The Archive By Imtiaz
- AVA001019The Archive By Imtiaz, Dubai Land Residence Complex (DLRC), Dubailand, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
The Archive by Imtiaz is a distinctive new-launch residence in Dubai Land Residence Complex (DLRC), Dubailand, conceived by Imtiaz Developments as a way of living arranged around reading. Instead of a conventional lobby, residents arrive through a double-height library wrapped by a spiral stair, holding a real collection of some 10,000 books. Every home assumes a life of reading: fitted shelves, a reading lamp placed exactly where the hand reaches, a deep chair set where the skyline arrives in the glass, and a coffee-and-book niche built into the kitchen wall. Rising Basement + Ground + 3 Podiums + 13 Residential Floors + Roof (B+G+3P+13+R), the tower delivers studio, 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments (studios from 360 sq.ft, 1 bedrooms from 600 sq.ft, 2 bedrooms from 1,035 sq.ft and 3 bedrooms from 1,314 sq.ft). Amenity spaces read like chapters: a Library, a Reading Lounge and a Writer's Room, a rooftop Reading Salon with fireplace and firepit, a gym set beneath a lattice of gold and glass shaped by Imtiaz's Raw Theory health philosophy, adult and kids' rooftop pools, a rooftop terrace garden with barbecue lounge and outdoor cinema, floating cabanas over a shallow water feature, sunken seating, a mini golf course, relaxation lounges, a kids' play area and a dedicated pets' area. The location places the largest library in the region, Dubai Academic City, IMG Worlds, Global Village and Dubai Outlet Mall within a short drive, with Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road at the door, Downtown Dubai minutes beyond and Dubai International Airport around twenty minutes away. Imtiaz Developments, founded in 1993, brings a fully integrated design-to-delivery model across 50+ projects and 2,000+ delivered units. Buyers can choose a 50/50 plan (50% during construction, 50% on completion) or a 60/40 post-handover plan with construction-linked installments and 40% paid over roughly three years after handover at approximately 1.1% monthly. Handover is scheduled for Q3 2028.

Can you own this, and how?
Ownership rights depend on three things: the type of asset, where it sits, and who you are as a buyer. Here is the framework for this property, before you speak to a lawyer.
I am buying as:
- Status
- Permitted, freehold anywhere in Dubai
- What you actually hold
- You hold freehold title registered with the Dubai Land Department. There is no area restriction on where you may own.
- Key rules and restrictions
- GCC nationals are treated on the same footing as UAE nationals for ownership purposes.
- A company owned wholly by GCC nationals gets the same treatment.
- Some master communities impose their own transfer conditions through the developer.
- Funds and process
- Pay through UAE banking channels. The transfer completes at a Dubai Land Department trustee office where the title deed is issued on the day.
- Taxes
- The Dubai Land Department transfer fee is 4% of the price, split 2% each in law but paid in full by the buyer in most deals, plus a trustee office fee and a title deed issuance fee. There is no annual property tax and no capital gains tax in the UAE.
- Verify before you buy
- Get a title deed copy and check it against the Dubai REST app.
- Ask for the developer no-objection certificate confirming service charges are clear.
Buyer orientation, not legal advice. Ownership rules change and turn on specifics. Confirm with a qualified lawyer in the UAE before you commit.
