Dubai’s real estate market continues its record-breaking momentum, with sales reaching AED431bn ($117.3bn) across more than 125,000 transactions so far this year.
The sector posted 25 per cent growth in transaction value compared to the same period in 2024, reflecting sustained investor confidence and robust demand across all segments.
Against this backdrop, property consultancy Whitewill has highlighted five freehold projects that blend location, lifestyle, and long-term value, each representing distinct opportunities for investors.

Prices start from AED3.5m ($953,000) and reach AED25m ($6.8m) for four-bedroom sky residences, with projected yields of 6–8 per cent and handover set for 2030.
Integrated with Emirates Towers Hotel, the project promises 35–50 per cent capital appreciation potential in Dubai’s financial district.

Dubai real estate supply

Supported by transparent policies and infrastructure momentum, the city offers investors a powerful mix of stability, lifestyle, and long-term growth.
