Handover dates are the developer's own published schedule and they move. Read this as where completion risk and rental supply concentrate in 2027, not as a delivery guarantee.

How this is computed
A project counts toward 2027 when the developer's published handover date falls in that calendar year. Projects with no published date are not counted anywhere, so the shares are shares of dated projects. "Priced units due" sums the priced unit records attached to those projects, which is inventory we have prices for rather than the full unit count of the building. "Median AED/sqft, 2027 cohort" is the median of the per-project median asking prices among the 2027 projects that publish prices, so a project counts once regardless of how many units it lists; the community median next to it covers all tracked projects in the community for comparison. Communities with fewer than three projects due in 2027 are left out. Figures are OffplanIndex aggregates over developer-published project facts and unit inventories, not a copy of any listing database.
Full definitions, exclusion rules and sources are in the methodology, and what we do and do not republish is set out in the data policy. Built 2026-09-02 from data observed to 2026-07-30. Not investment advice.
