Antalya is a new off-plan residential development by Karma Developers in Dubai Sports City, currently under construction on a prime corner plot with panoramic open views. We're bringing it to our clients directly through our developer relationships — the same access we extend across our advisory practice, applied here to a project with construction already visibly underway rather than sitting at the concept stage.
Quick Facts
Unit Mix
Data192 units across the building (structured G + 2 podium levels + 15 residential floors), broken down by type as follows:
| Unit Type | Units | Starting Size |
|---|---|---|
| Studio | 50 | 400 sq ft |
| 1-Bedroom | 59 | 770 sq ft |
| 2-Bedroom | 73 | 1,125 sq ft |
| 3-Bedroom | 10 | 1,575 sq ft |
The Location
Dubai Sports City has spent the past few years shifting from a construction-heavy submarket to a lived-in residential community, and Antalya sits on one of its better-positioned plots: a corner site with panoramic open views, close to the district's stadium and canal, and roughly four minutes from The Els Club golf course. It's not a beachfront or Downtown address, and we won't sell it as one — it's a mid-market community play, priced accordingly, with genuine lifestyle amenities on top of the location itself.
Amenities
The development is planned around 25+ resort-style amenities, including an infinity pool, sauna, a dedicated zen garden, outdoor cinema, a panoramic indoor gymnasium, yoga deck, jacuzzi, multiple water features, a kids' play area, a meditation area, covered parking, and 24/7 security with CCTV.

Payment Plan
DataAs currently structured by the developer: a 5% down payment to enter, a 4% DLD fee waiver, and 50% payable post-handover, spread over 50 months. That's a meaningfully lighter upfront commitment than the 70/30-at-handover structure common across much of the off-plan market, with the bulk of the payment obligation extended well past Q2 2028 rather than concentrated around delivery.
Payment plans on off-plan developments are set by the developer and can change before a unit is reserved — treat the terms above as current as of this page's last update, and confirm specifics for your intended unit with your advisor before committing.
Why We're Bringing This to Clients Now
Most off-plan marketing leans on renderings and a launch date years out. Antalya's superstructure is under active construction today, which changes the risk profile in a buyer's favour relative to a project still at concept stage — less schedule uncertainty, and a developer with visible capital already committed to the site. That's not a guarantee against delay; it's a materially different starting point than a pre-construction pitch.
Is This the Right Fit?
Antalya suits a buyer prioritising a lower entry price and an extended payment runway over prime-address prestige — a first Dubai acquisition, a portfolio diversifier at a lower price point, or an end-user planning to occupy rather than an investor chasing top-tier resale liquidity. It is a strata-titled apartment sale like any other Dubai freehold purchase — individually owned and individually titled, not a leasing or fund structure.
Is Antalya by Karma individually owned, like a standard Dubai apartment purchase?
Yes. Antalya is a standard strata-titled off-plan apartment development — each unit is individually owned and individually titled with the Dubai Land Department, the same as any other Dubai freehold apartment purchase.
What is the payment plan for Antalya by Karma?
As currently structured by the developer: a 5% down payment, a 4% DLD fee waiver, and the remaining 50% payable post-handover over 50 months. Payment plans can change before a unit is reserved — confirm current terms with your advisor.
What extra terms do Zen Homes clients get on this project?
Zen Homes clients transacting on Antalya receive additional terms secured through our advisory relationship with the developer. These are finalized privately at the time of signing rather than advertised publicly — speak with your advisor for specifics.
When does Antalya by Karma hand over?
Q2 2028, per the developer's current construction timeline. The building's superstructure is under active construction as of this page's last update.
