A Joint Development Agreement Between Landowner And Builder is a crucial document in the UAE real estate sector, particularly utilized when a landowner wishes to develop their property but lacks construction expertise or resources. This agreement type is common in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and other emirates, where rapid development and complex property projects require clear legal frameworks. The document addresses all aspects of the development process, from initial planning through to completion, including regulatory compliance, profit-sharing mechanisms, and risk allocation. It must comply with UAE Federal Laws, local emirate regulations, and RERA requirements where applicable. The agreement is particularly important given the UAE's unique legal framework combining civil law principles with local property regulations and Islamic law considerations.
