ONDA
ONDA is a KASCO Developments residential tower in Business Bay, Dubai. This guide is for buyers weighing an ONDA distress sale, below market or below original price listing, and covers the layouts, amenities and the Oqood and NOC checks to complete.
ONDA overview
ONDA is a residential tower by KASCO Developments in Business Bay, Dubai. KASCO's fact sheet and microsite present the project as a waterfront-inspired tower name rather than a beach address, so buyers should separate the branding from the actual Business Bay plot beside Dubai Canal corridors. KASCO's official ONDA site and project fact sheet place the building in Business Bay and present it as the developer's debut residential project in that district, with a name chosen to echo the nearby waterfront.
DPF places ONDA in the Business Bay community, which sits within the Business Bay area, in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The live listing breadcrumb ends at this building name. DPF does not yet have a KASCO developer page in the sitemap, so this draft names the developer without an internal developer link.
KASCO Developments and the building
KASCO Developments lists ONDA by KASCO on its corporate site and on the dedicated ONDA microsite. The project is off-plan, so resales are transfers of a sale and purchase agreement. KASCO's fact sheet gives an anticipated completion window; confirm the latest construction status with the developer before relying on any date in an advert.
Marketing uses ONDA, Onda and Onda by KASCO. DPF keeps the building name ONDA to match the listing breadcrumb.
Layouts
According to KASCO's ONDA fact sheet, the tower offers:
- Studio apartments
- One-bedroom plus apartments
- Two-bedroom apartments
- Two-bedroom plus apartments
- Three-bedroom apartments
Units are listed as unfurnished on the fact sheet. Confirm the exact plan and stack against the SPA and Oqood.
Amenities and the wider community
KASCO's ONDA fact sheet lists shared facilities including a wide leisure and wellness mix for a single tower. Treat brochure amenity lists as plans until KASCO confirms what is open at handover.
KASCO's ONDA fact sheet lists shared facilities including:
- Infinity and indoor swimming pools, plus a kids' pool
- A gym, outdoor fitness, yoga area, spa, sauna and steam room
- A wellness cafe and co-working space
- Outdoor seating, a running track and sunken pool seating
- A cold plunge room and changing rooms
Business Bay sits beside Dubai Canal with road links toward Downtown Dubai and DIFC. Ask which amenities are open at the construction stage you are buying into.
Finding distressed and below-market units in ONDA
An ONDA distress sale usually starts when a motivated seller wants to leave a Business Bay payment plan or recycle a deposit before handover. Below market or below original price wording on DPF is the seller's claim. DPF does not appraise apartments, so test any figure against the SPA and other canal-adjacent Business Bay assignments.
Before agreeing terms on a unit in ONDA, check:
- Title deed or Oqood: off-plan units normally remain on Oqood until handover.
- Payment plan status: ask KASCO for a statement that lists paid instalments and sums still due.
- Seller's outstanding balance: agree in writing how developer or bank arrears are settled at assignment.
- Developer NOC: KASCO's NOC is required before the registered buyer can change.
- DLD transfer: the Dubai Land Department updates the off-plan register; allocate fees in the contract.
- Service charges: ask when charges begin and which wellness amenities sit inside the draft budget.
An off-plan resale should use a RERA-registered agent. Because DPF has no KASCO developer page yet, rely on the official microsite, the fact sheet and written NOC correspondence rather than on an internal developer URL.

Use the Business Bay community page and the Business Bay area page to compare other canal-side and canal-adjacent listings near ONDA.
Canal views, DIFC access and construction noise are the practical points to test on site, because brochure travel minutes rarely match peak-hour Business Bay traffic.
