What kind of building this is

The Cove is a multi-block Emaar residential complex on Creek Island, completed in 2021, architecture by Holfords Associates; confirmed amenities include restaurants.

The complex sits right on the water of the bay, and its name reflects the location: a small cove within the island. It's one of the first residential phases of Dubai Creek Harbour.

Our nine lots are one- to three-bedroom apartments with floor areas from 1,206 to 1,840 square feet, all ready.

What the numbers show

Prices run from AED 1.54 to 4.5 million at an average price per square foot of around AED 2,409. That's the most affordable level among Creek Island buildings in our sample: the neighbouring Palace Residences is priced at AED 2,912, Palace Residences North at AED 2,809.

The difference comes down to handover year and brand line: The Cove isn't one of Emaar's premium brands and was handed over earlier than its neighbours. For a buyer, it's an entry point onto the island at the lower end.

Six of the nine lots carry a discount, with an average markdown of 4.8%. Modest negotiation on partial coverage is a sign that buyers are found for these lots.

What to factor in

First — the smallest floor area in the sample is 1,206 feet for a one-bedroom format. These are large one-bedrooms, and they rent for more than compact ones, but their yield per square foot is lower.

Second — view. Some apartments face the water of the bay, others face the island's internal development. On a completed market this is checked by viewing, and it should be.

Third — transport. A limited number of exits from the island is a factor common to every Creek Island address, and it affects the rental rate.

The propsearch property passport (development type, developer, architect, district, completion year, amenities) and our own stock as of 28 August 2026: 9 lots — the price range, floor areas, price per square foot, bedroom mix, readiness status, the number of discounted lots and the average discount.

They were about to pay the final instalment out of their own pocket. Then they learned a bank covers it, and changed their minds.

On this building the bank approved 70% financing.
