Aras Group
Ninety one- to three-bedroom apartments in Al Jaddaf, dated Q2 2028 — with the same project page also showing a Q2 2026 release window and “from AED 560,000” for every Aras project.
Aras shows “from AED 560,000” on the Joud, Jamal and Aras Residence pages alike, which reads as a template placeholder rather than a real entry price. Treat it as indicative only and ask for the launch price list. Unit count and the Q2 2028 date are the developer’s; the Q2 2026 release window on the same page is his too.
Joud is Aras Group’s move out of Majan and into Al Jaddaf: 90 apartments of one, two and three bedrooms on the creek side, with a Q2 2028 completion. It is the developer’s largest project by unit count after Aras Residence, and the first one where the pitch is location rather than specification.
The description is short and mostly thematic — “a refined creekside community blending lifestyle, art, and future-ready living”, with wellness, work and leisure facilities — and there is no amenity list, no floor area and no price list behind it. What the page does give is a release window of Q2 2026 and a status of Q2 2028, which are two different dates doing two different jobs on the same screen.
Al Jaddaf is the reason to look. It sits along Dubai Creek between Downtown and Dubai Festival City, ten minutes from Burj Khalifa by the developer’s own estimate, with the creek, the Culture Village waterfront and the healthcare cluster around it. The district has been the city’s quiet value play for a decade: cheaper per square foot than Downtown, better connected than most of Dubailand, and increasingly built up rather than promised.
What to weigh. Three things. First, the dates — a Q2 2026 release is plausible for a project completing in Q2 2028, but Aras has not marked this as launched, so ask whether any units have been released and at what price. Second, the “from AED 560,000” figure appears on three different project pages, which suggests it is not specific to Joud. Third, the marketing on the sister project talks openly about “ROI potential” and investing “before the boom” — that is a sales line, not a projection, and no return or appreciation is promised here.

Aras publishes no floor areas and no plans for Joud on the project page. For a building at this stage that is normal — plans usually follow the launch — but it means there is nothing to compare yet. Ask for the unit schedule before you take a price as meaningful.
No payment plan is published for Joud. “From AED 560,000” is shown as the entry point, but the same figure appears on two other Aras project pages, so treat it as a template value until the price list is issued.
When a plan does arrive, the questions are the usual ones and they matter more in Al Jaddaf, where entry prices are higher than Majan: what percentage is due before 30% construction, what is retained until handover, and whether any part sits post-handover. Ask for the escrow account and the Oqood registration route in the same conversation.
Aras describes “premium wellness, work and leisure facilities” without listing them. No amenity schedule is published.
On a creekside building the facilities and the service charge are the two things that decide whether it is a good place to live and a good thing to own. Ask what is planned, who operates it, and what the developer’s estimate per square foot is — before the launch price is set, because it is easier to influence then than later.
Al Jaddaf, on Dubai Creek between Downtown Dubai and Dubai Festival City. Aras puts Burj Khalifa at about ten minutes and Dubai Marina at fifteen.
The district’s advantages are the creek frontage, the proximity to Downtown and DIFC, the metro along the creek side and the healthcare cluster at Al Jaddaf. Its weakness is that it is still filling in, so the view and the traffic on your particular plot line depend on what is built next door. Ask what is zoned around the site.

Aras shows “from AED 560,000”, but the same figure appears on two other Aras project pages, so it looks like a template value. Ask for the launch price list before treating it as real.
Q2 2028 according to the status line. The same page also shows a Q2 2026 release window, which is when units are expected to come to market rather than when the building is finished.

90, in one-, two- and three-bedroom configurations.
It is one of the better-connected mid-price districts in Dubai — creek frontage, close to Downtown and DIFC, with the metro along the creek side. The trade-offs are that it is still being built out and that supply in the district is rising, which affects rent and resale timing.
