Measured across our own catalogue of Dubai off-plan projects, refreshed with the source listings. Entry price is the lowest advertised unit price in a project, not an average transaction value.
What you pay, and when
The published payment plan is 10% on booking, 55% during construction, 5% at handover and 30% after handover. At the AED 1,324,000 entry price, that is AED 132,000 to reserve a unit, AED 728,000 across the build, and AED 66,000 due on completion.
Dubai Land Department registration is charged at 4% of the purchase price on top, which is about AED 53,000 at this entry price. That 10% booking payment does not go to BT Holdings directly: under Dubai's Law 8 of 2007 a registered project holds it in a RERA-supervised escrow account, drawn down against certified construction progress.
What the entry price works out at
The cheapest unit with a published size is 1,143 square feet at AED 1,324,000, which works out at AED 1,158 per square foot. Stated sizes run from 400 to 5,371 square feet.
