The developers building Dubai Islands.

Nakheel builds its own villa and resort communities and sells plots to private developers: close to a hundred of them now have a building on the islands. Here are the ones behind the main developments.

Developers are listed by the number of main developments we track on Dubai Islands; every other building is in the full list on the projects page. Names identify their projects; we are independent from every developer.

Choosing a developer

Five checks before you book.

  • The project is registered with RERA and has its own escrow account (the number is on the sale and purchase agreement).
  • The developer’s delivered projects: visit one, and compare handover dates announced and achieved.
  • Construction progress as registered with the Dubai Land Department, not only the developer’s brochure.
  • Service charges per square foot in the developer’s completed buildings nearby.
  • The resale rule: the share of the price to pay before you may resell, and the transfer fee.
