Off-planQ2 2026
Off-plan property in Dubai means buying a unit before or during construction, directly from the developer. It's the dominant primary-market channel in the emirate — typically 10–20% cheaper than the equivalent ready unit, with staged payment plans tied to construction milestones (commonly 60/40 or 70/30 splits between build and handover). Most launches also offer post-handover plans of one to three years, spreading the capital outlay further still.
Every Dubai off-plan launch is governed by RERA-mandated escrow accounts registered at the Dubai Land Department. Buyer payments sit in escrow and are released to the developer only as independently-verified construction milestones are met. That same legal framework applies whether you're buying an apartment in Business Bay, a villa in Dubai Hills, or a townhouse in Tilal Al Ghaf — the protection is uniform.
Off-plan units are sold in freehold zones, where international buyers can take 100% ownership with full title at the DLD. No UAE residency is required to purchase. Properties above AED 750,000 qualify the buyer for a 2-year residence visa; purchases above AED 2 million qualify for the 10-year UAE Golden Visa.
