Layouts and the handover date come from the developer's brochure in our archive. Prices and payment plans from the same source are deliberately not published: they are dated to when the brochure was issued and do not match today's prices. I will send the current ones over WhatsApp.

Developer prices

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.

About the building

A residential building in Al Marjan Island, currently under construction.

Specifications for Pelagia per Propsearch and the Dubai Land Department. They describe the whole building, not the individual unit.

About the project

Pelagia is a residential building in Al Marjan Island, handover is due Q4 2027.

The database currently holds 3 lots in this project, from 1 400 000 AED; 1 of them priced below the market, the deepest discount 57%.

A 15-storey complex on Al Marjan designed to vastu principles. Fully furnished, balcony pools on some units, eight minutes from the Wynn casino under construction.

Vastu in the layouts

Vastu is an Indian tradition of spatial organisation: room orientation to the compass points, and the placement of the entrance, kitchen and bedrooms relative to each other.

The practical significance for a buyer is twofold. First, there's a specific target audience: the Indian diaspora is the largest group of foreign property buyers in the UAE, and layouts like this are an argument aimed at them. Second, compass orientation affects how much an apartment heats up regardless of the tradition behind it.

On resale, this narrow specialisation cuts both ways: the pool of buyers is focused, but noticeably smaller too.

What's for sale

Apartments, penthouses and retail units. All units have large balconies; some two- and three-bedrooms, plus the penthouses, have balconies running the full perimeter with their own pools.

A perimeter balcony in a hot climate also shades the facade: the walls heat up less and the air conditioning runs more efficiently.

The island and the casino

The Al Marjan market is running hot on the expectation of the UAE's first gaming resort opening. That expectation is already in the price — check the current opening date before counting on tourist-flow returns.

A two-year post-handover instalment plan is stated.

Selling-side materials at launch: storey count, layout concept, specification and instalment terms.

Handover payment

A mortgage covers the final instalment

The final payment on this building falls in 2027 — 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.
