Solaya: frequently asked questions
What is Solaya and who is building it?
Solaya is a gated community of 234 residences in nine buildings on the Jumeirah 1 shoreline, next to La Mer and J1 Beach. It is developed by Meraas (part of Dubai Holding) and Brookfield Properties. Foster + Partners designed the architecture and 1508 London the interiors.
Where is Solaya and how far is it from the city centre?
Jumeirah 1, on the shoreline by La Mer and J1 Beach. According to the developer, Downtown Dubai is a 15-minute drive and Dubai International Airport about 20 minutes.

These are averages, not starting prices, converted at 3.6725 AED per dollar. I send prices for other buildings and specific units from the current price list.
What is the Solaya payment plan?
Per the developer’s plan for Solaya 8: 20% on booking, then 10% each in May 2027, November 2027, May 2028 and November 2028, and the remaining 40% in April 2030 at handover. For other buildings I confirm the plan separately.
When will Solaya be completed?
Estimated completion is April 2030 (developer estimate). The last payment, 40% of the price, is also due in April 2030.
What layouts and sizes does Solaya offer?
Classic residences with 2 to 5 bedrooms: 1,900–7,600 sq ft (about 176–706 m²). Ground-floor 3-bedroom Garden residences with a private pool and a courtyard garden of 3,000+ sq ft (about 279 m²). 4-bedroom duplexes from 5,000 sq ft (about 465 m²). Penthouses: one level per building, 4 m floor-to-floor, with a terrace pool. I send unit areas and floor plans on request.

Concierge, valet, doorman and 24/7 security; on request cleaning, dry cleaning, grocery delivery, a personal trainer, a salon, spa treatments and private dining.
What is an EOI and how do I apply for Solaya?
An EOI (Expression of Interest) is a preliminary purchase application. Registration opened on 14 October 2026. Applications go only through the developer’s link, priority follows the date and time of payment, and an application without payment is not accepted. You can apply for several units. Payment is by manager’s cheque, personal cheque, bank transfer or card; a manager’s cheque is not cashed until allocation is confirmed. I help you choose a type and go through the steps.
Does buying in Solaya qualify for a Golden Visa?
The Golden Visa for real estate investors is a renewable 10-year residence permit for owners of property worth at least AED 2 million at purchase, proven by a title deed or an e-Certificate of Title (Dubai Land Department page, checked 21 October 2026). Whether an under-construction unit qualifies, and at which payment stage, should be confirmed with the DLD before you buy; a visa cannot be guaranteed in advance.
