Al Barari: half the land given to greenery, and what that costs every year
A very low-density community built around planted landscape. Low density is the rarest product in Dubai — here is what it delivers, and the recurring cost that pays for it.

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.
A residential building in Al Barari, currently under construction.

The Cape is a residential building in Al Barari, handover is due Q4 2028.
The database has nothing for this project at the moment: lots come and go here, and it refreshes nightly.
Three buildings in Al Barari, a district where more than sixty percent of the area is green space. One-bedrooms here start at 109 square metres and $926,000 — the most spacious one-bedroom format among the projects covered in this series.
One-bedrooms from 109 m² start at $926,000, two-bedrooms from 168 m² at $1.326 million, three-bedrooms from 228 m² at $1.879 million, four-bedrooms from 351 m² at $3.213 million.
The price per square metre works out to roughly $8,500 for the one-bedroom and $9,200 for the four-bedroom. But the more interesting figure isn't the price per metre — it's the sizes themselves: 109 square metres for a single bedroom is twice a typical Dubai one-bedroom.
Sizes like this change the use case. This isn't a rental unit built for a quick payback — it's an apartment for living in, where a spacious living room matters more than the bedroom count.
More than sixty percent of the territory is green, with over five hundred plant species reportedly on site, plus lakes and streams. Building density is fundamentally lower here than in the city.
The flip side of a green district is upkeep. Landscaping on this scale is maintained at residents' expense, and the service charge in communities like this tends to run above the city average. It's worth requesting that figure separately.
The architecture is a nod to the gardenia flower. Amenities for residents include resort-style pools, a spa, coworking spaces, and rooftop lounges. Layouts are spacious, balconies are advertised with water and garden views, and interiors feature flowing lines and natural textures.
Selling-side launch materials: sizes, prices, payment schedule and community description. Price per square metre is our own calculation.
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 Al Barari.
Ask about this projectThe 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.
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.
Ask on WhatsAppThe developer's brochure says Q4 2028. The date in the contract for a particular unit can differ — I check it before the deal.
Al Barari. A botanical garden with villas inside it: more than 60% of the site is planting, density is deliberately low, and new releases are rare.
There are no open listings for this building in the database right now. I will check the price for a particular layout against the closed databases and send it with the deal costs worked out.
What has been written about the building, its developer and Al Barari
A very low-density community built around planted landscape. Low density is the rarest product in Dubai — here is what it delivers, and the recurring cost that pays for it.
More than 60% of the site is gardens and water, and one address contains three different products — Ixora, Chorisia and the Estate Villas, with medians from AED 8.55m to AED 41.75m. Why a single average for the community means nothing.
Across four prime communities 124 villas changed hands in the half against roughly 190 a year earlier — down about 35%. Median deal value rose in all four. Both facts are true, and neither means what the headline says.
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.
