Category | Off-Plan (AED m) | Ready (AED m) |
|---|---|---|
Flats | 1,265.8 | 599.7 |

Hotel Apt. & Rooms | 7.0 | 46.2 |

Off-Plan Market Performance

Villas: AED 233.2 million – 15.4%
Hotel Apartments & Rooms: AED 7.0 million – 0.5%

Total Ready: AED 862.4 million
Flats: AED 599.7 million – 69.5% of ready volume
Villas: AED 153.5 million – 17.8%
Hotel Apartments & Rooms: AED 46.2 million – 5.4%

On The Micro Level
Market Insights
Dubai’s market remains driven by off-plan launches, with flats leading both segments. The strong off-plan share (nearly two-thirds of total value) underscores developers’ ability to attract pre-completion capital. Villa demand, while smaller, continues steadily. Lower commercial and hospitality volumes point to selective investor focus. Looking ahead, sustained demand for flats and high-end villas, alongside upcoming project handovers, should support steady growth. As supply pipelines mature, we expect a balanced market that rewards targeted developments and keeps price growth on a sustainable trajectory.
