Mr. Eight Development: an off-plan villa on an island still being made

Layouts and the handover date come from the sales-launch announcement; the date of that announcement is shown next to the prices. It is what the developer claimed at launch, not a registry record — off-plan, phasing and dates get revised. I will send the current ones over WhatsApp.
Developer prices
The developer's last quote in our materials is dated 29 November 2025, which is more than 6 months old, so the sums are not shown here. I will send the current price list and availability over WhatsApp.

About the building
A residential building in Dubai Islands, currently under construction. Developer — Mr. Eight Development.
Specifications for Villa Del' Arte as published by the developer — the project is under construction, so there is no Land Department record yet. They describe the whole building, not the individual unit.
About the project
Villa Del' Arte is a residential building in Dubai Islands, handover is due Q4 2027.
The developer is Mr. Eight Development.
The building holds 64 apartments in total. Layouts, according to the sales-launch announcement — 1, 2, 3 and 4 bedrooms.
There is not a single lot in this project in the database right now — it is refreshed every night, and listings here appear and go.
Where it is
The pin is placed by district — I send the exact address on request.
Nothing in the stock for this project right now
The stock refreshes every night, and lots here appear and go. Message me — I will check the closed bases and suggest the nearest alternatives in Dubai Islands.
Ask about this project Handover payment
A mortgage covers the final instalment
The final payment on this building falls in 2027 — 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.
