Dubai International Financial Centre · Arada
Photos and renders of the building and grounds — not of this particular unit.
Layouts and the handover date come from the sales-launch announcement; the date of that announcement is shown next to the prices. It is what the developer claimed at launch, not a registry record — off-plan, phasing and dates get revised. I will send the current ones over WhatsApp.
These are the starting prices as of the date shown, not today's list: off-plan they are revised several times a year, and more often upwards than down.
Figures come from the developer's own materials sent to brokers, dated 31 August 2026. The commentary behind them is written up in the Russian version of this page.
Located in Dubai International Financial Centre, currently under construction. Developer — Arada.
Specifications for AKALA as published by the developer — the project is under construction, so there is no Land Department record yet. They describe the whole building, not the individual unit.
AKALA is a residential complex of several buildings in Dubai International Financial Centre, handover is due Q4 2029.
The developer is Arada.
Layouts, according to the sales-launch announcement — 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 bedrooms.
No lots from this project are in our database today. It is topped up every night, so listings for the building can turn up on any day.
An Arada project between Downtown and the financial centre: one-bedrooms from AED 3.8 million, a six-bedroom penthouse from AED 88 million. Handover at the end of 2029.
The complex sits literally between the city's two main hubs — Downtown and DIFC. It's a walk to the financial district's restaurant cluster.
For rental demand this is a rare combination: business function and evening life, both nearby. For price, the flip side: you pay a premium upfront for an address like this.
One-bedrooms, 1,036–1,407 sqft, from AED 3.8 million. Two-bedrooms, 1,556–2,091 sqft, from AED 6 million. Three-bedrooms, 2,587–3,665 sqft, from AED 12.3 million. Four- and five-bedrooms, 3,648–6,257 sqft, from AED 18.3 million. A six-bedroom penthouse, 23,673 sqft, from AED 88 million.
Payment plan is 60/40 with a 10% down payment; handover in Q4 2029.
Arada builds whole communities rather than standalone buildings. At launch, the company was called one of the market's most undervalued developers — pitched as an entry opportunity.
The word "undervalued" belongs to the selling side. What can actually be checked is the company's portfolio of completed projects, and it's substantial.
Sizes, starting prices, payment plan and handover date — launch materials, 10 June 2025. Developer characterisation — the selling side's own assessment.
The pin is placed by district — I send the exact address on request.
The stock refreshes every night, and lots here appear and go. Message me — I will check the closed bases and suggest the nearest alternatives in Dubai International Financial Centre.
Ask about this projectThe final payment on this building falls in 2029 — under off-plan plans that is 40–60% of the price in one go. A UAE bank closes it: the flat becomes the security, and nothing is added on top of what the developer has already been paid.
Already been invoiced, or missed the date? That is not a dead end either — write and we will look at what the developer will accept.

The sales-launch announcement says Q4 2029. The date in the contract for a particular unit can differ — I check it before the deal.
1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, 3-bedroom, 4-bedroom, 5-bedroom and 6-bedroom, according to the sales-launch announcement. Which sizes are actually free right now depends on what is on the market; I will send the current list.
DIFC. The financial free zone: English common law, its own courts, and the densest concentration of offices, art and restaurants in the city.
Our database has no open listings for AKALA at the moment. I will check the price of the layout you want against the closed databases and send it together with the deal costs.
What has been written about the building, its developer and Dubai International Financial Centre
The largest developer in Sharjah, now also building in Dubai. Where foreign ownership in Sharjah differs from freehold, what the emirate offers in exchange, and what to establish before buying.
I will tell you which layouts are available now, what entry really costs and what the people who live in or let the building think of it — no marketing language.
