Payment plan: 10/40/50 or 20/30/50 or 60/40
How the developer asks you to pay for a home bought off-plan. The median off-plan price here in the last 12 months is AED 500,000 (Land Department records); each share applies to your own price. Handover stated: Q2 2028
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.
Plan 1: 10/40/50
| Stage | Share | When |
|---|---|---|
| On booking | 10% | at booking (down payment) |
| During construction | 40% | in easy installments during construction |
| On handover | 50% | on 100% completion |
Source text: “10% downpayment. The rest of the amount needs to be paid in two phases, 40% during construction and the final 50% on completion which is expected to be Q2 2028.” (topultraluxury.com)
Plan 2: 20/30/50
| Stage | Share | When |
|---|---|---|
| On booking | 20% | at booking |
| During construction | 30% | regular installments over 24 months |
| Upon handover | 50% | at handover |
Source text: “20% on booking, 30% during construction (regular installments 24 months), 50% upon handover, worked in dirhams on AED 548K in the table above.” (equityedge.ae)
Plan 3: 60/40
| Stage | Share | When |
|---|---|---|
| During construction | 60% | during the construction phase |
| On handover | 40% | upon handover of the property |
Source text: “The project was launched with an installment plan allowing investors to pay 60% during the construction phase and 40% upon handover of the property.” (propsearch.ae)
Read on 11 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. Three sources give three different plans (10/40/50, 20/30/50, 60/40), and source 1 is internally inconsistent (its headline says 'Book at Just 20%' but its plan table says 10% down), so confirm the current plan with the developer before committing; the 4% DLD registration fee is payable on top (source 2).
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.
| Type | Off-plan: sold | Off-plan: per sq ft | Median asking |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | AED 497,844 (18) | 1,727 | – (1) |
| 1-bed | – (under 10) | – | – (1) |
Sold prices: Land Department sale records to 20 Oct 2026, BUY DUBAI facts cube. Asking and rent are adverts, not contracts.
Sales we leave out of every median, count and chart (0 of 27 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 1,727 per sq ft in the 12 months to 20 Oct 2026 (21 off-plan sales). A yearly change needs at least 30 sales in each of the two 12-month periods.
Too few quarters with sales to draw a chart.
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.
Every sale since 2025: 27 sales of 27 units
Newest first. Each sale is marked Resale or Off-plan. The last column shows the change from the same unit's sale before.

Mortgage: what Celestara Residences costs a month

Parking and driving at Celestara Residences

- Spaces in the building: 153, from the published building details.
- Street parking: paid street parking in JVC costs AED 4 an hour from 8am to 5pm and AED 6 an hour from 5pm to midnight. Zones and rules.
- This building is not finished. Adverts repeat what the developer promises.
Source: adverts for homes in this building, read 6 to 11 Oct 2026. An advert describes one home, not the building. Parking in every JVC building.

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, 10 Sep 2025 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 (binayah.com, equityedge.ae, live adverts: community guide, propsearch.ae, topultraluxury.com), 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: resident reviews, a floor plan document, unit positions on a floor, the side and view of each unit.
