Dubai’s real estate sector has reinforced its role as a central driver of the emirate’s economic development, maintaining consistent performance and showcasing the resilience of the market. The diversity of investment prospects remains strong, with data from the Dubai Land Department (DLD) revealing that 24 real estate projects, collectively valued at AED4.5 billion, were completed during the first half of 2025.
This progress aligns with a broader upward trend, as 726 projects are currently under development across Dubai. The volume of ongoing construction signals robust demand from both developers and investors, while also pointing to an expedited pace of delivery to cater to the increasing appetite for independent properties and integrated residential developments.
During H1 2025, a total of 90,337 new real estate units entered the market, reinforcing the sector’s ongoing expansion. This surge demonstrates developers’ attentiveness to evolving market demands, particularly the growing preference for ready-to-occupy, environmentally conscious homes that provide comprehensive living environments.
A total of 75,347 real estate units were sold in the first half of the year, reaching a combined value of AED151 billion. This continued strength in residential transactions reflects investor confidence in Dubai’s long-term property market outlook. Villa sales, in particular, remained buoyant, with 7,167 units sold for over AED28 billion, indicating a marked shift in buyer interest towards standalone homes within fully serviced community settings.
