Nara handover date: the latest position
Nara at The Valley was handed over in December 2024. The Dubai Land Department (DLD) recorded the 372 townhouses 100% built at its inspection of 25 November 2024, and the register’s declared completion date is 30 December 2024. Emaar gave December 2024 when it launched Nara in July 2021, so the cluster was delivered on time. Nara is a cluster of The Valley; prices and sizes are on the Nara at The Valley page.
Resales of finished homes started in volume in 2025, the year after handover (McCone Properties, DLD data). In the 12 months to August 2026, every one of the 93 Nara sales registered was a ready resale (Data Dubai).

What the Nara handover date meant for payments
Emaar’s launch plan for Nara put half the price on completion: 12% down, four instalments to May 2023, then 50% at completion (Mitchells). With handover in December 2024, owners had a gap of about 19 months between the last construction instalment and the completion payment. On a 3 bedroom at the AED 1,340,888 launch price, the completion payment was about AED 670,000. Other listings at launch described a 70/30 plan or a post-handover option, so terms differ by purchase date.
What to check when buying a resale townhouse at Nara
- That the 50% completion payment was settled and the seller holds a title deed, not an Oqood.
- The end of the defects liability period, which runs from each owner’s handover in or after December 2024.
- That the listing is Nara, project 2274, and not a later Valley cluster that is still under construction.
- The size basis in a quoted price per square foot, since DLD records use a figure close to the plot area.
