Construction: topped out

Status on the SkyscraperCity forum: topped out, 20 floors. Last post in the thread: 15 Apr 2026. Post 15 shows a distant view of a gray concrete tower with scaffolding and a crane in a cluster of buildings, but it is not clearly this tower, so the newest clear view is post 13: a concrete-frame tower with balconies and red edge protection, an upper-floor formwork deck, and a tower crane alongside.

Payment plan: 10/35/20/35 or 10/30/10/50

How the developer asks you to pay for a home bought off-plan. The amounts use AED 1,963,078, the median off-plan price in the last year. Handover stated: Q2 2026 (15 June 2026 per sources 4 and 5; June 2026 per source 2)

The sources do not agree. We show each plan we found. Ask the developer for the plan in force today before you pay a booking fee.

Read on 9 Oct 2026 from broker and developer pages. A script checked that each plan adds to 100% and that the words are in the source. Plans change: the sale contract is the only binding version. On top of the price you pay the 4% Land Department fee and the registration fees. Four sources give 10/35/20/35 (36 months post-handover per source 2), but sources 3 and 6 show different splits, so confirm the current plan with the developer; the stated Q2 2026 handover is imminent or may have passed, so check construction status first.

Resale and off-plan prices by bedroom

Resale = a completed home sold on. Off-plan = a home sold before the tower is complete, in most cases by the developer. The two are different markets, so we never mix them in one price. Sold = median price of sales in the 12 months to 14 Oct 2026. Asking and rent = live listings on 7 Oct 2026. Counts are in brackets. A median needs 5 sales or 3 listings.

Rents are asking rents, not registered contracts. Yield = asking rent divided by the median resale price, before service charge.

Sales we leave out of every median, count and chart (0 of 113 here): bulk transfers, meaning 5 or more completed homes sold within two days at prices per sq ft within 25% of each other (0); a sale at exactly the same price as that unit's sale before (0); a size more than 1.6 times the usual size for the recorded type, or a "studio" above 750 sq ft (0). They stay in the list below with a label.

Off-plan price per sq ft rose 4% in a year

Median AED 2,226 per sq ft in the last 12 months (79 off-plan sales) against AED 2,136 in the 12 months before (34 off-plan sales).

Every sale since 2024: 113 sales of 113 units

Newest first. Each sale is marked Resale or Off-plan. The last column shows the change from the same unit's sale before.

Sellers ask 1% more than buyers paid

11 homes are for sale in Urban Life. The median advert asks 1% more per sq ft than the median off-plan sale of the same type in the last 12 months. 5 of 11 adverts ask the sold level or less. The median advert has been listed for 74 days; the oldest for 182 days.

Adverts: one reading on 7 Oct 2026. Sold prices: off-plan sales in this tower in the last 12 months, 5 or more of the type. An advert has no unit number, so we compare the price per sq ft with the type, not with the same unit. An asking price is not a sale price. Days listed is from the date on the advert: an agent can place a home again as a new advert, so the real time for sale can be longer. 1 adverts have the same type, size and price as another advert: they are probably the same home with a second agent. We cannot show price cuts over time or the time to sell yet: these need more than one reading.

Mortgage: what Urban Life costs a month

The tower is off-plan. A bank can lend at most 50% of the price of an off-plan home, and most buyers use the loan for the payment at handover. The rate starts at 3.99%, the most common 3-year fixed rate in two bank comparison lists dated 5 October 2026. Fixed rates in those lists run from 3.75% to 4.69%. Three-month EIBOR, the base for variable rates, was 4.19% on 9 Oct 2026.

The official record: 66 registered sales since 2024

Dubai Land Department register for "Urban Life", 28 Nov 2024 to 12 Feb 2026: 66 apartment sales. This source has every year and every unit type, but no unit numbers.

Median AED per sq ft is shown for 3 or more sales in a year. 66 of these sales were off-plan and 0 were of completed units. What our unit list above does not have: sales before 2020; mortgages and gifts. For homes from 2020 to 12 Feb 2026 the register has 66 sales and our unit list has 66.

Which side faces what

The direction of each landmark from Urban Life, and the towers within 150 m that can stand in the way. What a home really sees depends on its floor and its side of the building. We do not have the unit positions for this tower yet, so we cannot tell you the view of one unit.

Floor plans: where to see them

No resident reviews: the tower is not built

The project: what the developer and the documents say

The tower is not complete, so these are plans and claims, not facts you can check on site. Each one names its source.
