Madinat Jumeirah Living Nourelle: confirmed facts and buyer checks (2026)
Meraas launched Madinat Jumeirah Living Nourelle on 6 October 2025 (Meraas), and its current project page advertises one- to four-bedroom apartments from AED 3.68 million (Meraas, checked 11 September 2026). The official record supports a 236-home, three-building scheme (Dubai Holding, 4 August 2026), but the contractual seller, project number and escrow account still need to be matched against DLD records and the sale documents before any payment.
What is confirmed, stated and still unknown
The official project name is Madinat Jumeirah Living Nourelle. No numbered sales-phase name appears in the primary project material; Dubai Holding refers only to the groundworks for the development's "initial phase" (Dubai Holding, 4 August 2026).
The homes and advertised starting prices
The full development has 236 apartments across three buildings, with one- to four-bedroom layouts, according to Dubai Holding's 4 August 2026 update. Meraas's original launch release gave a more detailed breakdown only for the first 12-storey building: 66 homes comprising 27 one-bedroom, 28 two-bedroom, 10 three-bedroom and one four-bedroom apartment (Meraas, 6 October 2025). It did not publish the equivalent breakdown for all 236 homes.
These are advertised starting prices from the launch sheet, not evidence of current availability or the price of a particular home. A current quotation needs to identify the building, layout, internal area, external area, parking allocation and every charge outside the purchase price. The existing Meraas developer profile provides wider company context without replacing the project-specific checks.
Payment schedule and stated completion
The official launch sheet, checked 11 September 2026, uses a 75% construction-period and 25% final-payment structure. Several scheduled dates have already passed as of 11 September 2026, so a buyer needs a current statement rather than assuming the launch calendar transfers unchanged.
Meraas labels June 2029 as its estimated construction completion. That is the developer's stated schedule, not a completed event or a promise by this publication. The primary sources checked did not publish a separate handover date. The SPA should define what counts as completion, how notice is given and whether the final instalment is tied to completion, handover or another contractual milestone.
How to verify registration and escrow
Dubai REST is the official place to match the project record to the paperwork. DLD says its off-plan view provides the completion percentage, current site images, escrow account number and owner-payment information (DLD, checked 11 September 2026). Mashrooi, the Project Status service inside Dubai REST, accepts a project name or project number and exposes project, developer, completion and escrow fields.
Oqood is DLD's provisional register for off-plan sales. DLD says the developer submits the signed sale for registration and lists a provisional registration e-certificate as the issued document. The contract must be registered within 90 days of signing (DLD, as of 11 September 2026).
DLD's published fee schedule allocates 2% of the sale value to the seller and 2% to the purchaser, plus AED 10 knowledge and AED 10 innovation fees; it also lists an AED 1,000 developer self-registration fee for a provisional sale (DLD, as of 11 September 2026). The booking form and SPA need to show what the purchaser is being charged and when.
Questions to close before signing
The cleanest check is a document-to-registry match, not a brochure-to-brochure comparison.
- What is the seller's full legal name, and does it match the SPA, payment instructions and DLD developer record?
- What are the DLD project number, current registry status, recorded developer and escrow bank in Mashrooi?
- Does the payment beneficiary exactly match the escrow account shown by DLD for this project?
- Which building and home does the reservation cover, and do its area, parking, plan and specifications match the SPA attachments?
- Which launch instalments have already fallen due, and what current statement applies to a new reservation or assignment?
- When will the Oqood provisional registration e-certificate be issued, and who supplies it?
- How does the SPA define the developer's estimated completion, handover notice and the final payment trigger?
- Which charges sit outside the advertised price, including registration, administration and future service charges?
Sources checked
The primary record for this fact sheet is the Meraas project page, the Meraas launch release, the official payment-plan sheet, Dubai Holding's 4 August 2026 groundworks update, and DLD's Dubai REST and initial-sale registration pages. All were checked on 11 September 2026.
Is Nourelle a new launch?
No. Meraas's official launch release is dated 6 October 2025 (Meraas). The newer official event is Dubai Holding's 4 August 2026 announcement that Meraas had awarded the groundworks contract (Dubai Holding).
How many homes are planned at Nourelle?
Dubai Holding says the full scheme contains 236 one- to four-bedroom apartments across three buildings (Dubai Holding, 4 August 2026). Meraas separately published a 66-home breakdown for the first building at launch (Meraas, 6 October 2025).
What is the Nourelle payment plan?
The launch sheet schedules 75% from booking through construction and 25% in June 2029 (Meraas, checked 11 September 2026). Because some instalment dates had passed by 11 September 2026, the signed contract and current statement control the actual obligation.
How can a buyer verify Nourelle's escrow account?
Use Mashrooi in the official Dubai REST app, search by the exact project name or DLD project number, and compare the escrow bank and account details with the SPA and payment instructions.
