Bur Dubai is Dubai’s oldest district, on the western bank of Dubai Creek across from Deira, near Al Fahidi and the Dubai Museum. Off-plan projects here stay few and far between, since most of the district’s dense, low-rise core is already built out around narrow streets, souks and protected historic buildings. That scarcity suits buyers after a genuinely central, characterful address rather than a newly built district. Browse the current lineup below, or filter by budget and handover year.
4 off-plan projects are available in Bur Dubai, Dubai, with prices starting from $658K. Developers include Beyond Developments, Ellington Properties and Kora Properties, plus 1 more company building in the area. Handover is scheduled for 2029, with flexible payment plans on most launches.

Bur Dubai is an apartment-led market: every current off-plan launch here is a residential tower or complex, typically with stronger rental demand and lower entry prices.

Off-plan projects in Bur Dubai run almost entirely to apartment towers, and there are only ever a handful active at once: the district’s oldest core was settled and built out long before Dubai’s modern construction boom began, leaving little open land for anything new.
Bur Dubai sits on the western bank of Dubai Creek, directly across from Deira and reachable by abra as well as by road. Al Fahidi’s historic lanes, the Dubai Museum, the Grand Mosque and Meena Bazaar’s textile souks all sit within the district, alongside newer additions like the Al Seef waterfront promenade. Multiple Metro stations and a dense bus network keep the area well connected despite its narrow, old-city streets.
Supply here stays limited: a small handful of launches, entry prices from around $650K, and handover scheduled for 2029. Beyond Developments, Ellington Properties, Kora Properties and Prestige One are the four developers currently active in Bur Dubai, each following the standard off-plan structure: a booking deposit typically between 10% and 20%, instalments tied to construction progress, and a closing balance due at or near handover.
Bur Dubai suits buyers after a genuinely historic, walkable address rather than a newly built district, and investors drawn to the steady footfall that comes from tourism and the area’s long-standing residential base. With so few launches to choose from, Gorilla Real Estate’s team can walk through each one directly and flag which fits a specific budget or timeline best.
