Best off-plan villas and townhouses in Dubai 2026
Land size, number of levels and community type set villas and townhouses apart more than any single price point. Here is how the villa and townhouse projects in the Orven collection compare, with Bay Estate quoted in averages, never a "from" price.
A villa or townhouse purchase is usually decided on different terms from an apartment: plot size, number of levels, and the type of community around the home, more than a single headline price. This guide compares the villa and townhouse projects in the Orven collection on those terms, published figures only, and never a quality ranking.
How we selected these projects
Selection is limited to the Orven collection's villa and townhouse projects. We compared them on: published plot and built-up area where available, number of levels (ground-plus-one, ground-plus-two or three-storey townhouse formats), and community type (golf-course, parkland, beachfront or expo-adjacent). Bay Estate publishes average prices across its typologies, not a starting price, and we never convert that average into a "from" figure.
The projects in this selection
| Project | District | Typology | Published price / plan | Community type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bay Estate | Dubai Islands | 3-4 bed townhouses; twin villas G+1 & G+2; garden villas | Average prices only, e.g. 3-bed townhouse averaging AED 5.9 million | Cala (waterside), Verda (parks), Agora (clubs) |
| The Grove | Sobha Sanctuary, Dubailand | 4-6 bed estate villas | From AED 9.33 million* | Landscaped parkland, waterways |

Reading the table by plot and levels
Bay Estate publishes clear average figures by configuration: a three-bedroom townhouse averages a roughly 2,400 sq ft plot with around 3,100 sq ft of net sellable area, while a four-bedroom twin villa in the "Plus" G+2 format averages around 5,300 sq ft of net sellable area on a plot of about 4,100 sq ft; a garden villa averages around AED 10 million on an approximately 6,500 sq ft plot. The Grove and Utopia sit at the larger end of the selection, both independent estate villas rather than attached townhouses. Golf Greens and Porto View bring in a townhouse format at a smaller footprint, inside an established golf or marina community. Terra Woods and Avena suit a buyer who wants a townhouse or villa inside a newer, courtyard-led or park-anchored masterplan.
What Bay Estate's average prices actually mean
Bay Estate's figures, provided by the developer on 27 September 2026, are averages across each configuration, not a starting price and not a guarantee for any specific plot; a corner unit, a larger plot or a particular street within Cala, Verda or Agora will price differently. Private pools are visible on some renders but are not included and sit at the buyer's cost, per the brochure. Our guide on beachfront villas in Dubai under AED 10 million covers how Bay Estate's typologies compare on price against other beachfront options in the selection.
Payment plans for villas and townhouses
Bay Estate's villa and townhouse plan runs in dated instalments: 20% in October 2026, several smaller instalments through 2027 and 2028, and a final 40% at an estimated handover of January 2031. None of the other six projects above has published a payment plan on its official page; your adviser confirms the current schedule before you reserve.
