3 bedroom off-plan: AED 4,180,000 median

5,648 priced 3 bedroom unit records sit in the tracked UAE off-plan book, 11% of every priced record in the corpus. The median asks AED 4,180,000 for 2,022 sqft, which is AED 2,000 per sqft. Half of the book sits between AED 2,877,497 and AED 6,003,638, and between 1,690 and 2,630 sqft.

Dubai carries 4,301 of those records, 76% of the rung, at a median AED 4,000,000 and AED 2,004 per sqft. Prices are developer asking prices on published unit tables, not transactions. Every figure below states the number of records behind it.

The communities deep enough for their own rung page

3 bedroom by address

Each of these reads the same rung inside one community: the distribution, which schemes still sell it, what one more bedroom costs at that address, and how the address compares with its peers on this rung. Why the address moves the rate further than the rung does is measured in address beats bedroom count.

The full report: every community, every developer, ranked.

3 bedroom off-plan in context: price per sqft by community and developer, payment plan structures ranked by cash due before handover, the 2026 to 2029 delivery pipeline, and the CSV behind every table. PDF plus data, delivered instantly.

Computed by OffplanIndex from developer-published inventories, July 2026. A priced record is one unit row carrying an asking price, so a tower publishing 400 rows counts 400 times and a villa book publishing a single from price counts once. Aggregates are ours; the underlying listings belong to the developers who published them. Not investment advice. Method and exclusions: methodology. The whole rung ladder: the bedroom note.
