New Dubai projects & off-plan launches

Off-plan means buying directly from the developer before or during construction — about 60–70% of all Dubai sales. You reserve a unit with a 10–20% deposit, then pay the balance on a construction-linked plan (commonly 60/40, 70/30, or 1% per month), with handover typically 1–3 years out. The appeal is a lower entry price, flexible payments and capital growth while the building completes.

Foreigners get full freehold ownership and can buy entirely remotely by power of attorney. A purchase at or above AED 2M qualifies the buyer for the 10-year Golden Visa. The trade-off versus ready property is handover risk and no rental income until completion — which is why developer track record and realistic handover dates matter.
