The launch release covers 357 homes in Verda, from 3-bedroom townhouses to 4-bedroom garden villas, alongside 60 villa plots on the waterfront and the beach for buyers who would rather build their own house.

These are averages, so the price of a specific home depends on its plot and position.
What is the payment plan?
For homes, 60/40: 20% down payment in October 2026, six instalments totalling 40% between March 2027 and April 2029, and 40% on handover in January 2031. Villa plots are different: 20% on booking and six instalments to September 2029, with nothing due at handover.

When will it be completed?
Nakheel estimates construction completion in January 2031.
Are pools and gardens included?
The plans and renders show pools and landscaping, but Nakheel's floor plan notes state that swimming pools and landscape features are not included and are the responsibility of the owner. We can help you plan and budget for them.

Two swimmable lagoons, a beach and beach club with a gym, pool, dining and a children's area, two pool clubhouses, community pools, sports courts, a yoga deck, a gym and café, kids' play areas, a retail plaza, a community mosque, a marina and a promenade.
Can foreign buyers purchase?
Dubai Islands is a freehold area, so foreign buyers can own here. Eligibility depends on your circumstances, so we confirm it with you before any booking.
Can buying here qualify for UAE residency?
Property worth AED 2 million or more can qualify an owner for a 10-year UAE Golden Visa under current rules. Conditions for off-plan purchases apply and change from time to time, so confirm eligibility before relying on it.
Can Bonum provide current prices and availability?
Yes. A Bonum advisor will send what is available, the price for the specific units or plots you are considering, and the floor plans.
