Why investors look at it

Title is freehold. There is no annual income tax or capital gains tax on the property in the UAE. With 60% deferred to completion, most of the capital stays with you during construction. Rental returns would start after the 2029 handover.

Investment notes

Projected capital appreciation in comparable Dubai off-plan segments has often been discussed in the market as potentially exceeding around 15% per annum in strong cycles — past performance is not a guarantee of future results, and returns vary by project, timing, and market conditions. Off-plan units can often be resold (assigned) prior to completion, which some buyers use to realise gains before handover, subject to developer rules (developers commonly require a minimum percentage to be paid before an assignment is approved), transfer fees, and market demand.
