48 Parkside Arjan Dubai

48 Parkside is a 10-storey, 187-home building by Tabeer Developments in Arjan, the Al Barsha South 3 pocket of Dubailand, on a plot of about 30,000 sq ft. It holds studios and one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments, and the sources put it at or just past handover.

The starting price quoted across the portals is AED 875,000, about Rs 2.25 crore, with AED 860,000 and AED 1,070,000 also in circulation as the entry figure. Published unit prices run from roughly AED 937,000 for a one-bedroom to about AED 2.17 M for a three-bedroom. The source listing for this project carries no price.

At a glance

Price and unit pricing

Three different entry prices are quoted for this building, and the published unit table does not sit neatly under any of them. Here is everything the sources give:

The per-sq-ft column is the useful part, because it is consistent: every published layout works out between about AED 1,235 and AED 1,339 per sq ft, which is below the Arjan community average of roughly AED 1,355 and about a third under Dubai's January 2026 market-wide average of AED 1,976 on DLD transaction data. That consistency is a good sign — it means the price list was built from a rate, not made up per unit.

Two cautions on it. The unit prices are dated to June 2024 in the source that publishes them, so they are the launch list and not a current quote. And the AED 875,000 starting figure sits below the cheapest published one-bedroom, which means it is a studio price for a layout the size table does not include. Ask for the current price list with the studio sizes on it before you treat AED 875,000 as available.

Arjan's own stock covers a wide band. Samana Imperial Garden puts a private pool in every apartment and runs a plan up to 75 months, from AED 859,000. Green Diamond One is the ready option — 194 two and three-beds by Diamond Developers, finished in 2018, asking from AED 975,000. At the top, MAG's Marriott Executive Residences is branded and furnished, from about AED 2.0 M.

Payment plan and total cost

The plan on record is 10% on booking, 40% across construction and 50% on handover — a 50/50 structure. With handover at or just past the date on record, most of that is already due, so what you are really negotiating is a near-complete purchase. Worked on the AED 875,000 entry figure:

That service-charge range is the Arjan band, not this building's approved budget, which our sources do not publish. The spread matters more here than the headline price: the same rate difference between two otherwise identical Arjan studios moves net yield by more than a percentage point, so get the RERA-approved budget in writing before you sign. Final terms as per the SPA.

On income, Arjan studios and one-bedrooms are quoted at gross yields of 7% to 8.5% on DLD Rental Index and JLL Q1 2026 benchmarks, against 5.5% to 7.5% in Business Bay. Net sits 1.5 to 2 points below that once charges and management are paid.

Location and connectivity

Arjan sits in the Al Barsha South corridor of Dubailand, between Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311) and Umm Suqeim Road. Published drive times put Dubai Miracle Garden at about 10 minutes, Mall of the Emirates at about 15, Dubai Mall and Downtown at about 20, Dubai International Airport at about 20 and Dubai Marina at about 25.

There is no metro station in Arjan today. The nearest operational Red Line stops are Mall of the Emirates and Sharaf DG, both a drive rather than a walk. The Metro Blue Line, dated 2026 to 2027 in the sources, is expected to put a station roughly 8 to 10 minutes from the community — expected, not open, so do not pay a premium for it yet.

What Arjan does have is volume. Al Barsha South Fourth, Arjan's DLD zone, recorded 10,469 transactions in the first half of 2025, the highest of any area in the emirate. That is genuinely useful to a small investor: it means an exit here is a matter of price, not of finding the one buyer who wants your building.

Amenities and specifications

The building is quoted with an infinity pool, a gymnasium, landscaped green areas, children's play areas, a smart-home system and 24-hour security. That is the standard Arjan mid-market package; nothing here is unusual for the segment, and nothing is missing from it either.

Layouts are the stronger point. One-bedrooms of 734 to 942 sq ft and two-bedrooms of 1,215 to 1,327 sq ft are generous for the price band — a 942 sq ft one-bed is larger than a lot of two-beds sold in Arjan. On 187 units across ten floors that works out at roughly 19 homes a floor, which is dense, so ask which units face the parkside aspect the name is selling and which face the service side. Everything quoted is final as per the SPA.

About the developer

Tabeer Developments was founded in 2014 and has delivered three projects in Dubai: Dragon Views and Tabeer 1 in International City, and V2 in Dubai Sports City. 48 Parkside in Arjan and 99 Park Place in JVC are its current handovers, and Parkside Boulevard in Arjan, 165 units for late 2026, is next.

The company committed about AED 1 billion, roughly USD 272 million, of inventory to new launches in 2024, and its own material stresses timely delivery. Take that on its own terms: three delivered buildings over a decade is a real record but a small one, and none of them is in Arjan. This is not a developer whose name will carry your resale the way a large one would — the building will have to sell on its layouts and its price per sq ft. Ask for the completion certificate and the DLD escrow release history rather than relying on the marketing.

For Indian buyers

Arjan is freehold, so an Indian citizen can own here outright, in their own name, with a Dubai Land Department title deed. There is no annual property tax in Dubai; the recurring cost is the service charge, roughly AED 7,500 to 13,300 a year on a one-bedroom.

At AED 875,000 — about USD 238,000 — the whole purchase fits inside one person's Liberalised Remittance Scheme allowance of USD 250,000 per financial year, fees included if you are careful. That is the practical appeal of this price band: one remittance, one owner, one title deed, no structuring. Your bank will want the sale agreement and the DLD trustee details, and TCS applies above the current threshold.

What it does not buy is residency. The Golden Visa property route needs AED 2 M, and only the largest three-bedrooms here approach that. On tax at home, rent from Dubai is taxable in India for a resident at slab rates as income from house property, with the standard 30% deduction, and the asset is reported in Schedule FA of your return. The UAE takes nothing, so there is no foreign tax credit — on a 7% to 8.5% gross yield the Indian liability is what stands between that and your actual return.

Pros

• Published unit prices work out at about AED 1,235 to 1,339 per sq ft, below the Arjan average of roughly AED 1,355
• About a third below Dubai's January 2026 market-wide average of AED 1,976 per sq ft on DLD data
• Generous layouts — one-bedrooms to 942 sq ft and two-bedrooms to 1,327 sq ft
• At or just past handover, so the construction wait is over or nearly over
• Arjan studios and one-beds are quoted at 7% to 8.5% gross yield, against 5.5% to 7.5% in Business Bay
• The entry price fits inside one person's USD 250,000 annual LRS allowance
• Arjan's DLD zone recorded 10,469 transactions in H1 2025, the highest volume in the emirate — a liquid exit

Cons

• Three different entry prices are quoted: AED 860,000, AED 875,000 and AED 1,070,000
• The published unit prices are dated June 2024 and are a launch list, not a current quote
• Handover dates on record range from November 2025 to Q1 2026, with one outlier at May 2028
• Sources disagree on whether studios exist here at all — one lists 1 to 3 bedrooms only
• Tabeer has delivered three buildings in a decade and none of them in Arjan
• Roughly 19 homes a floor across 187 units and ten storeys is dense for the segment
• Nothing below the largest three-bedroom comes near the AED 2 M Golden Visa threshold
• No metro today; the Blue Line station is expected, not open

Who this is for

• Yield investors who want an Arjan entry inside one LRS allowance
• Buyers who value floor area per dirham over address
• End users who want a finished or nearly finished building rather than a three-year wait

Who should look elsewhere

• Anyone buying property to qualify for a Golden Visa
• Buyers who need a large developer's name behind the resale
• Investors who will not chase the current price list and the approved service-charge budget

Our verdict

48 Parkside is a sensible-looking building at a sensible rate, sold by a small developer with a thin record. The published price list is internally consistent at about AED 1,235 to 1,339 per sq ft, it undercuts the Arjan average, and the layouts are larger than the price band usually buys. Those are real reasons to look.

The reasons to be careful are all about information rather than the product. Three entry prices circulate, the unit list is dated to 2024, the handover date appears four different ways across the sources, and Tabeer has three delivered buildings in ten years. None of that is disqualifying, but all of it is checkable: ask for the current price list with studio sizes, the completion certificate, the RERA-approved service-charge budget and the escrow release history. If those four documents line up, this is a decent small-ticket Arjan buy. If the seller will not produce them, walk.

FAQs

What does an apartment at 48 Parkside cost?

The quoted starting price is AED 875,000, about Rs 2.25 crore, though AED 860,000 and AED 1,070,000 also circulate as the entry figure. On the published list, one-bedrooms run AED 937,176 to 1,191,710, two-bedrooms AED 1,542,291 to 1,776,853 and three-bedrooms AED 1,781,787 to 2,171,858. Those unit prices are dated June 2024, so ask for the current list.

How big are the apartments?

One-bedrooms are 734 to 942 sq ft, two-bedrooms 1,215 to 1,327 sq ft and three-bedrooms 1,443 to 1,622 sq ft. Studios are listed by some sources and not by others, and no source we checked gives a studio size — which matters, because the AED 875,000 entry price is below the cheapest published one-bedroom.

When is handover?

Q1 2026 is the most commonly printed date, and at least one source describes the building as ready for move-in. Others print November 2025, and one outlier says May 2028. The sources do not settle it, so ask for the building completion certificate before you pay anything.

What is the payment plan?

10% on booking, 40% across construction and 50% on handover. Add the 4% DLD transfer fee — AED 35,000 on AED 875,000 — and roughly AED 1,050 to 4,200 in Oqood or registration fees. With handover at hand most of the plan is already due. Final terms as per the SPA.

What yield does Arjan pay?

Studios and one-bedrooms in Arjan are quoted at 7% to 8.5% gross on DLD Rental Index and JLL Q1 2026 benchmarks, against 5.5% to 7.5% in Business Bay. Net sits 1.5 to 2 percentage points lower once service charges and management are paid.

What are the service charges?

Arjan buildings run about AED 10.17 to AED 18.15 per sq ft a year. On a 734 sq ft one-bedroom that is roughly AED 7,500 to 13,300. This building's approved budget is not published by the sources we checked, and the spread is wide enough to move net yield by more than a point — get the RERA-approved figure in writing.

Is there a DLD or RERA project number?

None of the sources we checked prints one. The project is registered with Dubai RERA and buyer payments go into a project escrow account released against verified construction milestones. Look it up on the Dubai REST app and confirm the escrow account before paying a booking amount.

Can an Indian citizen buy here, and does it give a Golden Visa?

Yes to the first. Arjan is freehold, so any nationality can own outright with a DLD title deed, and at about USD 238,000 the purchase fits inside one person's USD 250,000 LRS allowance for a financial year. It does not give a Golden Visa: that route needs AED 2 M of property, and only the largest three-bedroom here comes close.

Who is the developer?

Tabeer Developments, founded in 2014, with three delivered Dubai projects — Dragon Views and Tabeer 1 in International City and V2 in Dubai Sports City. It committed about AED 1 billion of inventory to launches in 2024 and has Parkside Boulevard, 165 units, due in Arjan in late 2026. A real record, but a small one, and none of it in Arjan.
