About Deca Properties
DECA Properties (also written as DECA Developments) is a Dubai real estate developer run by a family that says it has more than 40 years of combined experience in residential property. DECA Properties calls itself a third-generation developer, and the team handles the full cycle in-house: finding land, running feasibility studies, getting approvals, appointing architects and contractors, building, and handing over.
A gap worth naming: DECA Properties does not publish a founding year, and I could not find one on its site or on Bayut. The 40 years refers to combined family experience, not to how long this company has traded. The brand itself looks recent, with its first projects launched around 2024 to 2025.
DECA works in two ways, and it helps to keep them separate:
As a developer, it builds and sells its own apartments, villa plots and hotel apartments.
As a sales and marketing partner, it runs launches and sells projects for other developers, using a network of about 2,600 registered brokers. The Unico project at DLRC is one example of this.
This matters when you read its headline numbers. The often-quoted 2,155-plus units mix DECA's own buildings with projects it only markets and sells for others, so it is not a count of what DECA has built.
This is the honest part most listings skip. As things stand, DECA's own-brand projects are off-plan and under construction, with handovers scheduled for 2026 and 2027. Avana only broke ground in January 2026. I found no completed, handed-over DECA-brand project on its site or on Bayut.
So treat the “158 completed projects” figure on some third-party sites as unverified. It does not match DECA's own description of itself as a young, third-generation developer, and it does not appear on any official source. Do not put it on your page.

DECA Properties builds homes across Dubai and the wider UAE, and at the moment everything it lists is off-plan. Its towers in Jumeirah Village Circle, Arjan and DLRC are where you’ll find apartments for sale, covering most budgets and family sizes. The smallest and most affordable option is at Avana Residences, where studios for sale start from about AED 680,000 and suit first-time buyers or investors. Larger families tend to look at Milos and Trinity, which offer 1, 2 and 3-bedroom apartments for sale from roughly AED 782,000 and AED 900,000. If a sea view matters more than the budget, Park Beach Residence on Al Marjan Island has beachfront apartments for sale from around AED 990,000. Buyers who would rather build their own home can look at Arabian Hills Estate, where DECA sells villa plots for sale on Dubai–Al Ain Road, with more land available at Al Zorah in Ajman. And for anyone chasing rental income instead of a place to live, there are hotel apartments for sale in Dubai Science Park and Dubai Production City. All of it is freehold property for sale, handled directly by DECA with a 10 percent booking deposit and payment plans that stretch past handover.
One note on wording: Arabian Hills sells land plots, not finished villas, so use “villa plots for sale” rather than “villas for sale.” DECA does not currently list townhouses on its site or on Bayut, so leave townhouses out until it publishes one.
DECA sells its own projects directly, without a middle agency, and prices them at developer rates. Payment plans start with a 10 percent booking deposit, with the rest split across construction and, on most projects, several years after handover. Milos, for example, runs a 50/50 plan with five years to pay after you get the keys.
One third-party property database lists DECA as registered with the Dubai Land Department (developer number 2149, dated November 2024) and licensed by Dubai's Department of Economy and Tourism (licence 1427360). These are flagged because they are not from DECA's own site or Bayut. Before you rely on them, confirm the developer and each project directly through the DLD website or the Dubai REST app, and check that any off-plan project you buy into has a registered escrow account.
DECA is an emerging, mid-market developer that competes on price, flexible payment plans and direct selling, rather than on a long delivery record it does not yet have. Its projects target entry to mid-level budgets, with apartments starting under AED 700,000 in JVC. A recent sign of momentum is a sales and marketing tie-up with the developer Unico, announced in December 2025.
