Business Bay off-plan with a 10% down payment: 18 projects
18 of the 68 off-plan projects in Business Bay, Dubai, publish a plan asking ten percent of the price on booking: 27% of the community. The median starting price is AED 3,031,248, and the middle half of them start between AED 2.35M and AED 8.29M. The median project asks AED 3,484 per sqft, across 15 projects with priced units.

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.
