Altus

Altus is a residential tower by Emaar at Dubai Creek Harbour, currently under construction and scheduled for handover in January 2029. The building offers three-bedroom apartments across a single tower, with prices ranging from AED 3.99 million to AED 4.17 million.

# The tower and its position within Dubai Creek Harbour

Dubai Creek Harbour is one of Emaar's most ambitious district-scale projects, covering eight square kilometres of waterfront east of the historic creek. The master plan has reshaped this stretch of the shoreline over the past decade, drawing in retail, hospitality and residential development at a pace that has made it one of the more closely watched addresses in the city.

Altus sits within that broader framework as a single residential tower. At 31.1 per cent complete, the structure is past its early foundations and moving into its upper floors, which gives buyers purchasing now a reasonable sight line to the January 2029 delivery date. Construction is registered under escrow account 019000084000, in line with Dubai Land Department requirements.

The design incorporates architectural features intended to manage solar gain: tinted glazing, horizontal ledges and balcony projections that reduce direct sunlight into the interiors. Condensate and planter drainage is collected for landscape irrigation, contributing to lower operational water demand.

# Residences, layouts and finish

The available units are exclusively three-bedroom apartments. Sizes run from 1,596 sq ft to 1,927 sq ft, which places them comfortably within the mid-to-large range for the configuration in this part of the market. Three distinct floor-plan variants are offered at 1,596 sq ft (AED 3,991,888), 1,613 sq ft (AED 4,000,888) and 1,927 sq ft (AED 4,170,888).

Kitchens are fitted and equipped as standard. The rest of the residence is finished but unfurnished, allowing buyers to specify interiors to their own brief. Balconies are incorporated across the layouts, oriented to capture views across the creek district.

Service charges are projected at AED 20 to 22 per sq ft per year, a figure buyers should factor into total cost-of-ownership calculations alongside any financing arrangements.

# Amenities on site

The building includes a gym, swimming pool, kids pool and a dedicated play area for younger residents. A yoga area and a clubhouse provide additional communal space, and a multipurpose room extends the options for private functions or community use. The amenities platform consolidates several of these facilities onto a single level, a format that has become common in Emaar's newer towers.

The offering is functional rather than elaborate. For buyers prioritising space within the apartment over an extensive amenities package, that balance works in their favour.

# Creek Harbour, Creek Beach and the wider district

Creek Beach, Dubai's urban beach development, sits 2.5 kilometres from Altus, offering around 700 metres of sandy shoreline along the creek waterfront. Central Park is 3.4 kilometres away. Dubai Festival City Mall, which covers a broad retail, dining and cinema offer, is 5.6 kilometres from the tower.

Downtown Dubai is 12.8 kilometres by road, and Dubai International Airport sits 14.4 kilometres away. Both are reachable in under twenty minutes outside peak hours, and the airport proximity is a practical consideration for buyers who travel frequently or are purchasing primarily as an investment.

# Who this building suits and where it stands in the market

Altus is positioned squarely at the family-buyer segment: three-bedroom layouts only, a school-age amenities provision, and a district that has invested significantly in public waterfront space. The price bracket, between AED 3.99 million and AED 4.17 million, is firm but not at the ceiling of what Creek Harbour commands, which leaves room for capital appreciation as the district completes its remaining phases.

For international buyers, the Emaar covenant carries weight. The developer's track record in delivering within Dubai Creek Harbour is well established, and the escrow structure provides the statutory protections buyers expect. Those comparing Altus against ready stock elsewhere in the city will weigh the January 2029 wait against an entry price that reflects the construction timeline. At current completions, the building is far enough along that the delivery risk is materially lower than at launch stage.
