Venera Townhouses The Valley Dubai

Venera is one of the first clusters Emaar released in the second phase of The Valley, its suburb on the Dubai–Al Ain Road: 177 townhouses of 3 and 4 bedrooms, 2,437 to 2,731 sq ft, in seven layouts. It launched in 2024 from AED 2,480,000 (about Rs 6.39 crore) on an 80/20 plan. Construction stood at 26.74% on 11 December 2025 and handover is printed for Q3 2028.

Venera is the newest and dearest release on this page set. At about AED 1,018 per sq ft it costs a third more per foot than Elora did in 2023, and for that it has the largest townhouses in the community. The entry price clears the Golden Visa line by AED 480,000, and a cluster of 177 homes is small by Valley standards. What it asks in return is two more years of waiting and a yield that today's rents do not yet support.

At a glance

Price and unit pricing

The sources agree on the start price within 1%: AED 2,480,000 on the developer-side pages and the portals, AED 2.5 million rounded on one agency page. We use the lower, exact figure. The 4 BHK at AED 2.8 million is the value inside the cluster: about AED 1,053 per sq ft, only AED 35 more per foot, for a fourth bedroom and about 220 sq ft more.

Set against the rest of The Valley, Venera's price is the community's rising curve in one number. It is about 6% above Lillia per foot and a third above Elora. It is also roughly level with the lowest resale ask for a handed-over Orania townhouse, which is the comparison a buyer should make: the same money buys a smaller house now or a bigger one in 2028. No source says whether Emaar still has Venera units, so ask the developer before paying anyone a premium.

Payment plan and total cost

80/20: 10% on booking, 70% through construction, 20% at handover. Worked on the AED 2,480,000 entry home:

Spread evenly over the 48 months from the September 2024 start, the construction slice is about AED 36,000 a month. Emaar ties instalments to milestones, though, so ask for the schedule in writing. A buyer coming in now on a resale contract reimburses the seller's paid-in share, which Emaar's statement of account shows, pays the premium and the 4%, and then carries the remaining milestones and the AED 496,000 at the keys.

Service charges are not published for Venera. The community estimates of AED 14 to 18 per sq ft a year put a 2,437 sq ft home at AED 34,100 to 43,900 a year from 2028. Everything here is final as per the SPA.

Location and connectivity

The Valley sits on the Dubai–Al Ain Road (E66) where it meets Jebel Ali–Lehbab Road (E77), and Venera's cluster lies along the E77 side in the second phase. Emaar's own page gives 28 minutes to Downtown, and the area guides put Dubai International Airport at about 30. There is no metro, so plan on a car for every adult.

The first phase already has its Town Centre, Golden Beach lagoon, Sports Village and Kids' Dale, inside a master plan of about 200 hectares and more than 4,500 homes. The second phase gets its own facilities, and Venera's pages list a swimming pool, a skate park, a pet park, a mosque, a sports centre and retail and dining. No source names a school as open inside the community, so the Academic City and Silicon Oasis schools remain the nearest.

For comparison: Lillia is 406 first-phase townhouses from AED 2,050,000 due in Q1 2027, and Orania is 308 townhouses handing over now, with resale asks from AED 2.6 million. Emaar's Dubai releases we track are on the Emaar hub, the emirate's on all Dubai projects and the site's on the projects page.

Amenities and specifications

Quoted for the homes: floor-to-ceiling windows and outdoor terraces across seven layouts named Slate, Oakley, Ravine, Serene, Nash, Vale and Dale. For the cluster: a guardhouse, a community centre, a games and fitness pod, a flexible lawn, a swimming pool with planted decks, a kids' play area, a skate park and a pet park, backyard sikkas (shaded lanes behind the rows), an outdoor cinema, outdoor living rooms, indoor multipurpose rooms, a mosque, a sports centre and retail and dining.

Not published: plot sizes, the finish schedule, appliance brands, parking per home and the service-charge budget. Emaar's brochure for Velora and Venera has the floor plans. Ask which of the seven layouts a unit is and see its plot plan, because the 3 BHK range alone spans 77 sq ft. Final specification as per the SPA.

About the developer

Emaar Properties is Dubai's largest developer and the builder of Burj Khalifa, Dubai Mall, Downtown Dubai, Dubai Marina, Arabian Ranches and Dubai Hills Estate. Published counts put it at more than 120,000 homes delivered worldwide since 1997, more than 109,000 handed over in Dubai since 2002, and over 180 completed buildings in the city. One analysis puts about 80% of its projects within six months of the stated handover date; another records delays of three to nine months on large phased launches, and no cancellations. Its reported revenue backlog of AED 163.4 billion at 31 March 2026 is the balance sheet behind that.

At The Valley, Eden launched in 2019 and was delivered in June 2023, and Orania, launched in 2022 for Q4 2025, is handing over. Venera, at 26.74% within 15 months of its start, is the first cluster to test the same record in the second phase.

For Indian buyers

Ownership. The Valley is freehold for every nationality, resident or not; the title deed is issued by the Dubai Land Department in your own name at handover. The UAE charges no annual property tax and no VAT on a residential sale, so the government cost is the 4% DLD transfer fee (AED 99,200 on the entry home) plus the AED 40 Oqood fee and trustee charges.

Golden Visa and remittance. At AED 2,480,000 Venera clears the AED 2 million threshold by AED 480,000, and the 4 BHK by about AED 800,000. Every unit here qualifies, which is not true of Elora's 3 BHK or of Lillia's by more than a hair. The Golden Visa guide explains when an off-plan buyer can apply. The Liberalised Remittance Scheme allows USD 250,000 per person per Indian financial year; AED 2,480,000 is about USD 675,300. That is three allowances for one buyer or two years for a couple, and an 80/20 plan running to Q3 2028 spreads the payments across four Indian financial years.

Yield and exit. On the 2026 area guides a 3-bed at The Valley rents for AED 90,000 to 120,000 a year. That is 3.6 to 4.8% gross on AED 2,480,000, before AED 34,100 to 43,900 of service charge. The 6 to 7% community yields belong to the earlier, cheaper clusters. On exit, 177 homes is a small cluster, which helps, in a phase that will keep launching new stock, which does not. Rent and capital gains are taxable in India for an Indian tax resident, with the UAE–India treaty deciding the credit.

Pros

• The largest 3 and 4-bed townhouses in this set, from 2,437 sq ft
• Clears the AED 2 million Golden Visa threshold by AED 480,000 on the entry home
• The 4 BHK at about AED 1,053 per sq ft costs little more per foot than the 3 BHK
• About AED 36,000 a month over a 48-month build — a long, even instalment run
• Only 177 homes, so a shorter resale and rental queue at handover than Elora's 430 or Lillia's 406
• Construction at 26.74% within 15 months of the start, on pace for Q3 2028

Cons

• About AED 1,018 per sq ft is 33% above Elora's launch rate and the highest townhouse rate at The Valley
• Q3 2028 is two more years of construction and price risk
• 20% at the keys is AED 496,000 in one instalment on the entry home
• Phase 2 sits further from the Town Centre and Golden Beach than the first-phase clusters
• Service charge not published; AED 14 to 18 per sq ft is AED 34,100 to 43,900 a year on 2,437 sq ft
• On today's rents of AED 90,000 to 120,000, the gross yield is only 3.6 to 4.8%

Who this is for

• Golden Visa buyers who want a new, larger townhouse and can wait until 2028
• Families who want an Emaar 3 or 4-bed with a garden in a gated suburb
• Indian buyers who prefer to spread USD 675,300 over four years of LRS allowances
• Buyers who want a smaller cluster in the newer phase of the community

Who should look elsewhere

• Anyone who needs keys before late 2028
• Yield-first investors: 3.6 to 4.8% gross on today's rents is thin
• Buyers who want the lowest rate per sq ft at The Valley
• Anyone who cannot fund AED 496,000 in one payment at handover

Our verdict

Venera is what The Valley costs now. The first townhouses here launched at about AED 600 per sq ft in 2019, Elora at about AED 764 in 2023 and Lillia at about AED 962 later that year, and Venera went out in 2024 at about AED 1,018. For that you get the largest townhouses in the community, from 2,437 sq ft, in a cluster of only 177 homes. The entry price clears the Golden Visa line by AED 480,000, and the build is on pace at 26.74% after 15 months. The numbers that argue against it are the yield and the date. On today's rents a 3-bed earns 3.6 to 4.8% gross before a service charge of up to AED 43,900, and the keys are two years away. The 4 BHK at AED 2.8 million is the better buy per foot, at about AED 1,053, for a fourth bedroom and about 220 sq ft more.

Buy Venera as a family home or a Golden Visa purchase that you are happy to wait for until Q3 2028, preferably the 4 BHK, and only after confirming with Emaar whether units remain at the developer's price. If yield is the goal, a cheaper earlier cluster like Eden or Orania works harder. Get the registration, the SPA completion date and the milestone schedule in writing before paying the booking amount.

FAQs

What is the price of Venera at The Valley?

Emaar launched Venera in 2024 from AED 2,480,000 — about Rs 6.39 crore or USD 675,300 — for a 3-bedroom townhouse of about 2,437 sq ft, roughly AED 1,018 per sq ft. One source prices the 3 BHK from AED 2.5 million and the 4 BHK of 2,659 to 2,731 sq ft from AED 2.8 million. No source says whether Emaar still has units, so ask before paying a resale premium.

What is the payment plan?

80/20: 10% on booking, 70% through construction and 20% at handover. On AED 2,480,000 that is AED 248,000 at booking, AED 1,736,000 across the build and AED 496,000 at the keys, plus the 4% DLD fee of AED 99,200 — about AED 2.58 million in all.

When is the handover?

Q3 2028; one source gives 30 September 2028. Construction started on 24 September 2024 and was 26.74% complete on 11 December 2025, which is on pace. Get the completion date into the SPA and follow the progress figure on the Dubai REST app.

How many townhouses and what layouts?

177 townhouses of 3 and 4 bedrooms in seven layouts named Slate, Oakley, Ravine, Serene, Nash, Vale and Dale. The 3 BHK runs 2,437 to 2,514 sq ft and the 4 BHK 2,659 to 2,731 sq ft; plot sizes are not published.

Does Venera qualify for a Golden Visa?

Yes. The AED 2,480,000 entry price clears the AED 2 million threshold by AED 480,000, and the 4 BHK clears it by about AED 800,000. Confirm with the Dubai Land Department at what payment stage an off-plan buyer can apply.

What is the difference between Venera and Venera at The Valley Phase 2?

Portals list both names, and Emaar's brochure covers Venera together with its sister cluster Velora in The Valley's second phase. The sources we found describe the same 177-townhouse cluster, but check the registration on the contract so you know exactly which release and which handover date you are buying.

What rent and service charge should I expect?

Today a 3-bed townhouse at The Valley rents for AED 90,000 to 120,000 a year on the 2026 area guides, which is 3.6 to 4.8% gross on AED 2,480,000. Rents in 2028 are unknown. No service charge has been published; the community estimate of AED 14 to 18 per sq ft a year means AED 34,100 to 43,900 on 2,437 sq ft.

How does the LRS limit apply to a AED 2.48 million townhouse?

The Liberalised Remittance Scheme allows USD 250,000 per person per Indian financial year. AED 2,480,000 is about USD 675,300, so one buyer needs three allowances and a couple two years; the 80/20 schedule to Q3 2028 spreads that across four financial years.
