Rayhan: 3 and 4-Bedroom Townhouses in Dubai South by BT Holdings
Rayhan is a townhouse development by BT Holdings, located within the Waada by Bahria Town master community in Dubai South (Dubai World Central). The project broke ground in November 2025 and targets handover in October 2028, making it an off-plan opportunity with a clear three-year build horizon.
Getting In for 10%
The payment structure here is one of the more buyer-friendly setups in the current market. A 10% down payment secures the unit. From there, 60% distributes across the construction period, and 30% follows after handover.
| Phase | Amount |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 10% |
| During construction | 60% |
| Post-handover | 30% |
That post-handover tranche is the detail that matters most for cash flow planning. A buyer entering today commits a relatively small amount upfront, pays progressively through the build, and then settles the final 30% after the keys are in hand. For investors, this delays peak capital deployment until the asset is delivered and rental income becomes possible.
What AED 2.7M to AED 3.1M Gets You Here
Pricing runs from AED 2,691,100 for a 3-bedroom townhouse to AED 3,063,000 for a 4-bedroom. The spread of roughly AED 372,000 is narrow, which tells you the difference is almost entirely bedroom count rather than a dramatic shift in specification or size.
The 3-bedroom units come in at approximately 2,731 square feet, and the 4-bedroom units at around 2,943 square feet. Both are generously proportioned by Dubai standards. A family townhouse of this footprint typically attracts owner-occupiers looking for practical living space or investors targeting family tenants who need room rather than location prestige.
At the 3-bedroom entry price, Rayhan sits in the mid-market townhouse segment for Dubai South. A buyer at this level is choosing space and a structured payment plan over proximity to the city centre. The 4-bedroom unit suits a larger household or a buyer who wants more resale optionality, as larger family-format units attract a consistent pool of end-user demand in suburban communities.
Dubai South: The Long-Horizon District
Dubai South surrounds Al Maktoum International Airport and Expo City Dubai, the redeveloped site of the 2020 World Expo. The district sits roughly 30 to 35 kilometres south of Downtown Dubai. That distance is the central trade-off for any buyer here: lower price per square foot and larger unit sizes in exchange for a longer commute and an area that is still building out its retail and hospitality infrastructure.
Waada by Bahria Town, the master community containing Rayhan, brings built-in density and shared amenities to what is otherwise sparsely developed land. For a buyer making a three-year off-plan commitment, the relevant question is whether the infrastructure catching up to the residential supply by 2028 justifies the entry price today.
Inside the Community
| Category | Amenities |
|---|---|
| Recreation | Infinity Pool, Gymnasium, Landscaped Gardens |
| Family | International School, Children's Play Area |
| Convenience | Restaurants, Security |
The standout is the on-site international school. In a suburb still developing its external services, having schooling within the community boundary changes the daily logistics for families in a meaningful way. The infinity pool, gymnasium, and landscaped gardens provide a complete leisure offering without leaving the site. Security rounds out a standard gated community provision.
The amenity profile is aimed squarely at a family with school-age children who wants space, greenery, and a degree of self-sufficiency within the community perimeter. It is not targeted at the short-term rental market.
Handover in October 2028
Construction started in November 2025. The expected completion is October 2028, a build timeline of approximately three years. For a buyer entering now, this is a fully off-plan commitment with no near-term delivery. The 60% construction-phase payments spread the cost across that window, and the 30% post-handover tranche means the final settlement lands after the asset is in hand. That sequence reduces the period where the buyer holds a large unleveraged commitment on an undelivered unit.
