Projects in The Crescent

Where AED 23 Million Is the Midpoint: New Projects in The Crescent, Palm Jumeirah

The Crescent runs along the outer arc of Palm Jumeirah, forming the barrier ring that encloses the trunk and fronds. Within Palm Jumeirah, it occupies the most exposed position, facing open water on both sides, and that exposure shapes everything about the projects here: scale, pricing, and who builds.

With 10 projects currently listed across names like ELA Residences, Orla by Omniyat, Six Senses Residences, and The Alba Residences, The Crescent carries one of the highest concentrations of ultra-prime inventory anywhere in Dubai. Buyer choice exists here, but every option sits firmly in the upper end of the Palm Jumeirah market.

The Price Range and What Drives It

The median asking price is AED 23,336,959. That is not a median distorted by a single outlier; it reflects the character of the address. Entry points start at AED 4,299,606, with the top of the market reaching AED 100,000,000. The spread is wide, and it follows property type closely.

Apartments account for the majority of project count and represent the relative entry point for The Crescent. Duplexes match apartments in count and typically serve buyers after larger floor plates without committing to a standalone villa. Penthouses and villas skew the upper range significantly; buyers in those categories are generally looking at AED 20 million and above. The mix suggests The Crescent primarily serves high-net-worth buyers rather than first-time investors.

Seven Developers, Ten Projects

Seven developers are active across these 10 projects, which means almost every project here comes from a different name. Omniyat Group and Ellington are the most recognised, alongside AHS Properties, Alpago Properties, Amali Properties, Roya Lifestyle Development, and Select Group. This fragmentation means build quality, specification levels, and management standards will vary between developments. A buyer comparing two projects on The Crescent should review each developer's track record individually rather than treating the address as a homogenous product.

Delivery and Entry Costs

Some projects have already reached completion: the earliest handover date on record is September 2024, meaning units may already be delivered or close to transfer. Buyers targeting those projects should confirm current status directly. The off-plan window extends to March 2028 for the latest projects, giving buyers entering now a timeline of roughly two years to handover on newer launches.

Down payment requirements start at 5%, which sits at the low end for Dubai off-plan. None of the current projects carry post-handover payment plans, so buyers should expect the payment schedule to run through to completion rather than beyond it.

The amenity pattern across The Crescent leans toward resident comfort and privacy: shared spas, pools, and restaurant access are consistent features alongside gyms and children's facilities. This pairing suggests developments here target both long-term residents and buyers who plan to use the property seasonally, rather than short-stay investors.
