A house in Dubai, a stake in the family business and a portfolio managed from London may each answer to a different legal system.

Escrow Accounts and Off-Plan Property in Dubai: Where the Money Goes

Buying off-plan in Dubai? Discover how escrow accounts and RERA regulations protect your investment and ensure your funds are used only for construction.

On the payment schedule for a new off-plan apartment in Dubai, the account to be paid is not, as a rule, the developer’s own. It bears the name of the project, and it is held by a bank.

SAOTA Architecture in Dubai: Villas, Residences and the Practice's Global Work

SAOTA's stunning Dubai villas & residences showcase their signature light, space, & life design. Explore their global work & UAE projects.

Some of the most memorable moments in a SAOTA house are the quietest ones. A roof reaches out just far enough to shade a glazed room; stone gives a broad, open-plan interior some much-needed weight; a courtyard offers a moment of privacy before the house opens out to a garden, a mountain, or the sea. The scale can be considerable. The character, though, usually comes down to smaller decisions — the angle of a roofline against the sun, the extra half-turn a corridor takes to keep one room from overlooking another.
