Everything buyers ask about EYWA

EYWA is two towers on the same plot in Business Bay. Tree of Life holds 52 residences — 50 waterfront homes plus two penthouses. Way of Water holds 65 residences, including three duplexes and one penthouse. That is 117 homes in total, sharing one amenities floor and the same 59 shared facilities.

Fifty-two. The developer floor plate mix places four apartments per floor on levels 2 to 7, three per floor on level 8 and again on levels 9 to 13, two per floor across the Sky Collection levels 14 to 17, and one penthouse each on levels 18 and 19. Bedroom counts run from two to five.

Way of Water holds 65 residences: two- and three-bedroom homes across the first thirteen floors, Sky Collection four-bedroom residences on levels 15 and 18, three duplexes on levels 20 and 21, and a penthouse of 22,972 sq ft over levels 22 and 23 whose terraces carry a 25-metre pool and an infinity pool. Every residence has a private lobby with direct lift access.

Two to five bedrooms. In Tree of Life the developer price list runs from 2,973 sq ft for a two-bedroom residence to 15,832 sq ft for the Toruk Makto penthouse. Three-bedroom homes are 5,145–5,471 sq ft, the single four-bedroom 6,155 sq ft, and Sky Collection five-bedroom homes 8,765–8,945 sq ft.

The Tree of Life developer price list starts at AED 12.49M for a two-bedroom residence and reaches AED 150M for the Toruk Makto penthouse. Way of Water is sold from a separate list that is issued on request, so we quote it only in writing after checking live availability. Request the current list through the form.

The partner brief signed with the developer puts Tree of Life at Q1 2027 — the tower passed 60% construction completion in July 2026 — and Way of Water at Q1 2029, with piling works starting in September 2026. These are the developer’s guideline quarters: the contractual completion date is the one written into your sale and purchase agreement. Ask us for the confirmed schedule in writing.

Tree of Life is at an advanced stage: it passed the 60% construction-completion milestone in July 2026, fit-out and MEP works are ongoing, and the developer’s guideline handover is Q1 2027. Way of Water sits at the opposite end of the cycle — piling works begin in September 2026, with guideline handover in Q1 2029. Contractual dates are always the ones written into the SPA.

R·Evolution, founded in 1999, with 27 years of development and 23 completed projects behind it: over 2,500,000 sq ft delivered, 5,000,000 sq ft in development, a largest single project of EUR 270 million and a portfolio GDV of €500–600 million. More than 60 staff work from Barcelona, Berlin, Riga and Dubai. Earlier projects include LEGEND., HOFT, 22Palms and Bac de Roda.

Architecture and interior design are by OAD — Open Architecture Design SIA of Riga, with Zane Tetere-Sulce as project architect and interior designer. John R Harris & Partners of Dubai, a member of the Aukett Swanke Group, act as lead design consultants and appear as lead consultant on the issued floor plan drawings.

The developer describes EYWA as the first residential building with a built-in pyramid of 3,355 semi-precious stones and crystals. Specific crystals, geodes and stones are set into columns and concrete slabs from the foundation upward in a pyramid form, alongside crystal gardens and travertine floors in the public areas. Eighteen tonnes of crystals sit in the structure.

Tree of Life has two, both with five bedrooms and four parking spaces. The Neytiri Penthouse occupies level 18 at 15,788 sq ft, listed at AED 135M. The Toruk Makto Penthouse crowns level 19 at 15,832 sq ft, listed at AED 150M. Way of Water adds a third penthouse of 22,972 sq ft over levels 22 and 23, priced on request.

Three duplexes span levels 20 and 21. The three-bedroom type measures 5,609 sq ft — 4,120 sq ft internal plus 1,489 sq ft external — with a library, study and in-residence sauna. The four-bedroom type is 8,542 sq ft, and the five-bedroom type 9,915 sq ft with a Sky Lounge Nest over the canal.

They are delivered fully finished with sustainable, non-toxic materials rather than as bare shells. Show kitchens come with Australian Paldao cabinetry and Miele, Liebherr and Bosch appliances, and three-, four- and five-bedroom homes add a secondary kitchen. Smart home technology is integrated. Loose furniture is not part of the standard specification, but under the current partner offer a full furniture package — the Signature or Asian collection — comes as a gift.

The Tree of Life price list allocates two spaces to every two-bedroom residence, two on lower floors and three from level 10 for three-bedroom homes, three for the four-bedroom and Sky Collection four-bedroom residences, and four for Sky Collection five-bedroom homes and both penthouses. Way of Water allocations are confirmed on request.

Three Platinum ratings: LEED Platinum for sustainability, WELL Platinum for the health impact of the built environment, and WiredScore Platinum for digital connectivity. The developer states these will be certified by independent global institutions. Certification is a target stated in the sales material, so confirmed certificates should be requested at the point of purchase.

Two components. A full furniture package as a gift — the developer values it at 7–10% of the residence price, based on its own estimate of about AED 350 per sq ft — and an additional 5% discount off the price list when the refundable AED 100,000 booking is placed within 10 calendar days of receiving the personal offer. Combined, the benefit can reach up to 15% of the price: on an AED 20M residence that is up to AED 2M of furniture plus AED 1M of discount.

Yes — the booking is fully refundable: if you decide not to proceed with the purchase, the amount is returned. From the moment of booking, four things are fixed for 7 calendar days: the chosen residence, the agreed price, the discount and the furniture package gift. To keep those terms, the reservation form must be signed and its payment made within the same 7 calendar days.

Both are complete interior packages designed specifically for EYWA, and both include furniture, curtains, carpets and decorative lighting. The Signature Collection is a contemporary premium interior with furniture selected for EYWA, natural wood, elegant textiles and accent lighting. The Asian Collection is a calm, timeless aesthetic built on natural wood, teak, soft textures and carefully chosen designer pieces. The valuation depends on the specific residence and is confirmed unit by unit.

Two formats. We arrange a private Zoom presentation of the specific residences on your shortlist — floor plans, views, prices and payment plans — or a personal viewing of the show residence in Dubai, which is located in the Tree of Life tower. Both are booked through the enquiry form, and both follow the personal offer and the private selection of available units.

Sixty per cent of the price is paid before completion and forty per cent at completion. For Tree of Life that is 10% at booking, 10% plus the 4% DLD fee at SPA signing, 10% at 60 days, 5% at 90 days, 5% at 180 days, 10% at 40% construction, 10% at 60% construction, then 40% on completion.

Ten per cent at booking, fifty per cent spread across construction milestones and forty per cent at handover. That structure is the one listed for Way of Water by aggregators, so we treat it as indicative: the binding schedule, with each milestone and date, is the one attached to your sale and purchase agreement. Request the current schedule in writing.

The Dubai Land Department registration fee, calculated at 4% of the purchase price and payable by the buyer when the sale is registered. In the Tree of Life plan it falls due alongside the second instalment at SPA signing, which is why the schedule reads “10% + 4% DLD”. Administrative registration charges are quoted separately.

Yes. Business Bay is a designated freehold area of Dubai, so buyers of any nationality can hold full freehold title in their own name or through a permitted company structure, with the title registered at the Dubai Land Department. There is no residency requirement to buy. We confirm the exact title status of each unit before reservation.

Off-plan sales in Dubai must run through a project escrow account supervised by the regulator: instalments go into a dedicated trust account for that project and are released against verified construction progress rather than to the developer at will. Ask us for the escrow account details and the project registration number before you transfer anything.

Oqood is the Dubai Land Department’s interim registration for off-plan sales: once the SPA is signed and the DLD fee paid, your purchase is recorded in the interim register. The final title deed is issued after the building is completed and handed over, when the unit is registered in your name. Both steps are handled with the developer.

We do not publish a figure. Service charges for a building of this specification depend on the final approved budget for the shared facilities and on the service package, and neither is stated in the material we work from. Quoting a rate we cannot source would be a guess. Request the current indication in writing and we will pass on the developer’s answer.

Usually yes. A reservation is made on a signed form, the sale and purchase agreement can be executed remotely, and a notarised power of attorney lets a representative complete the Dubai Land Department steps on your behalf. Requirements vary by buyer type and by whether you buy personally or through a company, so we set out the exact document list for your case.

Through the enquiry form. Tell us the bedroom count, the tower and roughly the budget, and we send the floor plans of the units that actually match, marked with internal and external areas, terrace layout and parking allocation. We reply in writing so you keep a record of what was quoted, and we never publish plans for units already sold.

Send the form and you receive one written reply containing live availability, the price list with areas and parking per unit, the payment schedule and the handover timeline as it stands in the contract documents. Prices on this site come from the developer material dated in the source note under each table and are superseded by that written confirmation.
