Cotier House 2 Dubai Islands Dubai

Cotier House 2 is the second phase of Imtiaz's marina-front Cotier House on Dubai Islands: 13 floors over a ground floor and two parking levels, with 1, 2 and 3 BHK apartments, 3 and 4 BHK duplexes, 3 BHK townhouses and penthouses up to about 4,998 sq ft, on a 20/40/40 plan. The source listing shows it from AED 3.23 M, about Rs 8.32 Cr at 25.75 rupees to the dirham; the developer's page and the portals print the 1 BHK from AED 2,076,000.

Two prices and two handover dates are in print, and the entry-unit area is not, so this page is as much about what to ask as what is known. It works the entry unit through the plan and fees, prints the conflicts, and sets out the Indian-buyer case. See all Dubai projects we track for the rest of the islands.

Price and unit pricing

For context, Dubai Islands off-plan apartments averaged about AED 2,340 per sq ft by mid-2025, and phase one's 1 BHK of about 900 sq ft is printed at AED 2.4 M by the developer, about AED 2,660 per sq ft. If the phase-two 1 BHK is a similar size, AED 2,076,000 would be about AED 2,300 per sq ft, in line with the islands, and AED 3.23 M would be about AED 3,600, well above them. The price sheet with areas settles it, and it is the first document to ask for.

Payment plan and total cost

The plan is 20 per cent on booking, 40 per cent during construction and 40 per cent on handover, described by the developer as seven steps with nothing due after the keys. Worked on the listed figure:

At the developer's AED 2,076,000 the total with fees is about AED 2.16 M. No agency commission applies on a developer sale. Final as per the SPA.

Handover: two dates

The developer's page and the portals give April 2027; the source listing gives December 2027. Eight months is a long gap for a project of this size and usually means one source is carrying the DLD's registered completion date and the other the developer's target. Ask which is which. Phase one is due in Q1 2027, so you will be able to walk a finished Cotier House unit before your own handover, which is worth more than any render.

Location and connectivity

The building faces the Dubai Islands marina, beside phase one. The islands sit off Deira, linked by the Infinity Bridge: the Gold Souk is about ten minutes by car, Dubai International Airport 15 to 20, Dubai Creek Harbour about 15 and Downtown 20 to 25. The beaches are a few minutes away. Dubai Islands Mall, the metro link and most of the promenade and resort programme are still under construction through 2027 and beyond.

Amenities and specifications

Quoted amenities are an infinity pool, a fitness centre, jacuzzis, a sauna and steam room, a clubhouse and children's areas. Apartments have fitted kitchens, built-in wardrobes and balconies; the duplexes, townhouses and penthouses have two floors or terraces. Final as per the SPA.

About the developer

Imtiaz Developments has more than 40 active projects and a pipeline above AED 10 billion. It reports more than 2,000 units delivered, six handovers in 2025 and ten scheduled for 2026, with Pearl House II in JVC three months early and Westwood Grande two months early, and one tracker puts its on-time rate at 100 per cent. It made the first residential handover on Dubai Islands with Beach Walk Residences. With Beach Walk Grand, Sunset Bay and both Cotier House phases under way here, Imtiaz will be the islands' largest landlord-maker in 2026 and 2027, which supports delivery and weighs on rents.

For overseas buyers

Any nationality. Dubai's designated freehold areas are open to buyers of every nationality, resident or not: no local partner, no residence visa needed in order to buy, and the Land Department issues the title deed in your own name. On the AED 3.23 million entry price the 4% Dubai Land Department transfer fee is about AED 129,200 (USD 35,200), and registration, trustee and agency charges take the all-in cost to roughly 6% to 7% over the price. UAE banks lend non-residents about 50% to 60% of the price, which is why the developer payment plan above carries most overseas purchases. The paragraphs below work the numbers for an Indian buyer, the largest single group buying in Dubai, but the ownership, visa and yield rules are the same whatever passport you hold.

Ownership. Dubai Islands is freehold; the unit is registered as an Oqood record now and a title deed at handover.

Remittance. AED 3.23 M is about USD 880,000; AED 2,076,000 is about USD 565,000. Under the LRS each person can remit USD 250,000 per financial year, so a couple can fund the 60 per cent before handover across this year and next, and the 40 per cent at handover in 2027 falls in a later year. The seven-step schedule maps well onto Indian financial years; ask for the dates.

Golden Visa. Both entry figures are above AED 2 M; the developer's AED 2,076,000 is only just, so confirm the registered price will be at or above AED 2 M. Off-plan units count once registered; confirm with the ICP.

Yield and tax. Dubai Islands forecasts run 6 to 8 per cent gross once the amenities open; at AED 2,076,000 a 1 BHK needs about AED 125,000 a year to reach 6 per cent, which is a realistic marina-front figure, while at AED 3.23 M it needs about AED 194,000. No UAE tax applies; in India the rent is income from house property after the 30 per cent standard deduction. Resale before handover is possible once a set share is paid, subject to the developer's transfer fee.

Pros

• Marina-front second phase from the developer that has delivered on the islands
• The widest unit mix on the islands — 1 BHK to penthouses near 5,000 sq ft
• Developer 1 BHK entry just above the Golden Visa line
• Seven-step plan with nothing after handover
• Nakheel-regulated service charges of about AED 15 to 22 per sq ft
• Phase one hands over first, so you can inspect the finish

Cons

• Two entry prices in print — AED 2,076,000 and AED 3.23 M
• Two handover dates eight months apart
• No published entry-unit area
• The islands are unfinished
• Heavy Imtiaz supply letting at the same time
• DLD number and escrow bank not in print

Who this is for

• Buyers who want a marina-front unit with a later handover and a seven-step plan
• Families choosing a duplex, townhouse or penthouse on the water
• Golden Visa applicants taking the 1 BHK at the developer's figure
• Indian buyers spreading the pre-handover 60 per cent across two financial years

Who should look elsewhere

• Anyone who needs a finished neighbourhood today
• Buyers who cannot get the price and the area on one sheet
• Yield-first investors until the amenities open
• Anyone unwilling to chase the DLD number and escrow details

Our verdict

Prefer this phase over phase one if the developer's AED 2,076,000 entry is real and you can wait until 2027. Get the price list with areas, the DLD number and the escrow details, plan around December 2027 as the outside date, and take the 1 BHK for the visa or a duplex for the family. The wider market is on our project list.

FAQs

What is the price of Cotier House 2?

The source listing shows it from AED 3.23 M, about Rs 8.32 Cr. The developer's page and the portals print 1 BHK from AED 2,076,000 and 2 BHK from AED 3,705,000, so the listed figure may be a larger 1 BHK or a higher floor. Ask Imtiaz for the current list with areas.

What is the payment plan?

20 per cent on booking, 40 per cent during construction and 40 per cent on handover, in seven steps with nothing due after handover. Add the 4 per cent DLD fee and Oqood admin fees at booking.

When is handover?

April 2027 on the developer's page and the portals; December 2027 on the source listing. Plan around April 2027 with December as the outside case, and ask for the DLD project-status report.

Is it RERA registered?

It is an active DLD-registered off-plan project on Property Finder and Bayut, but none of the sources checked prints the project number or the escrow bank. Confirm both on the Dubai REST app before paying.

Does it qualify for the Golden Visa?

Yes. The developer's 1 BHK entry of AED 2,076,000 is just above the AED 2 M threshold and the listed figure of AED 3.23 M is well above it. Off-plan units count once registered; confirm with the ICP.

What are the service charges?

Dubai Islands charges are estimated at AED 15 to 22 per sq ft a year for 2026, regulated by Nakheel. Ask for the building's budget once the area of your unit is confirmed.

What rental yield can I expect?

Forecasts for Dubai Islands run 6 to 8 per cent gross once the amenities open by 2027. At AED 3.23 M a unit would need about AED 194,000 a year to reach 6 per cent; at the developer's AED 2,076,000 it needs about AED 125,000, which is a more realistic marina-front figure.

What has Imtiaz delivered?

More than 2,000 units, six handovers in 2025 and ten scheduled for 2026, with Pearl House II and Westwood Grande delivered early. It handed over Beach Walk Residences, the first residential building on Dubai Islands.
