The 50/50 payment plan: 430 projects offer it
430 tracked off-plan projects publish 467 payment plans on this structure, half before keys, half on handover. That is 19% of the 2,265 off-plan projects whose published schedule the corpus can read, offered by 188 developers across 89 communities.
Priced across 16,764 unit records, the median asks AED 1,443,000 for 809 sqft, or AED 1,977 per sqft. 2 published structures ask more per sqft than this one and 7 ask less, on a range running AED 1,624 to 2,273. The terms are not free: a structure that defers more of the price is worth more to the buyer at the same headline number, which is what the discount column below prices.
88% of the priced records sit in Dubai. The largest handover cohort inside the set is 2027, with 146 projects scheduled. 29% of the 430 projects publishing a sale status are already marked gone, so treat the list below as evidence of terms rather than of availability.
What it is worth against the other structures
| Structure | Projects | Developers | Priced records | AED/sqft | Booking | Plan discount |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 90/10 | 74 | 26 | 1,192 | 1,624 | 10% | 4.48% |
| 80/20 | 318 | 38 | 3,747 | 1,866 | 20% | 5.83% |
| 70/30 | 238 | 59 | 10,439 | 2,273 | 20% | 5.00% |
| 60/40 | 580 | 171 | 17,007 | 2,167 | 15% | 5.33% |
| 50/50 | 430 | 188 | 16,764 | 1,977 | 10% | 5.04% |
| 40/60 | 332 | 154 | 6,124 | 1,874 | 10% | 5.06% |
| 30/70 | 177 | 101 | 8,164 | 1,847 | 10% | 4.94% |
| 20/80 | 71 | 44 | 2,868 | 1,742 | 20% | 3.48% |
| Post-handover | 392 | 157 | 11,236 | 1,644 | 10% | 7.26% |
| 1% monthly | 88 | 49 | 4,524 | 1,658 | 20% | 8.01% |
The plan discount is the published schedule discounted to present value at 5.0% a year against the headline price it is quoted at, so a deeper number means more of the price is deferred and the terms are worth more at the same asking figure. The deepest structure on this measure is 1% monthly, at 8.01%. Structures overlap: a project publishing two plans is counted under both, which is why the project column sums past the 2,265 projects behind the set.

The projects
Ordered by how much priced inventory each project publishes, which is the depth of the evidence behind its numbers rather than a ranking of the offer. Every project here publishes at least one plan on this structure; many publish others alongside it.
How this is counted
The corpus holds 11,667 parsed payment steps across 4,159 published plans. 3,193 of those, on 2,265 live off-plan projects, have steps that sum to a plausible whole and are the base every figure on this page is computed over. A plan is filed by what the buyer owes and when: nothing after the keys makes it a split, an instalment after the keys makes it post-handover whatever the split, and a plan whose steps name a monthly percentage is counted again under the monthly cadence.
A structure earns a page at 60 projects. Paid in full before handover carries 238 projects, 10/90 carries 3 projects, which is why neither has one. Percentages are rounded to the nearest ten before a plan is filed, so a 15/85 schedule counts as one of these buckets rather than as a bucket of its own.
