My take on Creek Bay
Creek Bay is an Emaar waterfront building set among walkways and gardens, with a promenade of shops and restaurants close by.
Creek Harbour is one of Emaar's two flagship masterplans. Its infrastructure, parks and promenade are already in place, and a Metro extension is planned, which is what I look for when buying off plan.
Who it suits
- Investors who want waterfront in an established Emaar masterplan
- Tenants working in Downtown and Business Bay
- A medium to long hold
What to weigh up
- A limited number of homes remained when I last checked
- Several Creek Harbour towers complete in the same period
- A handover in 2030 means a long wait for rental income
