About the developer Meraas and the Atelis design

The Atelis building is an architectural feat, designed by the renowned firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM), known for iconic projects such as the Burj Khalifa. The design combines aesthetic beauty with practical functionality, drawing inspiration from the organic forms of a desert flower. The developer, Meraas, is known for its quality projects that always go a step further in design and living comfort. The building features landscaped podiums, rooftop gardens with swimming pools, and a range of wellness amenities that enhance the living experience. The common areas are designed as meeting places where residents can enjoy shared luxury. The building’s facade is a work of art in itself, with sculptural balconies that appear to grow like petals from the facade. This unique architecture provides not only visual impact but also practical benefits such as shade and privacy. Meraas has paid particular attention to sustainability and energy efficiency in the development, ensuring Atelis meets the highest international standards.

How does a mortgage work for off-plan property in Dubai?

You use your own funds during construction. You pay the payment plan instalments from your own funds. A mortgage is usually arranged only at handover, for the amount still outstanding at that point. Some banks provide finance earlier, but the UAE Central Bank sets a 50% maximum for off-plan property.

Situation (UAE resident)Maximum mortgage
First home up to AED 5m80%
First home above AED 5m70%
Second home or investment60%
Off-plan, before handover50%

Non-resident? These maximums do not automatically apply. Banks use their own, usually stricter, rules for foreign buyers. If you live abroad, expect to contribute more of your own funds.

Income matters. In principle, your total monthly debt repayments may not exceed 50% of your gross monthly income, and the mortgage may not exceed 7 times your annual income. The maximum term is 25 years.

Borrow more after handover? If the property is worth more than your purchase price at handover, a bank may sometimes provide additional finance based on the valuation through equity release. This requires a separate discussion with an adviser.

An estimate, not advice or an offer. Statutory maximums are no guarantee. Income, debts, age, employer and credit profile determine what a bank will actually lend.
