Cedar

Cedar is a completed residential development by Emaar, situated within Dubai Creek Harbour on the eastern edge of the city. The project comprises four buildings and a small collection of ten remaining homes, ranging from one- to three-bedroom apartments, currently available for purchase.

# The buildings and their position in Dubai Creek Harbour

Dubai Creek Harbour is one of Emaar's most ambitious master-planned districts, occupying a large waterfront site along the historic Creek corridor. Cedar sits within this broader community as a lower-rise, neighbourhood-scaled proposition, its four buildings arranged to face landscaped open space rather than competing to maximise height.

The architecture reads as contemporary residential rather than statement-making. Clean elevations, controlled massing, and an orientation that draws on the park views to the east. Within a district that also contains the future Dubai Creek Tower, Cedar occupies a quieter corner of the masterplan, which is likely part of the appeal for buyers seeking residential calm over spectacle.

Construction is complete at 100 per cent readiness, with an official handover registered for July 2026. Buyers enter a finished building, not a promise.

# Residences, layouts and finish

The available units run from 658 sq ft for a one-bedroom up to 1,691 sq ft for the larger three-bedroom configuration. Two distinct three-bedroom formats exist: one at 1,476 sq ft priced from AED 3,784,888 and a larger variant at 1,691 sq ft ranging from AED 4,358,888 to AED 4,391,888. Two-bedroom apartments sit at 1,015 sq ft from AED 2,603,888.

All residences are semi-furnished and include private balcony or terrace space. The orientation towards the park provides natural light without relying solely on skyline or water views. Service charges run at 22–23 AED per sq ft per annum, a figure buyers should factor into return modelling or holding cost calculations.

The semi-furnished specification means buyers can personalise interior fit-out without starting from a bare shell, a useful middle ground for both owner-occupiers and investors.

# Amenities scaled to a residential community

Cedar's shared facilities are suited to family occupation rather than resort-style excess.

The amenity roster includes a large family pool with an adjacent pool deck, a separate children's pool and splash pad, a kids' play area, a gym, landscaped outdoor seating, and a communal co-working space. This is a legible, practical set of amenities, nothing superfluous, nothing missing for a family or professional household.

The co-working space is a considered addition. Creek Harbour continues to attract buyers who split time between Dubai and other cities, and the ability to work from a well-equipped communal space without commuting adds functional value to the address.

# Connections to the rest of the city

Downtown Dubai is approximately 12 km away, reachable in around fifteen minutes by car under normal conditions. Dubai Festival City Mall sits 5.6 km distant, an eleven-minute drive. Dubai Creek Harbour Park is closer still, at 3.2 km or roughly five minutes.

Deira International School is 6.7 km away, making Cedar a viable address for families with school-age children. Jumeira Public Beach is the longest reach at 16.9 km, around twenty-four minutes.

The district's connectivity to Sheikh Zayed Road and the broader Emirates Road network keeps the airport and central business corridors accessible without placing Cedar in the traffic-dense core of the city.

# A completed asset in a maturing masterplan

Cedar suits a specific buyer profile: someone who wants a finished, deliverable property in a district that is still appreciating as infrastructure and retail mature around it. The combination of completion, Emaar's developer covenant, and Creek Harbour's continued build-out creates a straightforward hold-or-occupy case.

For investors, the service charge is measurable, the units are semi-furnished, and the scale of the remaining inventory is small enough that price discovery is relatively tight. For owner-occupiers, particularly families relocating from the UK, Europe or the GCC, the amenity mix and school proximity carry practical weight.

Creek Harbour is no longer speculative territory. Cedar, already built, sits inside a district that has moved from vision to visible neighbourhood.
