Amali Residences

About Amali Residences

Amali Residences is the developer’s move off the island and into the city. The official site introduces it in a single line — “Where water mirrors the sky” — and describes “contemporary, heritage-inspired apartments, podium villas, duplexes and penthouses on Dubai Canal”. Beyond that the developer’s website is still at preview stage; the project itself launched in 2026 and most of what is known comes from its launch material.

On that material it is a twin-tower scheme on the Dubai Water Canal at Al Wasl, co-developed by Amali Properties with AHS Properties, and designed by Killa Design — the studio behind the Museum of the Future — with interiors by HBA Residential, landscaping by SquareM Design and engineering by AE7. The published ambition is a 48-floor composition above five podium levels, with about 54,000 square feet of amenities spread across three podiums the project names The Social, The Club and The Retreat.

The specification is what separates it from the rest of the canal. Every residence is set to have a private pool on its terrace and 5.5-metre floor-to-floor ceilings — roughly a floor and a half of height in a market where 3.2 metres is normal. Palettes are drawn from the Gulf, the desert and the canal: Mother-of-Pearl for the penthouses, Blue Mountain marble for the five-bedroom homes, Cipollino Verde for the fours and Rosso Orobico for the threes. Gaggenau appliances and Joseph Giles ironmongery are specified.

What to hold lightly. The published figures do not all agree. Residence counts appear as both 211 and 208; starting prices as both AED 14.5 million and AED 15.3 million; handover as Q4 2029 in launch material and Q4 2030 in later registry-based reporting. That is normal for a project in its first year, but it means every number on this page needs confirming against the current price list, not the brochure.

Unit types and prices

Sizes and starting prices as published in the project’s launch material in 2026. The developer’s own site publishes none of them. Confirm the live availability and price for a specific residence before making a decision.

What is published, and what is not

Amali Properties’ own website carries a teaser for this project and little else: no unit count, no sizes, no prices, no payment plan and no handover date. Everything quantitative below comes from the project’s launch material and market reporting, and is presented as reported.

Compiled from the project’s launch material and broker coverage in 2026. The developer has not published a price list on its own site. We verify every figure against the developer’s current list before advising.

Price and payment plan

Reported structure: 60/40 — 60% paid across construction in milestone instalments, 40% on handover. Starting prices are reported at AED 14.5 million for a two-bedroom, rising to on-request pricing for penthouses and podium villas.

Two things to check. First, the completion share: 40% at handover on an AED 27 million four-bedroom is nearly AED 11 million falling due at once, and the handover date is the number that has already moved once. Second, the milestone sequence — how many instalments, spaced how far apart, and whether any are tied to construction progress rather than calendar dates.

The 4% Dubai Land Department fee is additional, as are the developer’s administration charge and the first year of service charges. Service charge has been quoted in the market at around AED 33 per square foot per year — at 5.5-metre ceilings and private pools that is plausible rather than alarming, but it is a large annual bill and worth budgeting properly.

Plan and prices as reported. The developer’s site publishes no payment terms. We obtain the executed schedule for the specific residence before any reservation.

Amenities

The amenities sit across three podiums the project calls The Social, The Club and The Retreat, and the list is deliberately family-weighted as well as wellness-weighted — a crèche and waterpark alongside the onsen and cigar lounge. The developer’s own site does not publish an amenity list for this project; this is the reported schedule.

Amenities as published in the project’s launch material. Confirm which are included in service charge and which are chargeable.

Where it is

• Al Wasl, Dubai Water Canal — the canal runs 3.2 km from Business Bay to the Gulf at Jumeirah, passing under Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Wasl Road. The developer describes the setting as “on Dubai Canal”; project material places it in Al Wasl.
• Published travel times — 8 minutes to Burj Khalifa and Downtown, 12 to DIFC, 16 to Dubai International Airport and Dubai Harbour, 18 to Palm Jumeirah.
• What that buys you — a genuine city-centre address with water in front of it, rather than a beach address an hour from work. The trade is the beach.

Travel times are from the project’s launch material. We check the morning drive on the day you would make it — Al Wasl Road and the Sheikh Zayed Road interchange are the two variables.

At a glance

• Twin towers on the Dubai Water Canal at Al Wasl, co-developed with AHS Properties.
• Reported 211 residences across 48 residential floors, two to six bedrooms.
• A private pool and 5.5-metre ceilings in every home — the defining specification.
• Killa Design architecture, HBA interiors, roughly 54,000 sq ft of amenities.
• Reported from AED 14.5 million, on a 60/40 plan.
• Reported handover Q4 2029, with later reporting pointing to Q4 2030 — check which.

What we verify before you reserve

• Which entity holds the land — the project is reported to sit under an Amali subsidiary alongside AHS Properties, and the contracting party should say so on the reservation form.
• The live price list, not the launch figure: 211 or 208 residences, AED 14.5 or 15.3 million, Q4 2029 or Q4 2030. Every one of those has been published both ways.
• The payment milestones — dates, percentages, and whether they are tied to construction progress.
• Service charge, quoted around AED 33 per square foot a year, and what it covers across three amenity podiums and private pools.
• The view you are paying for — canal, Downtown or Gulf — and whether a later phase or a neighbouring plot can take it.
• The 5.5-metre ceiling as built, not as rendered: it is the project’s headline claim and it changes the service charge, the cooling load and the maintenance.
• Escrow and registration with the Dubai Land Department, and the construction stage at the time you reserve.
