Important Note on Handover Timeline

The seller has indicated a handover of Q3 2027 for this unit. However, published developer and third-party sources indicate that Altus at Dubai Creek Harbour's estimated handover is Q1 2028 to Q1 2029 — later than the seller's stated date. Buyers are strongly advised to verify the current expected handover timeline directly with Emaar Properties as part of due diligence before entering into any resale transaction for this unit. The handover date presented in this listing reflects the seller's stated information; the actual delivery schedule may differ.

AED 278,000 Below Original Price — Understanding This Distress

• Original purchase price: AED 1,840,000
• Current selling price: AED 1,562,000
• The reduction: AED 278,000, or approximately 15.1% below the original price
• Context: Altus 1-bedroom units were launched from AED 1,600,000 — this unit's original price of AED 1,840,000 reflects any post-launch escalation and the premium typically associated with a high floor and the 02 series unit type designation within the tower. The selling price of AED 1,562,000 is below even the project's published launch starting price, meaning the buyer acquires a high-floor 02 series unit at below-launch-pricing
• At AED 2,145/sq.ft, this is a competitive rate for a 1-bedroom in Emaar's Dubai Creek Harbour portfolio — in a community where comparable sales are being registered at materially higher rates as the masterplan matures
• Buyers are encouraged to verify the original purchase price and current payment plan status as part of standard due diligence

02 Series — What the Unit Type Designation Means

Within Altus Tower 1's floor plan grid, the 02 series identifies this unit's specific layout configuration within the tower's 1-bedroom range:

• Series designation — residential towers typically use a unit numbering system where the series or stack number (02 in this case) identifies the position and layout type of the unit within each floor plate, differentiating it from other 1-bedroom configurations (01 series, 03 series, etc.) that may have different orientations, window placement, or internal layouts
• Buyer relevance — the 02 series designation allows a buyer who has researched Altus Tower 1's floor plans to identify the specific layout and view orientation of this unit, confirming whether the view orientation, bedroom placement, and living area configuration match their preference
• Detailed floor plan for this 02 series unit available on request

High Floor in Tower 1 — Position and View Advantage

Altus Tower 1 has 20 residential floors (above the ground floor and two podium levels). A high floor position delivers meaningful advantages:

• View from the front — Altus Tower 1 is positioned facing the 11,760 sqm central park, with partial canal and Creek views beyond. On a high floor, this view is captured at its fullest, above rooflines and podium landscaping, delivering open park and waterway sightlines
• View from the back — rear-facing units in Altus look towards the planned Dubai Creek Tower (designed to surpass the Burj Khalifa) and the wider community, giving back-facing high-floor units a future landmark skyline view as the masterplan develops
• Height advantage in a mid-rise context — in a 20-floor residential tower, high floors experience meaningfully less ambient noise from the podium and ground-level activity, and receive more consistent natural light, than lower and mid-level floors
• Resale and rental premium — high floor units in established Dubai Creek Harbour developments consistently command a premium over lower-floor equivalents

728 sq.ft (67.71 sqm) — A Practical, Well-Proportioned 1-Bedroom

• At 728 sq.ft, this unit sits within the published range for Altus's 1-bedroom apartments (665–906 sq.ft across the two towers), above the entry-level minimum size and well-proportioned for single or couple occupation
• The 67.71 sqm internal footprint is a standard Dubai Creek Harbour 1-bedroom configuration — supporting a comfortable living and dining arrangement, a full bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, laundry area, and balcony

Altus Tower 1 — Location Within the Masterplan

Tower 1 of Altus is specifically positioned with exceptional proximity advantages within the Dubai Creek Harbour masterplan:

• Adjacent to 11,760 sqm central park — residents of Altus Tower 1 are directly next to one of the community's signature green spaces, a park that provides daily outdoor access without requiring a car or a significant walk
• 4-minute walk to metro — Altus is positioned next to one of the four metro stations planned within Dubai Creek Harbour, one of the community's most practically valuable attributes. A four-minute walk to metro connectivity eliminates car dependency for most daily journeys across Dubai's transit network
• 120 metres beach nearby — Creek Beach, a 700-metre white sand beach within Dubai Creek Harbour, is accessible through the park — a short walk rather than a drive. This makes the beach a casual daily-use amenity rather than an occasional destination
• Adjacent to Oria development — Altus is positioned next to Oria, another established Emaar development within the community, placing it in the more mature, established residential zone of Dubai Creek Harbour
• RTA ferry terminal proximity — a water taxi service connecting Dubai Creek Harbour directly to Downtown Dubai, providing an alternative and scenic commuting option
