Launches whose numbers come from the developer's own material and pass Houman's filter. Not ads, not listings; only launches whose math holds up.
60 boutique units, freehold permit earned at 50% construction, 80% sold in months. 8% contractual rent for 3 years, no service charge, 20/80 plan, and the rent covers the mortgage. Only a few 2BRs left.
How a young developer sold out an 18-storey DLRC tower: honest pricing from Dh650K, remote-work amenities, 50% over 3 years post-handover, resale NOC at 30%, keys Q4 2028. Plus the flaws.
The first realistic apartment entry onto the new Palm: 220 homes, from about Dh2.5M, 70/30 plan, proven launch demand. The case and the catches.
Emaar Creek Haven, waterfront in Dubai Creek Harbour: from ~AED 1.8M, 20/60/20 plan, handover 2030. Launch stage, so confirm unit price and service charge in writing.
RAW District 2 by Imtiaz on Sheikh Zayed Road: furnished studios from ~AED 649k, walking distance to Dubai Marina, Golden Visa from AED 2M. Launch stage figures.
Alef's AED 4bn Linar puts a beachfront tower community right on the Dubai and Sharjah border. The thesis isn't the sea view. It's the daily commuter who buys time back at Sharjah pricing.
Furnished studios from Dh649K with a private footbridge to Jebel Ali Metro, 50/50 or post-handover to 2032, handover Q1 2029. The metro-yield math, in Houman's view.
272 low-rise homes around a sunken garden in a Dh4B masterplan, from about Dh1,300 per sqft. A capital-gain position in early-stage Dubailand, in Houman's view.
Each project's numbers come from the developer's official launch material; handover dates are developer targets, not promises. Talk to Houman before committing.
