Frequently asked questions

How well-connected is Arjan for daily commuting?
— Very well. With two major highways on its doorstep, Arjan gives straightforward access to DIFC, Business Bay, JLT and Dubai Marina — typically 15–20 minutes outside peak hours.

What’s the financial commitment before handover?
— Just 28% of the total price: 20% at booking and 8% twelve months later. The bulk of the payment — 72% — begins only after the apartment is handed over in 2026.

Is this apartment suitable as a rental investment?
— Arjan has a consistent rental market driven by families and working professionals attracted by its central location, proximity to retail and medical facilities. A one-bedroom apartment at 80 sq m is one of the most rentable unit types in this district.

Can I rent out the apartment while still paying the post-handover instalments?
— Yes. Once you receive the keys, you own the property and are free to lease it. Rental income can offset part of the monthly post-handover payments — effectively reducing your net outlay.

Does the floor level affect price or rental value?
— The towers reach 26 floors. Higher floors generally carry a price premium but offer better views and tend to command stronger rental rates, making them worth considering if yield optimisation is the priority.
