Emaar’s May 2023 launch fact sheet estimates 100% construction completion in December 2027. This is the published project target, not a guaranteed key-collection date.
Project overview
Creek Waters 2 is an Emaar development on Creek Island in Dubai Creek Harbour. Its published mix covers apartments, townhouses and a duplex penthouse, giving buyers a choice between conventional tower layouts and larger homes within the same waterfront setting.
The useful distinction at Creek Waters 2 is the range of home formats. Emaar identifies one- to four-bedroom apartments, three-bedroom townhouses and five-bedroom duplex penthouses. Its reviewed unit listing shows 1,272 sq ft; that figure describes the listed unit, not the full project size range. These should be compared as different living arrangements, rather than as interchangeable options within a single price bracket.
A shortlist should start with the actual unit: how much space is internal, what the balcony contributes, and where the apartment sits in the building. A brochure-wide bedroom range cannot establish that a particular layout is available. Ask for the unit number, current drawing and dated quotation together.
Apartments, townhouses and a duplex penthouse are identified in the developer’s project information.
Emaar lists an infinity pool, children’s pool and play area, gym, viewing decks and BBQ facilities.
The project sits within the Dubai Creek Harbour waterfront district.

Price context, then payment timing
Emaar’s project page displayed AED 3,126,888 for its published unit when checked on 31 October 2026. This is a dated reference, not a reservation or confirmation of stock. The older AED 1.7M launch headline is not used as a current available-unit price.
The published 90/10 launch plan comprises 10% on booking, a further 80% in construction instalments and 10% at completion. The original dated schedule is reproduced below. For a purchase today, request the remaining balance against the actual unit; historical instalments may already have been paid. Registration fees are separate.

Sheraz Properties buyer perspective
Buyers deciding between an apartment and a larger home format in a waterfront district may find this project a useful point of comparison. Start with layout and day-to-day access before comparing the view.
Confirm the exact unit, construction position and current completion target. Review the instalments still payable today; an original launch schedule may contain dates that have already passed.
