Off-plan projects in City of Arabia, Dubai

City of Arabia is a self-contained pocket of Dubailand, built along Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road next to Al Barari and Global Village. Off-plan projects here stay few, since the district was planned from the outset as a walkable mix of apartment towers, retail and office space rather than a sprawling residential estate. That scale suits buyers after a smaller, more contained community than Dubailand’s bigger neighbours offer. Browse the current lineup below, or filter by budget and handover year.

3 off-plan projects are available in City of Arabia, Dubai, with prices starting from $191K. Developers include Azizi Developments, Infracorp and One Development. Handover dates range from 2027 to 2028, with flexible payment plans on most launches.

What shapes City of Arabia’s off-plan pipeline

Off-plan projects in City of Arabia run entirely to apartment towers, a direct outcome of the compact, walkable master plan Dubai Properties drew up for the district: residential space woven together with retail and office towers rather than spread out as a standalone housing estate.

City of Arabia sits within Dubailand, right off Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road and next to Al Barari and Global Village. The Mall of Arabia retail hub and the Wadi Walk dining strip both sit inside the district itself, with Downtown Dubai, Dubai Marina and Dubai International Airport all within roughly half an hour’s drive.

Supply here stays small: a short list of active launches, entry prices from around $150K, and handover dates spread from 2027 to 2028. Azizi Developments, Infracorp and One Development are the three developers currently building in City of Arabia, 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.

City of Arabia suits buyers after a smaller, self-contained pocket of Dubailand rather than one of its larger master-planned neighbours, plus investors targeting the daytime footfall that Mall of Arabia and the surrounding office space bring to the area. Because so few launches are active here at once, comparing them side by side doesn’t take long, and Gorilla Real Estate’s specialists are happy to run through the shortlist and flag whichever one lines up best with a specific price range or move.

Yes. Off-plan purchases from government-approved developers count towards the AED 2 million (~$545K) threshold for the UAE's 10-year renewable Golden Visa, and you can combine multiple properties to qualify. As of 2026, eligibility is based on the total purchase value rather than the amount already paid. The visa is available to buyers from age 18 — increasingly attractive to young investors and creators — and covers spouses and children. Conditions are set by the UAE authorities and can change; we check the latest requirements for your chosen project.

Yes, remote purchases are common practice. Unit reservation, contract signing and payments can typically be completed online or via power of attorney, without visiting the UAE. We guide international buyers through every step of the process.

You pay in stages rather than upfront: a booking deposit of typically 10–20%, scheduled instalments while the project is built, and the remainder on or after handover. Many developers also offer post-handover plans spread over several years — each project page shows the exact schedule.
