Invest Group Overseas

Invest Group Overseas, often known as IGO, is an established Dubai developer with a genuine back-catalogue, which puts them in the minority on Dubai Islands where most names are newcomers. Their building here is Azura Residences on Central Island, the built-up core with the deepest resale market on the archipelago, and it is one of the more sensible entries on the island for two reasons: the price and the timing.

Azura is priced from about AED 1.6M at AED 1,710 per sq.ft, which is well below the island median of AED 2,445. A genuinely below-median price on Central Island from an established developer is a rare combination here, and it is the main reason to look at Azura. The AED 1.6M entry also keeps it accessible for a first investment or a smaller ticket. It is a mid-to-large building at 148 units, with sizes from around 938 sq.ft up to 6,019 and layouts to three bedrooms, so there is a broad range from investor unit to large apartment, and the bigger amenity base and more resilient service charge that come with a building of that size.

The timing is the other draw. Handover is dated Q2 2026, which is near-term by island standards, so you are into the rental market sooner and your capital works for less time before it starts earning. The payment plan is 60/40, so most of the price is due by that soon-arriving completion, which suits a buyer with capital ready rather than one relying on a long deferred plan.

The case for Azura is straightforward and strong for a value buyer: an established developer, a below-median price, a near-term handover, on the island with the deepest resale market. That is a lot of the boxes ticked at once, and it is rarer on Dubai Islands than it should be. The one thing to weigh is that 148 units means real internal competition on rent and resale, so buy the right line and do not assume every unit in the building performs the same. On the fundamentals, Azura is one of the better value-and-certainty combinations on Central Island.

Azura Residences is priced from AED 1.6M at AED 1,710 per sq.ft. That is 30% below the Dubai Islands apartment median of AED 2,445, a gap of AED 735 per foot, which puts it in the cheapest quarter of island pricing. On its 60/40 payment plan, that entry price splits into about AED 960K committed across construction and AED 640K due at handover. Budget roughly another 6 to 7 per cent to complete, around AED 104K: the 4 per cent Dubai Land Department fee, trustee and admin, the first year of service charge and snagging. A completed unit at this price qualifies the owner for the 2-year investor visa; the 10-year Golden Visa needs AED 2M registered, which this entry does not reach. Handover is dated Q2 2026, the building holds 148 units, sized 938 to 6,019 sq.ft, currently selling. View the full listing →
