Reportage Village

Reportage Village overview

Reportage Village is a gated community of 1,767 townhouses by Reportage Properties in Wadi Al Safa 7, Dubailand, next to Arabian Ranches. Reportage launched it on 27 September 2023 with an investment of AED 2 billion (Gulf News). It was the first project of Reportage International Real Estate, a new Dubai subsidiary (Zawya). The homes are 2, 3 and 4 bedroom townhouses on ground plus one and ground plus two floors, and some 4 bedroom units have an optional internal lift (Propsearch).

Reportage gives a plot area of 307,397 square metres, while the DLD register records a project area of 239,777 square metres and 1,753 units (Data Dubai). The community is filed with DLD as one project, Reportage Village 1, number 2784. It was under construction in October 2026, at 25.04% complete on DLD’s last inspection.

Reportage Village prices

Sources disagree on sizes: some broker pages list a 4,587 sq ft 3 bedroom with maid’s room, while DLD records many units at 947 or 977 sq ft, and Reportage’s own page shows “from AED 400k” and mentions penthouses. In the 12 months to September 2026, DLD registered 277 sales at a median of AED 1.32 million and AED 1,261 per sq ft (Data Dubai, data to 9 October 2026). By type, 2 bedroom homes had a median of AED 1.29 million (232 sales) and 3 bedroom homes AED 1.72 million (24 sales). Sales have slowed: DLD registered 731 sales in 2025 and 152 in 2026 to early October (Data Dubai).

Reportage Village payment plan

The main plan in September 2026 was 10/46/44 (Augusta Properties, 23 September 2026):

Larger deposits earn discounts and cut the handover payment. At launch, 20% down with a 10% discount left 34% on handover, and a 30% down plan with a 15% discount left 20% (DirectSB; Kelt and Co Realty). In July 2026 brokers also listed 10% down, 60% during construction and 30% on handover (Sales Office Dubai). No post-handover plan was found. On the main plan, 44% of the price falls due at handover.

Reportage Village location

Reportage Village is in Wadi Al Safa 7, part of Dubailand, beside Arabian Ranches and near Serena. Reportage gives drive times of about 5 minutes to IMG Worlds of Adventure, 15 minutes to Global Village, Zayed University and Dubai Hills Mall, and 20 minutes to Mall of the Emirates (accessed 12 October 2026).

When will Reportage Village be handed over?

Reportage Village is due for completion on 31 December 2027. That is its registered completion date at the Dubai Land Department (DLD), where the community is filed as “Reportage Village 1”, DLD project 2784. Reportage, Bayut listings and other portals market the handover as Q4 2027, and the launch payment plans set the final instalment for November 2027 (DirectSB).

The DLD inspection on 20 August 2026 recorded 25.04% complete (DLD project register via Continental Club). Reportage’s own project page shows a higher figure, 35% complete, without a date. Construction started on 31 December 2023, so about a quarter of the work, by DLD’s measure, took 32 months, and the rest has 16 months to the registered date.

Reportage Village construction update

The DLD register holds five inspections: 2.0% on 11 April 2025, 11.1% on 11 November 2025, 18.1% on 10 February 2026, 20.7% on 5 May 2026 and 25.04% on 20 August 2026 (Data Dubai). That is about 1.4 percentage points a month since April 2025. The register extract of 4 October 2026 showed no newer inspection (Mitchells).

DLD’s filed description is “875 residential villa” buildings of concrete and block, against 1,753 registered units. Reportage’s construction updates page showed no separate dated figure for Reportage Village when checked on 11 October 2026.

Reportage Village developer and delivery record

Reportage Properties is an Abu Dhabi developer. The DLD register lists the developer entity for this project as Reportage Prime Properties. Reportage’s construction updates page shows Alexis Tower, Rukan Lofts, The Gate, Oasis Residences, Oasis Residences 2, Al Raha Lofts and Al Maryah Vista 1 at 100% (accessed 11 October 2026). It launched Reportage Village through Reportage International Real Estate, a subsidiary set up for the Dubai market, and this was that company’s first project (Zawya, 27 September 2023).

What to check before buying at Reportage Village

1. Which progress figure applies. DLD recorded 25.04% in August 2026 while Reportage shows 35%. Construction-linked instalments follow certified progress.
2. The handover balance. Depending on the plan, 20% to 44% of the price is due at handover, which the SPA ties to completion.
3. The SPA date and grace period. The registered date is 31 December 2027, with three quarters of the work left in August 2026 on DLD’s figure.
4. Built-up area versus plot area. Listings and DLD records give different sizes for the same unit type, so the area stated in the SPA is the one to compare.
