Dubai Off-Plan New Launches Tracker 2026 (Updated 5 November 2026)
Updated: 6d
Dubai's off-plan pipeline keeps widening, and this tracker is the weekly index I keep so you don't have to trawl a dozen developer sites. As of 5 November 2026, entry prices among the projects re-checked this week run from AED 649,000 (Imtiaz's Raw District, Downtown Jebel Ali) up to AED 43.49 million (Meraas's Solaya 4 and 6 at La Mer), with listed handovers from Q1 2027 to Q2 2031. This refresh adds payment-plan splits from Property Finder's listing data and brings in Emaar's Serro, Montura 3 at Grand Polo, Beyond's Soulever, DAMAC's Velencia and Imtiaz's Kore.
One table, refreshed every week, built from Property Finder's Dubai new-projects listing (which carries no publication date, so treat it as a snapshot). Payment plans are shown as booking/construction/handover percentages as the portal lists them; some rows have no plan published. All figures are indicative and sourced as of 5 November 2026 — verify directly with the developer before acting on any figure shown. DLD fee (4%) and Oqood registration are not included in any price.

My shortcut when comparing multiple launches: filter by handover year first. Near-term handovers (2027-2028) mean less construction-risk time but a shorter payment-plan runway; 2029-2031 gives more time to pay but longer illiquidity. Pick your horizon, then compare developers and areas within it.
How to Read This Table
Starting Price: The lowest advertised unit price where the developer or a major portal has published one. 'On request' / 'See developer' means a price or plan was not published in the sources checked; 'On request' (price) means the developer has not listed a public starting price as of 5 November 2026 — contact the developer's sales team directly. DLD fees (4%) and Oqood registration are not included in any figure shown.
Payment Plan (e.g. 80/20, 10/70/20): Construction%/Handover% (or Booking%/Construction%/Handover%). An 80/20 plan means 80% paid in staged instalments during construction and 20% on handover. Always confirm the exact milestone schedule in writing before signing.
Status — glossary: 'New to tracker' = added to this tracker's peer set for the first time this refresh after appearing in Property Finder's Dubai new-projects listing. 'Last checked 29 Oct' = carried over from the 29 October sweep and not re-confirmed this week. 'Pre-construction' = listed but construction has not started. 'Selling' = open for reservation with active inventory. 'TBC' = handover date not yet published by the developer as of 5 November 2026.
This month's individual launch deep-dives on the blog: Danah Bay Tower, Al Marjan Island | Joud Tower, Dubai | Agua Residences, Dubai Islands | Sei on Saadiyat Island, Abu Dhabi | Arthouse Hills, Arjan | Omya Residences, Dubai | Samana Hills, South Arjan | Elo 1, DAMAC Hills 2 | Dugasta Properties launches | Ayami Residence, Dubai.
Each linked guide carries its own sourced pricing, payment-plan and yield breakdown — figures aren't repeated here to avoid duplicating numbers that move independently of this index's weekly refresh.
What to Check Before Buying Off-Plan
Dubai has one of the more regulated off-plan frameworks globally. RERA requires all projects to hold stage payments in dedicated escrow accounts, and the Oqood system tracks every off-plan contract. Check these before signing anything:
RERA / Oqood registration — Verify the project is registered at dubailand.gov.ae before paying a booking fee. An unregistered project is a red flag.
Developer track record — How many projects has the developer completed, and were they on time? Longer-established developers carry more delivered-project history to check than newer entrants.
Escrow account — Stage payments must go to an RERA-approved escrow account, released only against certified construction milestones. Confirm this in writing before signing.
DLD 4% fee + Oqood — Budget approximately 4% of the purchase price for Dubai Land Department (DLD) transfer fees plus AED 3,000-5,000 for Oqood registration — on top of the purchase price and typically not included in payment plans.
Handover dates are estimates — Off-plan completion dates slip. Don't commit to rental contracts or visa timelines that depend on a specific handover quarter.
Resale / assignment rules — If you may want to sell before handover, check the developer's assignment policy — some charge a fee, others restrict assignment until a minimum payment milestone is reached.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is off-plan property in Dubai?
Off-plan means buying a property before it is built. You reserve a unit based on developer plans, pay in staged instalments tied to construction progress, and receive the keys at handover. It's popular in Dubai because payment plans spread the cost across two to four years, and launch prices are often below comparable finished property in the same area.
Is buying off-plan in Dubai safe?
Dubai's RERA escrow and Oqood framework makes it one of the more regulated off-plan markets globally. The main risks are developer delays and, rarely, project cancellation. Buying from a developer with a track record of delivered projects, confirming RERA registration, and verifying an active escrow account reduces risk. Speak to a RERA-registered agent or licensed financial adviser before committing.
Can expats and non-residents buy off-plan in Dubai?
Yes. Dubai allows foreigners to buy freehold property in designated freehold zones — virtually all projects in this table qualify. A purchase of AED 2 million or above can make buyers eligible for the UAE Property Golden Visa (10-year renewable residency); verify current eligibility thresholds with GDRFA before relying on this for visa planning, as conditions can change.
What total costs should I budget beyond the purchase price?
Budget approximately 5-7% on top of the purchase price: DLD fee (4%), Oqood registration (roughly AED 3,000-5,000), agent fee if buying through a broker (typically 2%), and any developer admin or NOC charges. Some developers absorb the DLD fee during launch promotions — confirm what's included before signing the sales agreement.
Why do some rows in this table say 'On request'?
Virella at The Valley (and DAMAC's Cetara / Sorrento, last checked 29 Oct) show no starting price on the Property Finder listing, so no public figure was available as of 5 November 2026. Rather than estimate a figure with no source behind it, this tracker marks them 'On request' and will update the row the moment a price is published.
