How UAE developers differ
Large state-owned and state-backed companies, including Emaar, Nakheel, Aldar and Meraas, develop whole neighbourhoods with roads, parks and schools. Their timelines are longer and prices higher, but completion is more predictable and resale demand is stronger.
Smaller private developers compete on price and payment plans. They are more likely to offer instalment plans with post-handover payments and prices from AED 1 million. With these developers, it is especially important to review their track record of completed projects and check which bank holds the escrow account.
Each project listing names the developer, the bank holding the escrow account and the current construction progress.
