What is Equiti Gate?
Equiti Gate
is an off-plan residential project by Refine Development in Jabal Ali Industrial Second, Dubai. It is listed through Oliva, a RERA-licensed buyer-side brokerage with BRN 1573501. The available price data covers 15 units, all of which are below the AED 2,500,000 threshold. The recorded price range runs from AED 731,204 for the cheapest studio to AED 1,134,260 for the most expensive one-bedroom.
Handover
is recorded as December 2024. Because the current year is 2026, the recorded [handover date](/learn/glossary/handover-date) is earlier than the current year, so buyers should verify the project's actual handover status before relying on the timeline. the published project facts do not state the total number of units in the project, only the 15 units with pricing data.
Payment plan terms
The main payment plan has three milestones: 5% on booking, 25% after booking, and 70% upon handover. The first two milestones are 5% on booking and 25% after booking. The final 70% is due upon handover.
The recorded handover is December 2024. Since the current year is 2026, that date is earlier than the current year. Buyers should confirm whether handover has occurred and what that means for the remaining 70% payment. The plan has no separate construction-linked instalments beyond those three milestones, which concentrates the majority of the cash outflow at handover. The available data does not state a post-handover plan or any grace period, so those terms should be verified in the sale and purchase agreement.
Unit types and prices
The unit price table contains two configurations. Studios: four units, priced from AED 731,204 to AED 739,667, with sizes from 362 to 370 square feet. One-bedroom apartments: 11 units, priced from AED 992,854 to AED 1,134,260, with sizes from 598 to 735 square feet.
The overall minimum price is AED 731,204 and the overall maximum is AED 1,134,260. All 15 priced units sit at or under the AED 2,500,000 threshold. the current listing data confirms 15 units priced in total and 15 units under AED 2,500,000, meaning every listed unit fits within the sub-AED 2.5 million band.
The listed mix is limited to studios and one-bedrooms. No larger configurations appear in the table. The one-bedroom minimum is AED 992,854 and the maximum is AED 1,134,260. 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.
Jabal Ali Industrial Second as a location
Jabal Ali Industrial Second is the area given in the current listing data. The area name suggests an industrial setting, but the JSON does not include any area-level price or rental aggregates. Buyers should independently check current asking prices, rental levels and transport links for Jabal Ali Industrial Second before using location as a decision factor.
No area aggregates exist in the facts, so any claim about area performance would be unverified. Proximity to main roads, metro access, supermarkets and schools should be confirmed directly with the developer's material and DLD records.

Before you sign anything
Escrow. Verify that the project has a DLD-approved escrow account under Dubai Law No. (8) of 2007. Ask for the escrow account details and confirm them with the Dubai Land Department. Payments should be directed to that account.
Oqood registration. Ensure the sale is registered through Oqood, the DLD's off-plan registration system. A buyer should receive Oqood confirmation after signing. If registration is delayed, clarify the impact on the payment schedule before the next instalment.
Service charges. No service charge figure is stated in the published project facts. Request the RERA-approved service charge budget for Equiti Gate and confirm what it covers before committing.
Handover date confirmation. The recorded handover is December 2024, which is before the current year 2026. Obtain written confirmation of the actual handover status, completion certificate and any extension provisions.
Payment plan enforceability. Review the sale and purchase agreement to confirm the 5% on booking, 25% after booking and 70% upon handover milestones are binding. Check what happens if handover is delayed beyond the recorded date and whether the final 70% remains tied to handover. The Dubai Land Department transfer fee is 4%.
Summing up
Equiti Gate is a compact off-plan offering in Jabal Ali Industrial Second with all listed units priced below AED 2,500,000. The recorded prices are relatively low in absolute dirham terms for Dubai apartments, but the area is given as Jabal Ali Industrial Second and no area-level comparables are provided. The product mix is limited to studios and one-bedrooms, which may suit first-time buyers or those seeking a low absolute price point.
The payment plan is unusual in that 70% is due only at handover, which reduces upfront cash but creates a large final instalment. The handover date of December 2024 is before the current year 2026, so any assessment must first resolve whether the project has actually handed over. For a specific unit, the free Oliva underwriting report delivers a buy or do-not-buy verdict based on unit-level data, location and payment plan.
