The real estate market in the United Arab Emirates continues to show resilience and long-term stability despite global economic challenges, while new projects worth around USD 54 billion are being prepared in Dubai, said Mohamed Alabbar, founder of Emaar Properties, during the UAE Media Forum.
Speaking on the panel “UAE: A Safe Haven and an Investment That Does Not Lose Value,” Alabbar emphasized that the success of the Emirates is the result of more than half a century of consistent development, institutional stability and strategic planning.
“The UAE has proven its strength through all challenges and crises over the past 50 years,” Alabbar said, stressing that the country’s stability is not accidental, but rather a foundation of its state and economic system.
According to him, Dubai’s real estate market is entering a new phase of development, and it is expected to reach a balance between supply and demand by 2027.
He believes that market cycles are a natural part of development and that sustainable growth provides a healthier basis for long-term investment than rapid and uncontrolled price growth. He particularly highlighted an investment strategy based on taking action during times of crisis.
Around USD 1.36 billion, or AED 5 billion, has been allocated for projects that have faced financial difficulties, while the daily value of real estate sales ranges between USD 41 million and USD 136 million, or AED 150 million to AED 500 million, even during periods of increased market uncertainty.
“We do not wait for crises to end before making decisions. By the time markets stabilize, others have already completed most of the work,” Alabbar said, according to Biznis CG.
One of the most striking figures relates to the volume of future investments.
New projects with a total value of approximately USD 54 billion, or AED 200 billion, are in preparation, confirming that Dubai continues its strong development cycle. At the same time, 90 projects have been completed, although 60 were originally planned.
Analysts believe that these indicators further strengthen the UAE’s position as one of the world’s most attractive centers for real estate investment. The combination of political stability, developed infrastructure, tax benefits and a long-term development vision continues to attract investors from around the world.
At a time of global economic uncertainty, the UAE is increasingly confirming its status as a safe investment haven and one of the leading real estate markets on the international stage.
