Kempinski Residences on Dubai Creek
Swiss Property's Kempinski Residences sits in Al Jaddaf, within Dubai Healthcare City 2, on the eastern bank of Dubai Creek. The project delivers apartments and duplexes under the Kempinski name, placing it in the upper segment of Dubai's branded residential market. Construction began in April 2024 with a scheduled handover of September 2025.
Al Jaddaf and What the Address Means in Practice
Al Jaddaf sits between Oud Metha and Festival City, roughly 10 minutes from DIFC by car and around 15 minutes from Downtown Dubai. It is a quieter district than either neighbour: no major retail strip, no nightlife cluster. Buyers here trade urban activity for Creek-side access and a shorter commute without central-Dubai pricing.
The project sits within Dubai Healthcare City 2, a mixed-use corridor along the Creek's eastern bank. Road access runs via Al Khail Road, giving direct routes toward Business Bay and Dubai International Airport. The Metro's Green Line runs through Oud Metha nearby, which matters for residents who prefer public transit.
What AED 2.85M to AED 8.4M Covers
The price range is wide because the product is genuinely different across the tiers. AED 2,857,500 is the entry point, landing on one-bedroom apartments from 827 sq ft to 1,243 sq ft. That is a healthy size range for a one-bedroom in this part of the city.
The step up to two-bedroom is a sharp one. Two-bedroom apartments begin at AED 4,620,833, nearly double the one-bedroom floor. The same price point opens access to two-bedroom duplexes at 2,406 sq ft, which offer a split-level format for buyers who prefer that over a flat plan.
The upper end at AED 8,387,500 covers three-bedroom apartments at 2,811 sq ft and three-bedroom duplexes from 2,507 sq ft up to 4,207 sq ft. The largest duplexes here deliver substantial floor area at the AED 8.4M price point.
Two Formats, Three Buyer Profiles
One-bedroom buyers are typically individual professionals or couples looking for a compact footprint in a branded building. The size range within the category gives this buyer options on configuration without changing bedroom count.
Two-bedroom units split between flat-plan apartments and duplexes. The flat-plan suits buyers who want a conventional layout and easier furnishing. The duplex suits those who want visual separation between living and sleeping areas, or who are buying as a primary residence and intend to stay.
Three-bedroom options are exclusively at the top price point. The duplex variants in this tier are the most space-generous units in the building and suit larger families or buyers seeking a permanent residence.
What the Amenity Set Reflects
| Category | Facilities |
|---|---|
| Fitness | Health Club, Gymnasium |
| Outdoor | Shared Pool, Balcony |
| Family | Children's Play Area |
| Safety | Security |
The fitness offering pairs a health club with a separate gymnasium, which is a step beyond a single gym room. Combined, they signal that the building expects residents who use fitness facilities regularly. The children's play area confirms the project targets family occupants alongside individual buyers. The overall list is functional rather than resort-style: no spa, no co-working, no dining. The premium positioning comes through the brand and finishes rather than an extended amenity catalogue.
Getting In for 10%
| Stage | Share |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 10% |
| During construction | 40% |
| Handover | 50% |
10% down is a low entry point. On the AED 2,857,500 one-bedroom, that is roughly AED 286,000 to secure the unit. The 40% construction tranche follows in installments during the build phase.
The largest single outlay is the 50% due at handover. With the scheduled completion date of September 2025 already passed, buyers entering now are dealing with a near-term or completed handover rather than a long off-plan timeline.
Completion: September 2025
Construction started in April 2024. The scheduled completion was September 2025, which means the project has likely reached or passed handover as of mid-2026. For buyers, this removes the multi-year off-plan wait. The handover payment becomes an immediate rather than future obligation for anyone purchasing now.
