A curated view of new launches worth your time.
We have full market access across offplan in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, plus offplan resale where a launch has already sold through. What we push is a shorter list. These are the master developers and private developers we have studied, projects where the numbers, the location and the delivery track record give us real confidence in what is being sold.
If a client is set on a project outside that list we still have it, and we will represent you on it. What we will not do is put our own name behind something we have not tested.
We cover every launch with pre-launch info and positioning to help you secure the best properties, as well as exclusive resale opportunities on missed launches directly with Habitare and within our approved network of brokers.
From concept to reality. ORLA, Dorchester Collection by Omniyat.

Open assessmentThe illusion of the direct dealWalking into a developer sales office feels simple. Less paperwork, direct access, the sense of a better deal. In practice that route narrows your view, removes leverage, and leaves you inside one developer’s sales strategy.
Full market, not one projectDeveloper teams move their own inventory, and rightly so. An independent consultant works across every developer, every competing project, off-market units and phased launches. You compare pricing across similar assets, weigh payment plan against handover schedule, and choose what is optimal rather than what is available.
Access and relationshipsYears of transactional relationships translate into early access to pre-launch and closed-book allocations, better positioning within release cycles, and a real read on how a developer has historically delivered, managed and supported projects after handover.
Impartial strategy, not sales targetsA developer agent carries an internal quota. Your consultant is aligned only with your mandate. That means hidden payment plan clauses called out, long-term service charge implications explained, and risk factors on delay, reputation or legal ambiguity flagged before you sign.
No added costDevelopers do not discount for direct buyers. Pricing is internally regulated to protect resale metrics. Commission sits in the marketing budget either way. Direct buyers are not rewarded with the equivalent of that commission. With representation you often secure more, not less.
A final wordBuying offplan is a strategic commitment of hard-earned capital, not a retail exercise. At Habitare we do not represent developers. We represent clients. Our role is to protect positions with tailored, data-backed guidance across Dubai’s offplan market.

Offplan means buying a home from the developer before completion, on the terms and payment plan set at launch.
Habitare is an approved channel partner for the developers listed on this hub. We advise on unit selection, timing and payment plans, and handle the reservation and paperwork end to end.
Nothing. Brokerage on primary sales is paid by the developer, so our advisory does not add to the buyer cost.
Offplan payment plans are set project by project and can vary considerably between developments. Most begin with a booking payment, followed by staged instalments during construction. These may be due on fixed calendar dates, linked to specific construction milestones, or structured as a combination of both.
A proportion of the purchase price is typically left until handover, while some projects also offer post-handover instalments, although these are less common across many current launches.
The headline split, such as 60/40 or 80/20, only tells part of the story. Buyers should also consider when each payment is due, whether instalments are date or construction linked, how much remains payable at handover, and how the structure fits their cash flow, financing and intended ownership or resale strategy.
Exact payment terms are released by the developer for each launch and should be checked against the reservation documents and SPA.
Yes, subject to the developer’s resale threshold on that project (usually a minimum share of the price paid). We confirm this per project before you reserve.
Reach us on the register-interest button on any project, the contact form at the bottom of this page, or by email, WhatsApp or the other channels shown in the footer. An adviser will get back to you.
Habitare was founded on a simple belief: the best property decisions begin with better questions.
Over the last twelve years I’ve advised buyers, sellers and investors across the UK and UAE. Along the way I’ve learned that successful property investing isn’t about finding the loudest opportunity, it’s about understanding what you’re really buying.
We don’t try to be the biggest brokerage in Dubai. We aim to be the firm clients trust when the decisions matter most. Everything we do is built around independent thinking, honest advice and long-term relationships that continue well beyond completion.
Peter Burns founded Habitare after twelve years advising buyers, sellers and investors across the UK and UAE. Before establishing the firm he spent six years at haus & haus in Dubai, where he built his reputation in the offplan market and long-term client advisory.
Fraser Blanchflower brings an international perspective shaped by upbringing in Hong Kong, education in Canada and a background in venture capital. In Dubai he advises across primary and secondary markets, combining analytical thinking with clear communication to keep clients grounded through the decision.
