Creek Beach - Savanna-Cedar-Mangrove: Handover Date & Completion Status

One registration, three developments

Dubai's Land Department groups Savanna, Cedar and Mangrove under a single project code, "Creek Beach - Savanna-Cedar-Mangrove," registered against the Al Khairan First land parcel inside Dubai Creek Harbour. Emaar marketed and sold the three under separate names and separate sales launches, so a buyer searching "Cedar Creek Beach" or "Mangrove Creek Beach" independently lands on the same registry entry — a function of how Emaar phased and filed the site, not evidence the buildings share a single structure or delivery date.

The three differ in scale and layout. Savanna is three low-rise blocks of nine to ten storeys carrying roughly 187 one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments set against a park frontage; sales opened in 2023 with a targeted July 2026 handover. Cedar, launched slightly later on Al Kheeran First Street, packs 272 units of the same bedroom mix into low-rise blocks around a shared plaza, with unit sizes running 613 to 1,691 sq ft and a Q3 2026 completion date. Mangrove is the smallest of the three: two L-shaped buildings of eight and nine storeys (G+7 and G+8) holding 135 apartments between 615 and 1,701 sq ft, oriented toward the internal park rather than direct beach frontage. Construction on all three broke ground around May 2023, which is why they finished within months of each other rather than being staggered by years.

Creek Beach in practice

Creek Beach is the low-rise, family-oriented pocket of Dubai Creek Harbour, built around a roughly 700-metre man-made beach and a Crystal Lagoon-branded waterbody, distinct from the high-rise towers that define Creek Island and the Harbour Views cluster elsewhere in the district. Savanna, Cedar and Mangrove sit within walking distance of that beach, a central park, two town squares and a retail-and-dining strip — the amenity set Emaar leans on to position the sub-district for owner-occupiers and longer-term tenants rather than the flip-focused buyers common in the harbour's tower stock.

The delivered reality

Because the three projects broke ground together and share a completion window, Creek Beach absorbed several hundred additional apartments in a single wave rather than a phased trickle — a pattern that matters for early landlords weighing leasing timelines against the rest of the harbour's handover schedule. Portal-listed unit counts for the three named buildings add up to roughly 590 apartments, a fraction of the combined figure attached to the DLD registration; the gap reflects the fact that the registration covers the wider Al Khairan First plot rather than a one-to-one count of the marketed towers. Broader Dubai Creek Harbour rents have held in a range portals put at roughly AED 105,000-115,000 a year for an unfurnished one-bedroom, with gross yields commonly cited between 5.5% and 7%, though neither figure is specific to Creek Beach's low-rise stock and should be checked against comparable listings before pricing a unit.

Owner decisions now

With handover reached, owners across Savanna, Cedar and Mangrove face the same near-term questions: snagging inspections before tenant move-in, service charge budgets only now being finalised on a delivered building rather than an off-plan estimate, and a leasing market absorbing several hundred comparable units at once, which tends to compress asking rents for the first two to three quarters after keys. Buyers evaluating resale stock should treat the three names as functionally separate products — different unit sizes, different plaza-versus-park orientation, different price points — and use the shared registration only to confirm which building a unit actually belongs to.
