80/20 payment plan: off-plan projects in Dubai

80% is paid between booking and completion and 20% at handover. This plan is front-loaded: most of the money goes in during construction, so the handover payment is small.

122 projects in our index publish 80/20 as their headline plan, from 11 developers across 38 areas, with starting prices from AED 540K – AED 30.7M and handovers between 2025 and 2031. 122 of them publish the full instalment table, where a 80% booking payment is the most common first step.
