An escrow account is a regulated account the developer cannot draw on freely: your payments go in and are released as building progresses. Escrow accounts and project registrations are published by the Abu Dhabi Real Estate Centre (ADREC) on dari.ae. Always check them, and pay into the escrow account only, before handing over a deposit.
