Due to the high demand for residential and commercial developments in the emirate, real estate developers are continuing to wager on a new boom cycle, as seen by the rate of land sales in Dubai. Over the first seven months of 2026, land purchase-related investments totaled Dhs125 billion across 7,981 sales transactions, demonstrating that businesses kept growing their inventory of development sites. Land sales made up about 8% of the 99,900 sales transactions that were completed during that time, according to data from the Dubai Land Department.
These transactions made about 39% of the Dhs321 billion total value of real estate sales, which included homes, villas, buildings, and land parcels. This discrepancy demonstrated the land sector’s substantial financial weight in relation to the volume of transactions, underscoring its function as the main catalyst for upcoming initiatives. As developers looked to acquire crucial locations to build new projects during the following phase, the market activity averaged over 1,140 land sales transactions each month, with a value of about Dhs17.8 billion, demonstrating the ongoing investment momentum in the primary market.
Me’aisem 2 ranked first with Dhs10.4 billion from 544 land sales transactions, followed by Al Yalayis 5 in second place with Dhs7.14 billion from 907 transactions and Al Ruwayyah 1 in third place with Dhs6.3 billion from three significant transactions. With Dhs5.7 billion from 140 transactions, Palm Jebel Ali ranked fourth; Umm Suqeim I ranked fifth with Dhs4.6 billion from 30 transactions; and Al Yalayis 1 ranked sixth with Dhs4 billion from 177 transactions.
