Best off-plan projects in Dubai between 3 and 5 million AED in 2026
The two- and three-bedroom units at Chelsea Residences are the published starting points in the Orven selection between AED 3 and 5 million. Larger typologies at Hilton, Creek Waters, Sobha One and Ocean House remain on request.
Between AED 3 and 5 million, Chelsea Residences is the clearest reference in the Orven selection, with both a two-bedroom and a three-bedroom price published by the developer. Several larger typologies elsewhere in the collection could plausibly fall in this range too, but none has a confirmed figure today.
How we selected these projects
We compare only projects where a figure is published inside this exact band: a price, a payment plan where it exists, a delivery estimate where published, the district, and the typologies involved. Chelsea Residences anchors this guide because it is the only project with two confirmed price points inside AED 3 to 5 million.
What is published between AED 3 and 5 million
| Project | District | Typology | Price published | Payment plan | Delivery |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chelsea Residences (2 bed) | Dubai Maritime City | 2 bedroom apartments | AED 3.13 million* | 20% + 40×1% monthly + 40% at handover | December 2029 (developer estimate) |
| Chelsea Residences (3 bed) | Dubai Maritime City | 3 bedroom apartments | AED 4.94 million* | 20% + 40×1% monthly + 40% at handover | December 2029 (developer estimate) |
\* Developer brochure price, subject to availability, confirmed by your adviser. These sit above Chelsea's one-bedroom price at AED 2.17 million, covered alongside Fior 1 in our Dubai property between 2 and 3 million AED guide.
Chelsea Residences sits on the waterfront in Dubai Maritime City, close to J1 Beach and the Maritime Beach and Yacht Club. Its published amenities include the Chelsea Lion Beach, the Chelsea Blue beach club, a football simulation room, the Chelsea Athlete training centre, the Serenity spa and the Stamford Cinema lounge. The two- and three-bedroom units, along with selected Legends Collection homes named after Lampard, Zola, Drogba and Terry, sit inside this budget band.
Larger typologies elsewhere, still on request
Hilton Residences publishes three-bedroom apartments and penthouses, which could land in or above this range once a price is released. Creek Waters offers larger apartments, three-bedroom townhouses and a five-bedroom duplex penthouse at Dubai Creek Harbour. Sobha One's duplex configurations near Ras Al Khor Road, and Ocean House's larger apartments and duplexes on Palm Jumeirah, could also sit in this band. None of these publishes a confirmed price today, so none is quoted here as a figure.
Converting to US dollars
At the fixed rate of 1 USD = 3.6725 AED, Chelsea's two-bedroom price of AED 3.13 million is about 852,300 USD, and the three-bedroom price of AED 4.94 million is about 1,345,100 USD. The 4% DLD fee on a completed sale, or the fixed Oqood fee confirmed in your contract for an off-plan reservation, adds on top of either figure.

What the payment plan means at this size
Chelsea's 20% at reservation, 40 monthly 1% instalments from month 3 to month 42, and 40% at handover applies the same way to both the two- and three-bedroom units, which means the monthly instalment is proportionally larger on the bigger unit. Your adviser walks through the exact monthly figure for the unit you are considering before you reserve.
Why this band suits a specific kind of buyer
A budget between AED 3 and 5 million in the current selection suits a buyer who wants a larger, family-sized apartment with a confirmed developer price and a dated construction schedule, rather than a smaller entry-level unit. It suits less well a buyer set on a villa or townhouse, since the confirmed options in this exact range are apartments; villas and townhouses in the collection either sit above AED 5 million, as covered in our over 5 million AED guide, or do not yet publish a price. It also suits a buyer comfortable with a monthly instalment commitment over more than three years, rather than a handful of large milestone payments.
