About Lapis Properties

Lapis Properties is a small Dubai developer with two live projects and a head office in Downtown Dubai. The first, Lazord, is a single residential building in Majan with studios, one and two-bedroom apartments, advertised for handover in December 2026. The second, Azure, is a 40-storey seafront tower at RAK Central in Ras Al Khaimah, completing in Q4 2028. The company is chaired by Emad Mohareb, with Khaled Owaidat as chief executive and Bilal Khashan as chief operating officer. The two projects could not be more different in ambition. Lazord is entry-level Dubai: units from a reported 371 sq ft, launched at AED 499,000 in 2024 and now quoting from AED 750,000. Azure is resort-market Ras Al Khaimah, priced from AED 790,000 and running to sky villas around AED 9.5 million, three minutes from the Wynn. What links them is the sales model rather than the architecture: both are sold off-plan on long payment plans, both lean on the same amenity list, and neither has been handed over. That is the thing to understand before buying. Lapis has no completed building to point to. Lazord began construction in January 2025 and was 13% complete at the end of April 2026, against a December 2026 handover date — a programme that looks optimistic rather than achievable. Azure, launched at the end of 2025, has four years to run. A buyer here is underwriting a first delivery, and the questions that matter are about escrow, contractor and programme rather than finishes. The company’s own communications are worth reading with that in mind. The site says 12 years of experience in one place and 20 years in the chairman’s message; the amenity list on the Majan project includes beachfront and marina facilities that the district cannot offer, apparently carried over from the Ras Al Khaimah project; and neither project page publishes a unit schedule, a floor count or a payment plan. Everything quantitative in this profile comes from DLD-linked records and portal listings, and is labelled that way.

What distinguishes Lapis Properties

Two markets, one playbook

Majan is a car-dependent Dubailand district selling to Dubai commuters and yield buyers; RAK Central is a resort market selling to investors pricing in the Wynn. The same developer, the same payment-plan logic, two very different exit risks.

Prices have moved sharply

Lazord launched at AED 499,000 for a studio in 2024 and quotes from AED 750,000 in October 2026, with registered sales of AED 597,500 for a 356 sq ft studio in July 2026. Early buyers have done well; late buyers are paying roughly 50% more for the same building.

Marketing ahead of the detail

The site claims both 12 and 20 years of experience, reuses one amenity list across a Dubailand plot and a RAK seafront, and publishes no unit mix, floor count or payment plan for either project. It is a sales site, not an information source.

No completed project

Lazord is the first building, 13% complete in April 2026 with a December 2026 handover. There is no track record to inspect, which is why the escrow account and the contractor matter more here than the brochure.

Buying a Lapis Properties home: what to check

A developer selling its first two buildings. The due diligence is about delivery, not design.

Which entity you are contracting with, and whether it is the same company that holds the escrow account.
The escrow arrangement — reported as Mashreq Bank for Lazord — and confirmation that payments go there and nowhere else.
Oqood registration with the Dubai Land Department within 60 days, and the equivalent registration route in Ras Al Khaimah for Azure.
Construction progress against the contracted date. For Lazord, ask for the latest DLD inspection rather than the developer’s own update.
The post-handover element of the Lazord plan: 16% over 24 months, and what happens if handover slips.
The facilities schedule in the SPA — the only binding statement of what gets built, given the amenity list is shared between projects.
Service charges, which are set by the owners’ association after the first year and can move sharply in a new building.
Resale terms and any restriction on transferring before handover.

A Dubai-based developer with two off-plan projects — Lazord in Majan and Azure at RAK Central — chaired by Emad Mohareb, with Khaled Owaidat as CEO.

How much do Lapis apartments cost?

Where does Lapis Properties build?

Majan in Dubailand, and RAK Central in Ras Al Khaimah. There is no third project on the developer’s site as of October 2026.

What payment plans does Lapis offer?

Lazord is reported at 20% on booking, 54% during construction, 10% on handover and 16% post-handover. Azure is 75/25 — three-quarters before handover.

Is Lapis Properties a good developer to buy from?

It is early. The pricing has been competitive and the payment plans are generous, but there is no completed building and the first handover looks behind schedule. We check escrow, contractor and programme before advising a client to reserve.

What is the official Lapis Properties website?

lapisproperties.com, with a head office at 48 Burj Gate, Office 601, Downtown Dubai. The site carries prices and amenities but no unit schedules or payment plans.

Sources and verification. Company background, leadership, amenities, locations and starting prices were checked against Lapis Properties’ official site (lapisproperties.com) in October 2026. That site publishes no unit schedules, floor counts or payment plans for either project; unit counts, sizes, payment structures and construction progress come from DLD-linked records and portal listings and are labelled reported. Committed to publication: nothing here is a valuation, a promise of return or appreciation, or a statement that any unit is available.
