Azizi sold more off-plan homes in Dubai than anyone else in the third quarter of 2026, by a wide margin. Its 27.0% of registered off-plan home sales is more than the next four developers managed between them. Binghatti was second with 8.2%, Imtiaz third with 6.5%, then DAMAC and Emaar.
Rank the same quarter by value and the order changes. Emaar moves up to second, Nakheel comes into the top five, and Azizi's lead narrows to 12.7% of the money.
The table covers residential sales (apartments and villas) registered with the Dubai Land Department between 1 July and 30 September 2026. Each developer's project companies are counted under its brand, so Emaar's many companies count as one Emaar, and a master-community landowner gets no credit for homes another developer built on its land. We don't merge group parents: Nakheel, Meraas and Dubai Properties appear separately, although all three sit within Dubai Holding.
We rank on shares, not totals. DLD changed its record feed in February 2026, and since then our counts have been a consistent sample rather than the full market, so the n column is there to show the sample behind each share. One caveat on the Q2 comparisons: 7.7% of Q2's off-plan sales had no developer on the record, against 2.6% in Q3, so some Q2 shares are a little understated.
Who sold the most off-plan homes in Q3 2026?

| Rank | Developer | Off-plan sales (n) | Share of units | Share of value | Q2 rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Azizi | 6,823 | 27.0% | 12.7% | 1 |
| 2 | Binghatti | 2,058 | 8.2% | 7.2% | 2 |
| 3 | Imtiaz | 1,631 | 6.5% | 4.8% | 10 |

| 16 | Iman | 196 | 0.8% | 0.7% | 61 |
| 17 | Peace Homes | 195 | 0.8% | 0.4% | 20 |
| 18 | Amer Al Ghurair | 178 | 0.7% | 0.3% | not in top 200 |
| 19 | Dubai Properties | 177 | 0.7% | 1.2% | 12 |
| 20 | Reef | 147 | 0.6% | 0.4% | 41 |
The top 20 took 77.3% of the quarter's off-plan sales. The other 22.7% is spread across a long tail of smaller developers, and includes the 2.6% of sales the record doesn't tie to any developer.
Most of Azizi's lead comes from two places. Azizi Venice in Dubai South had 3,926 registered sales, which is 15.6% of every off-plan home sold in Dubai in the quarter. Azizi Milan and Milan Heights in City of Arabia added 1,283 more.
The run faded as the quarter went on. Azizi's monthly count fell from 3,478 in July to 2,467 in August and 873 in September, which is why Binghatti tops the September Off-Plan Monitor.
Binghatti's 2,058 sales came mainly from Skyflame (480) and Skyterraces (405). Imtiaz's climb from tenth to third was almost all RAW District, with 1,442 sales across its projects. Reportage moved up five places on its Verdana projects, and Beyond went from 31st to 11th on Arancia Yards.
Four of Q2's top 20 dropped out: HRE Development, Aldar, Meraas and Select Group. Beyond, Iman, Amer Al Ghurair and Reef took their places.
Who led on value?
Table: top 10 developers by registered off-plan sales value, Q3 2026. Share is of all registered off-plan residential sales value in the quarter. Source: DLD registered sales, Peak Trust Research.
| Rank | Developer | Share of value | Off-plan sales (n) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Azizi | 12.7% | 6,823 |
| 2 | Emaar | 8.7% | 1,345 |
| 3 | Binghatti | 7.2% | 2,058 |
| 4 | Nakheel | 6.4% | 788 |
| 5 | DAMAC | 5.8% | 1,391 |
| 6 | Imtiaz | 4.8% | 1,631 |
| 7 | Sobha | 3.8% | 770 |
| 8 | Omniyat | 3.5% | 56 |
| 9 | Danube | 2.9% | 608 |
| 10 | Samana | 2.3% | 851 |
Value is less concentrated. The top five by value hold 40.7% of the money, while the top five by count hold 52.5% of the sales. Omniyat is the odd one out: 56 off-plan sales, nowhere near the count table, and still 3.5% of the quarter's value.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| All Dubai off-plan | 25,239 | 1,121,000 | 1,738 | 43.9% | 22.7% |
| Azizi | 6,823 | 655,000 | 1,718 | 79.8% | 1.9% |
| Binghatti | 2,058 | 1,050,000 | 1,806 | 46.9% | 15.7% |
| Imtiaz | 1,631 | 1,102,000 | 1,792 | 46.9% | 11.3% |
| DAMAC | 1,391 | 1,294,000 | 1,791 | 26.7% | 33.2% |
| Emaar | 1,345 | 2,289,000 | 2,389 | 0.7% | 69.0% |
| Samana | 851 | 1,112,000 | 1,564 | 40.7% | 8.7% |
| Nakheel | 788 | 2,534,000 | 2,313 | 13.8% | 58.5% |
| Reportage | 783 | 1,035,000 | 1,142 | 47.5% | 10.9% |
| Sobha | 770 | 1,953,000 | 2,467 | 5.2% | 43.0% |
| Danube | 608 | 1,558,000 | 2,380 | 22.4% | 37.0% |
Azizi's price per square foot is a little under the market median. Its tickets are small because its homes are small: four in five of its sales were under AED 1 million. Emaar sits at the other end, with 69.0% of its off-plan sales at AED 2 million or more and almost none under AED 1 million. Reportage had the lowest median per square foot of the ten, at AED 1,142.
What about ready homes?
A developer's name stays on a building after handover. So ready-home sales are mostly owners reselling homes the developer delivered years ago, and they show the size of a developer's finished footprint more than its current selling.
On that measure Emaar is far ahead, with 16.1% of the quarter's ready resales. DAMAC (4.3%), Dubai Properties (4.3%), Azizi (4.2%) and Binghatti (3.8%) follow. About 22% of ready sales are in older buildings with no developer on the record, so treat these shares with more caution than the off-plan table.
What it means for developers
- Azizi's headline share rests on two schemes. Without Azizi Venice and the Milan projects its remaining 1,614 sales would rank third, behind Binghatti and Imtiaz. If you benchmark your own share against the market, strip the outliers out first.
- One seller took about half the cheap end. Azizi made 49% of the quarter's registered off-plan sales under AED 1 million, so anyone launching studios and one-beds at that ticket was up against a single large supply in Dubai South.
- Count and value rank developers differently. Emaar, Nakheel and Omniyat sit far higher on value than on count, so a press line built on one measure invites a competitor to answer with the other. Publish both.
- The big rank moves came from one or two projects each. Imtiaz climbed seven places on RAW District and Beyond twenty on Arancia Yards. In a market this spread out, one launch that sells can move a developer a long way in a single quarter.
