasium indicates a resident base weighted toward families and long-term owner-occupiers rather than short-stay tenants.
January 2028 Handover
Construction began in November 2025. Expected completion is January 2028, a 26-month build. Buyers entering now in mid-2026 are approximately seven months into that window, with roughly 19 months until handover.
January 2028 is also the month the 65% balance falls due. With no post-handover payment option, the full remaining purchase price is payable at completion.
