Kore by Imtiaz in Dubai Land Residence Complex
Imtiaz Developments is bringing Kore to Dubai Land Residence Complex, with construction underway from August 2026 and handover targeted for December 2028. The project offers apartments in a freehold community on Dubai's southeastern edge.
Dubai Land Residence Complex: The Location in Practice
DLRC sits in the southeastern quadrant of Dubai, east of Academic City and south of Mirdif. It is part of the broader Dubai Land master-planned area, a large residential belt spanning this portion of the city. Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311) runs along the district's western boundary. Dubai Al Ain Road (E66) connects from the south. Both are major arterials with direct access to the wider city grid.
Downtown Dubai is roughly 30 to 35 minutes in normal traffic. Dubai International Airport is closer, around 20 to 25 minutes. Dubai Silicon Oasis and Academic City sit immediately adjacent. Global Village and Dubai Outlet Mall are within a short drive.
DLRC is a freehold zone. Apartment buyers here receive full freehold title, a distinction that matters for expatriate buyers in the UAE market. The district is predominantly residential in character: community developments and housing clusters rather than commercial corridors.
For buyers working in the Academic City, Silicon Oasis, or DUBIOTECH cluster, DLRC is effectively a local address. For buyers based in Downtown, Business Bay, or Dubai Marina, the commute is longer. The road infrastructure helps, but the distance is real.
Apartments Only: Two Buyer Profiles
Kore delivers apartments exclusively. No villas, no townhouses. This makes the project straightforward to evaluate: it is a community apartment development, nothing else.
For an owner-occupier, this is freehold title in a managed residential community. For an investor, the apartment format in DLRC speaks to mid-market tenants who want community living, road connectivity, and freehold-zone access without paying for a central address. Both buyer types are looking at the same asset; how they use it after handover differs.
Amenities: Family-Ready, with One Practical Standout
| Category | Facilities |
|---|---|
| Fitness | Gymnasium, Indoor Swimming Pool |
| Outdoor & Community | Landscaped Gardens, Community Park, Children's Play Area |
| Security | CCTV Security |
The indoor swimming pool earns attention here. In Dubai's climate, outdoor pools lose much of their appeal from June through September when temperatures peak. An indoor pool removes that seasonal constraint entirely, making swimming a year-round amenity rather than a nine-month one.
The remaining five amenities point squarely at families. A children's play area, community park, and landscaped gardens are the facilities buyers with young children look for in a community. The gym covers fitness. Nothing in the list suggests a luxury or lifestyle-brand approach: no spa, no concierge, no co-working space. The set is functional and community-focused, consistent with the project's positioning in a residential district like DLRC.
Off-Plan Window: Handover December 2028
Construction started in August 2026. Handover is targeted for December 2028. That is a 28-month build cycle from first pour to keys.
Buyers entering now are committing for that full off-plan period. The property cannot be leased or occupied during construction. Buyers who need a yield-generating asset quickly are not aligned with this timeline. Buyers who can deploy capital for roughly two years before the asset becomes productive are the natural fit for this entry point.
The project is genuinely early stage. Construction began only in August 2026, so the full build window is ahead.
Payment Terms: An Even Split, All Before Handover
| Stage | Amount |
|---|---|
| During construction | 50% |
| At handover | 50% |
The plan splits the purchase price evenly. Half is payable during the construction period. The remaining half is due at handover. There is no post-handover installment plan.
Some plans carry a portion of the price past handover, allowing buyers to use early rental income against remaining installments. This structure does not work that way. The full purchase price settles at handover, before the buyer can lease or occupy the unit.
