IMG Tower: Apartments in Al Barari from AED 870,000
Tiger Properties is developing IMG Tower in Wadi Al Safa, a residential sub-area within Dubai's Al Barari district. The building is entirely residential, offering apartments in one, two, and three-bedroom layouts. Construction broke ground in April 2026, and the handover target is January 2029.
A Different Kind of Central Dubai
Al Barari is one of the few large-scale communities in Dubai built around low density and dedicated green space. It sits in central Dubai but reads very differently from what that label usually implies. The plots are larger, the street-level activity quieter, and the landscaping more deliberate than in the tower-dense corridors closer to the coast or Downtown.
Wadi Al Safa is on the eastern edge of Al Barari, where the built footprint thins further. The Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road provides the main access route, and from this location, Business Bay and Downtown Dubai are roughly 25 minutes by car. Dubai International Airport sits at a similar distance to the east. Dubai Marina is around 30 minutes in the opposite direction.
This is not a walkable neighbourhood. There are no high-street shops or metro connections within easy reach. A car is necessary for groceries, school runs, and social activity outside the building. Residents trade that daily convenience for more space, more quiet, and a consistently greener immediate environment. That trade is the central value proposition of this address.
What AED 870,000 Gets You Here
The entry price for one-bedroom apartments is AED 870,000. Two and three-bedroom units are also available in the building. AED 870,000 is the anchor figure for this project and represents what a buyer pays for the smallest available configuration. Buyers targeting larger units will work above this floor.
With only apartments on offer, this project suits buyers looking for a residential entry into Al Barari rather than a villa or townhouse proposition.
Seven Amenities, Two That Stand Out
| Theme | Amenities |
|---|---|
| Fitness & Wellness | Gymnasium, Indoor Swimming Pool |
| Outdoor Living | Landscaped Gardens, Barbecue Area |
| Family Facilities | Children's Play Area |
| Dining & Security | Restaurants, CCTV Security |
The indoor swimming pool removes a seasonal constraint that outdoor-only pools face in Dubai. During the summer months, outdoor swimming in direct sun is limited to early morning and evening; an indoor option stays practical year-round. On-site restaurants reduce the need to drive out for everyday dining, which is a genuine advantage in a car-dependent community where all external options require leaving the building. The combination of indoor pool and in-building dining means two common daily needs are handled without getting into a car. The broader amenity set, gym, landscaped gardens, children's play area, barbecue space, supports families and longer-stay residents more than short-term occupants.
32 Months to Handover
Construction started in April 2026. The expected completion is January 2029, roughly 32 months from today. Buyers entering now are at the beginning of the active construction phase, with the bulk of the build and most of the payment instalments still ahead. The 32-month timeline means the purchase is an off-plan commitment with no near-term option to occupy or rent. For anyone planning to use or lease the unit, January 2029 is the earliest that becomes possible.
Getting In at 20% Down
| Payment Stage | Proportion |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 20% |
| During construction | 50% |
| On handover | 30% |
A 20% down payment secures the unit at signing. For a one-bedroom at AED 870,000, that is AED 174,000 at entry. The 50% construction tranche, AED 435,000 at the one-bedroom price, is paid across instalments over the 32-month build period. The final 30%, AED 261,000, falls due at handover in January 2029. No deferred payment extends beyond that point; the full balance closes on possession.
