It is a small-unit investor market. Of 843 recorded off-plan sales in 2026, 521 were studios and 281 one-bedroom apartments, with a median sale price of AED 681,222. That makes it one of the lower-cost ways into Dubai off-plan, but the median of AED 1,984 per square foot shows buyers are paying for compact layouts. Returns depend on how that small-unit supply rents once it all completes at the same time.
By recorded 2026 sales: Beach Oasis 2 (321), The First Collection at Dubai Studio City (157), Arisha Terraces (108), Laya Courtyard (97), Ryah Living by Alyakka (96) and Ghaff Land Residence (38). Eleven developments recorded sales in total.
The median recorded off-plan sale in 2026 was AED 681,222, at a median of AED 1,984 per square foot. Because most sales are studios and one-bedrooms, that figure describes a small unit; larger layouts are rare and priced separately.
Studios dominate. Of sales where the unit type was recorded, 521 were studios, 281 one-bedroom, 33 two-bedroom and only 2 three-bedroom. A buyer looking for a family-sized home will find very little supply here.
It began as a TECOM Group media and production free zone and now has a growing residential district alongside it. The off-plan projects recorded in the Land Department register are residential apartment buildings.
