Q1. What makes Timez unique in Dubai Silicon Oasis?

Timez introduces three innovations to DSO found in no other tower in the area: convertible layouts allowing studios to become 1BRs and 1BRs to become 2BRs without moving, private balcony pools in select Presidential and pool units, and a 30-month post-handover payment plan extending to Q4 2030. All 1,000 units are fully furnished with European branded appliances and smart home automation, with 45 Plus amenities including an aquatic gym and open-air cinema unique to DSO.

Q2. How does the convertible apartment concept work?

Flex units include a partition system that allows the living space to be restructured. A Flex Studio can be arranged as a studio open-plan or with the partition closed to create a defined bedroom, effectively functioning as a 1BR. A Flex 1BR similarly creates an additional room that serves as a second bedroom or office. This allows residents to adapt their home to their needs, and investors to market units to multiple tenant profiles, maximising occupancy and yield.

Q3. What is the post-handover payment plan?

The 30% due at Q2 2028 handover can be paid over 30 months post-handover, extending to Q4 2030. Monthly payments during this post-handover period are approximately 1% of the unit price per month, meaning on a studio at AED 800K the monthly payment post-handover would be approximately AED 8,000, easily covered by rental income from the same unit.

Q4. What rental income can I expect after handover?

DSO apartments track up to 9.8% annually, with Danube 1BR units projected at 8% to 10%. On a studio at AED 800K that is AED 64,000 to AED 80,000 annually. Fully furnished units command 12 to 18% premium above unfurnished equivalents. Private balcony pool units are the strongest Airbnb short-term rental product in DSO with no comparable competitor.
