Property Developers in the UAE

An authoritative guide to the developers building across the Emirates. A developer is the licensed company that funds, builds and hands over a project — the entity your sale and purchase agreement is signed with, not the broker who sells it. Oplus International Realty tracks 82 developers and 83 projects.

Before committing, confirm the developer and the specific project are registered with the Dubai Land Department and RERA for a Dubai purchase, or with ADREC via DARI for an Abu Dhabi one. Both registers are public and free to search.

Answers

Frequently asked questions

The questions buyers ask us most about UAE developers, answered plainly.

Ask your question
How many property developers are listed in this UAE directory?

This directory currently tracks 82 developers with 83 projects recorded against them. The counts are generated from the live Oplus database each time the page is rebuilt, so they change as projects launch or complete.

What is the difference between an off-plan and a ready property from a developer?

An off-plan property is bought before construction finishes and is paid through a milestone-linked plan, with buyer funds held in a regulated escrow account. A ready property is complete and transfers on payment. In Dubai the escrow requirement sits with the Dubai Land Department; in Abu Dhabi it is administered by ADREC. Off-plan usually needs a smaller amount at booking; ready delivers rent from day one.

How do I verify that a UAE developer and its project are properly registered?

Check the developer and the specific project against the official register for that emirate: the Dubai Land Department and RERA for Dubai, and the Abu Dhabi Real Estate Centre (ADREC) through the DARI platform for Abu Dhabi. Both publish developer registration and project escrow status. Any brokerage marketing the unit must also quote a valid permit number.

Can a non-resident buy directly from a developer in the UAE?

Yes. Foreign nationals can buy freehold in designated areas of Dubai and Abu Dhabi without residing in the country, and a purchase at or above AED 2 million can support a Golden Visa application. Oplus handles the paperwork remotely for buyers who cannot travel — see the international buyer guides for the requirements per nationality.

Which emirates do the developers in this directory build in?

The listed developers are active across 3 emirates in this directory. Use the emirate filter above to narrow the list to a single market before comparing project pipelines.

Does Oplus charge the buyer a fee for introducing a developer?

For off-plan purchases the developer pays the brokerage commission, so the buyer does not pay Oplus a separate introduction fee. Government transfer fees, registration charges and any mortgage costs are still payable by the buyer and are itemised in writing before you commit.

  • Every fee itemised in writing at reservation stage, not after.
