Homes in Dubai’s off-plan project registry, by year. Handed over counts each finished project’s homes in its completion year, from 2008; homes built without off-plan sales were never registered, so read the history as a floor. Expected moves each live project’s declared date by its developer’s own measured delay (the city’s recent median, 1 quarter late, where a developer is unmeasured). The dashed outlines are the developers’ declared schedule. 52,733 homes are already past even their expected date and 57,349 declare no date, so neither is on a year.
