Founded in 1987, Union Properties PJSC is the master developer behind <strong>Motor City<\/strong> and the Dubai Autodrome. In 2026, their portfolio is driven by monumental new launches within Motor City, including the <strong>Takaya<\/strong> mixed-use community and the <strong>AED 2 Billion Mirdad<\/strong> master-project.

When you buy an off-plan property from Union, you are typically buying into a sprawling, fully integrated master community. Because the projects are heavily vetted and regulated by Dubai Land Department (DLD) escrow laws, your capital is protected while the asset appreciates toward handover.<\/p>\r\n <p>The appeal is powerful: <strong>large floor plans, deep integration with nature and wellness, highly flexible 60\/40 payment plans, and some of the best family-oriented rental yields in the emirate.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n \r\n <h2 id=\"why\">Why Union Properties is a smart Dubai off-plan bet in 2026<\/h2>\r\n <p>Union Properties PJSC is publicly listed and holds a 30+ year legacy in the UAE.

Flagship developments like Takaya and Mirdad in Motor City typically utilize a 60\/40 payment plan, meaning 60% is paid during construction and 40% on handover.<\/p><\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <div class=\"faq-item\">\r\n <button class=\"faq-q\">Is Takaya or Mirdad the better Union Properties investment?<\/button>\r\n <div class=\"faq-a\"><p>It depends on your timeline and asset preference. Takaya offers a mix of apartments, townhouses, and villas handing over in Q4 2027, making it ideal for diversified luxury living. Mirdad is the newly launched AED 2 Billion wellness-focused project handing over in Q4 2028, offering cutting-edge eco-features and slightly lower apartment entry prices.<\/p><\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <div class=\"faq-item\">\r\n <button class=\"faq-q\">What rental yield do Union Properties generate in Dubai?<\/button>\r\n <div class=\"faq-a\"><p>Union Properties assets located in Motor City typically generate solid rental yields of 7% to 8%. Motor City is a highly established, family-centric master community with schools, retail, and the Dubai Autodrome, resulting in historically low vacancy rates and high tenant retention.<\/p><\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <div class=\"faq-item\">\r\n <button class=\"faq-q\">Is off plan property in Motor City cheaper than Downtown Dubai?<\/button>\r\n <div class=\"faq-a\"><p>Yes. Motor City offers significant value-for-money compared to Downtown or Dubai Marina. Premium off plan apartments in Union Properties developments like Takaya start from around AED 753,000, offering larger floor plans and extensive green suburban amenities at a fraction of central city prices.<\/p><\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <div class=\"faq-item\">\r\n <button class=\"faq-q\">Can a foreigner buy off plan property in Motor City from Union Properties?<\/button>\r\n <div class=\"faq-a\"><p>Yes.

If your total property investment with Union Properties meets or exceeds AED 2 million, you qualify for the 10-year renewable UAE Golden Visa. This threshold is easily met by purchasing a Takaya townhouse or bundling three smaller apartment units.<\/p><\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <div class=\"faq-item\">\r\n <button class=\"faq-q\">What is the cheapest Union Properties off plan project?<\/button>\r\n <div class=\"faq-a\"><p>The most accessible entry points into the Union Properties portfolio are the studio and 1-bedroom apartments in their newest Motor City developments, Takaya and Mirdad, with launch prices starting from AED 753,000 to AED 763,000.<\/p><\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <div class=\"faq-item\">\r\n <button class=\"faq-q\">When will Union Properties hand over Takaya and Mirdad?<\/button>\r\n <div class=\"faq-a\"><p>Takaya is scheduled for delivery in Q4 2027.

Founded in 1987, Union Properties PJSC is the master developer behind Motor City and the Dubai Autodrome. In 2026, their portfolio is driven by monumental new launches within Motor City, including the Takaya mixed-use community and the AED 2 Billion Mirdad master-project.

On This Page What is off plan property by Union Properties? Why Union Properties is a smart Dubai bet in 2026 Is it a good investment in 2026? Every Union Properties off plan project Union Properties off plan prices Payment plans explained Freehold, Golden Visa & tax How to buy, step by step Why Motor City? Motor City vs Downtown Frequently asked questions What is off plan property by Union Properties? Off plan property by Union Properties is a premium asset you acquire directly from the master developer before its construction is completed, secured via structured construction-linked instalments. Union Properties is not a new entrant to the Dubai market; they have delivered over 10,000 units and built monumental infrastructure, including the Index Tower and the Dubai Autodrome. When you buy an off-plan property from Union, you are typically buying into a sprawling, fully integrated master community. Because the projects are heavily vetted and regulated by Dubai Land Department (DLD) escrow laws, your capital is protected while the asset appreciates toward handover. The appeal is powerful: large floor plans, deep integration with nature and wellness, highly flexible 60\/40 payment plans, and some of the best family-oriented rental yields in the emirate. Why Union Properties is a smart Dubai off-plan bet in 2026 Union Properties PJSC is publicly listed and holds a 30+ year legacy in the UAE. In early 2026, they posted a massive 66% revenue increase, signaling profound financial strength. They are actively reinvesting this capital to aggressively expand the footprint of Motor City. 1987Founded \u00b7 Dubai Pioneer AED 2B+Mirdad Launch Value 10,000+Units Successfully Delivered 7\u20138%Average Rental Yields The momentum in 2026 is undeniable. Union Properties is capitalizing on the shift toward wellness and sustainability: The Mirdad Mega-Launch: A newly unveiled AED 2 Billion flagship community spanning 356,931 square feet, featuring four towers, 1,087 apartments, and 26+ wellness amenities. Sustainable Infrastructure: The new projects feature high-performance facades for acoustic\/thermal insulation and EV chargers across 50% of the parking bays, drastically reducing long-term maintenance costs. Upcoming 2030 Metro: A new Dubai Metro station is planned to open directly in front of the Takaya development, which will historically drive a 15% to 20% surge in property valuations. Is off plan property by Union Properties a good investment in 2026? Yes \u2014 off plan property by Union Properties represents one of the safest, most consistent high-yield plays in the Dubai mid-to-upper market. The investment case is anchored by the maturity of Motor City: Value for Money: Apartments in Takaya and Mirdad start around AED 753,000 \u2014 offering significantly larger spaces than equivalent-priced units in Marina or JVC. Permanent Demand: Motor City is fully established with schools, hospitals, massive retail strips (Ribbon Mall, First Avenue), and the Autodrome, ensuring your property will never suffer from “ghost town” vacancy risks. Capital Appreciation: With the planned Metro expansion and the delivery of ultra-luxury townhouses, ground-floor off-plan investors capture significant upside prior to the 2027\/2028 handovers.

Properties<\/strong> means investing with one of Dubai's earliest pioneering developers. Founded in 1987, Union Properties PJSC is the master developer behind <strong>Motor City<\/strong> and the Dubai Autodrome. In 2026, their portfolio is driven by monumental new launches within Motor City, including the <strong>Takaya<\/strong> mixed-use community and the <strong>AED 2 Billion Mirdad<\/strong> master-project. Prices start from highly accessible entry points around <strong>AED 753,000<\/strong>, offering <strong>7\u20138% rental yields<\/strong>, massive green open spaces, full freehold ownership, and immediate UAE Golden Visa eligibility.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n \r\n <div class=\"toc\">\r\n <h4>On This Page<\/h4>\r\n <ol>\r\n <li><a href=\"#what\">What is off plan property by Union Properties?<\/a><\/li>\r\n <li><a href=\"#why\">Why Union Properties is a smart Dubai bet in 2026<\/a><\/li>\r\n <li><a href=\"#invest\">Is it a good investment in 2026?<\/a><\/li>\r\n <li><a href=\"#projects\">Every Union Properties off plan project<\/a><\/li>\r\n <li><a href=\"#prices\">Union Properties off plan prices<\/a><\/li>\r\n <li><a href=\"#payment\">Payment plans explained<\/a><\/li>\r\n <li><a href=\"#visa\">Freehold, Golden Visa & tax<\/a><\/li>\r\n <li><a href=\"#howto\">How to buy, step by step<\/a><\/li>\r\n <li><a href=\"#motorcity\">Why Motor City?

When you buy an off-plan property from Union, you are typically buying into a sprawling, fully integrated master community. Because the projects are heavily vetted and regulated by Dubai Land Department (DLD) escrow laws, your capital is protected while the asset appreciates toward handover.<\/p>\r\n <p>The appeal is powerful: <strong>large floor plans, deep integration with nature and wellness, highly flexible 60\/40 payment plans, and some of the best family-oriented rental yields in the emirate.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n \r\n <h2 id=\"why\">Why Union Properties is a smart Dubai off-plan bet in 2026<\/h2>\r\n <p>Union Properties PJSC is publicly listed and holds a 30+ year legacy in the UAE. In early 2026, they posted a massive 66% revenue increase, signaling profound financial strength. They are actively reinvesting this capital to aggressively expand the footprint of Motor City.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <div class=\"stats\">\r\n <div class=\"stat\"><div class=\"n\">1987<\/div><div class=\"l\">Founded \u00b7 Dubai Pioneer<\/div><\/div>\r\n <div class=\"stat\"><div class=\"n\">AED 2B+<\/div><div class=\"l\">Mirdad Launch Value<\/div><\/div>\r\n <div class=\"stat\"><div class=\"n\">10,000+<\/div><div class=\"l\">Units Successfully Delivered<\/div><\/div>\r\n <div class=\"stat\"><div class=\"n\">7\u20138%<\/div><div class=\"l\">Average Rental Yields<\/div><\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n <p>The momentum in 2026 is undeniable.

Flagship developments like Takaya and Mirdad in Motor City typically utilize a 60\/40 payment plan, meaning 60% is paid during construction and 40% on handover.<\/p><\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <div class=\"faq-item\">\r\n <button class=\"faq-q\">Is Takaya or Mirdad the better Union Properties investment?<\/button>\r\n <div class=\"faq-a\"><p>It depends on your timeline and asset preference. Takaya offers a mix of apartments, townhouses, and villas handing over in Q4 2027, making it ideal for diversified luxury living. Mirdad is the newly launched AED 2 Billion wellness-focused project handing over in Q4 2028, offering cutting-edge eco-features and slightly lower apartment entry prices.<\/p><\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <div class=\"faq-item\">\r\n <button class=\"faq-q\">What rental yield do Union Properties generate in Dubai?<\/button>\r\n <div class=\"faq-a\"><p>Union Properties assets located in Motor City typically generate solid rental yields of 7% to 8%. Motor City is a highly established, family-centric master community with schools, retail, and the Dubai Autodrome, resulting in historically low vacancy rates and high tenant retention.<\/p><\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <div class=\"faq-item\">\r\n <button class=\"faq-q\">Is off plan property in Motor City cheaper than Downtown Dubai?<\/button>\r\n <div class=\"faq-a\"><p>Yes. Motor City offers significant value-for-money compared to Downtown or Dubai Marina. Premium off plan apartments in Union Properties developments like Takaya start from around AED 753,000, offering larger floor plans and extensive green suburban amenities at a fraction of central city prices.<\/p><\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <div class=\"faq-item\">\r\n <button class=\"faq-q\">Can a foreigner buy off plan property in Motor City from Union Properties?<\/button>\r\n <div class=\"faq-a\"><p>Yes. Motor City is a designated freehold zone in Dubai. Foreign investors of all nationalities can purchase off plan property from Union Properties with 100% full ownership rights to sell, rent, mortgage, and transfer.<\/p><\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <div class=\"faq-item\">\r\n <button class=\"faq-q\">Can I get a UAE Golden Visa with a Union Properties asset?<\/button>\r\n <div class=\"faq-a\"><p>Yes. If your total property investment with Union Properties meets or exceeds AED 2 million, you qualify for the 10-year renewable UAE Golden Visa. This threshold is easily met by purchasing a Takaya townhouse or bundling three smaller apartment units.<\/p><\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <div class=\"faq-item\">\r\n <button class=\"faq-q\">What is the cheapest Union Properties off plan project?<\/button>\r\n <div class=\"faq-a\"><p>The most accessible entry points into the Union Properties portfolio are the studio and 1-bedroom apartments in their newest Motor City developments, Takaya and Mirdad, with launch prices starting from AED 753,000 to AED 763,000.<\/p><\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <div class=\"faq-item\">\r\n <button class=\"faq-q\">When will Union Properties hand over Takaya and Mirdad?<\/button>\r\n <div class=\"faq-a\"><p>Takaya is scheduled for delivery in Q4 2027. The newly launched Mirdad master-development is slated for a Q4 2028 handover, providing a longer runway for capital appreciation during the build phase.<\/p><\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <div class=\"faq-item\">\r\n <button class=\"faq-q\">What is Motor City and why is it unique?<\/button>\r\n <div class=\"faq-a\"><p>Motor City is a globally recognized master community developed entirely by Union Properties.

It blends high-energy entertainment with peaceful, green suburban family living.<\/p><\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <div class=\"faq-item\">\r\n <button class=\"faq-q\">Can I resell my Union Properties off plan unit before it is completed?<\/button>\r\n <div class=\"faq-a\"><p>Yes.

Every Union Properties off plan project Union Properties off plan prices Payment plans explained Freehold, Golden Visa & tax How to buy, step by step Why Motor City? Motor City vs Downtown Frequently asked questions What is off plan property by Union Properties? Off plan property by Union Properties is a premium asset you acquire directly from the master developer before its construction is completed, secured via structured construction-linked instalments. Union Properties is not a new entrant to the Dubai market; they have delivered over 10,000 units and built monumental infrastructure, including the Index Tower and the Dubai Autodrome. When you buy an off-plan property from Union, you are typically buying into a sprawling, fully integrated master community. Because the projects are heavily vetted and regulated by Dubai Land Department (DLD) escrow laws, your capital is protected while the asset appreciates toward handover. The appeal is powerful: large floor plans, deep integration with nature and wellness, highly flexible 60\/40 payment plans, and some of the best family-oriented rental yields in the emirate. Why Union Properties is a smart Dubai off-plan bet in 2026 Union Properties PJSC is publicly listed and holds a 30+ year legacy in the UAE. In early 2026, they posted a massive 66% revenue increase, signaling profound financial strength. They are actively reinvesting this capital to aggressively expand the footprint of Motor City. 1987Founded \u00b7 Dubai Pioneer AED 2B+Mirdad Launch Value 10,000+Units Successfully Delivered 7\u20138%Average Rental Yields The momentum in 2026 is undeniable. Union Properties is capitalizing on the shift toward wellness and sustainability: The Mirdad Mega-Launch: A newly unveiled AED 2 Billion flagship community spanning 356,931 square feet, featuring four towers, 1,087 apartments, and 26+ wellness amenities. Sustainable Infrastructure: The new projects feature high-performance facades for acoustic\/thermal insulation and EV chargers across 50% of the parking bays, drastically reducing long-term maintenance costs. Upcoming 2030 Metro: A new Dubai Metro station is planned to open directly in front of the Takaya development, which will historically drive a 15% to 20% surge in property valuations. Is off plan property by Union Properties a good investment in 2026? Yes \u2014 off plan property by Union Properties represents one of the safest, most consistent high-yield plays in the Dubai mid-to-upper market. The investment case is anchored by the maturity of Motor City: Value for Money: Apartments in Takaya and Mirdad start around AED 753,000 \u2014 offering significantly larger spaces than equivalent-priced units in Marina or JVC. Permanent Demand: Motor City is fully established with schools, hospitals, massive retail strips (Ribbon Mall, First Avenue), and the Autodrome, ensuring your property will never suffer from “ghost town” vacancy risks. Capital Appreciation: With the planned Metro expansion and the delivery of ultra-luxury townhouses, ground-floor off-plan investors capture significant upside prior to the 2027\/2028 handovers.
