Altai at a glance
Altai
is an off-plan residential development by Tiger Properties in JVT (Jumeirah Village Triangle), Dubai. The data provided lists one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments with a published price range from AED 1,142,378 to AED 1,880,553. All five units listed in the price table sit at or below the AED 2,500,000 threshold used by Oliva for this review.
The project's payment plan is structured as 20% on booking, 50% after booking and 30% post handover, with handover stated as January 2026. Because the current year is 2026, buyers should verify whether this date is still accurate or has been revised. The data does not include total unit count, service charge figures or a developer track record, so those items require direct verification.
Pricing breakdown
The unit price table records five priced units. Three are one-bedroom apartments ranging from AED 1,142,378 to AED 1,701,948, with sizes from 618.17 sq ft to 926.23 sq ft. The two two-bedroom apartments are priced from AED 1,794,585 to AED 1,880,553, each listed at 1,023.43 sq ft. All five units fall under the AED 2,500,000 threshold, with a project minimum of AED 1,142,378 and a maximum of AED 1,880,553.
The one-bedroom price band is substantially wider than the two-bedroom band, but the data does not explain why. Buyers should ask for floor and view premiums if they matter. From a cost perspective, the 4% Dubai Land Department transfer fee will apply at registration, on top of the purchase price. Buyers should also account for service charges, which are not provided in this data set.
The payment schedule
The developer's payment plan is labelled '2 Years Post Handover' in the data, with three milestones: 20% on booking, 50% after booking and 30% post handover. The data does not specify whether the post-handover portion is paid in instalments or as a lump sum, nor whether the 'after booking' portion is linked to construction milestones. Buyers should get the detailed schedule in writing.
Because handover is stated as January 2026, a buyer paying on the plan would still owe 30% after taking possession. This deferral can ease immediate cash outflow but also creates a post-handover payment obligation. Buyers should confirm whether the post-handover payments are secured, whether late payment interest applies, and whether the developer can deliver on the stated handover date.
The JVT (Jumeirah Village Triangle) setting
Altai is located in JVT (Jumeirah Village Triangle), a residential area in Dubai. The JSON provided does not include area-level aggregate statistics such as transaction volumes, average prices or rental data, so this review cannot comment on area performance. Buyers should independently check commute times, community infrastructure, upcoming road access and the development status of surrounding plots. The data does not characterise the area beyond the name JVT, so specific advantages should be confirmed on site.

Due diligence checklist
Escrow. Off-plan payments in Dubai should be made into a project escrow account regulated under Dubai Law No. (8) of 2007. Ask the developer for the escrow account details and verify the account with the Dubai Land Department before transferring any money.
Oqood. After purchase, the sale should be registered with Oqood, the Dubai Land Department's interim property register. Registration of the off-plan sale protects the buyer's interest and should be completed promptly after signing.
Service charges. The JSON data does not include a service charge figure for Altai. Service charges are set annually and approved by RERA, so request the latest RERA-approved service charge budget and ask how the charges will be allocated before committing.
Handover. The data lists handover as January 2026. Confirm this date in the sale and purchase agreement, including any extension or delay clauses, and ask what happens to the payment plan if handover slips.
Payment plan and fees. Confirm that the payment schedule in the SPA matches the stated 20% on booking, 50% after booking and 30% post handover. Also note that on off-plan the developer pays Oliva's commission and the buyer pays nothing for representation; a 2% + 5% VAT buyer fee applies only to resale and secondary purchases. The Dubai Land Department transfer fee of 4% is payable at registration.
Our read
Altai offers a small set of one and two-bedroom apartments in JVT, all priced under AED 2,500,000 in the data. The price point from AED 1,142,378 to AED 1,880,553 and the deferral of 30% post handover may suit buyers who want to manage cash flow and are comfortable with Tiger Properties as developer. The data does not include service charges, total unit count or area-level performance, so due diligence on the specific unit and contract is essential.
