Bay Estate townhouses: 3 and 4-bedroom layouts, prices and payment plan

Two townhouse layouts, one building format

Bay Estate's townhouses are Nakheel's entry-level product into the community, on Dubai Islands. Both the 3-bedroom and 4-bedroom layouts are built as low-rise blocks of four or six units (4-plex or 6-plex), each unit spread over two floors. It is the most compact way into Bay Estate, and, at an average AED 5.9 million for the 3-bedroom layout, the lowest average price among the seven products Nakheel publishes for the community.

The figures below come from the price grid Nakheel shared with Orven on 27 September 2026. They are averages, not starting prices: every unit in a 4-plex or 6-plex block has its own price depending on its position, orientation and district.

Sizes and average prices

The 4-bedroom layout adds a full bedroom over the 3-bedroom unit, with roughly 460 sq ft more built area at the top of the brochure range. Both layouts sit within the same 4-plex or 6-plex format, so the difference between them is size and room count rather than building style.

The payment plan, with a worked example

Every Bay Estate townhouse follows the same 20/40/40 structure: 20% at booking, five instalments totalling 40% through construction, and 40% at an estimated handover in January 2031.

Applied to the 3-bedroom average of AED 5.9 million, that schedule works out to a booking payment of AED 1,180,000, then AED 295,000 twice, AED 590,000 twice, AED 295,000 twice, and a handover payment of AED 2,360,000. On the 4-bedroom average of AED 6.9 million, booking is AED 1,380,000, the four smaller instalments are AED 345,000 each, the two larger instalments are AED 690,000 each, and handover is AED 2,760,000. These are illustrations on the published averages, not a quote for a specific unit; ask Orven for the exact schedule of the plot you are considering, or check the Bay Estate price grid and plans yourself.

On top of the purchase price, Dubai Land Department registration adds 4%, through the Oqood system for an off-plan sale like this one, at a fixed fee confirmed in your contract.

Which townhouse suits which buyer

• A buyer prioritising the lowest entry price into Bay Estate, with three bedrooms enough for the household: the 3-bedroom townhouse.
• A family that needs a fourth bedroom, whether for a child, a guest room or a home office, and is willing to pay roughly AED 1 million more on average: the 4-bedroom townhouse.
• A buyer weighing a townhouse against a standalone villa: our Bay Estate project guide sets out every typology in the community, including the semi-detached villa that sits one step above the 4-bedroom townhouse in price.

Private pools seen on some renders are not part of the standard townhouse construction; they are added separately, at the buyer's cost, according to the brochure. Nakheel has not published the number of townhouse units available or an official launch date, so treat figures from other sources on these points as unconfirmed.

Where the townhouses sit in the community

Bay Estate's townhouses are released across the community's three districts: Cala on the waterfront, Verda around the parks, and Agora around the shared clubs. The first release launched in Verda; later releases have extended into the other two districts. Which district a given block sits in changes with each release, so ask your Orven advisor which townhouse plots are currently available and where.

For the wider Dubai Islands context, our Dubai Islands district guide covers the island's other Nakheel and Prestige One projects, and our guide to apartments for sale on Dubai Islands is useful if you are still comparing a townhouse against an apartment on the same island.

Reserving a townhouse remotely

Everything is handled remotely with Orven: you send your budget and preferred layout on WhatsApp at +971 52 776 1939 or by email at sales@orvenproperties.com, we confirm the current release and exact unit price, you sign the reservation form and sale contract electronically, and your first payment goes to the Dubai Land Department's escrow account, never directly to Nakheel.

FAQ

What is the difference between the 3 and 4-bedroom townhouses? The 4-bedroom layout adds a bedroom and roughly 460 sq ft of built area over the 3-bedroom layout, at an average price about AED 1 million higher. Both are built in the same 4-plex or 6-plex format over two floors.

Are the published townhouse prices what I will pay? No. They are averages from Nakheel's price grid. Every unit in a 4-plex or 6-plex block has its own price; ask Orven to confirm the exact price of the plot you are considering.

Do the townhouses have a private pool? Not as standard. Private pools shown on some renders are not included in the townhouse construction and are added separately, at the buyer's cost.

When are the townhouses delivered? Nakheel's price list gives an estimated handover of January 2031 for townhouses and villas at Bay Estate. Land plots follow a different, earlier schedule.

Which district are the townhouses in? Townhouses are released across Cala, Verda and Agora, Bay Estate's three districts. The first release launched in Verda; ask Orven which district the currently available townhouse plots are in.
