Off-plan properties are a top choice for investors, and it’s easy to see why. Recently, we’ve witnessed a staggering 35.5% rise in transactions for off-plan properties among international investors in Dubai.
But what does this shift indicate about our Dubai real estate market? Let’s talk about it.
What Is Dubai’s Off-Plan Property Market?
If you’re not familiar with the term ‘off-plan property,’ it simply refers to a home that has not yet been completed. When you purchase an off-plan property in Dubai, you’re choosing a property that is either in the planning stage or currently under construction.
Since these properties are in the building or post-development stage, the demand is impressive. This was especially evident in Dubai when off-plan sales accounted for approximately 63% of all property transactions, up from 54% in 2023, followed by a further surge in the following years.

Why 2025 Is a Pivotal Year for Off-Plan Real Estate?
The growing preference for off-plan properties in Dubai is associated with the flexibility they offer—allowing buyers to make smaller investments rather than paying the entire amount upfront while also giving them a chance to leverage the rising property values and personalize the interior design and layout according to their choices.
But 2025 is the year for off-plan properties in Dubai. Mainly, the reasons include:
- Infrastrucure boom: While Dubai’s off-plan sales dominate 63% of the residential sales market, we can already see large projects on the line. Also, with the Dubai Metro expansion, the Museum of the Future, and the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan, the expansion and connectivity will further go on, and 2025 is the beginning. You can also see prime areas like Dubai Creek Harbour, Business Bay, and Dubai Hills Estate becoming hotspots for more off-plan investments.
- Chance for property appreciation: Get your pockets and checks ready because the ROI from off-plan is already setting records over the recent years. Based on recent reports, Dubai off-plan properties, once completed, are getting rental yields between 7% and 8%.
- Incentives benefits: Beyond the attractive features of Dubai’s market, such as favorable tax incentives, there are also multiple visa options. The Golden Visa and Property Visa programs are more advantageous than ever, providing significant opportunities and benefits for off-plan property investments.
