Can I buy a townhouse off-plan in Dubai?
Yes. Several projects in the Orven selection, including Porto View, Golf Greens, Terra Woods and DAMAC Casa, list townhouses alongside apartments in their published unit mix. The off-plan process for a townhouse follows the same steps as an apartment, from reservation to DLD registration.
Yes, buying a townhouse off-plan in Dubai is possible, and it is not limited to a single developer. In the current Orven selection, Porto View, Golf Greens, Terra Woods and DAMAC Casa all publish townhouse typologies alongside their apartment collections. The purchase process itself does not change because the unit is a townhouse rather than an apartment.
Which projects in the selection include townhouses
Based on the developers' published unit mix, four projects currently on our list combine apartments with townhouses:
- Porto View, at Rashid Yachts & Marina, lists three-bedroom townhouses alongside one- to three-bedroom apartments.
- Golf Greens, in DAMAC Hills, includes two- and three-bedroom townhouses overlooking the fairways.
- Terra Woods, in Expo Living, Dubai South, offers townhouses within its apartment collection.
- DAMAC Casa, in Al Sufouh, includes one- and two-bedroom townhouses on the lower levels of the tower.
Availability within any of these collections changes as units are reserved, so the exact townhouses on offer at a given moment are confirmed by your advisor rather than fixed in advance.
How an off-plan townhouse purchase works
A townhouse reserved off-plan follows the same structured path as an apartment: a reservation against the unit, a sale and purchase agreement, payments made into the project's escrow account through the published payment plan, and registration with the Dubai Land Department. Our guide to understanding floor plans and unit types in Dubai covers how developers present these typologies, including how a townhouse differs from an apartment in layout and shared facilities.

What to check before you commit
Before reserving a townhouse specifically, it helps to confirm a few points with your advisor, since these vary by project and by unit:
- Whether the townhouse includes a private garden, terrace or parking, and how that is described in the unit plan
- Which floor of the community the townhouse sits on, and its position relative to shared amenities
- The payment plan that applies to that specific typology, since it is not always identical to the apartment plan in the same project
- Service charges once handed over, which your advisor confirms closer to completion
Our due diligence checklist before reserving off-plan walks through the documents and questions worth reviewing for any off-plan reservation, townhouse or apartment.
