Dubailand off-plan with a down payment of 5% or less: 23 projects
23 of the 108 off-plan projects in Dubailand, Dubai, publish a plan asking five percent or less of the price on booking: 21% of the community. The median starting price is AED 2,800,000, and the middle half of them start between AED 1.35M and AED 3.23M. The median project asks AED 1,318 per sqft, across 11 projects with priced units.
On the 27 plans that ask it, the median share due before handover is 60%, so the deposit is the first payment of several, not the whole price.

A project is in this list when at least one of its readable payment plans asks five percent or less 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, including the 1 with no published starting price.
