Duplexes in Dubai are one of the most sought-after types of housing in the Emirati real estate market. In most countries, these are houses divided in half and designed for two families. However, in the United Arab Emirates, a duplex is most often an apartment with two or more floors. These spacious residences are located in apartment communities. They often include additional rooms and personal amenities, such as a home office, a play area for children, a maid’s bedroom, a private swimming pool, and more.
Such premises are perfect for buyers who need a lot of space but don’t want to invest in a villa for financial reasons. An even more profitable solution could be purchasing an off-plan duplex in an under-construction residential community. When the purchase-and-sale transaction is performed at an early construction stage, the price is significantly lower, and the investors will return their invested funds in a shorter time, while usual buyers will save significantly. This is due to the fact that the cost of off-plan real estate is always lower than the cost of properties ready to move in.
What other advantages purchasing off-plan real estate at the construction stage can provide, which new residential complexes in Dubai should buyers pay attention to, and how to close a deal on the most favorable terms? The answers to these questions can be found below.

An additional advantage of closing a deal at the stage of real estate construction is the opportunity to take advantage of an attractive instalment plan, which makes payment as convenient and flexible as possible. Buyers make an initial payment of 10%–30% of the property price when booking off-plan developments, cover part of the amount in stages as the project is implemented, and pay the remaining amount after the housing is put into operation.
In the following list, you can see the under-construction residential communities, which recently launched sales of off-plan duplexes in Dubai.
