Rabdan Developments
One hundred and forty-seven apartments in Meydan, from one-bedroom to a three-bedroom duplex — the developer’s most expensive Dubai launch, from AED 1.3 million.
Unit count, sizes, starting price and the payment schedule are published by the developer. The completion date is not consistent across its own pages — see the panel on dates.
Rabdan Avenue is the developer’s most ambitious Dubai project: 147 residences in Meydan, running from a 687 sq ft one-bedroom to a 2,937 sq ft three-bedroom duplex. Meydan sits inside the city rather than on its edge — the racecourse, the Nad Al Sheba golf courses and the Business Bay skyline are all close, and Downtown is a short drive over the canal.
The building is pitched at owner-occupiers more than yield buyers. Amenities are described as rooftop and podium, unit sizes are generous for the price point, and the duplexes give the building a top end that most Meydan stock does not have. The developer’s copy is unusually plain: “contemporary architecture, thoughtful proportions and a clear sense of purpose”.
On the plan. This is the most buyer-friendly schedule Rabdan publishes anywhere: 10% down plus the 4% DLD fee, then 10% at two months, and 5% at six, ten and eighteen months, with 60% on completion. Forty per cent before handover is unusual in a market where 75% is common — it also means the final payment is large and lands at a date that has moved between the developer’s own pages.
On the date. The project page says estimated completion Q1 2028; the payment plan on the same page says 60% due on completion in Q2 2029; the portfolio page says Q2 2029. The construction progress counters all read 0%, which is normal for a launch but tells you nothing. We treat Q2 2029 as the number to plan around and Q1 2028 as the number to hope for.
Compiled October 2026 from Rabdan Developments’ official Rabdan Avenue page and portfolio listing.

Three figures appear on Rabdan’s own website for one building:
| Where it appears | Date given |
|---|---|
| Rabdan Avenue project page — “estimated completion” | Q1 2028 |
| Rabdan Avenue project page — payment plan, final 60% | Q2 2029 |
| Portfolio / properties index | Q2 2029 |
Twelve to eighteen months is a material difference on a 40/60 plan, because the 60% is the payment you have to be ready for. Ask for the completion date in the SPA, not the website.
Starting price AED 1,300,000, on a 40/60 structure that is genuinely construction-weighted rather than the usual front-loaded schedule.
| Stage | Share | Note |
|---|---|---|
| On booking | 10% | Plus the 4% Dubai Land Department fee |
| 2 months from booking | 10% | Second deposit |
| 6 months from booking | 5% | Construction instalment |
| 10 months from booking | 5% | Construction instalment |
| 18 months | 5% | Construction instalment |
| 24 months | 5% | Final construction instalment |
| On completion | 60% | Q2 2029 per the payment plan |
The developer lists two instalments described as “18 months” — one from reservation and one from down payment. We have shown them as months 18 and 24; confirm the exact dates in the schedule, because with only 40% paid before handover, the spacing of the last 5% is the whole point of the plan.
On the day: 4% DLD, the developer’s administration fee, and the first year of service charges. On a AED 1.3 million apartment the DLD fee alone is AED 52,000.
Payment schedule as published by Rabdan Developments. The 4% DLD fee is additional and the schedule is confirmed per unit in the SPA.
The developer describes “curated lifestyle amenities” split between rooftop and podium levels rather than publishing a full schedule — the portfolio index shows no amenity count for this project at all, which is why the list above is general. Ask for the amenities schedule in writing.

A 147-residence apartment building by Rabdan Developments in Meydan, Dubai, with one to three-bedroom apartments and three-bedroom duplexes from AED 1.3 million.
From AED 1,300,000 for a one-bedroom of about 687 sq ft. Larger units and duplexes run to 2,937 sq ft, priced on request.
40/60 — 10% on booking plus 4% DLD, 10% at two months, 5% at six, ten, eighteen and twenty-four months, and 60% on completion.
The developer states Q1 2028 on the project page but Q2 2029 in the payment plan and on the portfolio page. Confirm the contractual date before reserving.
It is central, close to Downtown and Business Bay, and popular with professionals. The risk is supply rather than location — several buildings are delivering in the same window.
