Rise by Athlon Payment Plan — 60/40
On reservation: Two payments, 10% and 5%, both dated the reservation day. Registration (4%) and the AED 5,250 admin fee fall with them
Quoted as 60/40. The opening 15% is two payments that both fall on the reservation date, and another 5% follows thirty days later, so 20% is due inside the first month. The four construction instalments are fixed calendar dates rather than build stages.
Payments go into the project escrow account and your purchase registers at booking. Registration is 4% of the price paid once, plus an AED 5,250 admin fee from Aldar. Aldar 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. The price table above gives the range; these are what it means.
The three-bedroom comes in two forms, 660 sq ft apart. That extra space costs AED 864 a square foot against AED 1,663 for the rest of the home.
Roughly half rate. If a terrace is worth anything to you, buy that type.
A one-bedroom runs up to AED 1,931 per sq ft. The three-bedroom terrace is AED 1,469.
The smallest home is 31% dearer per foot than the largest. Bigger is better value here, which is not true in every building.
Every one-bedroom at Rise is 1,000 sq ft. Prices still run from AED 1,759,000 to AED 1,931,000 — a spread of 9.8% on a fixed floor area.
That gap is layout and position, not space. Compare the plans before you compare the prices.
Entry one-bedroom, AED 1,759,000.
AED 427,410 inside the first month. The plan is quoted as 60/40, and payments one and two both carry the reservation date. Four instalments of 10% then fall about eight months apart, ending January 2029.
The low-rise blocks carry a one-bedroom, a two-bedroom, a two-bedroom with maid's room and a three-bedroom. The towers carry three one-bedroom types, two two-bedroom types, a three-bedroom standard and the three-bedroom terrace.
Every one is drawn, dimensioned and labelled in the floor plan set below, including the terrace type. Compare the one-bedrooms against each other before you choose: they share a floor area and not a layout.
How to read the rateRates here are derived from the confirmed price and size of each home. Sizes are the areas as quoted, and no separate balcony figure is published for this building, so every rate on this page is on the full quoted area.
About This Project
Magenta is the last tower at Rise by Athlon, and it holds 190 apartments. Rise runs to eight buildings in the Athlon community in Dubailand, on the E611 and D54. Handover is December 2029.
The layouts split by building type. The three low-rise blocks carry a one-bedroom, a two-bedroom, a two-bedroom with maid's room and a three-bedroom. The five towers carry three one-bedroom types, two two-bedroom types, a three-bedroom standard and a three-bedroom terrace. The gym sits in a terraced podium that runs down into the central park.
Built around movement
Padel, MUGA and basketball courts, table tennis, rock climbing, a skate park, a pump track, a bike loop and a parklife loop. Lap, family and adult pools with splash pads.
Recovery and quiet
A recovery studio, yoga pavilion and platform, meditation and mindfulness decks, hammocks, a reflexology path and healing gardens. Indoors there is a rhythm room, a mind and body library and a game simulator.
Things a cyclist notices
A cycle workshop on site, a cycling loop through the community, running tracks and a nature trail. This is the reason the community exists, and the service charge runs it whether you use it or not.
The building runs on smart irrigation and waste management, air quality and noise monitoring, sound masking, environmental monitoring for the sports facilities, digital amenity booking and community access control. Photovoltaics, an optimised HVAC system, EV charging, native landscaping and shaded walkways sit behind the LEED Platinum pre-certification and Fitwel certification.
That is a 1,000 sq ft one-bedroom at AED 1,759 per sq ft. The plan is 60/40, registration is 4% plus an AED 5,250 admin fee, and ownership is freehold to all nationalities. We sell at zero commission.
Inside the homes
Porcelain tile to the floors, kitchen countertops and bathrooms. Timber-effect laminate on the doors, kitchen cabinets and shelving, with metal-effect laminate above. A black tinted glass feature cabinet, clear bathroom mirror, grey sanitaryware and metal.
Athlon
Aldar opened Athlon in May 2024 with 1,492 homes. It is the first UAE community to hold LEED Platinum certification for planning and design, and Rise sits inside it on the E611 and D54.
Our Honest Take
No listing-site gloss. This is how we read Rise by Athlon for our own clients — including who should walk away.
Our view is that this plan is not the 60/40 it looks like on paper, and that the terrace type is the best value in the building by a distance.
Payments one and two both fall on the reservation date. That is 15% on day one, and another 5% thirty days later. Add the 4% registration and the AED 5,250 admin fee and AED 427,410 leaves your account inside the first month on the entry home. Everything in circulation calls this a 5% deposit.
The three-bedroom runs in two forms, 2,057 sq ft and 2,717 sq ft. The extra 660 sq ft costs AED 570,000, which is AED 864 a square foot against AED 1,663 for the rest of the home. If a terrace is worth anything to you, it is the cheapest space in the building.
Buy here if you use the amenities. There are forty of them and they are built around movement rather than decoration. You pay to run them whether you use them or not, so the question is honest: will you.
Buy here if December 2029 works for you. Aldar has set the date, and the construction instalments are fixed calendar dates rather than build stages, so you know exactly when money leaves your account.
Buy here if you want Aldar behind it. The company posted AED 16.8 billion of revenue and AED 4.9 billion of net profit in the first half of 2026, on a development backlog of AED 71.6 billion.
Anyone who wants the smallest cheque on day one. Twenty per cent plus the fees inside the first month is a heavier opening than most Dubai off-plan asks. Anyone who needs income before December 2029, because nothing comes back to you until then. Anyone who wants Downtown on the doorstep — the Burj Khalifa is 30 minutes, Jumeirah Beach 30 and the airport 25. And anyone counting on a mortgage to carry it, because off-plan lending caps at 50% and no bank lends you the registration fee.
Why this project
Rise by Athlon Location
Athlon sits in Dubailand, on the E611 and the D54. Rise is the apartment quarter of that community, and Magenta is its last tower.
The drive times are honest about where this is. Dubai International is 25 minutes, the Burj Khalifa 30 and Jumeirah Beach 30. This is not a Downtown address and it does not price like one.
What the location does buy is the community around the building. The cycling loop, the running tracks, the nature trail and the parkland sit inside Athlon rather than a drive away, and the bridge over the parkland connects the two halves on foot and by bike.
Life at Rise by Athlon
About ALDAR
Aldar is Abu Dhabi's largest listed developer. It builds in Dubai through a joint venture with Dubai Holding formed in late 2023, where Dubai Holding contributes the land and Aldar runs the development — concept, design, sales, delivery and management.
The joint venture expanded in June 2026 with AED 38 billion of new developments and around 14,000 homes at Nad Al Sheba and Palm Jebel Ali. Haven, Athlon and The Wilds came out of the same partnership.
In the first half of 2026 revenue rose 8% and net profit 18%. Development sales reached AED 12.1 billion and cash collections AED 7.6 billion.
Athlon opened in May 2024 with 1,492 homes and is the first UAE community to hold LEED Platinum certification for planning and design. Aldar's Abu Dhabi district is Marsa Al Saadiyat on Saadiyat Island.

Every one-bedroom at Rise is 1,000 sq ft, and prices run from AED 1,759,000 to AED 1,931,000. The AED 172,000 spread is layout and position rather than floor area. The towers carry three one-bedroom types and the low-rise blocks carry a fourth.

Is Rise by Athlon freehold?
Yes, for all nationalities. A purchase above AED 2 million also qualifies you for the 10-year Golden Visa.
Can I get a mortgage on an off-plan home at Rise by Athlon?
Up to 50% of the price. That cap applies to every off-plan home in the UAE, and banks cannot lend you the registration fee on top.
Can I sell before handover?
Yes, once you have paid Aldar's threshold and hold a no-objection certificate. The registration fee runs again on the new buyer, and the transfer terms sit in your contract.
