  • Dubai Off-Plan Luxury Apartment Sells for Dh166 Million

    Dubai Off-Plan Luxury Apartment Sells for Dh166 Million

    The 10,021.39-square-foot apartment achieved an average price exceeding Dh16,572 per square foot, according to data from the Dubai Land Department’s Dubai REST application released on July 22, 2026.

    The transaction highlights continued buyer appetite for branded residential developments in established locations, even as Dubai’s broader residential market stabilizes following years of rapid growth.

    Dubai’s ultra-luxury segment, comprising properties valued above Dh36.7 million (approximately $10 million), recorded 269 transactions worth Dh16.57 billion during the first six months of 2026, representing year-on-year increases of 11.2 percent in transaction volumes and 11.5 percent in total value compared with the same period in 2025.

    While villas continued to lead growth in both transaction volumes and values during the first half of 2026, luxury apartments maintained strong pricing in premium addresses and branded residential developments, reflecting the market’s divergence within the ultra-prime segment.

    The emirate’s luxury property market posted robust annual growth in 2025, recording 6,668 luxury property sales worth approximately Dh143.8 billion, up from 4,735 transactions valued at Dh99.3 billion in 2024—representing annual growth of 41 percent in transaction volumes and 45 percent in total value.

    On July 22, Dubai recorded Dh2.05 billion in total real estate transactions across 803 deals, including property sales exceeding Dh1.44 billion through 611 transactions, according to Dubai REST data.

    Off-plan sales reached Dh857.41 million through 431 transactions, including 405 residential units and 26 building sales, highlighting the continued strength of Dubai’s development pipeline and investor appetite for new projects despite growing calls for market transparency.

    Ready property sales totalled Dh587.06 million across 180 transactions, comprising 134 residential units, 18 buildings and 28 land plots.

    The Aman Residences Dubai sale reflects a broader pattern of high-value transactions in branded developments, where global hospitality operators and luxury brands continue to attract buyers seeking premium addresses and full-service amenities in the emirate’s most established neighborhoods.

  • Dubai World Islands Villa Sells for Dh220 Million

    Dubai World Islands Villa Sells for Dh220 Million

    Dubai’s property market recorded a significant transaction on Thursday with the sale of a luxury villa on the World Islands for Dh220 million, highlighting strong momentum in the emirate’s ultra-prime real estate sector.

    According to data from the Dubai REST application, operated by the Dubai Land Department, the villa spans approximately 58,080 square feet, equivalent to about 5,395 square metres. The transaction reflects an average price of Dh3,787 per square foot.

    The property is located on Amali Island, one of the high-end residential projects within the World Islands development, which continues to attract growing interest from international investors and wealthy buyers seeking exclusive waterfront properties in Dubai.

    Dubai’s luxury real estate market recorded unprecedented activity during 2025, supported by rising demand from high-net-worth individuals from around the world who continue to choose the emirate for its attractive investment climate, favourable regulatory framework and competitive tax environment.

    Data show that Dubai recorded 6,668 luxury property transactions last year with a combined value of about Dh143.8 billion. This compares with 4,735 deals worth Dh99.3 billion in 2024, representing a 41% increase in the number of transactions and a 45% rise in total value.

    The Dh220 million villa sale comes as the emirate continues to process high-value transactions across multiple segments. Earlier this month, Dubai recorded a Dh422 million apartment sale at Aman Residences, marking the third most expensive apartment transaction in the emirate’s history.

    The World Islands transaction reflects broader market confidence despite regional tensions, with the emirate’s fundamentals—including stable leadership, long-term planning, and a regulated investment environment—continuing to support investor sentiment in the ultra-prime segment.

    The continued demand for exclusive waterfront properties on developments such as the World Islands underscores Dubai’s position as a leading destination for global wealth, with the emirate’s luxury market showing resilience and sustained momentum into 2026.
