All projects in DubaiEvery scored projectHow the Rendr Score is worked out

Highest scores

The score weighs price against what buyers paid, the developer's record, the payment plan, location, how easily homes resell, construction progress, how much is still being built nearby and the paperwork on file. It is our opinion, not investment advice, and the working is shown on every project page.

Premium and ultra-luxury, among themselves

Projects starting from AED 3M (premium) and AED 10M (ultra), ranked by the same score. The price factor measures a premium project against its area's median like any other, and an ultra-luxury one against the higher of its area's top quarter and what the emirate's homes of AED 10M and more fetched.

Best project by developer

Each developer's highest-scored project on sale, one developer per row, in the same order as the score table. A developer with several launches appears once here, so a list led by one developer's phases still shows what the others are selling.

Furthest below what buyers paid nearby

The gap is a project's price per sqft against the DLD median for the same kind of home in its area (sales of homes that were not built yet). "Paid" means the project's own registered sales; "asking" means the developer's stated price. Projects whose only figure is our estimate are not compared.

Most sales registered

Sales of the project's own homes registered with DLD (sales of homes that were not built yet) in the last six months. A count says how fast a project is moving, not whether it is good value.

How this page is made

The score is one number from 0 to 100 built from eight factors, each computed from a row the site holds or a judgement we wrote down with its reasoning.

  1. 01Price against what buyers actually paidPer sqft, against the register's sales in the area (DLD)
  2. 02Developer track recordDelivery record, how finished buildings resell, who stands behind it
  3. 03Payment planFrom the plan's percentages: down, during construction, handover
  4. 04Location and infrastructureOur area rating, plus what the pin is near: schools, shops, metro, beach
  5. 05How big the resale market isResales of finished homes in the area, per year
  6. 06Construction on scheduleProgress against the launch and handover dates
  7. 07How much is still being built nearbyShare of the area's sales that were off-plan
  8. 08The basics on fileProject registration and escrow account

Weights and rules are published in full on the methodology page.

A score rests only on the factors that could be assessed, and shows what share of the weight that is; nothing is scored below 60%, or without its price per sqft. Where a project's price per sqft is our own estimate rather than a registered or developer-stated figure, the price factor counts its gap at half and cannot score above 70.

A project past its handover date stays on the list only while DLD still records off-plan sales for it. Once its figure rests on resales of finished homes, or no sale is registered under its name, it counts as delivered and keeps its score off the list. Delivered and sold-out projects are not ranked: a buyer cannot act on them.

Figures are as of October 2026. Register figures are read again each month; the score moves when they do, and every change is explained on the project page. This page lists a selection of projects, not every project in Dubai.
