Developers in the UAE

Real estate from developers in the United Arab Emirates is popular among foreigners looking for a reliable and high-quality holiday home, relocation destination or investment asset. The high demand is explained by the UAE’s high standard of living, extensive resort and social facilities and attractive prices. Off-plan homes are available at a bargain. The price is the lowest when the properties are launched onto the market, and this is also when customers can choose from a variety of floor plans.

These options are great for buyers wanting to settle into a newly-finished home and not wait for the project’s commissioning. However, most residences are sold during construction, regardless of the type of complex. Premium homes in limited series often sell even faster than apartments in regular buildings that don’t boast a great number of additional amenities.

Reliable construction companies

Potential buyers may be concerned about the security of transactions with off-plan properties but it’s quite easy to choose a reliable developer in the UAE. You need to:

  • Study their business reputation;
  • Look at their portfolio and reviews;
  • Find out how many projects have already been completed and how many are at the implementation stage.

The better the reputation and the greater the number of commissioned residential complexes, the lower the risk for an investor. In addition, the UAE legislation carefully protects investors’ interests. The following measures are adopted to control the timeframes and quality of construction, so buyers can be sure their investment is safe:

  • Off-plan real estate for sale from developers is offered under instalment plans, so you won’t have to pay the entire amount at once. In most projects, 20 to 50% of the value is paid upon handover.
  • A construction company in the UAE may only launch the sales if it owns the development site.
  • The money received from buyers is kept in an escrow account, and the Land Department controls the operational financing, so the developer, in fact, uses their existing assets to pay for the project’s construction.

You can see many trustworthy developers in the UAE on our website. The largest construction companies in the UAE develop entire areas. For example, Aldar, one of Abu Dhabi’s leading developers, was responsible for several major projects on Yas Islands. Imkan, based in Abu Dhabi, is no less famous and operates on two continents. Emaar Properties is also among the major construction companies in the UAE. Its projects are renowned all over the world but are concentrated in Dubai. These include the Burj Khalifa skyscraper, the Dubai Mall and many premium residential complexes.

Property investment from developers in the UAE

Property from developers in the UAE is consistently gaining in popularity, as confirmed by statistical data. For instance, the total number of deals closed in Dubai in 2022 reached 122,658, which is 44.7% more than the year before. Local developers implement many new projects, so buyers can easily find an option to suit any purpose.

Since the pandemic, high-end homes have been enjoying particular attention, as buyers prefer to invest in more spacious apartments and houses.

There are two potential investment strategies for buying property from developers:

  • Purchasing an apartment or a house at the launch of sales and reselling it at the time of commissioning with a double-digit price differential;
  • Leasing out the completed property and receiving a steady income. The return on investment is quite high in Dubai, ranging from 5 to 8% per year. The final amount depends on the property type and the community.

Both types of investment will protect your money from inflation and generate a return.

Sales launch of off-plan projects in the UAE

Overseas investors can have full ownership rights on real estate located in freehold zones. There are dozens of such areas in the UAE and their number continues to grow. Most are concentrated in Dubai, where they are found both in central districts and in resort waterfront communities, so the choice is quite wide. UAE developers work in different locations to satisfy the consistently growing demand for quality homes.
