Inaura Hotel & Residences Payment Plan — 40/60
On booking: DLD 4% and AED 1,020 registration fall at the same time
Forty per cent falls due before handover and 60% on completion. The construction run ends at 900 days from reservation, and the instalments are dated from your booking rather than from a build stage.
Payments go into the project escrow account and your purchase registers through Oqood at booking. Fees on top of the price are 4% to the Dubai Land Department plus AED 1,000 registration and AED 20 in knowledge and innovation charges. At handover there is AED 250 for the title deed and AED 100 to AED 250 for the map. Arada pays us, so you pay no commission. See what you pay in fees in Dubai and Abu Dhabi compared.

Layouts & Specifications
Three things decide which home you want in this building. None of them is the floor.
Two homes on the release share a layout and a size. Four floors apart, they differ by AED 25,000. That is 0.17% of the price per floor.
Buy the outlook you want. The height will not move your budget.
Every published size here is total area, and the balcony runs from 13% to 33% of it depending on the type.
Two homes can carry the same rate per square foot and differ by hundreds of square feet of living space.
One home looks like the best value on the list at AED 4,840 per sq ft. Nearly 29% of it is balcony.
Price it on the space inside the walls and it drops to seventh of eleven.
Radiance four-bedroom, 4,667 sq ft total.
That is 1,550 sq ft of balcony on one home. A Sky Villa sits at the other end of the range at 13.4%. Check the split on your floor plan before you compare this building against one that quotes internal area only.
Eighteen homes, all completing 30 June 2030. Five one-bedrooms from AED 3,620,000 and ten two-bedrooms from AED 6,425,000, then three larger homes: a three-bedroom, a four-bedroom and a five-bedroom duplex.
Those three larger homes face the Burj Khalifa. The 2BR-A layout looks over Business Bay. The one-bedrooms and the remaining two-bedroom layouts face the building.
Arada releases more homes as this list clears, so the live sheet moves faster than any published grid.
How to read the rateRates here are derived from the confirmed price and size of each home. Areas move inside a single type code, so the figure that matters is the one on your unit rather than the one on the type.
About This Project
Inaura is a hotel with homes above it. Arada is building 101 hotel keys and 114 branded residences on a Burj Khalifa view corridor in Downtown Dubai, and MVRDV designed it. Handover is 30 June 2030.
The tower rises from a sculpted plinth with an arched, gallery-like arrival. The facade changes as it climbs: reflective at street level, translucent as it meets the sky. A triple-height sculptural void near the top holds an amenity floor above the city. The residences carry hotel service, and the hotel is Arada's own brand rather than a third-party operator.
Lumen
One to three bedrooms, on open light-led layouts. This is the volume of the building and where the current release starts.
Radiance
Four bedrooms, on larger proportions and a heavier material spec. One sits on the current list, on floor 37, facing the Burj Khalifa.
Sky Villas and the Sky Penthouse
Nine five-bedroom duplexes take a full floor each. Above them sits one six-bedroom Sky Penthouse, across three storeys.
The wellness floor runs double height. It carries the Formative gym, a Grit studio, boxing, dance, yoga and Pilates studios, a bathhouse, sauna and steam rooms, hot, cold and mineral pools, cryotherapy, sound therapy and treatment rooms. Alongside them sit an outdoor pool, a cinema, a podcast recording studio, co-working space, meeting rooms, a lounge, all-day dining and a kids area.
That is a 705 sq ft one-bedroom on the seventeenth floor, at AED 5,135 per sq ft. The plan is 40/60 and the building is LEED Gold precertified. Ownership is freehold to all nationalities. We sell at zero commission.
Downtown Dubai
Dubai Opera, the Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall sit five minutes away, and the Dubai Mall Metro station with them. DIFC Gate and the Museum of the Future are eight. Dubai International is eighteen.
Arada in Dubai
Jouri Hills at Jumeirah Golf Estates, Armani Beach Residences on Palm Jumeirah, W Residences at Dubai Harbour and Arada CBD. Inaura is the launch location for the company's own hotel brand.
Our Honest Take
No listing-site gloss. This is how we read Inaura Hotel & Residences for our own clients — including who should walk away.
Our view is that the schedule is the reason to look at this building, and the balcony split is the number that decides which home you actually want.
Ten per cent down, 10% at 180 days, then 5% at 360, 540, 720 and 900 days. Sixty per cent falls on completion. On the entry home you commit AED 1,593,820 including the DLD fee, against AED 1,810,000 on a schedule that asks half the price before the keys. That is AED 362,000 you keep working elsewhere until 2030.
Every size here is total area, and the balcony is not the same share in every home. It runs from 13.4% on a Sky Villa to 33.2% on a four-bedroom. The lowest rate on the list looks like AED 4,840 per sq ft. Price that home on the space inside its walls and it is AED 6,780, seventh of eleven.
Buy here if you want hotel service in a home you own. The residences run on the hotel's operations, and that is the product. Arada owns the brand, so there is no third-party operator between you and the building.
Buy here if the Burj Khalifa corridor matters to you. The building sits on a permanent view corridor, and three homes on the current list face it: the three-bedroom, the four-bedroom and the five-bedroom duplex.
The floor barely moves the price. Two pairs on the list share a layout and a size, and the step is about AED 6,250 a floor on a one-bedroom and AED 13,750 on a two-bedroom. That is 0.17% and 0.19%. Height is close to free here, so choose on aspect or on height as you prefer and the budget will follow either way.
This is a hotel-managed building running hotel-grade operations, and the service charge reflects what that buys. It is not a plain residential tower either: shared arrival, shared amenity, hotel staff. You need income before 2030 and nothing comes back to you until handover. And off-plan lending caps at 50% of the price, with no bank lending you the 4% DLD fee, so the schedule does the work here rather than the mortgage.
Why this project
Inaura Hotel & Residences Location
Inaura sits in Downtown Dubai, on a Burj Khalifa view corridor. Dubai Opera, the Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall are five minutes away, and the Dubai Mall Metro station sits in the same five minutes, which is what separates this address from most new Dubai launches.
The wider working city is close. DIFC Gate, the Museum of the Future and Dubai Design District are eight minutes. One Central is ten and Dubai Frame twelve. Dubai International is eighteen minutes out.
The view corridor is the part that shapes the price list. Homes here carry one of three outlooks: Burj Khalifa, Business Bay or Building. The three largest homes on the current release face the Burj, the 2BR-A layout looks over Business Bay, and the one-bedrooms and the remaining two-bedroom layouts face the building.
Life at Inaura Hotel & Residences
About ARADA
Arada launched in 2017 and is headquartered in the UAE. It is chaired by Sheikh Sultan bin Ahmed Al Qasimi, with HRH Prince Khaled bin Alwaleed bin Talal Al Saud as Executive Vice Chairman.
Aljada, Masaar and Nasma Residences in Sharjah are the communities behind that delivery number. They are large master-planned developments rather than single towers, which is a different discipline from a Downtown tower and a harder one to run at scale.
The 2025 numbers are up 199% on the year. Revenue reached AED 6.7 billion and EBITDA AED 1.6 billion. In Dubai the company is building Jouri Hills at Jumeirah Golf Estates, Armani Beach Residences on Palm Jumeirah, W Residences at Dubai Harbour and Arada CBD.
For a buyer the relevant part is the balance sheet and the delivery record behind it. Arada builds at scale and has done so for nine years. Its Sharjah forest community is Masaar 3, and Inaura is the launch location for its own hotel brand.

114 branded residences and a 101-key hotel, so 215 in total. The residences are 105 apartments plus 9 Sky Villas.
Who runs the hotel at Inaura?
Arada. Inaura is Arada's own hotel brand rather than a third-party operator.

Up to 50% of the price. That cap applies to every off-plan home in the UAE, and banks cannot lend you the 4% DLD fee on top.
Is Inaura freehold?
Yes, and open to all nationalities. A purchase above AED 2 million also qualifies you for the 10-year Golden Visa.
Can I sell before handover?
Yes, once you have paid Arada's threshold and hold a no-objection certificate. The 4% registers again on the new buyer, and the transfer terms sit in your contract.
Do I pay you a commission?
No. Arada pays us.
