Dubai’s property sector maintained strong performance in the first half of 2025, with 24 real estate projects worth AED 4.5 billion completed, according to the Dubai Land Department (DLD).
The data underscores the emirate’s sustained growth trajectory and increasing demand across residential segments.
The momentum is further reflected in 726 projects currently under construction, alongside 90,337 new real estate units registered during the period. The market saw continued investor confidence, with 75,347 property sales valued at AED 151 billion. Villas led this trend, with over 7,000 units sold for more than AED 28 billion, signaling a growing preference for standalone homes and integrated communities.
The rental market also remained steady, with 465,738 lease contracts recorded — a slight year-on-year increase. Notably, the value of lease contracts rose 5% to AED 42 billion, while new lease agreements grew by 7%, reaching 232,928.
These figures affirm Dubai’s resilience and appeal as a top-tier real estate destination. DLD’s regulatory frameworks, digital transformation, and investor-friendly environment continue to support the emirate’s real estate ambitions under the Dubai Real Estate Strategy 2033, positioning it as the world’s best city for real estate investment and quality of life.
