Al Satwa off-plan with a 20% down payment: 17 projects

17 of the 48 off-plan projects in Al Satwa, Dubai, publish a plan asking twenty percent of the price on booking: 35% of the community. The median starting price is AED 1,150,112, and the middle half of them start between AED 1.10M and AED 1.72M. The median project asks AED 2,321 per sqft, across 14 projects with priced units.

On the 19 plans that ask it, the median share due before handover is 50%, so the deposit is the first payment of several, not the whole price. Across every off-plan project in Al Satwa the median starting price is AED 1,100,000, so this band starts 5% above the address as a whole. 15 of the 17 projects stating a sale status are not marked sold out at the last observation.

Projects with a 20% down payment

A project is in this list when at least one of its readable payment plans asks twenty percent of the price on booking. Booking and before handover are the shares of the project's first plan in the band, and a project can publish more than one. Plans count only where their stages sum to between 90 and 110 percent of the price. Handover dates are the developer's published target and move often. Every project in the band is listed.
