About The Strand

The Strand is an emerging waterfront district taking shape along the northern reaches of Dubai's coastline, anchored by a curated pipeline of residential developments from established developers. Right now, it's early — and that's precisely the point. Our buyers who move at this stage tend to capture the sharpest entry prices before infrastructure matures and the wider market catches up. With Lunara by RAK Properties already in our active catalogue targeting a Q1 2029 handover, The Strand is on our radar as a mid-term play with genuine upside for patient investors and end-users who want waterfront living without the premium that more established addresses command.

Frequently asked questions about The Strand

Is The Strand a freehold community?
The Strand is part of Dubai's freehold framework — international buyers can take 100% ownership with full title registered at the Dubai Land Department. Purchases above AED 2 million qualify for the 10-year UAE Golden Visa. Properties below AED 750,000 may also qualify the buyer for a 2-year residence visa.
Can foreigners buy property in The Strand?
Yes. The Strand sits within Dubai's freehold zones, where international buyers take perpetual 100% ownership with title registered at the Dubai Land Department. No UAE residency is required to buy, though purchases above AED 750,000 (2-year visa) or AED 2 million (10-year Golden Visa) entitle owners to apply for residence.
What payment plans are available in The Strand?
Most off-plan projects in The Strand offer staged payment plans tied to construction milestones — typically a 10–20% deposit at booking, instalments through the build, and a balance on handover (commonly 60/40 or 70/30 splits). Some developers also offer post-handover payment plans of 1–3 years. Each project page above lists its specific plan.
What fees should I expect when buying in The Strand?
Standard one-time costs for any Dubai property purchase: 4% Dubai Land Department transfer fee, AED 4,000 DLD admin fee, 2% real estate agent commission, AED 4,000 trustee/registration fee, and a mortgage registration fee of 0.25% of the loan amount if you're financing. Budget an additional 6–8% of the purchase price for fees in total.
