  • UAE Property Market Launches 59 Projects Worth Dh118.3 Billion Since Conflict Began

    UAE Property Market Launches 59 Projects Worth Dh118.3 Billion Since Conflict Began

    Based on the latest data from Property Monitor, Matt Gregory, senior director of strategy at Bayut and dubizzle, confirmed the 59 projects represented more than 12,000 units across the UAE launched after the conflict escalated.

    “This continued launch activity reflects sustained developer confidence and the market’s ability to progress despite short-term uncertainty. The total estimated gross sales value (GSV) of all those units launched is Dh118.3 billion,” Gregory said.

    The regional military conflict involving the US, Israel and Iran escalated on February 28, 2026. Following the US-Israel attacks, Iran targeted the UAE and other Gulf countries with missiles and drones.

    The property sector, which was already undergoing a correction phase after a strong five-year rally, came under pressure due to the conflict. However, the market demonstrated resilience and has been recovering since the ceasefire.

    Market Recovery and Engagement Metrics

    According to Bayut and dubizzle Property data, active users rebounded to 85% of the 2026 baseline by day 58 of the conflict, while unique buyers returned to 87%. The recovery was even more pronounced across platform engagement metrics, with impressions reaching 92% of the 2026 baseline, views reaching 89%, and high-intent enquiries recovering to 80%.

    “Periods of uncertainty often reveal the true strength of a market. What we are seeing across our platforms is a measured and confident return of activity, supported by serious buyers, committed agents and increasingly data-led decision-making. The UAE real estate market continues to demonstrate maturity, with users actively engaging with trusted tools such as TruEstimate and Dubai Transactions to understand value, compare opportunities and make better-informed choices. This is exactly the kind of behaviour that supports long-term market stability,” Matt Gregory said.

    Dubai’s Strong Property Interest

    Dubai continued to witness strong property interest across both ready and off-plan segments. In ready sales, communities such as Jumeirah Village Circle, Business Bay, Downtown Dubai, Dubai Marina and Arjan were among the most searched apartment areas. For villas, Damac Hills 2, Dubai Hills Estate, Arabian Ranches 3, Arabian Ranches and Dubai South led buyer interest.

    For off-plan demand, areas such as Majan, Jumeirah Village Circle, Dubai South, Jumeirah Village Triangle and Business Bay stood out for apartments. Villa demand was led by The Oasis by Emaar, The Valley by Emaar, Damac Lagoons, Dubai South and Mohammed Bin Rashid City.

    Rather than seeing stress in specific communities, Bayut and dubizzle data indicated that established residential areas continued to attract strong interest, particularly those with proven lifestyle appeal, mature infrastructure and sustained end-user demand, Gregory said.

    Rental Market Remains Robust

    Data also showed that rental demand remained concentrated in established and emerging family and lifestyle communities. Jumeirah Village Circle, Arjan, Business Bay, Dubai Marina and Meydan ranked among the most popular apartment rental areas. For villas, Damac Hills 2, Dubai South, Mirdif, Arabian Ranches 3 and The Valley by Emaar were among the most searched rental communities.

    The latest findings point to a market that is not only recovering, but doing so with greater reliance on data, transparency and qualified engagement, nearly two months after the onset of the recent regional uncertainty. The data reinforces the underlying resilience of the UAE’s real estate market as new policy measures and infrastructure projects continue to support buyer confidence.

  • Sharjah Commercial Property Market Posts Strong Q1 2026 Performance

    Sharjah Commercial Property Market Posts Strong Q1 2026 Performance

    Sharjah’s commercial real estate sector recorded strong gains during the first quarter of 2026, driven by rising demand for quality office space, sustained industrial activity, and growing investor confidence, according to global real estate advisor Savills.

    The emirate is evolving from a cost-driven alternative into a more mature, demand-led commercial market, steered by improving infrastructure, expanding logistics connectivity, and a growing supply of higher-quality developments.

    Premium Office Space Commands New Pricing Power

    Occupancy across prime Grade A office buildings has reached approximately 85 percent, with these assets now achieving rental premiums of three to four times over older Grade C stock. Prime office rents in Sharjah remain 50 to 60 percent lower than comparable Dubai locations, yet the gap is narrowing as quality improves.

    Savills forecasts prime office rental growth of between 5 to 10 percent across 2026, supported by constrained near-term Grade A supply.

    Ongoing cost pressures in Dubai have led to spillover demand into Sharjah. However, businesses are increasingly looking toward the emirate for its operational efficiency and connectivity in addition to its affordability.

    “The commercial market of Sharjah is entering a new phase of maturity defined by the quality of its offer rather than simple cost arbitrage. Occupiers across both the office and industrial sectors are making deliberate, long-term commitments to the emirate, drawn by improving specifications, strategic connectivity, and a competitive cost base,” said Shane Breen, Head of Sharjah & Northern Emirates at Savills Middle East.

    Industrial Sector Benefits from Supply Chain Shifts

    The industrial and logistics sector in Sharjah continues to benefit from broader structural shifts across global supply chains as businesses prioritize resilience and decentralized logistics networks. Demand remains concentrated in key hubs such as Al Sajaa and along the E611 corridor, driven by third-party logistics operators, distributors, and light manufacturing occupiers.

    Industrial transaction values increased by 89 percent year-on-year to AED9.2 billion, reflecting rising investor confidence and strengthening land values. Emirates Industrial City recorded the strongest annual land value growth, doubling in value, followed by Al Qasimia City at 87.5 percent and Al Sajaa at 43.8 percent.

    Meanwhile, the industrial rental market in Sharjah recorded average rental growth of 61 percent year-on-year, with Emirates Industrial City and Al Sajaa among the strongest-performing locations.

    Strategic Cost Advantage Underpins Long-Term Appeal

    Looking ahead, Savills expects the commercial property market of Sharjah to maintain positive momentum through 2026. The emirate’s 30 to 50 percent cost advantage compared to Dubai and Abu Dhabi is expected to continue supporting long-term occupier and investor appeal.

    The performance aligns with broader momentum across the UAE’s real estate sector. Dubai’s property sector demonstrated exceptional resilience in Q1 2026, while Abu Dhabi property prices jumped 6.4% during the same period, underscoring sustained investor confidence across the region.

  • Dubai Property Transactions Above Dh10 Million Surge Post-Ceasefire

    Dubai Property Transactions Above Dh10 Million Surge Post-Ceasefire

    Dubai developers confirmed on May 12, 2026, that the emirate’s property market remains on solid footing despite recent geopolitical tensions, with buyer confidence gradually returning and major projects progressing as scheduled.

    Transaction value typically outperforms April by 10 to 30 percent, with residential contributing over 80 per cent of the total market value, according to Property Finder.

    Cherif Sleiman, chief revenue officer of Property Finder, noted that Dubai’s property market in May will “be building from a softer starting point than the summers of 2023 or 2024, given where March landed.”

    June typically pulls back 8 to 12 per cent below May, July recovers, and August through September builds gradually. That pattern has held consistently since 2021, the real estate platform noted.

    High-Value Transactions Return

    “At Springfield Properties, we observed a sharp slowdown in transaction volumes through March, driven by sudden uncertainty. However, from early April — particularly post-ceasefire — we have seen a decisive pickup in activity,” Farooq Syed, CEO of Springfield Properties, said.

    He confirmed that from mid-April onwards, right after the proposed ceasefire deal between Iran and the US, the development has seen a resurgence in high-value activity, with transactions exceeding Dh10 million.

    After the temporary resurgence of attacks on the UAE, Syed said that the underlying fundamentals which support the real estate sector remained intact, though naturally, buyers were cautious.

    The surge in ultra-luxury transactions aligns with broader market trends. Dubai recorded over Dh180 billion in Q1 2026, with ultra-luxury deals valued above Dh10 million surging 62.6% year-on-year to 2,148 transactions.

    Construction Progress Continues

    Dugasta Properties, a real estate developer in Dubai, is among many developers carrying on with project deliveries, including its upcoming Al Haseen Residence 6 project.

    The development’s construction progress, project delivery, and developer pipelines continue to move forward “with confidence across the market,” according to Tauseef Khan, Founder and Chairman at Dugasta Properties.

    “The recent regional developments and heightened security concerns have naturally captured global attention and prompted a more cautious sentiment across international markets. Buyers and investors usually take more time to calculate their next steps in times of unpredictability, which lead to a more measured pace of activity in the short term.”

    Khan told Khaleej Times that Dubai’s property market continues to outperform expectations, with particularly strong momentum around ready-to-move-in homes and income-generating assets.

    Dubai-based Grovy Developers confirmed last month that its residential project, RIVO by Grovy, was progressing on schedule. The 133-unit residential landmark is situated in Dubai Land Residential Complex, with studios starting at Dh690,000. The developer confirmed the project is ready to advance into the next construction phase in line with its Q4 2027 handover commitment.

    Market Outlook

    Looking ahead, Syed expects this renewed momentum to translate into higher conversion levels through May, especially as previously cautious buyers continue to re-engage.

    “Dubai has consistently demonstrated its ability to rebound quickly once uncertainty subsides, and the pace of recovery we are seeing suggests this cycle will follow a similar trajectory — with momentum building rather than resetting.”

    The market’s resilience is further supported by structural reforms. Dubai eliminated the Dh750,000 minimum property value for residency visas on April 30, 2026, opening the market to a broader pool of investors and first-time buyers.

    Meanwhile, the $9 billion Gold Line Metro expansion and sustained off-plan demand continue to support market stability, with off-plan properties reaching 76% of all April transactions.

  • Emaar Properties Records Dh22.4 Billion in Q1 2026 Sales

    Emaar Properties Records Dh22.4 Billion in Q1 2026 Sales

    Dubai’s leading real estate developer demonstrated robust performance in Q1 2026, with total revenue reaching Dh12.4 billion—a 23% jump compared to the same period in 2025. The growth was supported by strong contributions from both UAE and international operations.

    Emaar’s subsidiary, Emaar Development, recorded property sales of Dh20.1 billion during the quarter, representing a 22% increase year-on-year. The company’s net profit climbed to just under Dh3.5 billion, a 36% surge from Q1 2025.

    As of March 31, 2026, Emaar’s revenue backlog stood at approximately Dh163.4 billion, reflecting a 29% annual increase and providing strong revenue visibility for the coming years. Emaar Development’s backlog reached Dh134.6 billion, up 35% from the prior year.

    “Our performance in the first quarter of 2026 reflects the strength and resilience of the UAE economy, which continues to provide a stable foundation despite broader regional volatility,” said Mohamed Alabbar, founder of Emaar.

    Alabbar emphasized that recent geopolitical developments have reinforced the UAE’s position as a market defined by safety, institutional continuity, and long-term vision. “The UAE’s stability is the result of decades of wise leadership, sustained investment in world-class infrastructure, and a clear, business-friendly policy environment,” he added.

    Despite regional tensions affecting the quarter’s final weeks, Emaar Development maintained construction schedules across all ongoing projects. The company launched 10 new residential projects across its master-planned communities in response to evolving market demand.

    The developer recently distributed a dividend equivalent to 100% of its share capital to shareholders, amounting to Dh8.9 billion—marking the second consecutive year of such a payout.

    Emaar’s Q1 performance aligns with broader market trends showing Dubai’s property sector resilience, as the emirate’s real estate market continues to attract sustained investor interest. The company’s strong backlog and project pipeline position it well to capitalize on Dubai’s robust Q1 market activity, which saw total transactions exceed Dh180 billion across the emirate.

  • UAE Property Demand Holds Firm Despite Regional Uncertainty

    UAE Property Demand Holds Firm Despite Regional Uncertainty

    The UAE’s residential property market continues to demonstrate resilience amid regional geopolitical uncertainty, with underlying demand remaining intact as buyers adopt a more cautious and selective approach rather than withdrawing entirely.

    According to Savills Middle East’s latest investor sentiment survey, conducted among investors, end users, landlords, tenants and prospective residents, nearly 45% of respondents intend to purchase property in the next 12 months, while a further 32% remain undecided. The data points to decision-making delays rather than a fundamental loss of demand.

    “The data clearly shows that demand remains intact,” said Andrew Cummings, head of residential agency at Savills Middle East. “What we are seeing is a shift in behaviour rather than a drop in interest. Buyers are taking more time, becoming more selective and focusing on fundamentals such as location, quality and long-term value.”

    After several years of strong post-pandemic growth, the residential market is now moving into what Savills describes as a more balanced and mature phase. Transaction activity remains high by historical standards, supported by population growth, capital inflows and a strong development pipeline, but momentum has moderated in recent months as buyers take a more cautious approach.

    Importantly, the slowdown is not being driven by distress selling. More than 60% of existing property owners surveyed said they plan to hold or expand their portfolios over the next six months, with only around 4% considering selling. This lack of selling pressure has helped support prices across several segments, even as transaction volumes soften.

    “The absence of widespread selling pressure reflects continued confidence among existing property owners. As a result, the market is moving towards a more balanced and sustainable phase rather than experiencing any structural correction.”

    Pricing expectations, however, have moderated. More than 80% of respondents expect prices to either remain stable or soften over the next year, contributing to longer transaction timelines and increased negotiation, particularly in the apartment segment where supply is perceived to be higher. Savills noted that this has created a gap between buyer expectations and seller pricing, resulting in slower deal-making rather than outright price declines.

    Buyer preferences are also shifting notably. Around 60% of respondents expressed a preference for ready properties, compared with about 23% favouring off-plan homes, reflecting a growing emphasis on certainty around delivery, pricing and immediate usability.

    External factors are playing an increasingly important role in shaping sentiment. Regional and geopolitical uncertainty emerged as the single biggest barrier to market entry, outweighing traditional concerns such as pricing or financing. Even so, Savills said the survey showed little evidence of knee-jerk seller reactions.

    Looking ahead, the firm expects the market to continue adjusting in the near term, with softer transaction volumes and more deliberate deal-making. While secondary apartments may face greater pressure, villas and prime residential assets are expected to remain relatively resilient, supported by the UAE’s long-term fundamentals and population growth.

    The findings align with recent market data showing sustained activity across the emirate. Dubai’s property market has demonstrated resilience with little evidence of distressed deals, while April 2026 sales reached Dh48 billion across nearly 14,000 transactions despite early signs of price moderation.

  • Abu Dhabi Home Sales Rebound in April with 3,200 Transactions

    Abu Dhabi Home Sales Rebound in April with 3,200 Transactions

    Residential property activity in Abu Dhabi demonstrated resilience through March and April, with transaction volumes and values in April returning to levels seen earlier in the year, according to new market insights released by the Abu Dhabi Real Estate Centre (Adrec).

    Data covering the past eight weeks shows that residential unit sales softened slightly in March before gathering pace again in April. Around 2,600 residential transactions were recorded in March, compared with approximately 2,700 in January and 3,100 in February. April saw more than 3,200 residential unit sales, surpassing transaction volumes from the first two months of the year.

    In value terms, April marked a strong month, with residential sales exceeding Dh13 billion, reflecting sustained buyer interest despite broader price stability across the market.

    Adrec noted that ready unit sales provide the clearest indication of near-term demand, as they reflect immediate purchasing decisions rather than forward commitments typically associated with off-plan transactions. Over the eight-week period, ready sales broadly tracked recent historical averages, with March recording 482 transactions worth around Dh1.2 billion. In April, ready sales recovered to 529 units with transaction values returning to around Dh1.6 billion, in line with earlier norms.

    Off-plan development activity remained steady over the period, with several major projects launched across the emirate. These included Modon’s Tara Park, Ohana Development’s Manchester City Yas Residences, Aldar’s Yas Park Place and Sobha City Abu Dhabi, underscoring continued confidence among developers and a steady pipeline of new supply entering the market. The Tara Park sell-out on Reem Island generated approximately AED2 billion in sales.

    On pricing, listing data suggested limited downward pressure. Roughly 90 per cent of residential listings recorded no change or posted price increases. Where reductions were made, they were generally modest, with between 85 per cent and 90 per cent of adjusted listings seeing decreases of less than 10 per cent, pointing to contained and selective repricing rather than broad-based declines.

    The rental market continued to expand, with the total number of active leased residential units rising steadily on a week-by-week basis throughout 2026. Adrec noted that while growth has moderated in line with trends seen over the past two to three years, high occupancy levels continue to underpin leasing activity across the emirate.

    The emirate’s performance follows the second-strongest quarter on record in Q1 2026, when transaction volumes in Abu Dhabi City exceeded 7,200 deals, just below the all-time peak of 7,600 recorded in Q4 2025.

    Adrec said the latest data release is part of its ongoing efforts to improve transparency and provide market participants with clearer insight into evolving real estate trends in Abu Dhabi, with transaction indicators and performance data available through its official platform.

  • Modon’s Tara Park Sells Out with AED2 Billion in Sales

    Modon has completed the sell-out of Tara Park on Reem Island, marking a significant milestone as the 834-apartment development generated approximately AED2 billion in sales. The achievement reflects sustained investor confidence in Abu Dhabi’s property sector as the emirate solidifies its position as a global safe-haven investment destination.

    “Tara Park further validates Modon’s disciplined, market-driven approach, connecting a prime location and thoughtful placemaking to generate sustainable urban growth and long-term value. We continue to see strong demand across the market, which speaks to the confidence that local and international buyers continue to place in Abu Dhabi, particularly for projects where clear attention to quality of life supports future investment potential,” said Bill O’Regan, Group CEO of Modon Holding.

    International Buyers Drive 60% of Demand

    The development attracted significant international interest, with approximately 60% of buyers originating from overseas markets. Russia, the United Kingdom, and India represented the leading sources of demand, demonstrating the project’s broad global appeal.

    Notably, 85% of buyers were first-time investors with Modon, underscoring both the strength of the development’s positioning and its success in expanding the developer’s international investor base.

    “The sell-out Tara Park sends a clear signal. Buyers are not hesitating. Buyers are making considered, long-term decisions. Tara Park was designed with clear buyer priorities and needs in mind, and the market response has validated that approach entirely,” said Ibrahim Al Maghribi, CEO of Modon Real Estate.

    Premium Location with Integrated Amenities

    Tara Park comprises six residential towers offering one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments. The towers are connected by an active podium that provides residents with access to a wide range of amenities and direct connectivity to Reem Mall.

    The development’s strategic location offers proximity to Fay Park, Sorbonne University Abu Dhabi, and Repton School, alongside easy access to Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), The Galleria Mall, and the wider city center.

    The sell-out coincides with record-breaking performance across Abu Dhabi’s residential market, which delivered its second-strongest quarter on record in Q1 2026. Transaction volumes in Abu Dhabi City exceeded 7,200 deals, just below the all-time peak of 7,600 recorded in Q4 2025, according to Savills’ latest Market in Minutes report.

    As ultra-high-net-worth individuals continue to increase across the UAE, developments like Tara Park demonstrate sustained appetite for quality residential projects in prime locations. The capital’s momentum reflects broader confidence in the UAE’s economic resilience and long-term growth trajectory.

  • UFC Legend Khabib Nurmagomedov Enters UAE Real Estate Market

    UFC Legend Khabib Nurmagomedov Enters UAE Real Estate Market

    The partnership debuts with LuzOra Residences, a premium development designed as a hybrid hotel and residential concept that combines the flexibility of home ownership with the convenience of hotel-style living. The project caters to both investors and end users, with 70% of units allocated to investors and 30% to end users, reflecting Dubai’s growing appetite for high-yield, lifestyle-oriented real estate assets.

    Faruh Kurbanov, Founder of DIA Holding, said the partnership is rooted in shared values of discipline, consistency, and performance. He noted that Nurmagomedov’s undefeated sporting career mirrors the company’s commitment to precision and timely delivery, making him a natural fit as DIA expands its presence in the UAE.

    The move into real estate aligns with my long-term vision in business. This partnership goes beyond construction to creating meaningful living environments that support communities and future growth.

    The collaboration signals Nurmagomedov’s continued involvement in DIA Holding’s future pipeline, with plans for additional developments, including a branded project expected within the next year. The agreement represents a long-term strategic commitment rather than a single-project partnership.

    Dubai Islands, where LuzOra Residences is located, has emerged as one of the emirate’s most dynamic waterfront destinations. The area continues to attract international investors and developers as part of Dubai’s broader vision to expand its residential and hospitality offerings along strategic coastal locations.

    The retired mixed martial arts champion, who concluded his professional career with an unblemished 29-0 record, has increasingly focused on business ventures since leaving the octagon. His entry into Dubai’s off-plan market comes as the sector continues to demonstrate resilience, with the hybrid hotel-residential model gaining traction among investors seeking flexible, service-oriented properties.

    The $70 million investment reflects confidence in Dubai’s real estate fundamentals, which have maintained momentum despite regional challenges. The emirate’s property sector recorded robust transaction volumes in recent months, with lifestyle-driven projects attracting both regional and international capital.

    Industry observers note that celebrity-backed developments have gained prominence in Dubai’s competitive real estate landscape, with high-profile partnerships often serving as key differentiators in project marketing and sales velocity. Nurmagomedov’s global recognition and dedicated following across multiple markets could enhance the project’s appeal to international buyers.

    The timing of the launch coincides with renewed interest in hotel apartment concepts, which now dominate Dubai’s furnished property segment as professionals and investors prioritize move-in-ready convenience and potential rental yields.

  • UAE Real Estate Records AED6 Billion Yas Island Sale in March 2026

    UAE Real Estate Records AED6 Billion Yas Island Sale in March 2026

    The UAE’s property market continued to strengthen its position as a premier global real estate destination throughout March 2026, driven by record-breaking demand, rapid project launches, and sustained investor confidence across all major emirates.

    Abu Dhabi led the performance surge with the Yas Island project achieving AED6 billion ($1.63 billion) in sales, with all units selling out within 72 hours of launch. The exceptional sales velocity reflects the continued appetite for premium residential developments in the capital.

    Dubai’s market maintained robust activity, with AED10 billion in transactions completed within a single 10-day period. The emirate also recorded the third-highest residential deal in its history, with a luxury apartment transaction valued at AED422 million ($114.9 million), underscoring continued demand at the ultra-high-end segment.

    Sharjah’s property sector experienced remarkable growth during Ramadan, with transactions surging 72% to reach AED4.6 billion, demonstrating the emirate’s growing appeal among investors and end-users alike.

    The accelerating pace of developments and the growth in transactions across all three emirates illustrate the durability of the UAE property market and its international status as a dependable long-term investment location. Industry observers note that the consistent volume of fresh development launches and ongoing construction activity throughout March 2026 reflects both developer confidence and sustained buyer demand.

    Market trends observed during the period include record-breaking demand across residential segments, strong investor confidence despite regional uncertainties, and rapid project launches meeting immediate market absorption. The performance across specific regions highlights the diversification of investment flows beyond Dubai, with Abu Dhabi and Sharjah capturing significant market share.

    The sustained momentum in the UAE’s property sector aligns with broader economic fundamentals, including population growth, infrastructure development, and the country’s position as a safe haven for international capital. The off-plan segment continues to drive activity, supported by competitive pricing and flexible payment plans offered by developers.

    As the market enters the second quarter of 2026, the strong performance in March sets a positive trajectory for continued growth, with several major project launches anticipated across all emirates in the coming months.

  • Dubai Commercial Property Prices Jump 28% Despite Regional Conflict

    Dubai Commercial Property Prices Jump 28% Despite Regional Conflict

    Dubai’s commercial property prices climbed 28% year-on-year during the period from February 28 to March 19, 2026, according to data released by Property Finder on April 2, 2026, demonstrating resilience in the emirate’s commercial real estate segment despite the start of regional conflict.

    Several communities recorded exceptional growth in per-square-meter prices, with Dubai Investment Park Second witnessing a 323% increase compared to the same period last year, while Al Safouh saw prices rise by 286%.

    Cherif Sleiman, Chief Revenue Officer at Property Finder, attributed the price growth to transactions concentrating at higher values.

    The primary segment continues to show relative strength compared to the overall market, with transactions up to 1.9% year-on-year across the same period (Feb 28 – March 19).

    Total real estate transactions between February 28 and March 19 stood at 8,549 compared to 10,404 in the same period last year, amounting to Dh28 billion ($7.62 billion) compared to Dh32.7 billion ($8.9 billion) the previous year. However, the commercial segment saw a 44.2% decline in transaction volumes year-on-year during this period.

    In the off-plan segment, primary transactions increased by 1.9% year-on-year despite lower overall volumes, with year-on-year transaction values up 15.9% during the same period. Prices in this segment saw a temporary adjustment of 5.2% compared to the previous two weeks.

    “Importantly, year-on-year transaction values from the same period are up 15.9%, despite lower volumes, indicating demand for premium properties. This points to buyers continuing to transact, but at higher-values, which indicates sustained market confidence,” Sleiman explained.

    The commercial segment’s performance aligns with broader market dynamics. Off-plan apartment sales climbed 12.9% in March 2026, while the market continues to demonstrate what industry leaders describe as structural resilience amid geopolitical uncertainty.

    Dubai’s commercial real estate sector recorded an impressive 77.9% growth in sales value and 35.1% increase in transaction volume in 2025, with office sales more than doubling to Dh131.1 billion, the strongest performance in more than a decade according to Cavendish Maxwell.

    Property Finder noted that buyer inquiries have remained fairly stable in recent weeks, with only a slight dip as purchasers adopt a more measured approach rather than withdrawing from the market entirely. The data suggests that confidence in Dubai’s commercial property fundamentals remains intact, with investors continuing to commit capital at premium pricing levels despite the regional security situation.
