Emaar payment plans
Emaar rarely discounts and rarely offers long post-handover plans — the value is in the asset, not the terms.
Payment terms are indicative and change with every launch. Message Ilona for the exact schedule on the project you are considering.
Prices and who it suits
Entry price. From roughly AED 1.5M (USD 410k) for a one-bedroom in a newer community; Downtown and Beachfront start considerably higher.
Right for you if. You want the lowest-risk Dubai asset, strong resale liquidity, and a name US banks, tenants, and future buyers instantly recognise.
Emaar for US investors
Emaar is the most common first purchase for American buyers because units resell easily and rent quickly through professional management. Most Emaar releases at two bedrooms and above clear the AED 2M Golden Visa threshold.

Emaar — frequently asked questions
Is Emaar a good investment in Dubai?
Emaar is considered the benchmark. Its communities hold value better than the market average in downturns and lead recoveries, because demand is deep and the developer's completion record removes delivery risk. Expect roughly 5–7% gross rental yields, with the main return coming from capital appreciation.
What payment plans does Emaar offer?
Typically 10–20% on booking, 50–70% during construction against build milestones, and 20–30% on handover. Post-handover plans appear on selected launches but are not standard. Terms differ per project and per release.
Can US citizens buy Emaar property in Dubai?
Yes. Dubai freehold ownership is open to all nationalities, including US citizens, with no residency requirement. You can reserve a Emaar unit remotely — passport copy, signed reservation form, and an international transfer are usually all that is needed. KOROL GROUP handles the paperwork and Dubai Land Department registration on your behalf.
Does a Emaar purchase qualify for the UAE Golden Visa?
A property purchase of AED 2 million or more (about USD 545,000) qualifies the owner for the 10-year UAE Golden Visa, including off-plan purchases with an approved developer. Many Emaar units sit at or above that threshold — ask Ilona which current releases clear it on your budget.
