Nas 3 Residence: Arjan Off-Plan with a Flexible Payment Structure
Nas 3 Residence is a residential project by Rabdan Developments, located in the Arjan district of Dubai. The project spans studios through three-bedroom apartments and two-bedroom duplexes, with a payment plan built around a 15% down payment and a substantial 30% post-handover tranche that extends the payment window well past the handover date.
Getting In for 15%
The down payment is 15%. The full schedule:
| Phase | Amount |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 15% |
| During construction | 45% |
| At handover | 10% |
| Post handover | 30% |
The 30% deferred to post-handover is the key detail to understand. Buyers complete 60% of payments before receiving keys, then carry the remaining balance over the post-handover period. For investors, this means rental income can help cover ongoing payments once the unit is tenanted. For owner-occupiers, it reduces the cash pressure at handover compared to a fully front-loaded structure. The tradeoff is a longer total obligation that extends into the post-handover window.
What the Price Range Covers
Prices run from AED 650,000 to AED 2,284,000. That spread is driven by the mix of unit sizes and formats available.
Studios start at 454 sq ft from AED 650K. One-bedroom apartments run from 892 sq ft at AED 1.18M. Two-bedroom apartments start at 1,325 sq ft from AED 1.92M. Three-bedroom apartments come in at 1,609 sq ft for AED 2.28M. The two-bedroom duplexes, at 1,959 sq ft starting from AED 1.92M, are the largest units in the project and are priced competitively per square foot relative to the two-bedroom apartments.
The investor targeting a low entry point will focus on the studios at AED 650K. Families or buyers who need more dedicated space will weigh the two and three-bedroom apartments, or consider the duplex if the larger floor plan is the draw.
Arjan: What the Location Means
Arjan sits in Dubailand, south of Al Barsha. The district connects to Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, giving residents car access to Business Bay, Downtown Dubai, and Dubai Marina. Arjan is a mid-market residential district. The price range at Nas 3 Residence fits that character, with entry-level pricing for investors at the studio end and family-scale units at the top of the range.
Apartments and Duplexes
The project offers apartments and duplexes. Studios and one-bedroom units suit investors and single residents. Two and three-bedroom apartments work for families or buyers who need dedicated room. The duplex format, with a footprint of roughly 1,959 sq ft, targets buyers who want a multi-level home without moving to a villa.
What the Amenities Say
| Category | Amenities |
|---|---|
| Recreation | Shared Pool, Gymnasium, Well-being and Fitness, Barbecue Area |
| Outdoor | Community Park, Landscaped Gardens, Children's Play Area |
| Services | Valet Parking, Mosque |
Nine amenities is a solid count for a project at this price level. Valet parking is a notable inclusion, suggesting the developer is pitching at the upper tier of the mid-market segment. The well-being and fitness listing alongside the gymnasium implies a dedicated wellness space rather than a single multipurpose gym. Children's play area, community park, and landscaped gardens together confirm families as the primary target resident.
Timeline
Construction started in October 2023. The expected completion was June 2026, which has now passed. The project is likely at or near the handover stage, which changes the nature of the purchase. Buyers entering now face a very short or zero remaining construction wait, rather than a multi-year off-plan horizon.
