West is 18% cheaper than East
Al Jaddaf in our database: 12 lots, median AED 1.9 million at a price per square foot of AED 2,172.
East and West, buildings in the same complex, differ by 18% — the same gap we found looking at this project from the other side. It comes down to the mix of lots and each building's position relative to the creek.
Al Jaddaf lies between Healthcare City and Creek Harbour along Dubai Creek, and the eastern side is typically closer to the water.
You can't compare buildings by the complex name alone — check whether it's West or East and, if possible, which side of the building.
The propsearch property record: developer Ellington Properties, status 'under construction.' Our own stock as of 28 August 2026: the project's lot (floor area, price, price per square foot), data on Art Bay East, and the median and average for Al Jaddaf.

Handover payment
A mortgage covers the final instalment
The final payment on this building falls in 2026 — 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.
- Up to 80% of the appraised value, no extra down payment
- 3.99% fixed for three years, up to 25 years in term
- 6–12 months before the keys — the bank wants six months of income history
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.
