A low-rise beachfront design by Nikken Sekkei

The project page highlights the architecture as its defining feature: three low-rise buildings designed by Nikken Sekkei, the firm behind One Za'abeel, finished in a nautical palette of deep blues and whites. Homes carry high ceilings and large terraces, and the development sits at the meeting point of Palm Jumeirah and Bluewaters Island. Shared amenities include a private beach with dining outlets, swimming pools, treatment rooms, a sauna, a steam room and a yoga studio. It is H&H Development's debut residential project, giving the Shamal Holding partnership a direct hand in how it has been delivered.

The payment plan: 60/40 with a 5% booking stage

The project page lists the structure as 60% during the off-plan period, including a 5% booking payment, with the remaining 40% due on handover. On the AED 3.9 million starting price, the booking payment works out to AED 195,000, the balance of the 60% stage to AED 2,145,000, and the 40% handover payment to AED 1,560,000.

Golden Visa: above the threshold at entry price

At its AED 3.9 million starting price, Dubai Harbour Residences sits above the AED 2 million Golden Visa threshold, which can open the right to apply under conditions confirmed by the authorities. Our guide on the AED 2 million Golden Visa threshold covers the general rule; confirm the specific conditions with your adviser.

Who Dubai Harbour Residences suits

For a full-time residence, the combination of a private beach, treatment rooms and a yoga studio suits a buyer who wants resort-style daily amenities on a low-rise, beachfront scale rather than a high-rise tower. For a pied-à-terre, the 345-home scale across three buildings and the 1 to 4 bedroom range let an owner match unit size to how often they visit. For a rental objective, a beachfront project by a new entrant partnered with an established group typically draws interest from the Dubai Harbour waterfront audience, but current demand, achievable rents and occupancy are for your adviser to assess at the time you buy. Buyers comparing Dubai Harbour Residences from the Gulf, the UK, India, Nigeria or elsewhere in Europe often weigh it against other waterfront releases in the same district before deciding, since several projects in Dubai Harbour share a similar beachfront, low-rise positioning.

Points to confirm before you reserve

• Current availability across the 1 to 4 bedroom range and the 2 penthouses.
• The exact instalment schedule inside the 60% construction stage.
• The construction calendar in view of the Q1 2028 handover.
• Golden Visa eligibility for your unit and payment stage, confirmed with the authorities.
• Oqood registration and escrow account details for your reservation.

Buying from abroad, step by step

Based in the Gulf, the UK, India, Nigeria or elsewhere in Europe, the purchase itself runs the same way for every buyer: reservation, payment into an escrow account controlled by the Dubai Land Department, Oqood registration for the off-plan stage, and a title deed once the project is handed over. Progress on any registered project can be checked through the DLD's own Project Status Enquiry service. The DLD registration fee is 4% of the price for a completed sale; off-plan purchases register through Oqood at a fixed fee confirmed in your contract. Dubai does not levy income tax or capital gains tax on individuals, though tax treatment in your own country of residence may still apply and is worth checking with a local adviser. Mortgage financing is available to some non-residents, always subject to the lender's own approval.
