What are the construction timelines for off-plan projects?

Construction timelines vary by project and developer. Emaar projects in Dubai Creek Harbour typically follow these timelines: announcement and presale (3-6 months), foundation and structure (12-18 months), finishing and handover (6-12 months after structure completion). Total construction time averages 24-36 months from launch. Some current projects have completion dates in 2025-2027. Developers provide regular construction updates and completion dates are stated in the Sale Purchase Agreement. Emaar has a strong track record of on-time delivery. Delays can occur due to market conditions or unforeseen circumstances, but reputable developers typically communicate changes promptly.
