UNA Apartments, Town Square: 80% of the Price After Handover
Nshama's UNA Apartments sits in Town Square, a residential community in southwestern Dubai built by the same developer. The project offers studios and one-bedroom apartments with a payment structure that puts most of the cost after delivery: 20% down, with 80% due post-handover. That defers the majority of the financial commitment to after the property is in hand.
Construction began in April 2024. The project targeted completion in September 2025, a date that has now passed. UNA Apartments is either at or near handover today.
What AED 425,000 Gets You Here
Studios start at AED 425,625. One-bedroom apartments start at AED 578,136. The pricing is consistent within each category: all studios share the same opening figure, and so do all one-bedrooms regardless of layout.
Studios come in three layouts (ST-A, ST-B, ST-C) from 338 sq ft to 539 sq ft. The ST-A at 338 sq ft is minimal, suited to an investor rather than someone planning to live here full-time. The ST-B at 539 sq ft provides more usable space within the studio format.
One-bedroom units span five layouts from 479 sq ft to 714 sq ft. All open at AED 578,136. The larger layouts (types 1-C, 1-D, and 1-E at 695 to 714 sq ft) offer significantly more floor area at the same starting price as the compact options.
At the 20% down payment level: a studio requires around AED 85,125 at signing, and a one-bedroom around AED 115,627.
Town Square: The Location Reality
UNA Apartments is in Town Square, accessible from Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road. Commuting to Downtown Dubai or Business Bay takes roughly 30 to 40 minutes by road. Dubai International Airport is a similar distance to the northeast.
At AED 425,000 to AED 578,000, this is among the more affordable apartment pricing in Dubai. Distance from the main commercial districts is the trade-off. The community layout at Town Square includes parks, retail, restaurants, and a children's play area, so residents have practical daily needs covered without extended travel.
What's Inside
| Category | Amenities |
|---|---|
| Fitness and Sport | Gymnasium, Tennis Courts |
| Outdoor Space | Landscaped Parks |
| Family | Children's Play Area |
| Food and Retail | Cafe and Restaurants, Restaurants, Retail Facilities |
Seven amenities at this price point covers the practical range. Tennis courts alongside a gym extends the fitness offering beyond a basic fitness room. The food and retail component is the more notable element: cafes, restaurants, and retail within the development reduce the need to travel for everyday errands. The children's play area points to a project aimed at families and longer-term residents rather than short-term occupants.
September 2025: Construction Timeline
Construction started in April 2024, with the expected completion set for September 2025. That date has now passed. UNA Apartments has either been delivered or is in its final stages. For a buyer committing now, the construction phase is effectively behind them.
20% Now, 80% After You Have the Keys
| Payment Stage | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 20% |
| Post handover | 80% |
The structure puts the bulk of the purchase price after the property is delivered. For an investor, that means the possibility of rental income arriving before the 80% payment falls due. For an owner-occupier, the balance is settled while already in residence. Given that the completion date has passed, buyers may be entering a delivered or near-delivered project while still holding most of the purchase price in reserve.
The 20% component is the entry requirement at signing. The 80% post-handover split is the element that distinguishes this plan. Buyers fund 20% upfront and settle the remainder after the property is delivered.
