Dubai real estate growth
The emirate’s population has crossed 4 million, adding pressure and opportunity across all property segments. This growth aligns with long-term government strategies, including the Economic Agenda D33 and the Urban Master Plan 2040, both of which aim to ensure sustainable expansion and global competitiveness.
The emirate continues to attract significant wealth, with 9,800 new millionaires expected in 2025 alone. Ultra-luxury developments, including those in Downtown and on the emerging “Billionaire Island,” reflect the demand for high-end residences.
The city now ranks among the busiest global markets for transactions valued above $10m.
