Availability moves daily. An advisor will confirm and can place a hold on your behalf.
What does your budget buy here?
Set a figure and we will match it against what is still available in this project.
Off-plan mortgages are arranged at handover, against the completed home.
The service charge starts at handover, not at purchase, and the first year is usually pro-rated from the day you collect the keys. In Dubai the budget behind it is filed with the Mollak system each year, so the rate is reviewed once the building is occupied and can move from the launch figure.
You will get the unit number, floor, size and exact price for each — not the whole building.

Good to know
Straight answers from the developer's published terms, checked 8 Oct 2026.
What is the payment plan for Mackerel Tower?
+
Payment Plan 35/65 (10% Discount): 35% on booking, 0% during construction and 65% on handover. 2 payment plans are offered in total.
How much is the booking amount for Mackerel Tower?
+
35% of the purchase price falls due on booking — from AED 988,061 on the lowest-priced home. A bank or a broker may call the same figure the reservation deposit or the down payment; it is one and the same first instalment, and it is paid to the developer rather than to us.
When does Mackerel Tower hand over?
+
Handover is scheduled for Q3 2026. Construction is 35.1% complete.
What do homes in Mackerel Tower cost?
+
Homes currently available start from AED 2,823,031 and range up to AED 2,995,230 for 2 bed homes. These are the prices of the homes released for sale through our live feed today, not the launch prices — earlier and cheaper releases may have sold out.
How much does each bedroom size cost at Mackerel Tower?
+
Published starting prices by layout are 2 bed from AED 2,794,269; 4 bed from AED 8,945,236. Those are the entry price for each size — floor, view and the exact layout move the figure, and the current price list carries the price of every remaining unit.
Is there a price list for Mackerel Tower?
+
Yes. Ask for it on this page and the developer’s own price list is emailed to you — unit number, floor, exact size, price and price per square foot for every home still available. 4 homes were unsold at the last check on 8 Oct 2026.
Who is the developer of Mackerel Tower?
+
Mackerel Tower is developed by Tarrad Development in Dubai Islands · Dubai · United Arab Emirates.
What is the service charge at Mackerel Tower?
+
The published service charge at Mackerel Tower is 17 AED/sqft, billed once a year. On the smallest published layout, 1,290 sqft, that is roughly AED 21,930 a year. It starts at handover and the first year is usually pro-rated from the day you collect the keys. In Dubai the annual budget behind the charge is filed with the Mollak system, so the figure is reviewed each year once the building is occupied. Checked 8 Oct 2026.
Is my money protected when buying off-plan at Mackerel Tower?
+
Tarrad Development has registered an escrow account for Mackerel Tower. In the UAE an off-plan instalment is paid into the project’s escrow account rather than to the developer directly, and is released against construction progress the regulator has verified. We do not publish the account number — your sale agreement and the developer’s own payment instructions carry it.
Does buying in Mackerel Tower qualify for a UAE Golden Visa?
+
With homes currently available from AED 2,823,031, homes here meet the AED 2,000,000 property investment threshold for the 10-year Golden Visa. Since February 2026, off-plan and mortgaged purchases can qualify on a certified valuation — our advisors can confirm eligibility for a specific unit.
