157 New & Off-Plan Projects in District One, Dubai Islands

Off-plan properties are real estate developments purchased directly from the developer before construction is completed. In the UAE, this investment model has become one of the most popular ways to enter the property market, offering buyers the opportunity to secure units at pre-launch or early-stage prices that are typically 10-30% below the market value of completed properties.

The UAE's off-plan market is regulated by the Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA) in Dubai and equivalent bodies in other emirates. Developers are required to register projects with RERA and maintain escrow accounts, providing buyers with a layer of financial protection. This regulatory framework has made the UAE one of the most transparent off-plan markets in the region.
