Dubai Islands off-plan handing over in 2027: 79 projects
79 of the 187 off-plan projects in Dubai Islands, Dubai, are scheduled to hand over in 2027: 42% of the community. By quarter: Q1 17, Q2 17, Q3 13, Q4 32. The median starting price is AED 2,295,000, and the middle half of them start between AED 1.89M and AED 2.60M. The median project asks AED 2,329 per sqft, across 63 projects with priced units.
50 of the 75 projects stating a sale status are not marked sold out at the last observation. A handover year is the developer's published target, not a certificate of completion, and the date moves often: read it as when the keys are promised.
Projects handing over in 2027
A project is in this list when its developer publishes a delivery date in 2027 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 2027 is listed, including the 16 with no priced units and the 3 with no published starting price.
