Beach Walk Grand, Dubai Islands: A Closer Look at the Numbers
Imtiaz Developments broke ground on Beach Walk Grand in December 2024. This is an apartment-only development on Dubai Islands, a waterfront area off the Deira coast that has been built out over recent years as a leisure and residential district. Completion is targeted for December 2026, giving off-plan buyers roughly 18 months before handover.
The standout feature in the project data is the payment structure. 40% of the purchase price is due after handover, not during construction.
Getting In for 20%
| Stage | Payment |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 20% |
| During construction | 40% |
| Post handover | 40% |
You put down 20% to enter, pay a further 40% as construction progresses, then settle the final 40% only after keys are handed over. That final block is the largest single payment in the schedule, and it falls due once the unit is yours. For buyers planning to rent immediately after handover, the first rental income can arrive before the final payment does. For owner-occupiers, the structure reduces the capital commitment during the construction phase and anchors the final outlay to the point when the property becomes liveable.
On the entry price of AED 2,100,000, the down payment comes to AED 420,000. On the top price of AED 3,200,000, the down payment rises to AED 640,000.
What AED 2.1M to AED 3.2M Covers
Apartments are the only property type. The AED 1.1M spread across a single category comes down to differences in unit size, floor level, and view. Buyers at the lower end of the range are most likely looking at smaller apartments on middle floors without a direct water aspect. Those at the upper end are probably targeting larger units positioned higher in the building, where the water views open up.
Dubai Islands: What the Location Means Day-to-Day
Dubai Islands is a waterfront district north of Deira, the older commercial core of the city. Road connections link it to the mainland. From here, Downtown Dubai is roughly 25 to 35 minutes in standard traffic and Dubai International Airport is about 15 to 20 minutes. For buyers with work in Deira, Airport Freezone, or the northern commercial corridors, the access is straightforward.
The waterfront setting and the project name both point toward short-stay and tourist-oriented rental demand. That is a different market from the corporate lettings that anchor Business Bay or DIFC occupancy.
Amenities
| Category | Facilities |
|---|---|
| Fitness and wellness | Indoor Swimming Pool, Gymnasium |
| Outdoor and leisure | Landscaped Gardens, Children's Play Area |
| Dining | Restaurants |
| Security | CCTV Security |
Six amenities in total. The indoor pool stands out: waterfront projects regularly skip covered aquatic facilities, treating the beach or coast as a substitute. Including an indoor pool alongside a beach-adjacent location signals that the developer is targeting year-round residential demand, not just seasonal or holiday use.
The children's play area and landscaped gardens indicate the project is aimed at resident families, not purely at investor-held units. On-site restaurants reduce the dependency on mainland dining, which matters when any trip off the island involves a car journey.
The Build Timeline
Construction is underway, having started in December 2024. The developer is targeting December 2026 for handover, a 24-month build window. The post-handover payment structure fits neatly: the 40% final tranche comes due once the project is finished and the keys are handed over. For a buyer who plans to let the apartment, that timing means the largest outlay and the first rental income arrive at roughly the same point.
