Dubai property between 3 and 5 million AED: Chelsea's two published prices, costed in full
Chelsea Residences is the only project in the Orven selection with a published starting price between AED 3 and 5 million, at AED 3.13 million for two bedrooms and AED 4.94 million for three. Larger apartments and penthouses elsewhere in the selection remain on request.
Chelsea Residences is currently the only project in the Orven selection with a published starting price between AED 3 million and AED 5 million: AED 3.13 million for a two-bedroom home and AED 4.94 million for three bedrooms. Both figures come from the developer's brochure, supplied by Orven and subject to availability. Larger apartments and penthouses from other projects in this range are not yet priced publicly.
What is published in this band
| Project | District | Typology | Starting price (AED) | ≈ USD |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chelsea Residences | Dubai Maritime City | 2 bedrooms | AED 3.13 million* | ≈ 852,300 |
| Chelsea Residences | Dubai Maritime City | 3 bedrooms | AED 4.94 million* | ≈ 1,345,100 |
\* Developer brochure figure supplied by Orven on 17 September 2026, subject to availability. Chelsea Residences sits on the waterfront in Dubai Maritime City, next to J1 Beach and the Maritime Beach and Yacht Club, with handover scheduled for December 2029 per the brochure.
Chelsea's published plan, costed on both sizes
The published schedule is the same for every Chelsea configuration: 20% at reservation, then 40 monthly instalments of 1% each from month 3 to month 42, followed by 40% at handover, with the 4% DLD fee sitting on top of the deposit rather than inside the 100%.
| Stage | Share | 2 bed, AED 3.13M | 3 bed, AED 4.94M |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reservation | 20% | AED 626,000 (≈ 170,500 USD) | AED 988,000 (≈ 269,000 USD) |
| Monthly instalment (months 3-42) | 1% each | ≈ AED 31,300 (≈ 8,500 USD) | ≈ AED 49,400 (≈ 13,450 USD) |
| Handover | 40% | AED 1,252,000 (≈ 340,900 USD) | AED 1,976,000 (≈ 538,050 USD) |
| DLD fee (on top) | 4% | AED 125,200 (≈ 34,100 USD) | AED 197,600 (≈ 53,800 USD) |
Add the reservation instalment to the DLD fee and the cash needed at signing comes to about AED 751,200 (≈ 204,500 USD) for the two-bedroom home, or about AED 1,185,600 (≈ 322,800 USD) for three bedrooms.
Converting to US dollars, not euros
The dirham is pegged at a fixed 1 USD = 3.6725 AED, so AED 3.13 million converts to a stable figure of about 852,300 USD, and AED 4.94 million to about 1,345,100 USD. The euro-dollar rate moves daily and Orven never fixes a euro conversion; take today's rate from your bank and apply it to the USD figures above if you are budgeting in euros.
Both prices clear the Golden Visa threshold
Both Chelsea starting prices in this band sit well above the AED 2 million mark that opens the door to a Golden Visa application, under conditions to confirm with the authorities. See our guide on the Golden Visa property threshold for how that generally works, and our guide on Dubai property purchase costs for what else typically sits alongside the DLD fee, such as agency and mortgage registration charges where they apply.

Larger apartments and penthouses on request
Several projects in the selection publish larger configurations that could land in or above this band once a price is released: Coastal Haven and Luxury Canal Residences up to three bedrooms plus penthouses, Hilton Residences up to three bedrooms plus penthouses, Golf Residences' two and three bedroom homes, Sobha SeaHaven and Sobha One's larger apartments, Ocean House on Palm Jumeirah, and The Meriva Collection on Dubai Islands. None of these has a published starting price, so Orven never estimates where they would sit; your adviser requests the current figure for the tower and configuration you want.
How the money is actually held
Every Chelsea instalment goes into an escrow account controlled by the Dubai Land Department, not directly to the developer, and progress can be checked through the DLD's Project Status Enquiry service. See our guide on how an escrow account works in Dubai for what that protection covers, and our guide on Dubai property prices in 2026 for how this band compares with the rest of the market.
