What is coming, and what is moving8,072 apartments are planned in Dubai Islands from 2026 to 2028; too few homes are let there today for a share.

How these are counted
8,072 apartments are planned in Dubai Islands from 2026 to 2028; too few homes are let there today for a share.
Planned completions are apartment units in projects the Land Department register lists as neither complete nor cancelled, by the year of the registered completion date. Projects already past that date and projects without one are counted separately, not spread over future years. Leases are every registered new and renewed apartment lease in the area in the last 12 months. A planned date is not a delivery forecast.
Each building counts once per bedroom type when it has at least five ready sales (or five new leases) in both the last 12 months and the 12 before. Its change is its own median price per sqft (or annual rent) now against then, so the mix of buildings that happened to trade cannot move it. Off-plan sales are left out.
Sales and leases to 12 Oct 2026. Neither figure is a forecast, a vacancy rate or a price index. Methodology

New contracts only, so a renewal capped by RERA is not read as the market rate. Sales exclude the outliers the methodology names. A size or a per-square-foot figure the recorded area cannot support is left blank rather than guessed.
