Mr. Eight Development: an off-plan villa on an island still being made
A developer building villas on the Dubai Islands. A house bought off-plan on new land combines two kinds of waiting, and they resolve on different timetables.

Layouts and the handover date come from the sales-launch announcement; the date of that announcement is shown next to the prices. It is what the developer claimed at launch, not a registry record — off-plan, phasing and dates get revised. I will send the current ones over WhatsApp.

About the building
46-storey mixed-use complex in DubaiLand Residence Complex. Developer — Mr. Eight Development.
Specifications for The WOW Business Tower as published by the developer — the project is under construction, so there is no Land Department record yet. They describe the whole building, not the individual unit.
About the project
The WOW Business Tower is a 46-storey mixed-use complex in DubaiLand Residence Complex, handover is due Q3 2029.
The developer is Mr. Eight Development.
No lots from this project are in our database today. It is topped up every night, so listings for the building can turn up on any day.
A 46-storey tower in Dubai Land Residence Complex: office units from 94 m² and whole floors, an average price at launch of around AED 2,033/ft², handover in Q3 2029.
The tallest building in the district
DLRC is built up with low-rise housing, and a 46-storey tower here becomes a landmark — with all the pros and cons that come with it. The upside: 360-degree views that nothing nearby will ever block. The downside: the building sits in an environment with no surrounding office cluster, and it will have to generate its own demand.
The tower's layout: floors one through fifteen hold Business Suites, the sixteenth is an open lounge for residents, five underground parking levels, and the ground floor is given over to retail and the main lobby.
The project has picked up industry awards from Luxury Lifestyle Awards and Dubai Property Awards. Awards of this kind are a marketing fact, not a property characteristic — treat them purely as name recognition.
The numbers, and a legal detail that matters more than the view
Launch prices: office units from 94 m² (1,012 ft²) start at AED 2,025,000; a whole office floor from 3,768 m² (40,563 ft²) starts at AED 82,757,000. The average price works out to around AED 2,033/ft². Payment plan: 35/65.
All offices are handed over shell and core, with efficiency (usable area) stated at up to 93%. Fit-out is a separate budget item for the buyer, and in projects with a high efficiency ratio it usually ends up higher than expected — there's simply more floor area to fit out.
The licensing side deserves separate attention. Company registration here runs through a Dubai mainland licence (DET), not through a free zone as in neighbouring Dubai Silicon Oasis. For a tenant that means a wider range of permitted business activities and the ability to work with the local market without an intermediary — arguably the project's strongest argument after price.

How many deals this location is doing
4.7% of the month's registrations in Dubai
That is the share of every off-plan deal in the emirate for the month that went to Dubailand Residence Complex — out of 9 475 registrations. For scale: off-plan accounts for 72.8% of the market as a whole, so the bulk of the city's turnover runs through construction rather than through finished homes.
🔴 This is a figure for the location, not for this building. A cluster holds dozens of towers with different handover dates and prices, and a high share means there is a lot of supply here and a lot of deals — not that this particular tower sells better than its neighbour. On a resale that cuts both ways: liquidity is higher, but so is the number of flats competing with yours.

Ask about this project Handover payment
A mortgage covers the final instalment
The final payment on this building falls in 2029 — 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.

Who is the developer of The WOW Business Tower?
Mr. Eight Development.

Dubailand. Not one district but a vast planned region covering much of inland Dubai — a name that means very little without a sub-community attached.
