OffplanIndex
Developer head to head ยท July 2026

Compare UAE off-plan developers

Each page puts two developers on the same table: median asking price per sqft and the range around it, how much stock is priced, how much cash the typical plan wants before the keys, where each one builds, and when the pipeline is scheduled to hand over.

The 15 largest developers by tracked off-plan project count are covered, which is 105 comparisons. What is compared is the current off-plan book, not build quality and not a delivery record. Figures are computed by OffplanIndex from developer-published inventories, July 2026.

Chips carry the other developer's median AED per sqft. A developer's median is computed over its own priced units wherever they are, so a company building in one expensive community will read dearer than one spread across the emirate. See the methodology. Not investment advice.
