Casa Vista behind Aquora on Central Island, a mid-market building with a longer handover horizon.
Casa Vista Development is here with Aquora on Central Island, the built-up core with the deepest resale market on the archipelago. It is a straightforward mid-market building, and the main thing to weigh is the timeline, since Aquora has one of the longer handover horizons in this group at Q4 2028.
Aquora is priced from about AED 2M at AED 2,600 per sq.ft, which sits just above the island median of AED 2,445. That is a fair mid-market price rather than a premium or a bargain, and the AED 2M entry keeps the smaller units within reach. Sizes run from around 770 sq.ft up to 4,069, with one to three bedrooms, so it spans the compact investor unit and the larger family apartment. It is a mid-sized building at 111 units, which brings a reasonable amenity base but also more internal competition than a small building, so the specific line and floor you pick matters.
The payment plan is 60/40, standard for the islands, so most of the price is committed by the Q4 2028 handover. That longer horizon is the key consideration. A 2028 completion means your capital is committed for longer before it starts earning, and more can move in Dubai pricing over that stretch, so Aquora is better read as a patient hold than a near-term rental play.
The honest read on Aquora is that it is a sensible, fairly-priced mid-market building whose main trade-off is the wait. A just-above-median price on Central Island is a reasonable entry, and the size range helps resale liquidity, but the Q4 2028 date means you should only buy if you are comfortable holding through to then. As with any newer developer here, confirm on-site progress and keep a cushion on the date. For a patient buyer, Aquora is a fair Central Island option; for one who wants to be renting soon, an earlier-handover building suits better.
Every figure below is measured against the Dubai Islands apartment median of AED 2,445 per sq.ft, with the payment plan worked into dirhams and the cost to complete added on.
Aquora is priced from AED 2M at AED 2,600 per sq.ft. That is 6% above the Dubai Islands apartment median of AED 2,445, a gap of AED 155 per foot, which puts it in the upper half of island pricing. On its 60/40 payment plan, that entry price splits into about AED 1.2M committed across construction and AED 800K due at handover. Budget roughly another 6 to 7 per cent to complete, around AED 130K: 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 Q4 2028, the building holds 111 units, sized 770 to 4,069 sq.ft, currently selling.

Aquora is a sensible, fairly-priced mid-market building whose main trade-off is its longer Q4 2028 handover. It suits a patient buyer rather than one who wants to be renting soon. As a newer name, confirm on-site progress and keep a cushion on the date.
From about AED 2M at AED 2,600 per sq.ft, just above the island median of AED 2,445. That is a fair mid-market price, with the AED 2M entry keeping smaller units within reach.
Q4 2028, one of the longer horizons in this group, on a standard 60/40 plan. Your capital is committed for longer before it earns, so read Aquora as a patient hold rather than a near-term rental play.
It is mid-sized at 111 units, with sizes from around 770 to 4,069 sq.ft and one to three bedrooms. That brings a reasonable amenity base but also more internal competition, so the specific line and floor you pick matters.
A patient buyer comfortable holding to a Q4 2028 completion, spanning investors and families given the wide size range. If you want to be renting soon, an earlier-handover building on the island suits better.
Their work here averages about AED 2,600 per sq.ft, roughly 6% above the Dubai Islands apartment median of AED 2,445. The entry point is Aquora at AED 2M.
Budget about 6 to 7 per cent of the price to complete: the 4 per cent Dubai Land Department fee, trustee and admin, the first year of service charge and snagging. On the Aquora entry at AED 2M that is roughly AED 130K on top.
Yes. 1 of their launches here register at AED 2M or more, which clears the threshold for the 10-year Golden Visa, measured on the registered purchase value. Cheaper units still qualify for the 2-year investor visa.
