Location: Al Yufrah 1
Al Yufrah 1 is the area name used in the DLD register. Buyers sometimes know a project by a different community or master-plan name, so check exactly where the plot sits before you commit.
Before you decide, ask about these points:
- Which main roads give access to the site, and how long the drive to your workplace or to the airport is.
- Which schools, shops, healthcare and public transport are open today, and which are only planned.
- Whether the surrounding area is still under development, and what that means for noise and views in the early years.
- Whether the area is designated freehold for foreign buyers.

Construction progress and handover
The DLD register shows 0% construction progress, with building due to start in December 2026. Expected completion is Q4 2030. That is a planned date and not a promise, and Dubai off-plan handover dates can move.
Before you buy, check these things:
- The latest progress figure on the DLD register, once building has started.
- That the project and escrow account details match what is written in your reservation form and sales contract.
- What the contract says about delays and about the handover date.
- Which payments fall due before completion and which fall due at handover.

How to buy off-plan in The Woods
- Get the price list and payment plan. These are not published here, so ask Dani for the current prices, floor plans and payment plan.
- Reserve a unit. You pay a booking deposit and sign a reservation form.
- Sign the sales and purchase agreement (SPA). Read the payment schedule and the delay terms carefully.
- Register with the DLD. Off-plan sales are registered through Oqood. The DLD fee is generally 4% of the purchase price, plus smaller admin fees.
- Pay into escrow. Under Dubai law, buyer instalments for registered off-plan projects go into the project's escrow account and not to the developer directly.
Some buyers look at the AED 2 million property value threshold for the Golden Visa. Eligibility rules for off-plan property have conditions, so confirm the current requirements before you rely on it.
