Past its stated handover	0 of 10	0% vs 6% market	Off-plan projects whose own published handover date has passed while the source still records them as under construction. One observation cannot separate a delayed building from a listing nobody refreshed, so this is a flag to check, not a finding: a proxy for on-time delivery, never a rate. Ranked across every developer at the delivery track record page.

Community footprint	8 communities	10 located projects	A spread book: 20% of it sits in Jumeirah Lake Towers. Concentration is a fact about exposure, in either direction, not a verdict.
Listing completeness	88%	10 off-plan	Share of five listing facts published across its own projects: price 100%, handover date 100%, unit inventory 80%, payment plan 70%, coordinates 90%. Market 86%. This scores disclosure, not the buildings.

Not measured here: delivery span and cadence; price against neighbours. Each of those needs a base this developer does not reach in the corpus, and a thin number is worse than none.

The scorecard does not measure whether Emirates hands over on time. Every project in this corpus carries one handover date, the date its listing stated when we read it. There is no separately recorded original announced date and no earlier reading of the same project to compare against, so no on-time rate can be computed, and we publish none rather than a proxy. The completions column is also bounded by what the corpus can see: 1,030 of the 1,083 delivered buildings on record handed over in 2020 or later (96%), and the corpus only sees projects that were listed on the portals we read, so an absent completion is an absence of evidence rather than evidence of absence. Full definitions, queries and limitations: methodology.

Down payment and service charge, as developers state them

Emirates launch terms

Down payment mix: of Emirates’s 7 off-plan projects with a readable payment plan, the number offering a plan with each deposit due on booking. A project can sit in more than one band.

5% or less down 4 projects 10% down 3 projects

Service charge, as Emirates states it at launch: a median of AED 23 per sqft a year across 4 projects. Not the RERA index. Every community compared.

Counted from the same readable plans and the same band tests as the payment plan pages, off-plan projects only. Each part appears once three projects support it.
