Binghatti registered more units in 2026 than any other Dubai developer
On the Dubai Land Department's 2026 project register, read on 27 October 2026, Binghatti companies account for 16 registered projects with 13,891 units and a combined declared value of AED 8.8 billion. The next developers by units are DAMAC (5,558 units across 15 projects), Sobha (4,120 across 3), Emaar (3,935 across 27) and Azizi (3,531 across 9).
This matters to a buyer for one practical reason: when one developer brings this many units to market in one registration year, many of them are filed to complete within months of each other, often in the same district. At handover, a unit competes for tenants and buyers with similar units from the same developer as well as with the wider market.
Where the units are: four districts hold almost all of them
Nad Al Shiba First holds 5,395 units: Maybach Six (1,878), Vision Iconic (1,453), Maybach Ultimate Luxury (1,233) and Project Maybach (831). Wadi Al Safa 3, the register's name for the area covering Majan, holds 3,235: Binghatti Skyflame 1 (1,407), Skyflame 2 (801) and Binghatti Square 1, 2 and 3 (160, 350 and 517). Al Jaddaf holds 2,619 across Binghatti Spectre (966), Wraith (881) and Starfall (772). Al Hebiah First, covering the Motor City area, holds 1,886 in Binghatti Skyterraces.
Three 2026 projects without an open escrow account
On the register read on 27 October 2026, three of the sixteen 2026 Binghatti registrations had no open escrow account: Tilal Binghatti (status pending, no units filed yet), Binghatti Square 1 and Binghatti Square 3. In September the list had five; Vision Iconic and Binghatti Spectre have opened theirs since.
Under Dubai Law No. 8 of 2007, payments for an off-plan unit go into the project's escrow account. Before paying for a unit, ask for the escrow account number in writing and check it against the DLD register yourself; a broker's screenshot is not verification.
The main projects: registered dates and what buyers paid
Filed completion dates are from the DLD register; prices are the median of recorded DLD sales in 2026, to 26 October.
Binghatti Skyflame 1 and 2 (Majan): 2,208 units, completion filed for 31 December 2027; Skyflame 1 sold at a median AED 570,000 (879 sales), Skyflame 2 at AED 580,000 (459). Binghatti Skyterraces (Motor City area): 1,886 units, filed for 31 October 2027; median AED 875,499 (838 sales). The three Maybach projects (Nad Al Shiba First): filed for June to August 2027; Maybach Six sold at a median AED 1,396,000 (1,110 sales), the most-bought Binghatti project of 2026. Binghatti Wraith and Starfall (Al Jaddaf): filed for December and October 2027. Binghatti Luxuria and Etherea (Al Barsha South): filed for July and December 2027, 7% built.
Binghatti Skyhall in Business Bay, often marketed with a late-2026 handover, is not a 2026 registration: the register shows it was due on 31 August 2026 and was 31% built when read on 27 October 2026. Where a marketed date and the filed date differ, check the date in your sale agreement.
Delivery: what the register shows
Of the 35 Binghatti projects on the register we track (read 27 October 2026), 3 are marked finished and 12 are past the completion date filed with the DLD and not yet finished. A filed date can be revised and the DLD updates progress after inspections, so a project past its date is a question to ask the developer, not proof of a late handover. It does mean a buyer should not assume a Binghatti date will hold because the developer is large.
Before buying any Binghatti unit: check its escrow account, its percentage built and its filed completion date on the register, and compare the price you are quoted with what buyers paid in the same project.
