DaVinci Tower review: what buyers should check in 2026

This review is based solely on the verified facts provided by Oliva, a RERA-licensed buyer-side brokerage. It does not rely on outside knowledge or developer marketing claims. All figures below are taken directly from the supplied project data.

The project is located in Business Bay, Dubai. Area-level aggregates for Business Bay, described in the data as indicative averages across tracked inventory, show an average sale price of AED 3,959,199 and an average rent of AED 17,989. These are broad area averages, not project-specific performance figures, and should not be used to derive returns.

Buyers should investigate the specific micro-location within Business Bay, including access, surrounding development, and any planned infrastructure, as these details are not included in the current listing data.

The stated payment plan is 25% on booking, 25% after booking, and 50% upon handover. This schedule puts half of the purchase price into the final instalment, which is tied to the stated handover date of September 2025.

As the current year is 2026, buyers should verify the actual handover status with the developer. The label 'after booking' is not further defined in the current listing data, so the exact timing of the second 25% instalment should be confirmed in the sale and purchase agreement. The final 50% will be due at handover, or if handover has already occurred, according to the developer's current terms.

The unit price table lists 22 units across one, two, three, and four bedroom configurations. The single one-bedroom unit is priced at AED 7,144,171 with a size of 2,098.1 sqft. Five two-bedroom units range from AED 7,490,680 to AED 11,016,410, with sizes from 1,872.06 sqft to 2,357.83 sqft. Seven three-bedroom units sit between AED 13,526,455 and AED 23,818,119, with sizes from 2,671.17 sqft to 4,614.6 sqft. Nine four-bedroom units range from AED 15,250,868 to AED 24,217,160, with sizes from 2,782.15 sqft to 4,355.07 sqft.

The overall minimum price across the 22 priced units is AED 7,144,171, and the overall maximum is AED 24,217,160. No units in the price table are at or under AED 2,500,000. Buyers should note that the price table may not include every unit in the project, and current availability should be confirmed with the developer.

Escrow. Verify that the project has a DLD-approved escrow account under Dubai Law No. (8) of 2007. Request the escrow account number and confirm it directly with the Dubai Land Department before making any payment.

Oqood registration. Confirm that the sale will be registered with the Dubai Land Department's Oqood system once the sale and purchase agreement is signed. This registration protects the buyer's interest in the off-plan unit.

Service charges. No service charge figure is provided for DaVinci Tower. Obtain the RERA service charge index and the developer's approved service charge budget for the specific unit before purchase.

Handover date confirmation. The stated handover date is September 2025. As of 2026, request the completion certificate and confirm the current handover status with the developer and the Dubai Land Department.

Payment plan enforceability. Ensure the 25% on booking, 25% after booking, and 50% upon handover schedule is written into the sale and purchase agreement. Ask whether the after booking instalment is tied to a specific date or construction milestone, and check any default or extension clauses.

DaVinci Tower is a Business Bay project by Dar Al Arkan with unit pricing that starts at AED 7,144,171 and rises to AED 24,217,160 across the 22 units with published prices. The entire priced inventory sits above AED 2,500,000, and the unit sizes are generally large, with some four-bedroom units exceeding 4,000 sqft. This is not a project for buyers seeking an apartment under AED 2,500,000; it is aimed at purchasers who can carry a higher capital outlay and want larger floor plates in Business Bay.

The payment plan requires 25% on booking, 25% after booking, and 50% upon handover, which concentrates cash flow risk until the stated September 2025 handover. Buyers should verify escrow, Oqood registration, and the current construction status before committing. Oliva's underwriting report, priced free of charge, offers a buy or do-not-buy verdict on a specific unit, which may help a buyer assess whether a particular apartment at DaVinci Tower aligns with their financial position.
