The UAE’s real estate market maintained strong momentum in March 2026, driven by a surge in project launches, steady construction activity, and record-breaking sales that reinforce the country’s position as a leading global investment destination.
Dubai led the activity with a wave of residential and commercial developments alongside notable transactions, including a luxury apartment sale valued at AED422 million, ranking among the most expensive in the emirate’s history. Developers continued to expand offerings across segments, with new launches in Emaar South, Barsha Heights, Dubailand, and Warsan, reflecting sustained demand and market diversity.
Large-scale developments also progressed, with plans unveiled for a landmark tower exceeding 600 metres in the Uptown district. Meanwhile, major developers reported steady construction timelines, with some projects advancing ahead of schedule and thousands of residential units nearing delivery across the city.
Across the sector, firms highlighted consistent sales performance and ongoing project execution. Weekly sales figures for some developers reached around AED500 million, underscoring strong buyer confidence and liquidity in the market.
In Abu Dhabi, real estate activity remained robust, supported by high-performing residential, retail, and mixed-use assets. New project launches, including luxury developments in Saadiyat Island and Reem Island, recorded strong investor interest, with one project generating approximately AED6 billion in sales within 72 hours.
Sharjah also reported significant growth, with real estate transactions reaching AED4.6 billion during Ramadan, marking a sharp increase in both value and volume.
The sustained pace of development across the UAE reflects a resilient market supported by stable regulations, strong demand, and continued investor confidence.
