Azul Tower at Athlon by Aldar
One, two and three bedroom apartments in the Rise phase of Athlon by Aldar, Dubailand, on a 5 per cent deposit.
My take on Azul Tower at Athlon
Athlon is Aldar's active living masterplan in Dubailand, built around sport and movement rather than around a mall. Azul is the apartment tower in the Rise phase.
The structure is the headline. Five per cent to book, 55 per cent through the build, 40 per cent on handover in December 2029. On AED 1.35 million that is AED 67,500 plus the 4 per cent Dubai Land Department fee to secure a unit, which is about as little upfront cash as Dubai off plan gets.
A low deposit cuts both ways and it is worth being clear about it. It lowers the barrier to getting in, and it lowers the barrier for everybody else too, which means more of your neighbours at handover will be people who were hoping to sell on rather than people who wanted to own. That tends to show up as resale competition in the handover year.
Who it suits
- Buyers who want minimal cash committed up front
- Investors who like Aldar's covenant but not Haven's location
- Anyone buying into a masterplan early

Prices start at AED 1.35 million for the smallest layout. I send the current price list layout by layout, because the published figures move and the headline price only ever buys the entry unit.
