Dubai completed 104 real estate projects worth more than AED111 billion in the first half of 2026, according to Dubai Land Department data.
The number of completed projects rose 38.7 percent from 75 in the same period last year, while their combined investment value increased 52 percent from AED73 billion.
New real estate units increased 36 percent to 24,537 from 18,043 a year earlier. The completed and ready-for-handover built-up area rose 23.4 percent to 1.95 million square metres.
The value of land allocated to completed projects surged more than 135 percent to AED19.46 billion from AED8.27 billion. The total land area allocated to completed projects more than doubled to about one million square metres from 484,000 square metres.
The figures reflect increased liquidity and capital inflows into Dubai’s real estate market, alongside stronger project launches and development activity.
Dubai Crown Prince Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum said the performance reflected investor confidence in Dubai’s economic environment and supported the objectives of the Dubai Economic Agenda D33.
He said the emirate’s infrastructure, legislative framework, transparency and private-sector partnerships were strengthening its ability to attract global capital and support sustainable growth.
