Altan by Emaar is a 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartment and townhouse community in the Green Gate District of Dubai Creek Harbour, Dubai, developed by Emaar Properties. The 58 storey waterfront tower starts at AED 1.81 million, with handover scheduled for Q3 2029. It sits along Dubai Creek, opposite the Downtown skyline and five minutes from the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary.
Altan by Emaar is a 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartment and townhouse community in the Green Gate District of Dubai Creek Harbour, Dubai, developed by Emaar Properties. The project rises as a 58 storey waterfront tower with a small collection of townhouses at its base, set along the banks of Dubai Creek and facing the Downtown Dubai skyline. Emaar Properties is the developer behind Downtown Dubai, Burj Khalifa, The Dubai Mall, Dubai Hills Estate and Arabian Ranches, which gives Altan at Dubai Creek Harbour a delivery record buyers can check rather than take on trust. The address pairs a green, water led setting with quick road, metro and water taxi access to the rest of the city.
Homes at Altan come in 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments, plus a limited run of 3 bedroom townhouses. Apartment sizes run from 754 to 1,848 square feet, while the 3 bedroom townhouses sit around 4,080 to 4,166 square feet for buyers who want more ground level space. Every apartment uses floor to ceiling glass and an open plan layout, so the Creek, the wildlife sanctuary and the city skyline read across the living space rather than a facing wall. The 1 bedroom suits a first home or a rental unit at Dubai Creek Harbour, the 2 bedroom fits couples and small families, and the 3 bedroom apartments and townhouses give growing families room to spread out by the water.
Altan sits inside Dubai Creek Harbour, the Emaar masterplan that stretches across roughly 1,483 acres along the historic Dubai Creek, directly opposite Downtown Dubai. The Green Gate District around Altan is planned around parks, the waterfront promenade and open green space, with the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary about five minutes away for residents who want flamingos and protected wetland on their doorstep. A normal day can mix a run on the jogging track, a swim, and a walk along the Creek before a short drive to Downtown for work. The community connects by road, metro and water taxi, so a waterfront address never cuts a resident off from the rest of Dubai.
Few addresses in Dubai put a protected wildlife sanctuary and the Downtown skyline within the same short drive.
Altan by Emaar starts at AED 1.81 million for a 1 bedroom apartment, which at about 754 square feet works out near AED 2,400 per square foot. That sits close to the Dubai Creek Harbour apartment average of roughly AED 2,500 per square foot, so the entry price enters the community at the going area rate rather than above it. The development is freehold, so UAE nationals and overseas buyers hold full title. Apartments and townhouses priced from AED 2 million clear the threshold for the UAE 10 year Golden Visa, which appeals to NRI and international buyers planning a long stay. Dubai Creek Harbour also carries steady tenant demand, with one and two bedroom apartments in the community generating gross rental yields in the region of 6 to 7 per cent.
Altan at Dubai Creek Harbour is an off plan project with handover scheduled for Q3 2029, which gives a buyer time to plan payments before completion. The booking amount is 10 per cent, and the staged plan spreads the rest across construction and handover, so the upfront cost stays low for an Emaar waterfront home. Off plan stock at the opening price band in Dubai Creek Harbour tends to move first, and Emaar launches in this community have a record of price growth between launch and handover. If a 1, 2 or 3 bedroom Altan home fits what you are after, the practical next step is to request the current Altan floor plans and the live availability list, then weigh a specific unit against the payment plan before you reserve.
Altan floor plans cover 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments plus 3 bedroom townhouses, with apartment layouts running from 754 to 1,848 square feet. The 1 bedroom apartments start around 754 square feet, the 2 bedroom apartments come in two layouts near 1,180 and 1,453 square feet, and the 3 bedroom apartments reach about 1,848 square feet. Each Altan layout uses an open plan living and dining space with floor to ceiling glass that frames the Creek, the Downtown skyline or the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary. Buyers who want more space can look at the 3 bedroom townhouses at Altan, which sit around 4,080 to 4,166 square feet across multiple levels with private ground level access. Every Altan floor plan is built around natural light and an outward view, a result of the tower position along the water in the Green Gate District. To compare a specific size, layout and orientation, request the stamped Altan floor plans, since the exact internal split and balcony size change by unit, floor and view.
The amenities deck at Altan is built for an active waterfront routine rather than a long list of facilities. A swimming pool, gymnasium, jogging track and cycling track support daily fitness, while the yoga zone, landscaped podium deck and green open spaces give residents room to slow down by the Creek. Dining and retail outlets, a clubhouse and a children's pool keep everyday needs inside the community, so a resident at Dubai Creek Harbour can train, eat and relax without leaving Altan.
Altan sits in Dubai Creek Harbour, an Emaar waterfront community along the historic Dubai Creek and directly opposite the Downtown Dubai skyline. The address connects to the city through Ras Al Khor Road and Nad Al Hamar Road, plus metro and water taxi links, which keeps Downtown Dubai, Business Bay and Dubai International Airport within a short drive. For a resident, that means a green, water led setting with the business and retail core of the city still inside a normal commute.

Apartment sizes range from 754 to 1,848 square feet, while the townhouses sit around 4,080 to 4,166 square feet. Every home uses floor to ceiling glass and an open plan layout.

The booking amount at Altan is 10 per cent of the unit price. This is the upfront commitment that reserves your apartment or townhouse, after which the balance follows the staged Altan payment plan across construction and handover. The 4 per cent Dubai Land Department registration fee is separate and is confirmed at the point of sale.
The Altan payment plan is staged in three parts: 10 per cent on booking, 70 per cent during construction, and 20 per cent on handover. This keeps the upfront cost low and spreads the rest over the build period to 2029. Confirm the current plan against Emaar Properties documentation before you sign.
Handover for Altan at Dubai Creek Harbour is scheduled for the third quarter of 2029. The project is off plan and under development, so the exact completion date can move with build progress. The timeline gives buyers room to plan the staged payments before the handover balance falls due.
Altan apartments and townhouses priced from AED 2 million clear the property threshold for the 10 year UAE Golden Visa, which covers most of the larger layouts. The 1 bedroom entry unit at AED 1.81 million falls just under that mark on its own. Altan is also freehold, so overseas and NRI buyers hold full title. You can read our Golden Visa guide for the full steps.
