The Valley
Emaar's townhouse and villa community on Dubai-Al Ain Road, launched November 2019. Early clusters are delivered; later ones run to 2029.
Short answer
The Valley hands over in clusters, not on one date. Eden and Talia are already delivered. Elora is listed for Q3 2026 (September 2026), Farm Gardens for August 2026, and Rivana, Lillia, Alana and Nima between January and July 2027 (topluxuryproperty, Oct 2024; Property Finder, Sep 2026). A later Phase 2 update lists Terra Heights and Rivana for Q1 to Q2 2028 and Floresta for Q3 to Q4 2028 (realestateclubdubai, 7 Apr 2026), around a year later than the 2024 figures for some of the same names, so buyers should confirm the date in their own SPA.

When will The Valley be handed over?
Emaar launched The Valley on 18 November 2019 and has released clusters in stages since. Dates below combine an October 2024 tracker with a more recent April 2026 community guide, which disagree on some later clusters.
| Cluster | Published handover (2024 source) | Published handover (2026 source) |
|---|---|---|
| Eden, Talia | Delivered | Delivered |
| Nara | December 2024 | Not covered |
| Orania | December 2025 | Not covered |
| Elora | September 2026 | Grouped with Sola, listed for 2029 |
| Farm Gardens | August 2026 | Not covered |
| Rivana | March 2027 | Grouped with Terra Heights, Q1 to Q2 2028 |
| Lillia | January 2027 | Not covered |
| Alana | May 2027 | Not covered |
| Nima | July 2027 | Not covered |
| Terra Heights | Not covered | Q1 to Q2 2028 |
| Floresta | Not covered | Q3 to Q4 2028 |
Property Finder and Bayut, both checked in September 2026, still list Elora for Q3 2026, in line with the earlier 2024 figures rather than the 2029 date in the April 2026 community guide. Farm Gardens’ published August 2026 target has passed without a reported handover. Where a cluster’s date differs this much between sources, the completion date in your own sale and purchase agreement is the one to rely on, not a community-wide guide.
What is The Valley payment plan?
A 2026 guide to the community’s current phase describes three plan types on offer: an 80/20 construction-linked plan (small deposit, instalments through construction, 20% at handover), a 60/40 plan with 40% spread over 2 to 3 years after handover, and a 70/30 plan with a larger upfront deposit.
Worked example, using the 80/20 plan and Elora’s current listed entry price of AED 1.9 million for a three-bedroom townhouse:
| Stage | Amount |
|---|---|
| 10% on booking | AED 190,000 |
| 4% DLD registration fee (paid at booking) | AED 76,000 |
| Total due at booking | AED 266,000 |
| 60% during construction (milestone instalments) | AED 1,140,000 |
| 20% on handover | AED 380,000 |
This example uses a currently listed resale price and a published plan structure. It is not a quote for a specific unit, and actual terms depend on the cluster and whether you are buying from Emaar directly or on resale.
What do homes at The Valley cost?
Elora’s three-bedroom townhouses launched from about AED 1.09 million and four-bedroom units from AED 1.32 million. Property Finder’s current listed entry price for the project is around AED 1.9 million for a three-bedroom unit, and AED 2.3 million for four bedrooms, both asking prices on resale as the project is sold out from the developer.
Who is the developer and what is its handover record?
Emaar delivered The Valley’s first clusters, Eden and Talia, and Nara followed in December 2024. Orania was listed for December 2025, a date that has now passed; no dispute over that specific cluster has been reported by major UAE outlets. The gap between the 2024 and 2026 published dates for later clusters such as Rivana suggests some slippage in Emaar’s own schedule for that part of the community, though Emaar has not issued a public statement explaining the change.
What to check before booking
- The exact cluster and its own handover date, since The Valley spans clusters already delivered and others not due until 2028 or later.
- Whether the date you have been quoted matches your SPA, especially for clusters such as Elora and Rivana where published sources disagree by a year or more.
- Which payment plan applies to your unit. The Valley currently offers at least three different structures across its clusters.
- The DLD project status for your building, through the Dubai Land Department’s project status enquiry service.
Questions buyers also ask
Has The Valley been fully handed over?
No. Eden and Talia, the earliest clusters, are delivered. Elora is due by the end of September 2026. Farm Gardens' published target of August 2026 has passed without a reported handover. Several more clusters, including Rivana, Lillia, Alana and Nima, are due in 2027 or later depending on the source.
When is Elora due for handover?
Property Finder and Bayut both list Elora for Q3 2026, specifically around 30 September 2026 (accessed Sep 2026). A separate 2026 community guide groups Elora with a cluster called Sola for 2029, which does not match the portal listings for the same name, so check the date in your own SPA.
What is the payment plan for The Valley?
A 2026 guide to Phase 2 describes three options offered across the community: an 80/20 construction-linked plan, a 60/40 plan with 40% spread over 2 to 3 years after handover, and a 70/30 plan with a larger deposit (realestateclubdubai, 7 Apr 2026). Terms differ by cluster and by when you buy, so confirm the plan quoted for your specific unit.
How much have prices risen at The Valley?
Elora's three-bedroom townhouses launched from about AED 1.09 million. Property Finder's current listed entry price for the same unit type is around AED 1.9 million (accessed Sep 2026), though current prices are resale asking prices, not new launch prices.
Why do sources give different dates for the same cluster?
Figures published in 2024 for clusters such as Rivana put handover in March 2027. A guide published in April 2026 puts Rivana, grouped with Terra Heights, at Q1 to Q2 2028. Emaar has not published a single explanation for the gap, so treat the completion date in your own SPA as the reliable figure.
Where can I check the handover date for my own unit at The Valley?
The completion date and any grace period stated in your sale and purchase agreement, and the Dubai Land Department's project status enquiry service for your specific building or plot.
