Bedroom mix for 2026 handover

The 33 projects handing over in 2026 span these bedroom layouts: 2-bedroom (26 projects), 1-bedroom (24 projects), 3-bedroom (18 projects). 2-bedroom is the most-offered layout across the slice.

Payment plans available on 2026 handover projects

The most common payment-plan splits across this year are 20/50/30 (13), 20/40/40 (5), 20/60/20 (4). 1 project offers a post-handover payment plan (typically 40–60% payable across 24–60 months after keys). 2 projects run on a 70/30 split (70% during construction, 30% at handover). 29 accept a booking deposit of 20% or less, and 5 start at 10% or less.

The DLD 4% property-transfer fee and Oqood registration are payable separately from the booking deposit — always factor them into the true entry cost.

Rental math on 2026 handover projects

Across the 32 projects in this year that publish both an entry price and an estimated gross yield, the implied gross monthly rent is:

Median: AED 11,343/month
Range: AED 3,191 – AED 284,313/month

Numbers are entry-price × published yield ÷ 12. Actual net rent typically lands 15–25% lower after annual service charges, DEWA connection, agency letting fees and management. Use it as an ordering signal across projects in the same slice, not as an absolute cash-flow forecast.
