Frequently asked questions
How many property developers are there in Dubai?
We track 441 developers with live inventory across Dubai and the wider UAE, holding 1,923 active projects between them. The count ranges from master developers planning whole communities to boutique firms delivering a single tower.
Who are the biggest property developers in Dubai?
By active project count in our catalogue the leaders are Emaar, Azizi, DAMAC, Binghatti, Sobha, Samana, Ellington, Imtiaz Development. Emaar and Nakheel are also master developers, meaning they masterplan whole communities rather than single plots.
What is the difference between a master developer and a sub-developer?
A master developer owns and masterplans a whole community, builds the infrastructure and sets the service charges. A sub-developer buys a plot inside that community and builds on it, so your running costs are still shaped by the master developer.
Are new Dubai developers safe to buy from?
Off-plan payments in Dubai sit in a RERA-supervised escrow account tied to the individual project and are released against construction milestones. That protects the capital but not the timeline, so a developer with no delivered project still carries schedule and finish risk.
Which Dubai developer is best for investment?
There is no single answer, because delivery record, price per square foot and resale depth differ by community. We rank developers on on-time handover history, build quality from delivered projects, asking price against the community median and how deep the secondary market is for their stock.
