The new housing package spans over 71 million square feet across three strategic locations in Dubai, forming part of the emirate’s broader citizen housing initiative designed to create integrated residential communities with advanced infrastructure and high quality of life standards.
Allocations will be conducted through the Emirati platform on the DubaiNow app in the coming week, according to Dubai Media Office.
“Today we approved the allocation of 4,631 residential plots valued at Dh5.3 billion, spanning an area of over 71 million square feet in Al Eyas, Latifa City and Mushrif areas. Our vision is consistent: Dubai’s true capital is its people and their families. The UAE citizen will always remain at the top of our priorities,” Sheikh Mohammed said.
The Dubai Ruler emphasized that providing suitable housing for every Emirati family is central to Dubai’s development strategy, describing the initiative as part of broader urban development projects aimed at building integrated and vibrant communities.
Sheikh Mohammed added that Dubai’s goal is to become the world’s best city for family life by offering a leading urban ecosystem that combines an integrated social environment and advanced housing supported by state-of-the-art infrastructure and services.
Comprehensive Infrastructure for Future Communities
The new residential plots are designed according to future urban planning standards, integrating green and open spaces to promote safe, healthy, and socially connected living. The planned communities will offer easy access to service centres providing top-tier amenities, supported by sustainable infrastructure that aligns with the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan.
Eng Marwan bin Ghalita praised Sheikh Mohammed’s initiative, saying it “supports Dubai’s sustainable urban development and reflects Sheikh Mohammed’s commitment to the welfare of citizens.”
Dubai Municipality is committed to carrying out Sheikh Mohammed’s directives by creating an urban planning model for future-ready residential communities supported by sustainable infrastructure and integrated services, Eng Marwan noted.
Allocation Details Across Three Communities
The Al Eyas area will receive 2,540 plots covering 39 million square feet. The community will feature advanced infrastructure, mosques, a neighbourhood Majlis, retail centres, a school, and an early childhood centre. Parks, recreational facilities, and a green path with cycling tracks will connect all neighbourhoods.

Dubai’s Vision for Family-Centric Urban Development
Dubai Municipality is committed to advancing sustainable urban planning and cutting-edge construction to create integrated neighbourhoods. By leveraging the latest technologies, the municipality aims to enhance the quality of life for all residents while preserving the city’s aesthetics.
The initiative reflects Dubai’s ambition to remain a premier global destination while providing Emirati citizens with modern, safe, and community-focused living spaces. The new housing package reinforces Dubai’s position as a city that nurtures families and supports their wellbeing through comprehensive urban development that prioritizes people-centric design.
The residential allocation comes as Dubai’s property market continues to demonstrate robust activity, with the emirate’s real estate sector maintaining strong transaction volumes and investor confidence across all segments.
