What buyers actually paid in Dubai
The median price per sqft from sales of homes that were not built yet, recorded by the Dubai Land Department (DLD). These are prices paid, not prices asked, and every project on this site is shown as a gap above or below the median for its own area.
AED per sqft, DLD registered sales over the last 6 months where there were enough of them, as of 4 Oct 2026. Each area page gives the full basis and count. Gross yield: the median rent of new Ejari contracts this year against the median price of finished homes sold, apartments unless it says villas; the area page shows the working. How we work it out · the price gap report compares every project we list with these medians.
The 24 highest-scored off-plan projects in Dubai
All 1,632 in the list →
Developers building in Dubai
Every project here carries its DLD number and escrow account where we hold them. How to check a project on the DLD register, and what each field on it means. New to this? What off-plan property is, in plain words.
Buying off-plan in Dubai
What does buying off-plan in Dubai mean?
Buying off-plan means buying a home before it is built, from the developer, and paying in instalments as construction progresses. In Dubai the money goes into a regulated escrow account and both the project and the developer must be registered with the Dubai Land Department (DLD).
Where can I see all off-plan projects in Dubai?
This page lists 1,170 off-plan projects on sale, 30 sold out and 432 finished buildings in Dubai, across 72 areas and 349 developers, from AED 426,000, each checked project by project. It is a selected list rather than every project on the market; the complete register is dubailand.gov.ae, run by the Dubai Land Department (DLD).
What is the average price per sqft for off-plan in Dubai?
There is no single figure: buyers paid a median of AED 1,111 per sqft for apartments in International City and AED 8,078 in Jumeirah over the last six months, by DLD's registered sales (sales of homes that were not built yet). Asking prices at the projects we list run from around AED 811 to AED 13,752 per sqft (some figures estimated). Every project page shows its own gap to the median for its area.
Which off-plan projects in Dubai hand over in 2026 or 2027?
Of the projects we list, 175 hand over in 2026, 415 hand over in 2027, 353 hand over in 2028, 192 hand over in 2029 and 51 later; 432 are already built, and 14 are past their published date and not yet handed over. The project list filters by handover year and each page names its date. Dates are the developers' own estimates and off-plan schedules move, so confirm before you pay.
How do I check if an off-plan project in Dubai is registered with DLD?
Ask the developer for the project registration number and the escrow account number, then look both up at dubailand.gov.ae, run by the Dubai Land Department (DLD). Pay into the escrow account only, never into a personal or brokerage account. Every project page here shows both numbers where we hold them.
Which developers have the most off-plan projects in Dubai?
Among the projects we list in Dubai, Emaar Properties (268), Damac Properties (74) and Binghatti Developers (59) have the most, with 346 other developers building here. Each developer page also shows what DLD counts under their name across every project, listed here or not.
How do I know if an asking price in Dubai is fair?
Compare it with what buyers actually paid. We compute a median price per sqft for each area from sales registered with the Dubai Land Department (DLD) - sales of homes that were not built yet - and show every project's asking price as a gap above or below it. The method is published in full.
