Best off-plan residential projects in Dubai available today

UAE developers launched four premium projects promising to become the season’s highlights.

The construction completion is scheduled for Q2 2025.

Damac Harbour Lights

This high-rise 52-storey tower in Dubai with panoramic-view apartments from the famous developer Damac Properties was designed by the jewellery brand de Grisogono. The waterfront complex will be located in the high-potential Dubai Maritime City in the heart of the emirate’s maritime industry, near a yacht marina, luxurious skyscrapers with offices, and prestigious tourist neighbourhoods.

The project promises to become one of the most popular new buildings in Dubai for foreigners to relocate to. Damac Harbour Lights offers one- to three-bedroom apartments with premium finishing and stunning views from the windows as all the residences face the water. Another feature is the unique floating pool on the waters of the Persian Gulf.

A one-bedroom apartment in this new residential project costs from AED 1.32 million to AED 1.64 million (from USD 359,500 to USD 446,500), a two-bedroom home is worth from AED 2.2 million to AED 2.5 million (from USD 599,000 to USD 680,500), and a three-bedroom residence, from AED 2.34 million to AED 3.28 (from USD 637,000 to USD 893,000). The floor areas range from 74 to 158 m2.

Damac Harbour Lights will become a great investment as such an offer is rare for the local real estate market. According to Aram Grigoryan, Senior Property Expert at AX CAPITAL, buying a home by the sea is now challenging in Dubai, and the projects that do offer it are 50% more expensive. Clients of AX CAPITAL are also entitled to an exclusive offer: the first 30 buyers of properties in the new residential project will receive a 2% discount on title registration.

An 80/20 instalment plan is available.

The construction is due for completion in Q2 2027.

Marina Living

This promising new building in Dubai is a 19-storey tower with two podiums developed by Continental Investment. The complex will be located in the famous resort community of Dubai Marina with extensive facilities for seaside leisure and water sports. Residents of Marina Living will have access to various amenities:

An infinity pool on the top floor;
Landscaped gardens;
A padel court;
A gym;
A barbecue area;
A children’s playground.

Residents of this prestigious skyscraper in Dubai will have access to the extensive facilities of Dubai Marina with its Marina Walk, beaches, hotels, shops, bars, cafés, restaurants, and entertainment venues.

One- and two-bedroom residences with a floor area of 67 to 112 m2 and spacious 9-19 m2 balconies are available in Marina Living. They are worth from AED 1.37 million to AED 2.07 (from USD 373,000 to USD 563,500). Buyers can use a 60/40 instalment plan.

The construction is scheduled for completion in Q2 2025.

Price growth in Dubai and off-plan projects

All of the above projects are at the early development stages, so their prices will increase as the construction progresses. The difference in value between the start of sales of off-plan properties and the project commissioning may eventually reach 20-30%, so buyers who close the deal now can resell their property in 2-4 years and make a significant profit.

It should also be taken into account that property prices grow actively in Dubai, and this is a long-term trend that is particularly prominent in the case of premium homes. The average prices grew by 9-23% in 2023 depending on the property type, but the growth in prestigious communities reached 100%.

This is also true for rentals. They increased by 9-14% on average and by 50% in high-end locations.

Buying real estate in any of these residential complexes also makes the buyer eligible for a two- or five-year UAE residence visa that can be renewed.
