Everything on this page has a contracted completion date no later than 2027. That is the shortest wait GRAF sells, and it changes the arithmetic of the purchase in three ways at once: you pay in fewer, larger instalments; you take construction risk for two years instead of five; and you meet a rental market you can actually forecast rather than one you have to imagine.
The trade is choice. Prices here run from AED 970K at Rukan to AED 12M at AHS Tower, but the spread across that range is thin — a project close to handover is a project close to sold out, and the units still available are the ones nobody chose first. If a specific floor, view or plot matters to you more than the date, a 2029 handover will serve you better.
All 13 of these sit in the last two years before the wait runs out, and they are scattered rather than clustered. The inland belt is the deepest single part of the list — Dubailand contributes the most, through Sobha Reserve, Sobha Elwood, Haven by Aldar and Rukan — while Sheikh Zayed Road, Downtown, Meydan, Al Furjan, Dubai Investments Park, Dubai South, Dubai Harbour and Dubai Islands each hold a single address. The exact split by district is in the breakdown above, counted from the same list. That scatter is what a near-term page looks like anywhere: it is whatever happened to start building three years ago, not a strategy.
What we check before recommending anything on a short date, and what you should ask us for: the completion certificate schedule rather than the marketing quarter, because the two diverge most in the final year; the share of the building already sold, which tells you what is really left; and the service charge, which on a 2027 handover you begin paying almost immediately rather than at the far end of a payment plan. On the last point the market read is worth having first — apartment and villa rents are moving differently in 2026, and a short wait only pays if the rent it lands on holds.
