Advantages of Buying Off Plan Townhouses in Dubai

• Attractive Prices – Compared to standalone villas townhouses offer a huge amount of value without too much of a compromise. Yes, the plot and internal sizes are smaller but certainly still more than sufficient for most families.
• Ongoing costs – The average service charges payable on an Off Plan Townhouse are around 3 AED per sq ft on the plot size. Considering the average plot size is around 2,000 st ft this means yearly service fees of just AED 4,000. Service fees for an equivalent size apartment would be around AED 30,000 making townhouses an extremely economical option.
• Returns – Due to the lower service charge fees the returns on offer in most communities can be in excess of 7/8%.
• You Get Land – Granted, townhouses do not come with huge gardens but what they do come with is certainly sufficient for most young families. A space to play, entertain, and just hang out in the cooler months.
• Community Feels – When buying an off plan townhouse you are not just buying a property. You are also buying a community and a certain lifestyle. It’s a place where you are more likely to know your neighbors and form friends with like-minded people living in your neighborhood.
• Security – Off Plan Townhouse developments at least in Dubai, tend to be located in gated communities with 24/7 controlled in and out access. This provides residents with a piece of mind and a great sense of overall security.

Townhouses Types and Sizes

Most townhouse developments will come with a range of 3 and 4-bedroom options in varying styles and layouts. Although less common, some projects do also come with 2 and 5-bed options.

• 3 Bedroom – 2,000 Sq Ft
• 4 Bedroom – 2,300 Sq Ft

Whilst different developers do offer different sizes the above is what you can typically expect when it comes to most townhouse units. It’s also worth noting that in most cases the 3-bedroom options tend to be middle units whilst the 4-bedroom types are end or as they are often referred to “corner units”.

Off Plan Townhouse Prices and Payment Plans

Typical Prices

• 3 Bedroom – 1,400,000 to 2,400,000
• 4 Bedroom – 1,800,000 to 2,900,000

As you would expect different townhouse projects do come with different price points. These depend on many things but largely it comes down to the location and size. The above mentions prices however indicate the average price range you can expect to pay for a new 3 and a 4-bedroom townhouse.

Common Payment Plans

Every off-plan project even the ones by the same developer comes with its own individual payment plans. The same is true for off plan townhouse projects where the payment plans can and do often vary. With that said however with an ever-increasing competitive market most projects now come with post handover payment plans. A post-handover payment plan is one where a % of the amount due is paid over a period after property handover.

A good example of a post-handover payment plan would be one being offered for Elan Townhouses at Tilal Al Ghaf. That particular payment plan looked something like this:

• 10% Downpayment
• 40% During construction
• 5% On completion
• 40% Paid Over 3 Years After Handover

Now of course this is just one example of a payment plan for one particular project. As mentioned these do vary from developer to developer and project to project.

Developers Offering Off Plan Townhouses in Dubai

Off plan townhouses in Dubai are usually launched by master developers and large private developers, especially in communities designed around family living, parks, schools, clubhouses and shared amenities.

Emaar is one of the most active developers in this segment, with townhouse projects across master communities such as The Valley, Emaar South, The Heights and other suburban residential districts. These projects usually appeal to buyers looking for established developer reputation, community planning and long-term end-user demand.

DAMAC also offers townhouse and villa-style projects across larger lifestyle communities, often with themed amenities, flexible payment plans and a wider range of entry prices. These projects can suit buyers looking for master community living with a more resort-style positioning.

Binghatti has also moved into larger-format residential projects, including townhouse and villa-style developments. This gives buyers another option beyond the developer’s better-known apartment projects.

Aldar is another name to watch in Dubai’s townhouse market, especially as the developer expands its presence through large residential communities and family-focused projects.

When comparing developers, buyers should look beyond the brand name. The most important factors are the specific community, layout, plot size, payment plan, handover date, service charges and the long-term demand for that location.
