METHODOLOGY

How to read this report

This report reflects the public-data snapshot held by Development Resolution on the review date. Its present scope is records categorized as cancelled or under cancellation; it is not a census of every delayed or stalled Dubai development. We do not claim month-over-month change until consistent historical snapshots exist for comparison.

Status, completion, developer and area fields are drawn from the public project records preserved in the dataset. Verify the live Dubai Land Department record before making a decision that depends on current status.
