Off-Plan
Apartments for sale in Dubai under AED 5M
Up to AED 5M buys genuine choice: larger family apartments, townhouses in the major masterplans, and villas outside the trophy districts. Every disclosed price in this bracket above AED 2M clears the Golden Visa threshold, and the segment attracts end-users as much as investors, which historically cushions it in soft markets.

Apartments are the deepest and most liquid segment of the UAE off-plan market, which cuts both ways: the widest choice of payment plans and price points, but also the segment where tower quality varies most between developers. The projects that hold value at handover share the same traits: a developer with a delivery track record, a district with real infrastructure spending, and service charges that leave room for net yield.
Dubai remains the reference market of the region: buyer payments sit in RERA-supervised escrow under Law 8 of 2007, transfer costs are a flat 4% DLD fee, there is no annual property tax, and the resale market for off-plan contracts is active enough that exiting before handover is a realistic strategy rather than a theory.
Right now the supply in this segment concentrates in Dubai Islands, Dubai South (Dubai World Central) and Jumeirah Village Circle. Emaar Properties, Azizi Developments and Damac Properties are the most active developers here. Disclosed starting prices open at AED 310,000 and reach AED 5M, with handovers scheduled between 2026 and 2032.
