Sea Cliff by Imtiaz — off-plan on Dubai Islands

• Public name — Sea Cliff by Imtiaz; portal also Seacliff (high) ^{[1] [4]}
• Developer — Imtiaz Developments (high) ^{[1] [4]}
• Place — Dubai Islands waterfront (high) ^{[1] [4]}
• Homes marketed — 1–4 bedroom apartments; press adds exclusive 4BR duplex homes (high) ^{[1] [2] [4]}
• Buildings — one on the PF card (high) ^[4]
• Portal starting price — launch about AED 2M / FAQ AED 1,995,000 (med — PF) ^[4]
• Broker reference — Engel & Völkers from AED 1.99M for 1BR (med — not dual-locked) ^[5]
• Payment labels — PF 20 / 30 / 50; official meta 50 / 50 (both end with 50% on handover) (med) ^{[4] [1]}
• Keys window — official + press Q1 2028 vs PF August / Q3 2028 (med — conflict) ^{[1] [2] [4]}

• Press project value — about Dh600 million at groundbreaking (med — press) ^{[2] [3]}

Use this block to decide whether Sea Cliff belongs on a shortlist. Confirm registration and escrow via Dubai Land Department tools before any deposit. ^[6]

Think one waterfront apartment block on Dubai Islands, not a villa cluster. Imtiaz shows open decks, sea views and resort-style amenity stills; groundbreaking press also names Hermès, Villeroy & Boch and Miele for interiors — treat brand finishes as marketing until your brochure exhibits and handover pack list them for the unit. ^{[1] [2]}

What public materials agree on vs what stays thin:

• Types — 1–4 bedroom apartments on the official title and PF about-block (high) ^{[1] [4]}
• Duplex row — exclusive 4BR duplex language on groundbreaking press (high — press) ^[2]
• Portal starting price — about AED 2M / FAQ 1,995,000 (med) ^[4]
• Size bands — Engel & Völkers only: 1BR ~800–1,100 sqft; 2BR 1,200–1,800; 3BR 1,900–2,500; 4BR 2,800–3,500 (low — single broker, not dual-locked) ^[5]

No dual-locked residential unit count and no official storey count appear on the captures we used. Amenity chips (sea-facing / infinity pool, outdoor gym, yoga, outdoor cinema, pavilion clubhouse, kids pool and play, BBQ and fire-pit seating) stay brochure claims until SPA exhibits name them. ^{[1] [2]}

Do not confuse Sea Cliff with Beach Walk, Cove, Sunset Bay or Wynwood — each has its own Imtiaz product page and paperwork trail. ^[1]

Keys — two calendars still fight:

• imtiaz.ae estimated completion Q1 2028 ^[1]
• Groundbreaking press + Gulf News partner mirror: handover in the first quarter of 2028 ^{[2] [3]}
• Property Finder: delivery August 2028 / Q3 2028, expected completion 15 August 2028 ^[4]

If you need a conservative planning date, use the later portal stamp until your sale contract prints a different keys clause.

Payment labels:

• Property Finder: 20% at sales launch, 30% during construction, 50% on handover ^[4]
• Official meta: flexible 50 / 50 plan ^[1]

Both labels still finish with 50% on handover. ^{[4] [1]} Intermediate instalment dates only lock on the calendar attached to your unit.

PF also prints booking 15 February 2026 and construction start 16 February 2026. Formal groundbreaking press is dated 30 June 2026. ^{[4] [3]} Read those as public phase labels, not a site visit report.

Builder hub: Imtiaz Developments. ^[1] On the booking form, check the legal seller string matches the sale contract — the public brand name alone is not enough.

Map hub: Dubai Islands. Official copy places Sea Cliff on a waterfront island pin with bridge and road links toward the mainland; orientation lines mention DXB, Downtown and Dubai Creek as reachability cues, not stopwatch commute guarantees. ^{[1] [4]}

Other Imtiaz work already researched here sits inland or on different corridors — design-led towers such as The Symphony in Meydan Horizon, the Downtown Jebel Ali Raw District series, and Dubai South’s Enre Residence. ^[1] On the islands themselves, compare only after you open each product’s own page: Avenew’s Cheval Residences, Ellington’s Meriva cluster, and Beyond’s Hado / Shione stack are different sellers and cash tables. Longer buyer checklist: off-plan diligence guide.

1. Keys conflict — official/press Q1 2028 versus PF August / Q3 2028. Build your personal timeline on the later stamp unless the SPA says otherwise. ^{[1] [4]}
2. Payment wording differs — meta 50 / 50 versus PF 20 / 30 / 50. Both land 50% on handover; only the printed instalment calendar is binding. ^{[1] [4]}
3. “From” price is a filter — portal ~AED 2M is not a full price list. ^[4]
4. Sizes thin — Engel & Völkers bands are single-source; official and PF tables did not publish a matching public ladder at capture. ^[5]
5. No dual-locked home count — do not infer sell-out pressure from renders.
6. Amenity and brand-interior claims — Hermès / Villeroy & Boch / Miele and lifestyle chips stay marketing until drawings and the handover pack lock them. ^[2]
7. Sibling mix-up — Beach Walk, Cove, Sunset Bay and other Imtiaz island products are different rows. ^[1]
8. Early works — developer progress near 6% at capture; multi-year runway remains. ^[1]

This page does not forecast yield, rank products or invent scarcity.

1. Decide you want Sea Cliff by Imtiaz (not Beach Walk, Cove or another island tower). Then check the booking form and sale contract already name that product, the unit ID and the bedroom type. You do not author the developer’s contract. ^[1]
2. Pull the DLD registration and escrow status for this product string before any deposit. ^[6]
3. Compare the seller field on the reservation pack with the seller field on the sale contract. ^[1]
4. Request the instalment calendar that names Sea Cliff. Rebuild cash from those dates — not the PF 20/30/50 chip or the meta 50/50 line alone. ^{[4] [1]}
5. Attach price to one unit plan and one net/sellable area figure from the developer pack.
6. Keep the written keys wording for that unit. Official Q1 2028 and portal August 2028 still conflict. ^{[1] [4]}
7. Get in writing: common vs in-unit amenities, what any “duplex with private pool” marketing includes for your stack, and post-handover service-charge scope. ^{[1] [2]}
