Metac

Metac is here with Haven Living on Central Island, and it brings together two things that rarely appear together: a below-median price and one of the nearest-term handovers on the whole archipelago, dated Q4 2025. For a buyer who wants to be into the rental market fast without overpaying, that combination is the whole point.

Haven Living is priced from about AED 1.925M at AED 1,700 per sq.ft, which is well below the island median of AED 2,445. A per-foot price this low on Central Island, the built-up core with the deepest resale market, is genuinely rare, and the near-term handover means you reach the rental market sooner than almost anything else on the islands. Sizes run from around 1,132 sq.ft up to 4,464, with one to four bedrooms, which skews to the larger, more end-user-oriented end, so you are getting real space at a low per-foot rate.

The payment plan is a soft 35/65, deferring 65 percent to handover, one of the more generous on the islands. Paired with a Q4 2025 completion, that is unusual: you defer most of the money and reach the finish line very soon. It is a small building at 51 units, which brings a quieter address and far less internal competition when you rent or sell.

The honest read on Haven Living is one of the strongest value-and-timing combinations in this whole set. A well-below-median price, a soft plan, a very near-term handover and a small building on the best-connected island is a genuinely rare package, and it is exactly what a value-focused buyer who wants income sooner should be looking for. The near-term date also means less time for anything to go wrong, which I read as a positive. As always, confirm on-site progress, but of the value entries on Central Island, Haven Living is one of the most compelling on the combination of price and timing.

Haven Living is priced from AED 1.93M at AED 1,700 per sq.ft. That is 30% below the Dubai Islands apartment median of AED 2,445, a gap of AED 745 per foot, which puts it in the cheapest quarter of island pricing. On its 35/65 payment plan, that entry price splits into about AED 674K committed across construction and AED 1.25M due at handover. Budget roughly another 6 to 7 per cent to complete, around AED 125K: 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 Q4 2025, the building holds 51 units, sized 1,132 to 4,464 sq.ft, currently selling. View the full listing →
