Residential Building Plots in Dubai

Residential building plots are for apartment buildings. Investors use them to develop units to sell, or to keep a whole building for rental income.

The value of a building plot depends on how much you are allowed to build. We send the permitted floors, coverage and other rules with each plot, so you can compare plots on real numbers.

Frequently asked questions

Can I sell the apartments off-plan?

Selling off-plan has its own rules and approvals for developers. We explain the requirements before you buy.

How do I compare two building plots?

Compare the price against the permitted built-up area, not only the plot size. We prepare this comparison for you.

Can foreigners buy land in Dubai?

In general, non-UAE nationals can buy property, including land, in areas designated as freehold. Some areas offer long-term leasehold instead. We confirm the ownership type for every plot before you decide.
