Off-plan townhouses: AED 3,664,500 median

1,936 priced townhouse records sit in the tracked UAE off-plan book, 4% of every priced record in the corpus, published across 404 projects. The median asks AED 3,664,500 for 2,418 sqft, which is AED 1,320 per sqft. Half of the book sits between AED 2,800,000 and AED 4,387,213, and between 2,117 and 3,014 sqft.

Ranked on the ticket it is the 4th dearest of 5 tracked types, but ranked on price per square foot it is the 5th. Floor area, not the label, is what moves the asking price. Dubai carries 1,642 of the records, 85% of the type, at a median AED 3,643,000 and AED 1,351 per sqft. Prices are developer asking prices on published unit tables, not transactions.

Records count unit rows, projects count schemes, and one scheme can publish more than one type. The type label is the developer's own, so a serviced tower and a plain tower both file as apartments.

43% of the townhouses in the book sit on the 4 BR rung, which is what the headline median is really describing. Rungs with fewer than 20 priced records inside this type are dropped. The same rungs across every type are compared in the property type note. How this product sits against the addresses that sell it: the community median is priced for the flat next door.

Townhouse benchmarks by address

Each of these reads townhouses inside one community: the distribution, which schemes still sell them, what the same address charges for a different product, and how it compares with its peers. A community appears only where townhouses are a real slice of its book rather than the whole of it.

The full report: every community, every developer, ranked.

Off-plan townhouses in context: price per sqft by community and developer, payment plan structures ranked by cash due before handover, the 2026 to 2029 delivery pipeline, and the CSV behind every table. PDF plus data, delivered instantly.

Computed by OffplanIndex from developer-published inventories, July 2026. A priced record is one unit row carrying an asking price, so a tower publishing 400 rows counts 400 times and a villa book publishing a single from price counts once. Aggregates are ours; the underlying listings belong to the developers who published them. Not investment advice. Method and exclusions: methodology. The same book cut by bedroom count: off-plan by bedroom.
