AMIS Developments

AMIS Developments is here with The Tides on Central Island, and its distinctive feature is the product mix: The Tides combines apartments with townhouses, which is rare on Dubai Islands where almost everything is apartments. A townhouse component gives the development something most of its neighbours do not have, and it appeals to an end-user who wants a house-style home on the best-connected island rather than a flat.

On price it sits at the upper end. The Tides is from about AED 2.1M at AED 2,590 per sq.ft, above the island median of AED 2,445. You are paying a modest premium, and the case for it is the differentiated townhouse-and-apartment format rather than the cheapest square foot. Sizes run from around 811 sq.ft up to 1,422, with layouts to four bedrooms, spanning the compact investor unit and the larger family home. Handover is dated Q2 2028, a mid-range horizon, on a balanced 50/50 plan, so most of the price is committed by completion.

It is a small building at 83 units, which is a genuine plus: a quieter address, faster snagging and less internal competition on rent and resale. In a townhouse-and-apartment format that small scale also means the townhouse component is genuinely limited, which supports its scarcity value at resale.

The honest read on The Tides is that it is a differentiated product at a modest premium, and whether it is worth it depends on the format mattering to you. If you specifically want a townhouse or a house-style home on Central Island, the mixed format is a real point of difference and the premium is defensible. If you just want a standard apartment at the best price, there are cheaper per-foot options on the island. As with any newer developer here, confirm on-site progress and keep a cushion on the Q2 2028 date. For the right buyer, the format is the reason to look.

The Tides is priced from AED 2.1M at AED 2,590 per sq.ft. That is 6% above the Dubai Islands apartment median of AED 2,445, a gap of AED 145 per foot, which puts it in the upper half of island pricing. On its 50/50 payment plan, that entry price splits into about AED 1.05M committed across construction and AED 1.05M due at handover. Budget roughly another 6 to 7 per cent to complete, around AED 137K: the 4 per cent Dubai Land Department fee, trustee and admin, the first year of service charge and snagging. At this price the registered value clears the AED 2M threshold for the 10-year Golden Visa. Handover is dated Q2 2028, the building holds 83 units, sized 811 to 1,422 sq.ft, currently selling.
