Best off-plan projects in Dubai between 2 and 3 million AED in 2026
Fior 1 and the one-bedroom at Chelsea Residences are the two confirmed starting prices in the Orven selection between AED 2 and 3 million, the band that also crosses the Golden Visa threshold. Here is what is published and what is not.
Between AED 2 and 3 million, two entry points are confirmed in the Orven selection today: Fior 1's starting price and the one-bedroom configuration at Chelsea Residences. This band matters for another reason too, AED 2 million is the threshold that opens the door to a Golden Visa application, under conditions to be confirmed with the authorities.
How we selected these projects
We compare only Orven collection projects with a published figure inside this exact band: a starting or tiered price, a payment plan where one exists, the delivery date where published, the district, and the typologies on offer. Everything else in the selection that could plausibly sit near this range is listed separately as "on request," never estimated.
What is published between AED 2 and 3 million
| Project | District | Typologies | Price published | Payment plan | Delivery |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fior 1 | Rashid Yachts & Marina | 1 to 3 bed apartments | From AED 2.2 million* | On request | On request |
| Chelsea Residences (1 bed) | Dubai Maritime City | 1 bedroom apartments | AED 2.17 million* | 20% + 40×1% monthly + 40% at handover | December 2029 (developer estimate) |
\* Developer-advertised price, subject to availability and confirmed by your adviser. Chelsea's two- and three-bedroom units sit above this band and are covered in our 3 to 5 million AED guide.
Fior 1 sits inside Emaar's Rashid Yachts & Marina, with a promenade, landscaped outdoor spaces and a marina-view infinity pool among its published amenities. Chelsea Residences sits on the waterfront in Dubai Maritime City, and its one-bedroom configuration is the entry point into DAMAC's Legends Collection, which also includes themed units named after Lampard, Zola, Drogba and Terry.
Crossing the Golden Visa threshold
AED 2 million is the published threshold for a Golden Visa property investment, under conditions to be confirmed with the authorities. Chelsea's one-bedroom price of AED 2.17 million and Fior 1's starting price of AED 2.2 million both sit above that line, which makes them worth a look if residency is part of your plan, though whether an off-plan unit qualifies before completion is a question for the authorities and your adviser, not something we confirm here.
Payment plan: one is published, one is not
Chelsea Residences publishes a clear 20% at reservation, 40 monthly instalments of 1% from month 3 to month 42, and 40% at handover, on top of the 4% DLD fee. Fior 1 has not published a payment plan on its official page, so your adviser confirms the current schedule before you reserve. If a dated, monthly schedule matters to your cash flow planning, that difference is worth weighing alongside the price itself.

Converting to US dollars
At the fixed rate of 1 USD = 3.6725 AED, AED 2.2 million is about 599,000 USD, and Chelsea's AED 2.17 million one-bedroom is about 590,900 USD. The Dubai Land Department's 4% registration fee on a completed sale, or the fixed Oqood fee for an off-plan reservation, adds to either figure; your adviser confirms the exact amount once a unit is selected.
Other projects that could sit in this range
Several other projects in the selection, including the larger end of Valia's one- to four-bedroom range, Hilton Residences' larger apartments, and selected Sanctuary Residences units, could land between AED 2 and 3 million once a current price is confirmed. None has a published figure at this level today.
