Marquis Signature Arjan Dubai

Marquis Signature is a completed apartment building in Arjan, Al Barsha South, built by Marquis Developers through its Marquis Circle arm. Construction ran from July 2022 to December 2023, and the developer began handing over 91 residential and commercial units in June 2024, on time and publicly announced. It holds one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments from about 726 to 1,996 sq ft.

Entry prices start near AED 842,000, roughly Rs 2.17 crore. The number that matters more is the gap between what sellers ask and what buyers pay: DLD data puts the average sale here at about AED 1,118,333 against a six-month listing average of about AED 1,444,894. The source listing carries no price. See the rest of our Dubai section, our projects list, or two more Arjan buildings we cover — the same developer's Marquis Galleria and Elano by ORO24.

At a glance

Price and unit pricing

Four figures circulate for this building, and they are not four opinions about the same thing. They are different measurements, and reading them together is how you work out what to pay:

The asking average sits about 29% above the transacted average. That is not a contradiction in the data — it is the ordinary distance between what sellers hope for and what buyers pay, and in this building it is unusually wide. It is also, for a buyer, free information. Ask your agent for the Dubai Land Department transaction list for the building and make your offer against what has registered, not against the advertisement.

On rate, the entry price against the smallest 726 sq ft one-bedroom works out near AED 1,160 per sq ft, under the Arjan average of roughly AED 1,355 and far under the emirate-wide figure near AED 1,976. This is not an expensive address.

Payment plan and total cost

There is no developer plan left to take. The launch terms were 60% across construction and 40% at handover, and the building has been in owners' hands since June 2024. A purchase now is a resale: the full price on transfer, or a mortgage. Worked on an AED 842,000 entry unit:

If you finance, add 0.25% of the loan as mortgage registration and a bank arrangement fee near 1%. Non-resident buyers are usually held to a lower loan-to-value than residents, so confirm with the bank before you agree a timeline with a seller.

On income, Arjan is quoted at an indicative 6.8% gross across property types, with one-bedrooms in a 6.4% to 9% band depending on the building and the source. Net lands about 1.5 to 2 points below. The building is tenanted, so check achieved rents in live listings rather than trusting a projection.

Location and connectivity

Arjan sits in the Al Barsha South stretch of Dubailand, framed by Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311) and Umm Suqeim Road. Published drive times put Dubai Miracle Garden and the Butterfly Garden at about 5 to 10 minutes, Mall of the Emirates at about 15, Downtown and Dubai Mall at about 20, the airport at about 20 and Dubai Marina at about 25.

No metro station serves Arjan. Mall of the Emirates and Sharaf DG on the Red Line are the nearest working stops, both a drive. The Blue Line is expected to bring a station closer but remains a plan with a date rather than a service, so keep it out of your valuation. What Arjan does have is trading volume, which for a completed building mostly reads as a positive: there is a real, liquid resale market at this address and published data to price against it.

Amenities and specifications

The number the developer leads with is amenity provision: close to 20% of the site, quoted at over 20,000 sq ft. What the sources actually name is a fitness centre, a swimming pool, planted gardens, shared community space and 24-hour security.

There are no studios here. Sizes run from about 726 sq ft at the smallest one-bedroom to 1,996 sq ft at the top of the three-bedroom range, which is generous for Arjan at this price band. No source we checked publishes the appliance schedule, the flooring specification or the parking allocation by unit type — but the building is finished, so inspect the actual apartment instead of reading a brochure. The sale agreement is final.

About the developer

Marquis Developers has been building in Arjan and the Dubai Residence Complex since 2020, across an eight-project portfolio, and this is the building its reputation rests on. Marquis Signature was completed in December 2023 and handed over from June 2024, on time, with the developer and the press both carrying the announcement. Its other completion is 2020 Marquis.

Beyond those two the company has roughly 630 homes at various stages of development, with about 250 units dated to hand over between Q4 2025 and Q1 2026, and in August 2025 it launched Marquis One, a 22-storey Arjan tower of nearly 500 homes for completion in 2028. It describes itself as debt-free and Sharia-compliant.

Two completions against six more in the pipeline is a thin record in absolute terms. For a buyer at this address, though, the relevant part is simple: this is the building the record was built on, and it is finished.

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 7,400 to 13,200 a year on a 726 sq ft one-bedroom.

At about USD 229,000 the entry unit sits inside one person's Liberalised Remittance Scheme allowance of USD 250,000 per financial year, though the DLD fee and commission will need care at the edges. The average transacted price of about AED 1,118,333 is roughly USD 305,000, which needs two remitters or two financial years. TCS applies on the remittance above the current threshold.

On residency, typical transacted prices here sit well under the AED 2 M Golden Visa threshold, so treat the visa as out of reach at this address. 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 goes into Schedule FA of your return. The UAE takes nothing, so there is no foreign tax credit to set against it.

Pros

• Complete, handed over and occupied — no construction risk at all
• Delivered on time in June 2024 with a dated public announcement
• Entry rate near AED 1,160 per sq ft, below the Arjan average of roughly AED 1,355
• Sizes from 726 to 1,996 sq ft are generous for the community and the price
• DLD transaction data is published for the building, so you can price against real sales
• Amenity provision of close to 20% of the site, quoted at over 20,000 sq ft
• The entry unit sits inside one person's USD 250,000 annual LRS allowance

Cons

• Average asking prices run about 29% above average transacted prices — the listings are optimistic
• The two entry figures on record differ by AED 135,000, so what you are quoted depends on who quotes it
• No developer payment plan is left; a resale means the full price on transfer
• No studios, so the cheapest entry is a one-bedroom near AED 842,000
• Nothing here reliably reaches the AED 2 M Golden Visa threshold at typical transacted prices
• The RERA-approved service-charge budget is not published by the sources we checked
• No metro serves Arjan today; the Blue Line station is a plan with a date, not an operating stop

Who this is for

• Buyers who want a finished, tenanted Arjan apartment with the delivery risk already gone
• Investors who will price against the DLD transaction record rather than the asking price
• End users who want 726 to 1,996 sq ft at a below-average Arjan rate
• Buyers who value a developer that delivered this exact building on time and said so publicly

Who should look elsewhere

• Anyone who needs a staged payment plan — the developer release is gone
• Golden Visa buyers; typical transacted prices here sit well under AED 2 M
• Buyers who will pay the asking price without checking the transaction record

Our verdict

Marquis Signature is the safest thing this developer sells, because it is the one building the company has finished, handed over and been publicly held to. Construction ran July 2022 to December 2023, handover began in June 2024, and the delivery was announced as on time. The question that hangs over most Arjan purchases is already answered here.

What is left is a pricing question with an unusually clear answer. DLD data puts the average sale in this building near AED 1,118,333 while six months of listings average about AED 1,444,894. That roughly 29% gap is the distance between hope and reality, and it is the most useful number on this page: price against the transaction record. The entry rate near AED 1,160 per sq ft is below the Arjan average, the sizes are generous, and amenity provision is close to a fifth of the site. The limits are equally plain — no studios, no staged plan, and no realistic route to the AED 2 M Golden Visa threshold. As a finished, rentable, fairly priced Arjan apartment, it does the job well.

FAQs

What does an apartment at Marquis Signature cost?

Entry prices start at about AED 842,000, roughly Rs 2.17 crore, though a second source quotes the starting price at about AED 976,667. DLD transaction data puts the average sale in the building near AED 1,118,333, while Bayut's six-month listing average is about AED 1,444,894. On the entry price against a 726 sq ft one-bedroom that is roughly AED 1,160 per sq ft.

Why is the asking price so much higher than the transacted price?

Because they measure different things. The AED 1,444,894 figure is what sellers are asking across six months of listings; the AED 1,118,333 figure is what buyers actually paid, recorded by the Dubai Land Department. The roughly 29% gap between them is your negotiating range. Ask your agent for the DLD transaction list for the building and make your offer against that, not against the advert.

Is the building finished?

Yes. Construction ran from July 2022 to completion in December 2023, and Marquis Developers began handing over 91 residential and commercial units in June 2024 with a dated public statement that the delivery was on time. The building is occupied, and every unit carries a title deed.

What is the payment plan?

There is not one any more. The launch plan was 60% during construction and 40% at handover, and the building has been handed over since June 2024. A resale means the full price on transfer plus the 4% DLD fee — AED 33,680 on AED 842,000 — a trustee-office fee of about AED 2,000 to 4,200 and roughly 2% broker commission if an agent is involved.

What are the service charges?

Arjan buildings run about AED 10.17 to AED 18.15 per sq ft a year, so roughly AED 7,400 to 13,200 on a 726 sq ft one-bedroom. This building's approved budget is not published by the sources we checked, but the building is complete — ask the owners' association for the real figure and the seller for a service-charge clearance certificate so you do not inherit arrears.

What yield can I expect?

Arjan is quoted at an indicative 6.8% gross across property types, with one-bedrooms in a 6.4% to 9% band depending on the building and the source. Net sits about 1.5 to 2 points below gross. Because this building is tenanted you can check achieved rents in live listings instead of trusting a projection — do that before you rely on any number.

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

Arjan is freehold, so any nationality can own outright with a Dubai Land Department title deed. On the visa, typical transacted prices in this building sit well under the AED 2 M threshold, so treat residency as out of reach here unless you are buying an unusually large unit at an unusually high price. At about USD 229,000 the entry unit fits inside one person's USD 250,000 LRS allowance for the financial year.

What has Marquis delivered before?

Two projects: 2020 Marquis and this one. Marquis Signature was completed in December 2023 and handed over from June 2024, on time and publicly announced. The company has roughly 630 homes in development and launched Marquis One, a 22-storey Arjan tower of nearly 500 homes, in August 2025 for completion in 2028.
