The Central Uptown

The Central Uptown is a new off-plan residential development by Aqua Properties in Arjan, Dubai. Starting prices are from AED 720,000, offering studio and 1 to 4-bedroom homes, and handover is expected in 2028.

Buying at launch means securing the unit early on a construction-linked payment plan tied to construction milestones, with the balance due on handover. Payments are held in a RERA-regulated escrow account and released to the developer against verified build progress — the structural protection every off-plan buyer relies on.

Arjan

The Central Uptown sits in Arjan, one of the Dubai communities we track across our off-plan database. Location matters more off-plan than in a ready market, because you are buying against a master plan rather than a finished building — so connectivity, the surrounding pipeline and the developer's delivery record are worth confirming before you commit.

The developer: Aqua Properties

The Central Uptown is developed by Aqua Properties. On any off-plan purchase the developer's track record is central — it is the difference between a rendering and a delivered home. Confirm Aqua Properties's completed projects and handover history, and review the payment schedule and escrow arrangement before reserving. Their other launches are on the developers page.

Price and payment

The Central Uptown starts from AED 720,000 on a construction-linked payment plan. As with any off-plan purchase, underwrite it on the rent a completed unit can achieve rather than on projected appreciation, and read the payment plan against your own cash flow before committing.
