Off-plan options in Dubai Creek Harbour cover a wide range right now: Albero starts from AED 1,813,888 with one to five bedroom apartments and penthouses, Creek Bay starts from AED 1.8 million with one to three bedroom apartments facing the creek directly, and Mangrove starts from AED 4,109,888 for buyers who want a larger footprint, up to five bedrooms plus penthouses.

Albero: a wider bedroom range than most neighbours

Albero spans a wider bedroom range than most of its Creek Harbour neighbours, from one-bedroom apartments up to five-bedroom penthouses, aimed at buyers who may want to trade up within the same building later. The scheme borrows its name and planting scheme from the Italian word for tree, with ground-level landscaping carrying that theme through courtyards and shaded walkways. Vibrant retail spaces sit nearby, alongside the wider district's waterfront promenade and parks. Payment schedule is on request.

Creek Bay: the creek itself as the main outlook

Creek Bay lines up one to three bedroom apartments along a stretch of Dubai Creek Harbour where the creek itself, not the marina or the park, is the main outlook. Covered walkways and planted courtyards separate the building from the road, and most units carry a balcony oriented toward the water or the Downtown skyline beyond it. The project sits within walking distance of the harbour's central retail strip, a practical choice for buyers who want daily errands close by. Payment schedule is on request here too.

Mangrove: the largest footprint of the three

Mangrove takes its name from the tidal mangrove reserve that borders Dubai Creek Harbour, and its larger unit mix, up to five bedrooms and penthouses, places it among the more expensive releases in the district. Floor-to-ceiling glazing frames the reserve and the creek beyond, while the amenity podium repeats the district's established formula of pools, gym and landscaped terraces.

Comparing the three releases

Project	Typology	Starting price	Outlook
Albero	1 to 5 bed apartments and penthouses	From AED 1,813,888	Tree-themed courtyards, retail
Creek Bay	1 to 3 bed apartments	From AED 1.8 million	Direct creek views
Mangrove	1 to 5 bed apartments and penthouses	From AED 4,109,888	Mangrove reserve and creek

Why none of these three publish a payment schedule

All three fiches confirm a starting price but list payment schedule as "on request", a pattern that repeats across several Dubai Creek Harbour releases from the same developer. That doesn't mean no plan exists, only that it isn't published on the official page as verified by our team; your adviser requests the current structure directly before you reserve.

A note on the district's broader context

Dubai Creek Harbour's amenity formula, a landscaped podium, pools, gyms and a shared promenade, repeats across most of its towers, so the deciding factor between Albero, Creek Bay and Mangrove tends to come down to budget and bedroom count rather than a dramatic difference in shared facilities.

Financing an off-plan unit

A mortgage is not off the table for a non-resident buyer here, but the bank itself decides case by case, and none of Albero, Creek Bay or Mangrove currently has a published rate or a named lending partner.

Registration during construction

Payments go into an escrow account supervised by the Dubai Land Department, with progress trackable through the DLD's Project Status Enquiry service, and Oqood registration confirmed at contract stage for each of these three releases.

Golden Visa across these three price points

A property investment of at least AED 2 million opens the door to a Golden Visa application, subject to conditions confirmed by the authorities. Mangrove already clears that threshold at its starting price; Albero and Creek Bay would need a larger or higher-floor unit to reach it, since both start below AED 2 million.
