James Paul Booth
The agent's view
“Villa Del Garda is off-plan, due in 2028, so no owner has sold a completed home here yet. Buyers took 54 homes here in the 12 months to 20 Oct 2026, at about AED 4,064 per sq ft. Sales are slow. Ask for a better payment plan before you sign, and compare the price with a completed tower next door.”

Construction progress: not found

We found no public progress record for this tower. Ask the developer for the latest inspection report from the Land Department.

Payment plan: not found

We checked the pages we hold for this tower and found no payment plan that passed our checks. We do not guess one. Ask the developer for the current plan.

Resale and off-plan prices by bedroom

Resale = a completed home sold on. Off-plan = a home sold before the tower is complete, by the developer or by an earlier buyer (a Land Department "delayed sell"). The two are different markets, so we never mix them in one price. Sold = median price of sales in the 12 months to 20 Oct 2026. Asking and rent = live listings on 7 Oct 2026. Counts are in brackets. A sold median needs 10 sales, an advert median 3 adverts.

TypeOff-plan: soldOff-plan: per sq ftMedian asking

Sold prices: Land Department sale records to 20 Oct 2026, BUY DUBAI facts cube. Asking and rent are adverts, not contracts. 52 sales are hotel apartments and are marked in the list below.

Sales we leave out of every median, count and chart (0 of 52 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.

Too few off-plan sales to state a yearly change

Median AED 4,064 per sq ft in the 12 months to 20 Oct 2026 (54 off-plan sales). A yearly change needs at least 30 sales in each of the two 12-month periods.

Bars: median AED per sq ft by quarter. Blue line and blue numbers under the bars: number of sales in the quarter. Last 16 quarters at most; Land Department records, quarters with 10 or more sales. Off-plan sales are 100% of sales in the last 12 months, so the bars can mix launch and resale prices.

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

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.

The official record

Checked, not found. We could not match this tower to a building name in the Dubai Land Department register, so sales before 2020, offices, shops, mortgages and gifts are not shown.

Which side faces what

The direction of each landmark from Villa Del Garda, 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.

No resident reviews: the tower is not built

Nobody lives in Villa Del Garda yet, so there is nothing a resident can tell you. Reviews you see elsewhere under this name are about the sales office, the developer or another building. What we can show is below: what the developer and the documents say about the project. We add resident reviews after handover.

Where sources disagree

  • Handover: Propsearch, La Foret and Luxhabitat say Q1 2028, while dubai-islands.org and one social search results say Q4 2027, and one site search results says 4 March.
  • Unit count: Propsearch, La Foret, dubai-islands.org and Luxhabitat say about 135 units, while search results say 134 or 136, and one search results says 49 homes.
  • Payment plan: La Foret and dubai-islands.org say 35/65, Propsearch says 20/15/65 and Luxhabitat shows 20/15/65. These are equivalent, as 20+5+5+5=35, but are described differently.
  • Master area: Propsearch's transaction records place the project in Palm Deira, while the guides say Dubai Islands. The guide says Dubai Islands, Deira.

Building

Floors, apartments and completion year

Own a unit here?

Ask for a report on your unit: its sales history, the same type's sales in the last 12 months and the homes for sale against it. A licensed partner agent, named on the report with the registration number, sends it. BUY DUBAI is not a broker and takes no part in the sale.

Method, sources and what we did not find

  • Sales: unit-level Dubai Land Department sale records, 8 Apr 2026 to 19 Oct 2026, checked by year against Dubai Land Department open data. Our unit list does not hold every sale, so some sales are missing.
  • Listings: one snapshot, 7 Oct 2026. Asking prices and asking rents.
  • Residents and building facts: Google Maps reviews and guide pages (dubai-islands.org, laforet.ae, luxhabitat.ae, propsearch.ae, refty.ai), read by an AI model on 21 Oct 2026 with a fixed question list. A script checks that each answer names its source.
  • Nobody visited the tower. Every fact is from a document, a map or a resident's review.
  • Checked, not found for this tower: a Google Maps place, resident reviews, a floor plan document, unit positions on a floor, the side and view of each unit, a licensed photo.
