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.
Prices, the 35/65 and 50/50 plans, the 7% guarantee on the offices, the developer's record, rents, resale and buying from abroad, in 12 parts with every figure sourced and dated, plus the brochures and floor plans to download.
LMD's 87 floor Rockefeller-branded office tower on Sheikh Zayed Road: 332 Grade A offices from 1,077 sq ft, two 50/50 plans with 20% in the first year, Q2 2031 keys. Prices are by invitation; at the quoted Dh4,200 to Dh5,200 a foot, here is the cost and the rent it needs.
Ellington's 60 floor Grade A office tower next to Business Bay metro: 109 offices from 1,132 sq ft, an indicative Dh4,500 to Dh5,000 a foot, and a 70/30 plan that takes 40% in year one. The full cost, the instalments and the rent it needs.
Marquis Aura: 220 apartments in Dubai South that Marquis places next to the metro station. Studios from Dh660,000, a 40/60 or 60/40 post handover plan, refundable EOI from Dh25,000, and pre-launch offers that end at launch, expected at the end of October.
Kore by Imtiaz: a wellness tower in DLRC with studios from Dh679,000, a 50/50 or 60/40 plan with three years after handover, and Q4 2028 keys. The two bedroom, at 1,406 sq ft, is priced below the district's off-plan median.
Five home types from an AED 5.9M average on a 60/40 plan to January 2031, and beach plots at AED 19M paid in full by 2029. The attached villa Plus is the best space for money; pools are not in the price.
93 four bedroom townhouses from AED 2,194,000, on a 60/40 plan to December 2028. Stack the 4 percent DLD waiver with up to 4 percent off and the entry unit lands at AED 2,106,240 all in, which is 7.7 percent below the ordinary cost. What the DAMAC Lagoons precedent does and does not tell you.
The developer's own floor plan set gives 754 homes and 528 studios, not the 525 homes and 383 one-beds in the launch note. Here is the spec off the drawings, the price anchors, and what 528 studios in one building does to your rent.
Freehold at Wasl 1 next to Zabeel Park, with three and four-bedroom duplexes that barely exist elsewhere in central Dubai. Price not published, so here is phase one as the anchor.
349 apartments over 20 floors, 60 percent of them one-beds, opposite Global Village. No price published yet, so here is the anchor and the questions that matter.
Studios from AED 774,999 in Al Jaddaf, 26 floors, offices and retail in the same building, and a Green Line station in the community. No published payment plan.
Townhouses from AED 1.6M on a 55/45 plan that opens at 5 percent, the cheapest door in a major developer's portfolio. The price list, the plan against the market, Aldar's own H1 2026 numbers, its phased pricing method, and the 8 percent yields Al Ghadeer already prints.
Apartments and duplexes from AED 2.6M on a 20/55/25 plan, handover October 2028. The entry works out near Dh3,368 per sqft, 9 percent over the City Walk average. What the district's thirteen year record justifies, and the three points of yield you give up to be here.
Skyview is the exclusive sales partner for Myra by Sikanta. Studios from Dh680,000, one bedrooms from Dh1.1M, a low-rise G+5 building of 64 apartments, handover Q2 2027, and 40/60 and 30/70 plans that keep the developer paid only when they deliver.
Full price list from Dh666,000, unit sizes, both payment plans compared, the eighteen amenities, DLRC drive times and the Q3 2028 handover. Plus the net yield once an unpublished service charge is modelled in, and the size discrepancy in the developer's own brochure.
Emaar Valia, still at EOI and pre launch: 491 units in Dubai Creek Harbour, from about Dh2.06M, roughly Dh2,510 per sqft, 20 percent a year to a 2030 handover. A good tower, but ready stock and better structures are on the table right now.
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.
What a young developer got right at an 18-storey DLRC tower still on sale in October 2026: 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.
