Developers in Dubai and Abu Dhabi at a glance
When buying off-plan, the developer is the single most important decision – more important than layout or finishes. Here are the developers whose projects we work with regularly, with history, landmark projects and typical payment plans, so you can assess offers before reserving.
How we assess developers
Maximilian Popolari and his team visit a developer's completed buildings, compare planned and actual handover dates and check project and escrow registration with the Dubai Land Department. More in our guide to off-plan property in Dubai.
