About the project

997 Residences is a 63-home residential development by REEF Luxury Developments on Dubai Islands. The G+2P+8 building includes apartments, duplexes and a penthouse, with climate-controlled sunken balconies, winter gardens and outdoor cooled amenities. The project is active, with a recorded construction completion ratio of 4.01% at the inspection dated 24 June 2026, and handover is scheduled for Q1 2028.

The project and its design

997 Residences is configured as a G+2P+8 residential building, comprising a ground floor, two podium levels and eight residential floors. The collection is limited to 63 residences. Its residential concept centres on private and shared outdoor spaces designed for use in Dubai’s climate. Each home includes REEF’s patented climate-controlled sunken balconies and winter gardens. The project also incorporates outdoor cooled amenities. Residences are specified with built-in Bosch appliances, Grohe bathroom fittings and Gutmann aluminium systems. The building combines one- and two-bedroom apartments with larger three-bedroom duplexes and a four-bedroom penthouse, creating a range of layouts within one low-rise residential address on Dubai Islands.

Homes, layouts and sizes

The residence mix includes one-bedroom apartments, two-bedroom apartments, three-bedroom duplexes and one four-bedroom penthouse. One-bedroom apartments range from 776 to 1,062 sq ft. Two-bedroom apartments range from 1,220 to 2,187 sq ft. The three-bedroom duplexes range from 2,492 to 2,550 sq ft, while the four-bedroom penthouse measures 6,022 sq ft. The project has 23 one-bedroom homes, 36 two-bedroom homes, three three-bedroom homes and one four-bedroom home. This distribution places the majority of the collection in the one- and two-bedroom categories, with four larger homes comprising the duplex and penthouse selection.

Amenities and outdoor facilities

The amenity programme includes an infinity swimming pool with a Baja shelf, a separate kids’ pool and a jacuzzi. Poolside facilities include a decking area, cabanas and a shower area. Residents also have access to a gym and a yoga area. Outdoor leisure facilities include a hammock forest area, an outdoor cinema, a barbecue area and a community vegetable garden. A dedicated kids’ playground is included within the development. These facilities sit alongside the project’s outdoor cooled amenity concept, while the climate-controlled sunken balconies and winter gardens form part of every residence’s private outdoor space.

Dubai Islands location

997 Residences is located on Dubai Islands, a five-island masterplan on Dubai’s northern coastline. The wider district includes residential, hospitality, marina and public-realm components. Dubai Islands comprises Marina Island, Central Island, Shore Island, Golf Island and Elite Island. Recorded travel times from the location include five minutes to Mamzar Beach, 10 minutes to Al Mamzar Park, Dubai Creek and Dubai Frame, 15 minutes to Dubai International Airport and Dubai Festival City, and 20 minutes to Downtown Dubai, Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall. The development is positioned within this island district rather than in a mainland Dubai neighbourhood.

Price and payment plan

Prices at 997 Residences start from AED 2,026,186. The stated payment plan is 60/40. A 20% down payment is due on booking, followed by 40% during construction and the remaining 40% on handover. The construction-stage portion is structured across the first to eighth instalments. This plan aligns the final 40% payment with 100% completion of the project. Buyers can select from homes spanning one-bedroom apartments through to the four-bedroom penthouse, with the starting price providing the entry point for the collection.
