An eight-storey, 56-apartment Wadan building on Dubai Islands, under construction — a boutique format in an early-entry district.
Nuvana by Wadan is a mid-rise residential building on Dubai Islands: 8 storeys, 56 apartments, developer Wadan Real Estate Development. Status: under construction; no handover date in the passport.
Fifty-six flats is a small building: few neighbours, but also few resales, so prices will have to be benchmarked against other projects on the islands.
Dubai Islands in our database: 77 units, 55 under construction, median AED 5.5 million, AED 2,248/ft². The plan promises beaches, marinas and hotels; in reality only a small part is built.
The investment logic here is early entry with a long horizon. Aircraft noise on the approach path depends on the island and the building's orientation — check on site.
We have no units in this building in our database as of 21 September 2026.
Nuvana went on sale in September 2025 as the first UAE project by Saudi Arabia's Wadan Developments, whose track record includes World Cup stadiums and the Doha metro. Apartments come furnished, with Miele appliances and a smart-home system; two-bedrooms include a nanny's room.
The launch entry price was about AED 1.8 million ($490,000), with handover in Q3 2027. The plan: 20% on booking, 30% during construction and 50% on handover; resale is permitted once 30% has been paid.

What has been written about the building, its developer and Dubai Islands
Eight UAE megaprojects and what each means for property: Al Maktoum airport at 260m passengers, the 900 km Etihad Rail, Palm Jebel Ali with 90 km of coast, the Metro Blue Line, Dubai Islands, the $5.7bn Wynn resort, Saadiyat’s museums and Yas Island.
Nakheel has released Bay Estate, the first community on Island E of Dubai Islands: 357 townhouses and villas plus 60 plots around two swimmable lagoons. A three-bedroom townhouse averages AED 5.9m; handover is estimated for January 2031.
A 1 425 m bridge across Dubai Creek will link Dubai Islands directly to Bur Dubai: four lanes each way, 16 000 vehicles an hour, 18.5 m above the water. The AED 786m contract targets completion by the end of 2026. What the bridge changes for the islands and the old city.
CG Developers is building Dubai's first JW Marriott residence, priced from AED 1.72 million with a Q1 2028 handover. In parallel, Nakheel has awarded a AED 527 million contract for Island B's core infrastructure — roads, water and sewage for a future 49 000 homes.
A chain of reclaimed islands under a single government master plan. Almost no coastal land with direct beach access is left inside the emirate — and one or two new projects launch here every month. The opportunity and the risk are the same fact.
A developer building on the Dubai Islands. Between handover and the first tenant there is a list of connections and registrations, and every one of them needs someone on the ground.
A developer building on the Dubai Islands. The dirham’s peg to the dollar shapes the currency risk for every foreign buyer — and the transfer mechanics have costs of their own.
A developer building villas on the Dubai Islands. A house bought off-plan on new land combines two kinds of waiting, and they resolve on different timetables.
A developer with two projects on the Dubai Islands. Beach access is sold as a feature and defined as a legal arrangement — and the two are not always the same thing.
I will send the available layouts, the real entry price and what owners and tenants actually say about the building — without the brochure language.
