Dubai Projects Handing Over in 2026 & 2027
These are the major Dubai developments completing this year and next — and where genuine resale opportunities appear as original off-plan buyers exit before or at handover. Buying a near-handover resale gets you a brand-new home without the multi-year wait, often with the remaining payment plan assignable. Industry analysis suggests only around half of units scheduled for 2026 will hand over on time, so developer track record matters: Emaar, Sobha and Nakheel hold the strongest on-time delivery records.
Address Beachfront (Emaar Beachfront)
Emaar · Handover: Q4 2026
Branded beachfront apartments on Emaar Beachfront with private beach access. Near-handover resales attract buyers who missed the launch and want to skip the waitlist.
Beachgate by Address
Emaar · Handover: Q4 2026
Address-branded residences on Emaar Beachfront, completing Q4 2026. Genuine resales here typically trade above launch price but below expected post-handover values.
Lime Gardens (Dubai Hills Estate)
Emaar · Handover: Q1 2026
Family apartments in Dubai Hills from ~AED 1.12M at launch. Handing over now — resale units offer immediate Dubai Hills entry without the multi-year wait.
Terra Heights (Expo Living)
Emaar · Handover: 2026
Energy-efficient apartments beside Expo City, benefiting from Route 2020 metro and the Expo district’s infrastructure build-out.
DAMAC Lagoons — Morocco Cluster
DAMAC · Handover: Q4 2026
4–7 bed villas and townhouses in the Mediterranean-themed lagoon district. Near-handover resales let families secure a completed-spec home before amenities open.
Sobha One (Sobha Hartland, MBR City)
Sobha · Handover: Q4 2026
Five interconnected towers with golf, from ~AED 1.1M at launch. Sobha’s on-time delivery record makes near-handover resales here lower-risk than most.
Sobha Estates
Sobha · Handover: Q4 2026
Flagship 5–6 bed villas with private gardens and pools, from AED 22M+. Ultra-prime buyers increasingly prefer completed or near-complete resale over multi-year builds.
Karl Lagerfeld Villas (Meydan)
Taraf · Handover: Q2 2027
Designer-branded villas in Meydan handing over 2027. Branded-villa resales are scarce; early exit sellers create rare entry points.
Vela Viento (Business Bay)
OMNIYAT · Handover: Q2 2027
Dorchester-serviced waterfront residences on Marasi Bay. OMNIYAT’s ultra-luxury pre-handover resales are a discreet, negotiated market — enquire directly.
