Palm Central Private ResidencesRanges are the total purchase price.
What matters in an apartment is different from what matters in a villa. Start where your plans point.
AED 1M–3M ≈ ₹2.6 Cr–₹7.9 Cr
Weigh building quality, layout, service charges and the community around it. Check how the payment stages fit your cash flow, not just the headline price.
AED 3M–6M ≈ ₹7.9 Cr–₹15.8 Cr
Compare master communities rather than individual units: what exists today, what is only planned, plot and layout differences, and how long you may wait for handover.
AED 5M–20M ≈ ₹13.2 Cr–₹52.7 Cr
Look closely at plot, privacy, the developer’s record on comparable homes and a smaller pool of potential buyers when you come to sell. A private consultation suits this range.
Where you can own, how the sale is registered and what you pay in fees all differ. Each guide sets out what applies to a foreign buyer.
Foreign buyers can own freehold in designated areas. Off-plan sales are registered with the Dubai Land Department, and all nine developers on this site have launched projects here.
Foreign ownership in designated investment zones, with a buying process and fees distinct from Dubai’s. Compare those before you compare prices.
A smaller coastal market of island and waterfront communities, with its own registration process and fees.

ApartmentArchitectural renderH&H in Al Safa, Dubai Water Canal, Dubai
2–4 bedrooms
Price on requestCurrent price being re-confirmed
Seven low-rise buildings set in their own park on the Dubai Water Canal, beside Al Safa Park, run in-house under H&H’s Eden House brand rather than by a hotel operator.
Hotel-style service shows up in the annual service charge, so ask for the budgeted figure per square foot and the cost of the on-request services before you commit.
ApartmentArchitectural renderNakheel in Palm Jebel Ali, Dubai
1–5 bedrooms
Price on requestCurrent price being re-confirmed
Beachfront apartments and penthouses in three buildings at the centre of Palm Jebel Ali, between Fronds M and N, with direct beach access.
Palm Jebel Ali is still being developed, so check which roads, schools and shops will be open when you move in.
ApartmentArchitectural renderSobha in Sobha Sanctuary, Dubai
1–2 bedrooms
Price on requestCurrent price being re-confirmed
Apartments facing parks at the front and rear, in a masterplan where about half the land is open and green space.
Sobha Sanctuary is planned for around 20,000 families, so nearby phases may still be under construction after handover.
ApartmentBinghatti in Al Jaddaf, Dubai
Studio–2 bedrooms
Price on requestCurrent price being re-confirmed
Near Al Jaddaf Metro station on the Green Line, with an observatory deck and telescopes for residents on the amenity podium.
The Etihad Rail stop planned for Al Jaddaf is a future project, so do not rely on it when you decide.
ApartmentArchitectural renderBEYOND in The Yards, City of Arabia, Dubai
1–3 bedrooms
Price on requestCurrent price being re-confirmed
Four low-rise buildings around a sunken garden, with 4-metre living-room ceilings in select ground-floor homes.
It sits beside the first Arancia Yards phase, so compare prices and payment plans for both before choosing.
TownhouseArchitectural renderNakheel in Palm Jebel Ali, Dubai
4 bedrooms
Price on requestCurrent price being re-confirmed
Four-bedroom townhouses on the ground floor with private garages, opening onto the landscaped deck and the beach.
You share facilities and service charges with a 212-home development, so ask for the estimated service charge.
Share your budget and plans, and an adviser matches off-plan projects that fit, including new launches.
Five checks that separate a sound purchase from an expensive one. They work on any project, including one you have been offered elsewhere.
An adviser checks it against these five points before you pay a booking deposit.
Get a second opinionVisit or look up completed projects of the same type. Were they handed over close to the promised date, and how do they look, let and resell today? A launch brochure tells you little about delivery.
In Dubai, an off-plan project must be registered with the Dubai Land Department, and your instalments are paid into the project’s escrow account rather than to the developer. Ask for both before you pay a booking deposit.
Put every instalment against a date you can meet, then add the 4% Dubai Land Department fee and registration costs. A plan that runs past handover eases cash flow, but can come with a higher total price.
Schools, shops, beaches and metro links shown in a masterplan can be years behind the homes. Judge the price on what will be open in your handover year, not the finished picture.
Compare prices of finished homes nearby, rental demand for the layout and the service charge per square foot. Ask how much must be paid before the developer allows a resale ahead of handover.

Share my requirementsIf your question is not answered here, an adviser can go through it with you during a consultation.
It is the total purchase price. With off-plan property you usually pay a booking deposit first, then instalments during construction, and the rest on or after handover. Registration and other fees come on top. Every shortlist sets out these commitments separately so the price is never mistaken for the cash you need at the start.
Only after it is completed and handed over, which is often several years after booking. If you need income sooner, tell your adviser, who will say plainly whether off-plan fits your plans.
No. Property values and rents can go down as well as up, and handover dates are the developer’s estimates. Visa eligibility depends on official rules and your own circumstances, and is decided by the authorities.
Many international buyers complete off-plan purchases remotely. What is required depends on the developer, the emirate and your documents. The country guides explain the usual steps and the questions to raise with your own advisers.
Handover dates are the developer’s estimates and can move. In Dubai, payments into a project’s escrow account can only be used to build that project, but escrow does not guarantee completion on the stated date. Read the delay terms in your contract with your own lawyer before you reserve.
An adviser replies by the contact method you choose: video call, phone, WhatsApp or email. Your details are used to answer your enquiry, and launch emails are sent only if you tick that box.
Yes. Name the project in the form, and an adviser can go through its total cost, payment plan and what to check before you pay a booking deposit.
