C G Gulf Real Estate Development L.L.C

C G Gulf Real Estate Development is here with CG Living on Central Island, and it sits at the premium end of the market. At AED 3,750 per sq.ft it is well above the island median of AED 2,445 and into the top quartile, so this is a building that has to justify itself on finish and product rather than value.

Entry is from about AED 2.5M. The building spec is more substantial than most on the island: it runs to a basement plus ground, two podium levels and twelve floors, which is a fuller structure than the typical mid-rise here and usually signals more parking and amenity space. It is a mid-sized building at 116 units, with sizes from around 667 sq.ft up to 1,840 and one to three bedrooms, aimed at investors and small-family end users rather than large families. The payment plan is 60/40, standard for the islands, with handover dated Q1 2028, a mid-range horizon.

At a top-quartile per-foot price from a newer developer without a completed building here, the honest read is that CG Living needs the finish and the specific unit to genuinely justify the number. The fuller building spec is a point in its favour, and on Central Island you get the deepest resale market to support a premium product at exit, but AED 3,750 per sq.ft is a lot to pay to an unproven name, and I would want to see the delivered-quality evidence before committing.

Who should look at CG Living. Buyers who value a more substantial building spec and a premium finish, and are convinced by the specific unit, on the island with the best resale depth. Who should skip it. Value buyers, because the per-foot price is well above the median and there are far cheaper entries on Central Island. As always with a newer developer, confirm on-site progress and keep a cushion on the Q1 2028 date.

CG Living is priced from AED 2.5M at AED 3,750 per sq.ft. That is 53% above the Dubai Islands apartment median of AED 2,445, a gap of AED 1,305 per foot, which puts it in the top quarter of island pricing. On its 60/40 payment plan, that entry price splits into about AED 1.5M committed across construction and AED 1M due at handover. Budget roughly another 6 to 7 per cent to complete, around AED 163K: 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 Q1 2028, the building holds 116 units, sized 667 to 1,840 sq.ft, currently selling.
