La Boutique, Al Jaddaf: Apartments from AED 909,000, Handover December 2026
LMD is the developer behind La Boutique, an apartment project in Al Jaddaf, Dubai. Construction got underway in July 2024, and the project targets handover by the end of December 2026.
Al Jaddaf: Creek-Side with Metro Access
Al Jaddaf sits on the east bank of Dubai Creek. The district has its own Green Line Metro station, which puts Downtown Dubai roughly 10 minutes away by train and Business Bay in the same direction. For someone commuting to the financial district, DIFC, or the broader central business corridor, this is a workable location without the premium pricing of living inside those areas.
The Creek-side setting gives the district its own character. Oud Metha and Bur Dubai are immediately adjacent for everyday needs, and the airport is reachable via Metro with one change. Al Jaddaf sits close enough to Dubai's main employment corridors to suit a working household without sitting in the middle of the most expensive addresses.
What AED 909,000 to AED 1.65 Million Gets You
La Boutique offers apartments. The asking prices span from AED 909,000 at the entry level to AED 1,650,000 at the top, a spread of roughly 80 percent between the two ends. In an apartment-only project, that range typically reflects differences in unit size. Compact apartments sit at the lower end; the upper end buys substantially more floor space in the same building, same location.
At AED 909,000, this is a sub-million entry point for a new-build apartment in a Metro-connected district. At AED 1.65 million, the buyer is paying a size premium over other units in the same development, not a location or quality uplift.
Amenities: Practical Setup, Light on Extras
| Category | Amenities |
|---|---|
| Fitness & Leisure | Gymnasium, Shared Pool, Barbecue Area |
| Family | Children's Play Area |
| Dining | Restaurants |
| Security | CCTV Security |
Six amenities in total. Pool, gym, and a children's play area handle the core needs of a working household. A barbecue area adds an outdoor social option. Restaurants on site is a less common inclusion at this price point and removes a daily errand for residents who prefer to eat in the building.
The amenity set points to a project for working residents and small families rather than buyers who prioritise resort-style facilities. Six facilities with a straightforward list also suggest a leaner service charge than developments carrying heavier amenity infrastructure, which is relevant for investors calculating net yield.
Seven Months to Handover
Construction started in July 2024 and is expected to complete by 31 December 2026. For a buyer entering today, that is roughly seven months of remaining off-plan exposure. The project is already well into its construction cycle, reducing timing uncertainty compared to projects that have just launched.
For an investor, the short remaining window limits off-plan price movement before keys are issued, but the trade-off is a faster path to rental income. For an end-user, it is a relatively short wait before occupying.
Getting In for 20%
| Milestone | Amount |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 20% |
| During construction | 40% |
| At handover | 40% |
The 20% down payment starts the purchase. The 40% during construction is staged across the build period; with seven months left, buyers entering now may find much of that tranche already due or arriving shortly. The 40% at handover is the largest single payment in the schedule. All obligations complete at key collection in December 2026, with nothing extending beyond delivery.
