  • 1-Bedroom Apartments (680 – 780 sq.ft.): Starting from AED 1,650,000 (as of August 2026, indicative — verify with developer)

When selecting your unit off-plan, prioritize mid-to-high floor units with unobstructed golf views, as these historically command a 12% to 18% resale premium over park-facing units upon completion.

Flexible Payment Plan Structure & Schedule

Emaar has introduced a structured 80/20 construction-linked payment plan for On The Golf residences. Buyers typically submit a 10% booking down payment, followed by 70% paid in phased installments tied to verifiable construction milestones over the build period.

The final 20% balance is payable upon physical handover and key handover. This installment structure enables buyers and investors to manage cash flow effectively during construction without incurring immediate full capital outlay.

For buyers tracking newly launched projects across the emirate, checking our updated off-plan tracker provides valuable comparisons across developers.

  • 10% Down Payment at booking (plus 4% DLD fee)

  • 70% Phased Installments during construction (linked to build progress)

  • 20% Final Installment upon hand-over and project completion

  • Indicative payment structure — verify exact installment dates with Emaar sales

RERA Escrow Account & Buyer Safeguards

Under UAE real estate regulations, all buyer payments for off-plan units at On The Golf are deposited directly into a project-specific Escrow account monitored by the Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA). Developer withdrawals are strictly released based on audited construction progress.

Furthermore, buyers receive an Oqood registration certificate issued by the Dubai Land Department (DLD), securing their legal title to the off-plan asset until full title deed transfer upon completion.

To understand broader investor protections across Dubai and Abu Dhabi developments, reviewing detailed legal guides on off-plan property laws is strongly recommended.

Investment Outlook & Projected Yield Analysis

Golf course communities developed by Emaar have historically shown high capital appreciation and strong rental demand among expatriate executives. Estimated gross rental yields for 1 and 2-bedroom units in completed Emaar golf developments average between 6.2% and 7.1% as of August 2026 (indicative — verify with developer/bank).

While off-plan appreciation potential remains attractive due to entry-phase pricing, investors should evaluate long-term market trends. Past performance does not guarantee future capital growth or rental income, and returns can never be guaranteed.
