When do off-plan projects under 1M in City of Arabia hand over?
Projects under AED 1 million in the City of Arabia catalogue are handing over between 2027 and 2028. The heaviest handover year is 2027 with 7 projects due. Handover timing matters for budget buyers: a shorter payment tail leaves less cash on the sidelines during construction, while a longer post-handover payment plan (see below) can spread the balance well past the delivery date.
Do off-plan projects under 1M in City of Arabia come with post-handover payment plans?
None of the 10 projects under AED 1 million in our City of Arabia catalogue currently advertise a post-handover payment plan (PHPP). Plans in this Dubai submarket are typically front-loaded — 10–20% at booking (about AED 100K–AED 200K at the under 1M ceiling), staged instalments during construction, balance at handover. If PHPP is a hard requirement for cash-flow reasons, our post-handover payment plan hub lists every sitewide catalogue entry that offers one.
What payment plans do under 1M developers in City of Arabia offer?
The most-common structured payment plans for projects under AED 1 million in City of Arabia today are 10/50/40 (6 projects), 10/60/30 (1 project), and 80/20 (1 project). Each plan reads as booking-down-payment / during-construction / handover — for example 20/50/30 means 20% at booking, 50% staged over construction milestones, and the balance 30% at handover. On an entry unit under 1M, a 20% booking translates to roughly AED 112K up front — plan the cash cushion for the pre-construction phase before signing.
