Hello everyone. This district differs from the others in one way: metro istasyonu. Today, from Al Furjan, PINNACLE by Binghatti is what we are looking at today!

Al Furjanis one of Dubai’s residential districts with developed infrastructure, and it has a concrete advantage over its alternatives in this price band: kendi metro istasyonu. Where public transport is next to non existent in districts such as JVC, JVT, Arjan and Motor City, Al Furjan is connected to the metro network. Binghatti Developers is developing a mid rise residence here. Studio, one and two bedroom options. Yes, you read that correctly: a part of Dubai where you can live without a car.

Prices

  • Residences: AED 720,000and up
  • Studio, one and two bedroom options
  • Size: 35 m²and up
  • A mid rise residential scheme
  • Konum: Al Furjan, Dubai

AED 720,000 is a competitive level for a district with metro access in Dubai. Proximity to the metro is a feature that feeds straight into price when letting, and it is rare in this band.

Why Pinnacle?

The metro: the biggest difference in this price band

In most of Dubai’s mid segment residential districts a car is compulsory. For a tenant that means an extra cost (the car, the fuel, the parking) and an obstacle that shuts out some tenant groups entirely. Having metro access in Al Furjan widens the tenant pool: young professionals who prefer to live without a car, newly arrived expats and students all treat this district differently.

  • Al Furjan metro station in the district; a direct link to the Dubai metro network
  • By metro, Dubai Marina, JBR and Expo City access towards
  • Sheikh Zayed Road and Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road connections to every part of the city
  • Ibn Battuta Mall and Dubai Marina a short distance away
  • Supermarkets, schools and clinics within the district; developed infrastructure

Al Furjan’s maturity

Al Furjan is one of the districts in Dubai that has passed the "still developing" stage. Villas, low rise buildings and new towers sit together; supermarkets, schools and clinics are already in place. Rather than investing in a new district and waiting for the infrastructure to arrive, you position yourself somewhere demand is proven.

Daily life: Dubai without a car

A morning swim in the pool, then the metro to Dubai Marina or the city centre. Lunchtime in the cafes of the district. In the evening Ibn Battuta Mall or the restaurants of Marina, a few stops on the metro. At the weekend JBR beach, again within metro reach. Al Furjan is one of the few parts of Dubai where you can live comfortably without a car, and that lowers the cost of daily life directly.

Pinnacle rental yield

The entry price in Al Furjan is reasonable and demand is strong thanks to the metro access and the established infrastructure. In this segment the gross rental yield is typically 7% to 8% band.

Proximity to the metro has a concrete value when letting: being able to write "metro within walking distance" in your listing is a line most of your rivals in this price band cannot write. It lets you find a tenant faster and hold your rent level. And again: from that income no tax is withheld.

  • Binghatti’s architectural signature: A facade language you can pick out on the Dubai skyline.

Who is buying?

This project of investors who put ease of letting first choice. Metro access is one of the most concrete factors in lowering the void period. Young professionals planning to live in Dubai without a car and newly arrived expats also choose it for their own use. An AED 720,000 entry price is a realistic level for international investors taking a first step into Dubai as well.

Frequently asked questions

Is the metro really within walking distance? There is a metro station in the Al Furjan district, but the exact walking time from the scheme to the station varies with the position of the apartment. We clarify that for you; the detail matters when letting.

Is Al Furjan far from the centre? Downtown and Business Bay need a car. The strength of the district is not proximity to the centre but metro access, developed infrastructure and a price advantage.

Will 35 m² let? Studios and compact apartments in Al Furjan are favoured by single professionals. The metro access strengthens demand from that group further. It may feel tight for your own use.

What is the tenure? Al Furjan is a freehold area; foreign nationals can hold full title.

Total cost: what you actually pay when you buy at PINNACLE

This is where Dubai’s biggest advantage shows: no property tax, no capital gains tax, no tax on rental income. Where an investor in the United Kingdom deals with stamp duty, income tax and capital gains tax on sale, an individual investor in the Emirates faces none of them. What there is instead is a one off transfer cost. Let us work it out on an apartment worth AED 720,000:

ItemAmount
Property priceAED 720,000
DLD transfer fee (4%)AED 28,800
Registration trustee fee plus VATAED 4,410
Administration feeAED 40
Title deed issuanceAED 250
Agency commissionBuying directly from the developer usually means None
Approximate totalAED 753,500 to AED 768,620

Government fees come to roughly 4.5% of the price; add the agency commission and the total acquisition cost lands in the 6-7% band. With a mortgage there is also a mortgage registration fee of 0.25% of the loan plus bank charges. On resales the developer’s no objection certificate (NOC) can cost between AED 500 and AED 5,000.

The only recurring item after that is the service charge: In the Emirates this charge is calculated per square foot per year and is supervised by the Dubai Land Department. It varies a great deal with the quality of the building and its amenities, and because it feeds straight into the net yield you should always ask for the current figure before buying. We obtain it for every apartment on your behalf.

Golden Visa: ten year residency through property

This is the biggest difference between investing in Dubai and investing in the United Kingdom. Buying property in the UK gives you no right of residence; in the United Arab Emirates, AED 2 million owning residential property worth a ten year Golden Visa. The visa covers your spouse and children as well.

In this project the entry price sits below the threshold. An apartment at the AED 720,000 level is not enough on its own; roughly a further AED 1,280,000 is needed to reach the threshold. The good news is this: the value of several properties can be combined. You can reach the threshold with a larger apartment in the project or with a second property; we work out which combination gets you there.

The rules were relaxed in 2026, and this matters:

  • Mortgaged property is accepted as well. A "paid up amount" or a "50% equity" condition used to apply; now the total value reaching AED 2 million is enough.
  • Off plan property counts too (provided it was bought from an approved developer). So you can spread the payments across the build and still reach the threshold.
  • The value of more than one property can be added together. You do not have to buy a single expensive apartment.

Visa rules are updated from time to time, so we confirm the current conditions with you before an application. If residency is part of your plan, it belongs at the start of the purchase decision, not at the end.

The PINNACLE buying process, step by step

If you are buying from another country, the process runs like this:

  • 1. Choosing the apartment and reserving it. We settle the floor plan, the tower and the aspect. The reservation form is signed and a down payment of usually 5-10% of the price is made.
  • 2. Sale and purchase agreement (SPA). The contract with the developer is signed and the payment plan is fixed. The signature can be given remotely.
  • 3. Oqood registration. An off plan purchase is registered with the DLD and the 4% DLD fee is paid at this stage. That registration is the official proof that the property is recorded in your name.
  • 4. Escrow account. Your payments do not go into the developer’s pocket but into a RERA supervised escrow account, released as construction progresses. This is the single most important protection for an off plan purchase in Dubai.
  • 5. Payment plan. Instalments tied to construction milestones, with the balance on handover.
  • 6. Handover and title deed. Once the building is handed over the title deed is issued in your name.

You can run the whole process from your own country; you do not have to travel to Dubai. There is no restriction on foreign nationals owning property in freehold areas.

Risks and what to watch for

We have set out the strengths; in fairness there are points to watch as well. For PINNACLE, these are the ones worth pausing on:

  • Away from the centre: Downtown and Business Bay need a car; not suitable for anyone after the prestige of a central address.
  • The distance to the metro varies with the apartment: there is a station in the district but the walking time from the scheme varies with position; settle it at the outset.
  • The 35 m² layouts are compact: Liquid to let, but it may feel tight for your own use.
  • Off plan completion risk: Even though payments go into an escrow account the handover date can move; have the contract reviewed.

None of this makes the project a bad one, but there is a wide gap between buying with your eyes open and finding out afterwards. We give every client this list up front.
