UAE Real Estate Developer & New-Project Data via API

The UAE’s off-plan market moves fast. New towers launch weekly, payment plans change, and inventory sells out in days. If you’re tracking developers or building anything around new projects — an investor alert tool, a broker portal, a market dashboard — you need this data in a structured, queryable form. Here’s how to get it.

The scale of the new-project market

Across our dataset we track 1,000+ active off-plan projects from 300+ developers, with launch prices starting from around AED 340,000. The market is led by a familiar set of master developers:

Developer	Tracked projects
Aldar Properties	64
Emaar Properties	60
Damac Properties	57
Sobha Realty	49
Binghatti Developers	32
Azizi Developments	32
Nakheel	29
Ellington Properties	23

Beyond the majors, a long tail of boutique and mid-market developers (Arada, Meraas, Samana, Imtiaz and hundreds more) drives much of the launch volume — which is exactly why programmatic tracking beats manually following announcements.

Querying new projects

The search-new-projects endpoint returns off-plan developments with the details that actually matter for analysis: developer, location, starting price, payment plan, construction phase, and handover date.

import requests

HOST = "uae-real-estate-property.p.rapidapi.com"
HEADERS = {"x-rapidapi-host": HOST, "x-rapidapi-key": "YOUR_API_KEY"}

# Resolve a location, then list its new projects
loc = requests.get(f"https://{HOST}/autocomplete-location",
                   headers=HEADERS, params={"query": "Dubai Creek Harbour"}).json()
location_id = loc["data"]["locations"][0]["id"]

res = requests.get(f"https://{HOST}/search-new-projects", headers=HEADERS,
                   params={"location_id": location_id})
for proj in res.json()["data"]["properties"]:
    print(proj["title"]["en"], "—", proj.get("developer", {}).get("name"))

That single query answers searches we see constantly in real life — things like “new projects in Dubai Marina” — with a live, structured list instead of a scattered set of brochures.

Developer-level data

To go the other direction — starting from a developer rather than a location — use the real-estate-developer endpoint. It returns a developer’s profile and project portfolio, which is the backbone of any “developer directory” or due-diligence feature.

Common things teams build with it:

• Developer track-record pages — every active project, price range, and delivery timeline for a given developer.
• Launch monitors — poll periodically and alert when a developer posts a new project or changes a payment plan.
• Supply analysis — count upcoming handovers by community to anticipate rental-supply shifts (a leading indicator we discuss in our Dubai rental market report).

Off-plan as an investment signal

Off-plan data isn’t just a catalogue — it’s a forward-looking signal. Tracking launch prices against secondary-market transaction data reveals where developers are pricing optimism, and tracking handover schedules tells you where rental supply (and therefore yield pressure) is heading.

We go deeper on this in tracking off-plan projects in Dubai and the off-plan investment tracking use case.
