Project factsheet

Status Under construction
District Al Marjan Island
Handover Q4 2028

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.

About the building

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

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

About the project

The Astera is a residential building in Al Marjan Island, handover is due Q4 2028.

The database currently holds 1 lot in this project, from 1 500 000 AED; 1 of them priced below the market, the deepest discount 18%.

Aston Martin residences on Al Marjan in Ras Al Khaimah — with the world's first rooftop villa from a car brand: a terrace with its own pool and a 360-degree view. Five minutes from the Wynn casino under construction.

Formats

Apartments, villas and a duplex penthouse. The top lot is a rooftop villa with a private pool and a full panoramic view.

Branded finishes: leather, polished metals, exotic wood species. Direct beach access.

A car brand in real estate

Partnerships like this mean the brand is involved in designing interiors and common areas, but not in construction. The developer is who's accountable for the building, and that's who to look at.

The name premium in branded residences typically runs from twenty to forty percent. It's justified either by genuine build quality, or by the name holding the price on resale — and the second only proves out over years.

The island and the casino

Wynn Al Marjan is the UAE's first licensed gaming resort, and the island's market is running hot on the expectation of its opening.

The upside is obvious: tourist flow at this scale lifts short-term rental. The risk is that the expectation is already in the price, and the opening date has shifted more than once — check the current stage before running a return calculation.

Launch and scale

The Astera went on sale in June 2024: 260 units in a project valued at about AED 900 million ($245 million). Entry at launch was from roughly AED 1.8 million ($490,000), with handover in Q4 2028.

Announced amenities include private beach access, a landscaped sea-view pool, a cinema and a gym.

Handover payment

A mortgage covers the final instalment

The final payment on this building falls in 2028 — 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.
