Binghattibuilds the most projects here, then Azizi
Al Jaddaf is a building site turning into a neighbourhood. Binghatti and Azizi build about half of the projects we list, and nearly all of them start at a studio or a 1-bed. More than half of the handover dates have already passed, and the rest run to 2028. The metro, two big hospitals and the airport are all close.

Is there a metro in Al Jaddaf?
Yes. Al Jadaf and Creek stations on the Green Line are about 0.6 and 0.9 km from the middle of the area, and Dubai Healthcare City station about 1.4 km, in a straight line. The projects we list are 0.1 to 1.9 km from the middle, so check the walk from your building.
What will a 1-bed off-plan flat cost in Al Jaddaf?
In the projects we list, flats that start at one bedroom are priced from about AED 1.1 million to AED 1.9 million. Studios start at about AED 700,000. Prices were checked in November 2026.

How far is Al Jaddaf from Downtown and DIFC?
Burj Khalifa is about 6.2 km away and DIFC about 5 km, both in a straight line. Dubai World Trade Centre is about 4.3 km. The airport is about 5 km away, so ask about aircraft noise when you view a flat.
When will the new towers be finished?
More than half of the projects we list show a handover date that has already passed. That date may be out of date, so ask the developer where the building stands before you pay the next instalment. The rest are due from December 2026 to 2028, most of them in 2027. In the DLD register, active projects in Al Jaddaf are about a quarter complete on average.
