Gardens 2 Arjan Dubai

Gardens 2 is Iman Developers' second low-rise building in Arjan, Dubailand: 223 apartments over a basement, ground floor, five residential floors and a roof deck, built as an AED 200 million scheme. The source listing shows it from AED 650,000, about Rs 1.67 crore at Rs 25.75 per dirham, for a studio of about 416 sq ft. One-bedroom units start at AED 1,000,000 and two-bedroom units at AED 1,758,549, up to about 1,710 sq ft. The plan is 20% on booking, 40% during construction and 40% on handover.

The handover date is the thing to pin down. Property Finder printed Q4 2025, other portals Q1 2026, the source listing April 2025. All of those have passed, and none of the sources we checked confirms that keys have been handed over. Iman says its previous five buildings were delivered on or ahead of schedule, so completion is likely; but likely is not confirmed, and the difference decides whether you are buying a finished flat at a launch price or an off-plan unit that has slipped. This page prints the numbers and the checks.

At a glance

Price and unit pricing

The two studio prices are AED 5,340 apart, which is a rounding difference, not a conflict. The rate matters more: at about AED 1,563 per sq ft the studio is roughly 15% above the Arjan average of AED 1,355 on 2026 area guides. Small units always run higher per foot, and a rooftop deck and outdoor cinema cost something, but you are paying a premium for a low-rise address in a district where the towers next door sell for less per foot. The 2 BHK, if the AED 1,758,549 applies to a unit near 1,710 sq ft, would be well under the district rate; ask which size that price attaches to, because the 2 BHK range is wide.

Payment plan and total cost

The plan is 20% on booking, 40% during construction and 40% on handover. If the building is finished, the construction share is already due, so a buyer today pays 60% up front and 40% with the keys.

Service charges are not published. Arjan buildings run AED 10 to 18 per sq ft per year; at AED 14 a 416 sq ft studio pays about AED 5,800 a year. Low-rise buildings with fewer lifts and a smaller podium often sit toward the lower end.

Location and connectivity

Arjan is the mid-rise apartment district in Dubailand next to Dubai Miracle Garden, bounded by Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road and Umm Suqeim Street. It has no metro; tenants drive to Al Barsha, Dubai Hills and Media City, all within 15 to 20 minutes off peak.

• Dubai Miracle Garden, Butterfly Garden: a few minutes
• Dubai Hills Mall: about 12 to 15 minutes
• Mall of the Emirates: about 15 minutes
• Downtown Dubai: about 20 to 25 minutes
• Al Maktoum International Airport: about 25 to 30 minutes

What it is like: new, dense and still being built. Ground-floor supermarkets, a community park network and clinics are in place; schools are a short drive. The supply pipeline from Samana, Vincitore, Rabdan and dozens of smaller developers is the reason yields are high and price growth is slow: tenants have choice.

Amenities and specifications

Iman quotes a rooftop barbecue area, an outdoor cinema, a children's play area, a large pool and a gym, in a low-rise building it describes as nature-inspired with landscaped grounds. Its Oxford buildings in JVC were sold with smart-home fittings and Oxford Terraces won an Arabian Property award for best smart home; the public sources for Gardens 2 do not itemise appliances, flooring or parking. Ask for the specification schedule and visit the first Gardens by Iman in Arjan, which is the closest finished example. Final as per the SPA.

About the developer

Iman Developers is a private Dubai developer of mid-rise apartment blocks in JVC and Arjan. It has handed over five projects. Oxford Terraces in JVC (117 units: 58 studios, 51 one-beds, 8 two-beds) sold out within an hour of launch, began construction in 2022 and was handed over in 2024. The AED 180 million Oxford 212 (212 units) followed and was described as its fifth completed project. Iman says all were delivered on or ahead of schedule. It has never built a tall tower and Gardens 2, at five floors, does not need it to.

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 650,000 entry price the 4% Dubai Land Department transfer fee is about AED 26,000 (USD 7,100), 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. Arjan is freehold; the DLD issues the title deed in your name at handover, with an Oqood registration before that.

Remitting. The studio all in is about AED 677,000, roughly USD 184,000, inside the USD 250,000 per person per financial year LRS limit. Tax collected at source applies above the annual threshold and is creditable in your Indian return.

Golden Visa. Nothing in the building crosses the AED 2 million threshold alone; the largest 2 BHK starts at AED 1,758,549. A studio plus a 2 BHK would qualify together.

Yield and tax. Arjan studios return 7 to 8.5% gross on 2026 data, which on AED 650,000 means rent of about AED 45,000 to 55,000 a year. Net of service charges and a letting fee, 5.5 to 6.5%. No UAE tax; in India the rent is income from house property with the 30% deduction, and the asset goes in Schedule FA.

Exit. A 223-unit low-rise resells more easily than a 300-unit tower, but Arjan's supply means you are competing with new launches. Plan a four to five year hold and budget the buyer's 4% DLD fee and your 2% broker fee into the exit price.

Pros

• Five delivered projects and a stated on-time record
• Low-rise, 223 units with a rooftop deck
• Inside one LRS limit at about USD 184,000 all in
• 7 to 8.5% gross yields for Arjan studios
• Possibly finished at a launch price

Cons

• About 15% above the Arjan average per sq ft on the studio
• Handover date passed with no public confirmation
• No project number or escrow bank in any source checked
• Heavy Arjan supply
• No Golden Visa from a single unit

Who this is for

• Yield investors who want an Arjan studio from a developer with buildings to inspect
• Buyers who prefer low-rise to towers
• Anyone near Rs 1.7 crore who will check the completion status first

Who should look elsewhere

• Buyers who need a Golden Visa from one purchase
• Anyone who wants a metro on foot; compare Serene Gardens 2 in Al Furjan
• Buyers who want a larger 1 BHK on a handover-heavy plan; compare Bond Enclave in the same community

Our verdict

A good Arjan studio buy, conditional on one phone call. If Iman confirms the building is complete, AED 650,000 (about Rs 1.67 crore) for a finished 416 sq ft unit in a district yielding 7 to 8% is a fair trade even at 15% over the district rate. If it is not complete, ask why and read the delay clause. Get the DLD project number either way. See all Dubai projects we track and our full project list.

FAQs

What is the price of Gardens 2 by Iman in Arjan?

The source listing shows it from AED 650,000, about Rs 1.67 crore at Rs 25.75 per dirham; Property Finder and Inside Realty print AED 655,340 for the studio. One-bedroom units start at AED 1,000,000 and two-bedroom units at AED 1,758,549. The entry studio is about AED 1,563 per sq ft on 416 sq ft.

What is the payment plan?

20% on booking, 40% during construction and 40% on handover, per the portals. The 4% DLD fee and the Oqood registration fee are extra. If the building is complete, the construction instalments are already due.

When is the handover?

On record it was Q4 2025 (Property Finder) to Q1 2026 (other portals); the source listing prints April 2025. All of those dates have passed and no source we checked confirms handover. Ask Iman for the completion certificate before you treat it as ready.

Is Gardens 2 registered with RERA?

Off-plan sales in Dubai must be DLD-registered and paid into escrow. None of the sources we checked prints the project number or the escrow bank. Ask the developer and confirm on the Dubai REST app.

What has Iman Developers delivered?

Five projects, including Oxford Terraces (117 units) and Oxford 212 (212 units) in JVC, both handed over in 2024. Iman says all were delivered on or ahead of schedule. Gardens 2 is the sister of its first Gardens building in Arjan.

Does a purchase qualify for the Golden Visa?

No single unit does: the largest 2 BHK starts at AED 1,758,549, under the AED 2 million property threshold. A studio and a 2 BHK bought together would cross it.

What rental yield does Arjan give?

Studios and 1 BHKs return 7 to 8.5% gross on 2026 data. On a AED 650,000 studio that implies rent of about AED 45,000 to 55,000 a year, less a service charge of roughly AED 4,000 to 7,500.

Can a foreign national own in Arjan?

Yes. Arjan is freehold and the DLD issues the title deed in your name. The studio all in is about AED 677,000, roughly USD 184,000, inside the USD 250,000 per person per financial year LRS (the Reserve Bank of India's Liberalised Remittance Scheme) limit. Buyers of any other nationality can own on the same terms: Dubai's designated freehold areas are open to all nationalities, there is no residency requirement and no local partner, and the Land Department issues the title deed in your own name.
