Marquis Galleria: Arjan Apartments from AED 990K
Marquis Galleria is an apartment development in Arjan, Dubai, built by Marquis Point. The project sits in a district that has built out steadily over the past several years and continues to draw buyers looking for more floor area and lower entry prices than the city's more central addresses offer.
Arjan and What It Means for a Buyer
Arjan sits in Dubailand, south of Al Barsha. Dubai Marina is roughly 20 minutes away and Downtown Dubai is around 25 minutes in regular traffic. The location is not central by Dubai standards, but the lower land costs flow through into per-square-foot pricing. That trade-off is the core of Arjan's appeal.
The district connects to the wider city via Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, one of Dubai's main arterial routes. Getting in and out by car is straightforward. Schools, clinics, and retail options have filled in along the corridor over the past several years. Daily life here is practical rather than lifestyle-led.
For investors, the gap between Arjan's entry prices and those of more established communities nearby is the argument. Buyers who see value in that difference tend to enter earlier in an area's growth cycle, before pricing closes the gap.
What AED 990K to AED 2.27M Gets You
The price range at Marquis Galleria spans AED 990,000 to AED 2,273,450. That is a wide spread for an apartment project, and it reflects different unit configurations rather than just floor premiums. When a range stretches this far in a single building, the lower end and upper end are appealing to different buyer profiles.
At the AED 990K end, expect a studio or compact one-bedroom. Investors targeting rental returns look at this level: lower entry keeps the yield calculation more attractive. First-time Dubai buyers who want to own rather than rent will also find this threshold accessible.
The AED 2.27M upper end is likely a two-bedroom or a larger one-bedroom in a well-positioned unit. At Arjan pricing, this delivers more floor area than equivalent money in the city's pricier parts. All units are apartments; there are no villas or townhouses in this development.
Amenities
| Category | Facilities |
|---|---|
| Climate | Central A/C |
| Outdoor | Balcony, Children's Play Area |
| Wellness | Shared Pool, Shared Spa, Shared Gym |
| Building Services | Security |
The shared spa is the standout item on this list. At Arjan price points, most buildings include a pool and gym and stop there. Including a spa positions this development above the standard mid-market specification in the district. The children's play area and individual balconies underline the developer's target resident: families and owner-occupiers who plan to stay, not short-term investors buying for quick turnover.
The amenity set as a whole is cohesive. A pool, gym, and spa paired with round-the-clock security gives residents what they need without stretching the spec into territory that becomes difficult to maintain.
Where Things Stand on Completion
Construction began in February 2023 with a target completion of December 2024. That date has now passed. The project is at or past the handover stage. Buyers entering now are not in the early off-plan window; the practical effect is a much shorter gap to possession than a newly-launched project would offer.
Getting In: 20% Down, 70% at Handover
| Stage | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 20% |
| During construction | 10% |
| At handover | 70% |
The structure is back-loaded. 30% of the purchase price is paid before handover; the remaining 70% falls due on completion. At the AED 990K entry price, that handover payment is approximately AED 693,000. At the AED 2.27M ceiling, it is around AED 1.59M. Buyers need those funds available or their financing confirmed before the keys change hands.
For buyers using bank financing, having mortgage pre-approval in place is essential given the size of the handover payment. The completion date has already passed, making this an immediate requirement rather than a future planning item.
