Learn

Understand off-plan before you commit.

Off-plan buyers research for months before they enquire. These four pieces are where most of the questions start. Read them in any order — none is gated.

Start with the off-plan pillar
  1. 018 min

    How payment plans work

    60/40, 80/20 and post-handover: what the two numbers tell you, and what they leave out.

  2. 028 min

    Escrow and buyer protection

    What RERA Law No. 8 protects, what it does not, and how to check a project is registered before you pay.

  3. 038 min

    Evaluating a developer

    You are buying a company's ability to finish a building. Delivery record, past delays, quality of finish.

  4. 048 min

    Off-plan vs ready

    Price, payments, risk and control side by side — including when ready is the better answer.

Explore communities

Choose the place before the project.

For an off-plan buyer the community is the only thing that already exists. We grade each one by what is built today, not by the render.

All communities

Established

People live here. Rents, resale prices and school places are real — and so is the competition at resale.

Emerging

A plan first, a place later. You are buying the thesis, the developer and the phase; read what exists today before anything else.

Developers we cover

Listed alphabetically, not ranked. Each mark belongs to its owner and says only whose developments we sell — not that the developer endorses, accredits or appoints us. Where one publishes no mark that reads on this background, its name stands in its place. Every developer page carries what we could trace to that developer's own documents, and says plainly where the record is silent.

Why OAC18

Dubai gives you thousands of options. We give you the three that fit.
