Downtown Dubai off-plan handing over in 2026: 6 projects
6 of the 24 off-plan projects in Downtown Dubai, Dubai, are scheduled to hand over in 2026: 25% of the community. By quarter: Q1 1, Q2 1, Q3 2, Q4 2. The median starting price is AED 2,074,634, and the middle half of them start between AED 1.60M and AED 2.62M. The median project asks AED 3,486 per sqft, across 3 projects with priced units.

A project is in this list when its developer publishes a delivery date in 2026 and it is still off-plan: a project already marked delivered is not counted. AED/sqft is the project's own median over its priced unit records, and priced units is how many of those records it carries. Every project landing in 2026 is listed, including the 3 with no priced units and the 1 with no published starting price.
