Dubai’s real estate sector has continued to announce new projects since the beginning of 2026, despite the regional and geopolitical concerns that have plagued the region since the end of February. According to figures from the Dubai Land Department (DLD), up to 250 new real estate projects were launched in the emirate, equating to 50 projects each month and an average of roughly two per day.
The new projects cost Dhs75 billion, and comprised the construction of 59,400 housing units and 10,800 villas, as well as the development of 32 new plots of land. According to DLD data, the largest project costs more than Dhs6.5 billion and is one of 15 major projects valued at more over Dhs1 billion each. There are 30 projects with a value between Dhs999,000 and Dhs500 million, 97 with a value between Dhs499,000 and Dhs100 million, and 108 with a value less than Dhs100 million each.
According to the data, 179 active projects have been begun, with 70 pending approval and another awaiting final permission. The Verdes by Haven 2 project in Wadi Al Safa 5 was the most expensive project, costing around Dhs6.5 billion, followed by the Interstellar Tower project in Al Barsha South Fifth, which cost Dhs2.3 billion, and the Mayfair Nexus by Seven Mayfair project in Wadi Al Safa 7, which cost Dhs1.5 billion.
