Cove Grand by Imtiaz: Prices, Payment Plans & Handover for Brisbane Buyers

Quick Answer

• Furnished Dubailand apartments by Imtiaz Developments.

• Studios listed from AED 690,000.

• Two payment plans, one post-handover.

• Completion scheduled for Q4 2027.

• Check progress on DLD before paying.

Picture a fully furnished studio in a new Dubai tower, with a rooftop pool and smart-home controls. Now picture paying for it in stages, with part of the cost due after you get the keys. For a Brisbane investor, that pitch can sound almost too easy.

Cove Grand by Imtiaz is a new apartment tower in Dubailand, and the answer to whether it suits you starts with the facts. Imtiaz publishes its starting prices, sizes, payment plans and completion date on its own website. Dubai's Land Department (DLD) lets you check the project online, and its off-plan register accepts non-resident buyers.

This guide covers the developer and the tower, the listed prices and DLD costs, both payment plans and the build progress. It also compares Cove Grand with Cove Boulevard, Imtiaz's other new tower nearby, and lists the checks to run before you commit.

Cove Grand by Imtiaz Explained

First, here is who is building the tower, what you would own, and where it sits.

Who Is Imtiaz

Imtiaz's About Us and project pages give these details about the developer:

• Start: the company says it began as a construction business in 1993.

• Size: it says it has more than 40 developments.

• Communities: its website lists JVC, Al Furjan, Jumeirah Garden City, Dubai Islands and the Dubai Land Residence Complex (DLRC).

• DLRC cluster: Cove by Imtiaz, Cove Editions I to 5, Cove Boulevard and Cove Grand.

Knowing the developer's wider pipeline matters, because an off-plan buyer is paying for a promise to build. Later in this guide, you will see how far each of those DLRC towers has progressed.

The Tower

Imtiaz's Cove Grand describes a 21-storey residential tower. Here is how it is laid out:

• Structure: one basement, ground floor, three podium levels, 17 residential floors and a rooftop.

• Homes: studios plus one, two and three bedroom apartments.

• Fit-out: fully furnished, with smart-home systems that work with Alexa.

• Use: residential only, with no office floors.

Imtiaz also lists these shared facilities:

• Infinity swimming pool and kids' pool.

• Rooftop sundeck and cabanas.

• Fully equipped gym and clubhouse.

• Mini-golf court and open-air cinema.

• Kids' play area and BBQ spaces.

• Poolside bar, outdoor seating and a running track.

A furnished unit can reduce setup work for an owner living overseas. Next, look at what sits around the building.

Cove Grand Location

Imtiaz places Cove Grand in Dubailand, inside a family-friendly community next to green open spaces. The developer names these nearby places:

• Dubai Outlet Mall.

• Global Village.

• IMG Worlds of Adventure.

• Academic City.

• Silicon Oasis.

• Roads: Emirates Road and Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road.

A future rail link also matters here. Gulf News reported these details of RTA's Metro Blue Line:

• Length: 30 km, with 14 stations.

• Opening: operations due to start on 9 September 2029.

• Areas served: The route includes Academic City and Silicon Oasis.

The Blue Line will not stop at Cove Grand itself, but it will serve two areas Imtiaz lists as nearby.

Cove Grand is a furnished, residential-only tower from a developer that has worked in Dubai since 1993. Its location offers road access now and a planned metro line nearby later. With that background set, the next step is the numbers.

Cove Grand Prices and Sizes

This section covers the listed prices, their price per square foot, and the DLD fees on top.

Starting Prices

Imtiaz lists a starting price and starting size for each home type. The table below uses those figures, checked on 23 October 2026.

Here is what the table shows at a glance:

• Lowest entry: a studio, listed from AED 690,000.

• Studio to 1 bedroom: AED 298,000 more at starting prices.

• 1 bedroom to 2 bedroom: AED 442,000 more at starting prices.

• 2 bedroom to 3 bedroom: AED 490,000 more at starting prices.

These are starting figures only, and larger units or higher floors can cost more. Next, break each price down by size.

Price Per Foot

Dividing each starting price by its starting size gives a rough price per square foot. These figures are worked out from Imtiaz's listed numbers, not quoted by Imtiaz:

• Studio: about AED 1,788 per sq ft.

• 1 bedroom: about AED 1,397 per sq ft.

• 2 bedroom: about AED 1,115 per sq ft.

• 3 bedroom: about AED 1,180 per sq ft.

To test these figures against real sales, use our guide on how to know if a Dubai property price is fair. Government fees then add to your upfront cost.

Upfront DLD Costs

Off-plan sales in Dubai go on DLD's provisional register through the Oqood system. DLD's initial sale registration page lists these fees and rules:

• Seller's share: 2% of the sale value.

• Purchaser's share: 2% of the sale value.

• Extra fees: AED 10 knowledge fee and AED 10 innovation fee.

• Deadline: the contract must be registered within 90 days of signing.

• Non-residents: buyers provide a copy of a valid passport.

• Who registers: the developer registers off-plan units through the Oqood portal.

• Result: DLD emails the registration output to the purchaser.

DLD lists a 2% share for each side. Ask Imtiaz in writing how much of the total you will pay on your contract.

The listed prices, the price per square foot and the DLD fees together show your real starting cost. Prices in dirhams also move against the Australian dollar, so check the current rate with your bank before you pay. With the purchase cost clear, the next question is how and when you pay it.

Payment Plans and Handover

Both of Imtiaz's payment plans are tied to the build, so progress matters as much as price.

Two Plan Options

Imtiaz lists two payment plans for Cove Grand:

• Option 1 (50/50): 50% during construction and 50% on completion.

• Option 2 (post-handover): 70% up to completion, then 30% over three years after handover, in quarterly instalments.

The table below applies both plans to the studio's starting price. It is a worked example only, as your contract sets the real schedule.

Before you choose a plan, ask Imtiaz these questions in writing:

• Which plan does your quoted price apply to?

• What are the exact due dates for each instalment?

• What happens to the schedule if handover moves?

• Is there a lower price for paying more upfront?

The post-handover plan can let rent from a tenant help cover later payments. However, it also means you still owe money after you take the keys.

Construction Progress

Imtiaz's page for the tower gives two key figures:

• Progress: 15% overall, as shown on 23 October 2026.

• Estimated completion: Q4 2027.

A developer's progress figure is useful, but it is not the official record. DLD's Project Status Enquiry gives you an independent check:

• What it shows: a project's completion percentage and details.

• How to search: by land number, project number, or project name.

• Where to use it: the DLD website or the Dubai REST app.

Run this check before each payment, not just once. Imtiaz's nearby towers show why that habit matters.

Handover Timeline

The table below shows every Cove tower in DLRC, with progress and completion dates from Imtiaz's own pages on 23 October 2026.

Read the table with three points in mind:

• Progress: each percentage is Imtiaz's own figure, not DLD's record.

• Dates: each completion quarter is Imtiaz's own estimate.

• Cove Grand: at 15%, it is one of the two least advanced towers in the cluster.

• Example: Cove Edition I still showed 91% after the end of Q3 2026; it's listed as the completion quarter.

Compare each progress figure with its estimated date. Ask Imtiaz for an updated handover date in writing, and confirm it on DLD.

Two payment plans give you a choice between finishing payments at handover or spreading them after it. Imtiaz's own pages show progress on every Cove tower, so you can compare its dates with real build stages. That comparison matters most when you weigh Cove Grand against Cove Boulevard.

Cove Grand vs Cove Boulevard

Imtiaz is selling two new DLRC towers at once. This section compares them using only facts from its Cove Grand and Cove Boulevard pages.

Key Differences

The table below compares the two towers.

The clearest difference is price information. Imtiaz lists Cove Grand's prices online but has not published prices for Cove Boulevard.

Unit Mix

Cove Boulevard is weighted heavily towards studios. Imtiaz lists this unit split:

• Studios: 172 units.

• 1 bedroom: 62 units.

• 2 bedroom: 48 units.

• 3 bedroom: 5 units.

• Offices: 149 units.

Cove Grand offers the same four home types, but Imtiaz does not list how many of each. Ask for the unit count if a building's tenant mix matters to you.

Payment Terms

The two towers use different main plans, but the same post-handover option:

• Cove Grand: 50/50, or 70% to completion with 30% over three years after handover.

• Cove Boulevard: 60/40, or 70% to completion with 30% over three years after handover.

• Fit-out: Imtiaz describes both as offering fully furnished residences.

• Access: Imtiaz lists E66 and E611 access for Cove Boulevard.

Cove Grand's 50/50 plan puts more of the cost at completion than Boulevard's 60/40 plan. Both post-handover options work the same way.

Cove Grand is the smaller, residential-only tower, with published prices and an earlier completion date. Cove Boulevard is taller, mixed-use, and further from completion. Without Boulevard's prices, Cove Grand is the easier of the two to assess today.

Checks Before Brisbane Buyers Commit

Before you pay, confirm Imtiaz's figures with DLD and your own advisers.

Verify the Project

Run these checks in order:

• Search the project on DLD's Project Status Enquiry.

• Confirm that your contract is registered within DLD's 90-day deadline.

• Ask for the project's escrow account details in writing.

• Pay only into that escrow account, never a personal account.

• Keep copies of your Oqood registration and every payment receipt.

Our guide to escrow accounts in Dubai explains how this protection works. Our guide on how to check a Dubai property listing is genuine covers the broker and permit checks.

Golden Visa Rules

Many buyers ask whether a Cove Grand unit leads to residency. DLD's investor Golden Visa page sets these conditions:

• The property value must be at least AED 2 million at the time of purchase.

• One or more properties can count if wholly owned in your name.

• DLD lists a title deed among the required documents.

• The applicant must be inside the UAE to apply.

• DLD lists total fees of AED 9,884.75 for the 10-year permit.

Every Cove Grand starting price sits below AED 2 million, so one unit at those prices will not reach the threshold alone. Ask how DLD's title deed rule applies to an off-plan purchase before you rely on residency.

Running Costs

Plan for these running costs from the start:

• Service charges: DLD's Service Charge Index shows RERA-approved service fees for jointly owned buildings, searchable by project name, use and year.

• Timing: check the tower's approved fees there once the building is registered and its fees are set.

• Developer estimate: Imtiaz's page does not list service charges, so ask for an estimate in writing.

• Other off-plan costs: our guide to off-plan Dubai property listings covers the rest.

Knowing these costs early helps you compare them with other projects fairly.

Checking the project, the visa rules and the running costs protects you from the most common surprises. Each check uses an official source you can reach from Brisbane. With these in place, you can judge Cove Grand on facts rather than a sales pitch.

Final Thoughts on Cove Grand

Cove Grand gives Brisbane buyers a furnished, residential-only option in Dubailand, with published prices from AED 690,000. Its 50/50 and post-handover plans spread the cost. Its completion is scheduled for Q4 2027, and Imtiaz's other Cove towers show why that date deserves regular checks.
