An Aqua Properties complex under construction in Arjan with 1,168 apartments and a tallest block of 31 storeys — two one-bedrooms in our stock.
What it is
The Central Downtown is a multi-building residential complex in Arjan, status "under construction". Developer: Aqua Properties; designed by Chawla Architectural & Consulting Engineers. 1,168 apartments in total; the tallest block has 31 storeys.
Per the passport the complex has a gym, spa and sauna, kids' area, shops, sports courts and a barbecue area.
Despite the word Downtown in the name, this is Arjan, not the city centre.
A thousand-plus units in an affordable district
Our stock has 2 one-bedrooms: 901 ft² for AED 1,144,700 at a 13% discount, and 850 ft² for AED 1,249,000. The larger flat is the cheaper one — that kind of spread within one complex is normal on off-plan resales.
Arjan in our database: 33 lots, median AED 1.1 million, AED 1,686/ft². It's one of the most affordable districts with new stock; Miracle Garden and Dubai Science Park are nearby.
1,168 apartments reaching the market at once is a big addition to supply in a district with many developers and no single master plan. On resale and in rental, your main competition will be your neighbours in the complex.

The final payment on this building falls in 2028 — under off-plan plans that is
40–60% of the price in one go. A UAE bank closes it: the flat becomes the security,
and nothing is added on top of what the developer has already been paid.
Up to 80% of the appraised value, no extra down payment
3.99% fixed for three years, up to 25 years in term
6–12 months before the keys — the bank wants six months of income history
Already been invoiced, or missed the date? That is not a dead end either — write and
we will look at what the developer will accept.
