Altan

Altan is a residential building by Emaar situated within Green Gate, a sub-district of Dubai Creek Harbour, offering one- to three-bedroom apartments and three-bedroom townhouses priced from AED 1.81 million. Scheduled for handover in July 2029, the project is currently under construction at approximately 7% completion, with 23 residences across a single building.

# The building and its position within Dubai Creek Harbour

Dubai Creek Harbour has been under active development by Emaar for several years and now constitutes one of the more carefully planned waterfront districts in the emirate, occupying roughly eight square kilometres along the historic creek. Green Gate sits within this broader masterplan, and Altan occupies a position that orientates residents toward the parkland and green corridors that distinguish this particular cluster from the denser, tower-heavy zones closer to the water's edge.

The scale here is deliberately restrained. Twenty-three units across one building produces a low-density character that is unusual for Emaar's Creek Harbour pipeline, where larger residential towers have dominated. That intimacy is part of the proposition.

# Residences, layouts and specification

The range spans one-bedroom apartments from 757 sq ft up to three-bedroom townhouses reaching 4,080 sq ft, giving the building an unusually broad mix of floor plate sizes. One-bedroom units start at AED 1.81 million; two-bedroom apartments are configured at either 1,435 or 1,453 sq ft and priced between AED 3.22 million and AED 3.29 million. The three-bedroom townhouses at 4,080 sq ft are priced at AED 6.95 million, representing the upper end of the building.

Residences are delivered semi-furnished. Kitchens carry stylish cabinetry with sleek worktops; bedrooms include custom-built wardrobes; bathrooms are fitted with quality vanities and fixtures. The townhouse typology brings private outdoor terraces into the equation, which, at this size, reads more as usable living space than decorative addition.

Service charges are set at AED 20 per sq ft annually.

# Amenities and communal facilities

The building's amenity provision is focused rather than exhaustive. A swimming pool and a dedicated kids' pool sit alongside a communal lawn, a kids' play area and a yoga deck. A multi-purpose zone covers more active uses. Park-facing townhouses effectively blur the line between private garden and shared green space.

The offering suits a resident who prioritises outdoor usability over a long list of facilities that rarely get used. There is no over-reach in the programme.

# Connectivity and the surrounding district

Dubai International Airport sits 7.8 km from the building, a practical consideration for internationally mobile buyers. Downtown Dubai is 12.2 km away, accessible by road in under twenty minutes in off-peak conditions. Dubai Festival City Mall, at 2.4 km, handles day-to-day retail and dining without requiring a long drive.

Maple Bear Nursery at Creek Harbour is 1 km from the site, which matters directly to families with young children. Nad Shamma Park is 6.6 km out; Jumeira Public Beach is 17.4 km, making it a considered excursion rather than a casual afternoon.

The airport proximity, in particular, tends to be underweighted by buyers focused on lifestyle imagery. For those who travel frequently for business, Creek Harbour's eastern position on the Dubai map is a material advantage over mid-city or marina locations.

# What Altan represents for the Creek Harbour buyer

The combination of low unit count, townhouse formats and park-facing orientation positions Altan toward buyers who have already looked at the larger Emaar towers in the district and found them too dense or too anonymous. The 4,080 sq ft townhouse at AED 6.95 million sits at a price point that competes with apartments of comparable size in Business Bay or Downtown, but with direct ground-floor access, private outdoor space and a significantly quieter building community.

For European and GCC buyers in particular, the semi-furnished specification and a July 2029 completion provide room to plan an interior programme without rushing. The early construction stage carries the usual caveats, but Emaar's track record of delivering Creek Harbour phases largely on schedule has reduced the scepticism that might otherwise accompany a project at 6.73% progress. For a buyer with a five-year horizon, the fundamentals are coherent.
