24 real estate projects worth AED4.5 billion completed in H1 2025. Rents for studios, 1BHKs rise after crackdown on illegal partitions. Tomorrow World launches new commercial tower in Dubai Tomorrow World Properties will launch Tomorrow Commercial Tower, an all-glass, smart-enabled office building 400 m from International City 1 Metro. With high-speed lifts, private office amenities and a five-star lobby, the tower will host Tomorrow World Group’s global HQ and cater to SMEs and multinationals. Dubai: Rents for studios, 1BHKs rise after crackdown on illegal partitions Dubai’s crackdown on illegally partitioned homes has boosted demand for legal studios and one-bed flats, lifting their rents while leaving larger units in mild oversupply. Many displaced tenants move to Dubai’s outskirts and Sharjah, where Al Nahda rents have jumped 10–20 %. The enforcement is enhancing market transparency. Developers optimistic as Saudi opens property to foreigners Estate agents and developers in Saudi Arabia are preparing for changes to property law that will allow foreigners to buy houses in the kingdom. UAE or India: Where should NRIs buy property in 2025? NRIs weigh UAE vs. India property: UAE gives 5-11 % tax-free yields, 5 % loans, no property or capital-gains tax, and high liquidity—producing immediate positive cash flow. Indian metros offer 2-4 % yields, higher loan rates and taxes but still promise longer-term appreciation and emotional value. Shamal Holding, Cheval Blanc announce region’s first maison in Dubai Shamal Holding will partner with LVMH’s Cheval Blanc to open Dubai’s first Cheval Blanc maison in 2029: a private island retreat with 30 suites, 40 pool villas and select beachfront residences.

Apartments and commercial units led gains; average prices hit Dh1,649 / sq ft (+9.5 %). Developer launches drove 71 % of sales. Dubai real estate deals hit regulatory hurdle! Indian buyers who bought homes using international credit cards in a soup; here’s why Indian buyers who used international credit cards to pay for Dubai properties face regulatory trouble: RBI restricts capital transactions via ICCs, requiring remittance through the Liberalised Remittance Scheme. They must cancel card payments, remit funds correctly, or risk fines, compounding, or forced property sales. Dubai Land Department: 24 real estate projects worth AED4.5 billion completed in H1 2025 H1 2025 highlights Dubai’s real-estate strength: 24 projects completed (AED 4.5 bn) with 726 underway, 90,337 new units registered, 75,347 sold for AED 151 bn, plus 465,738 leases worth AED 42 bn—underscoring resilient demand and effective DLD regulation.

Union Properties’ H1 2025 gross profit soared 44% to AED75.6 m. Tight supply, rising demand push occupancy rates to record highs in Q2 2025. Dubai developer Union Properties to repay Dh130m bank debt in Q3-2025 Union Properties’ H1 2025 gross profit soared 44% to AED75.6 m, but net profit slipped to AED14.5 m after heavy early-stage development spending. It repaid AED20 m of a planned AED150 m debt, with the balance due Q3, and agreed a AED700 m Motor City asset sale for Q4. Why Dubai’s off-plan real estate market is gaining global investor attention Dubai’s off-plan property market is luring global investors with below-market prices, flexible payment plans, strong capital growth and rental yields, full foreign ownership, tax-free returns and Golden Visas. Added appeal comes from mega sustainable developments, robust regulation, digital purchasing ease and Dubai’s strategic hub status.

Pantheon Development unveils VOXA Pantheon Development launches VOXA in Jumeirah Village Triangle, offering rare freehold commercial offices (723–1,290 sq ft) within a mixed-use tower. Situated on Al Khail Road, the project provides high connectivity and 24+ lifestyle amenities, blending flexible, design-led workspaces with community and productivity. Abu Dhabi office market: Tight supply, rising demand push occupancy rates to record highs in Q2 2025 Grade-A office demand in Abu Dhabi surged in Q2 2025: CBD rents leapt 42% YoY, ADGM offices fetch AED 2,800-3,500 / sq m, and occupancies sit near full. Supply stays tight, only 100,000 sq m due in 2025 and another 100,000 sq m by 2027, so further rent gains are likely. H1 real-estate transactions rose 39% to AED 51.7 bn. Real estate transactions at $435mln in central, eastern Sharjah Sharjah’s Central and Eastern Regions logged AED 1.6 bn in real-estate transactions during H1 2025, a 143 % YoY jump across 12,346 deals spanning 22 m sq ft.

As Evergrande faces delisting, China property debt revamp drags on Evergrande faces Hong Kong delisting after liquidation order and failed $23 bn debt revamp, underscoring China’s deep property slump. With >70 % of sector’s offshore bonds in default and home prices still falling, peers like Country Garden struggle to secure creditor approval amid scarce funding and looming restructurings.

Dubai Commercial Real Estate Surges as Office Sales Jump 93% in Q2 2025

By Kiana Jehangir Dubai’s commercial property sector continues to show remarkable growth, with the office segment leading the charge in the second quarter of 2025. The city’s evolving business landscape, combined with a steady influx of foreign investment and strong demand for high-quality commercial spaces, has propelled the market to new heights. Market Performance: A Record Quarter for Office Sales Dubai’s commercial property market recorded AED 31 billion ($8.44 billion) in transactions during Q2 2025—a 50% year-on-year increase compared to Q2 2024. This impressive growth reflects heightened investor confidence, fueled by premium off-plan developments and expanding opportunities in the office and industrial sectors. The office segment stood out as a top performer, achieving a 93% jump in sales value, totaling AED 2.62 billion. Transaction volume also grew significantly, with 965 office units sold, marking a 26% increase from the same period last year. This momentum highlights a shift in demand towards ownership over leasing, driven by: Hotspots for Office Investment While Business Bay and Jumeirah Lake Towers (JLT) continue to dominate sales activity, emerging zones like Motor City, Barsha Heights, and Majan are gaining traction. These decentralized locations are attracting buyers with flexible layouts, competitive pricing, and proximity to new residential hubs, creating fresh opportunities outside the city’s traditional commercial centers. Off-Plan Commercial Deals on the Rise A notable trend in Q2 is the surge in off-plan office sales, reflecting Dubai’s push towards state-of-the-art workspacesdesigned for tomorrow’s businesses. Developers like Omniyat are setting new benchmarks with projects such as Lumena Tower in Business Bay, offering cutting-edge design, sustainable infrastructure, and advanced amenities to meet evolving corporate needs. With 680,000 sqm of new office space expected to be delivered by 2027, off-plan investment continues to gain popularity, allowing buyers to secure premium locations before completion. Price Growth Outpaces Expectations Secondary office sales have experienced a sharp 22% increase year-on-year, reaching an average of AED 1,724 per square foot. This marks a strong recovery from the market’s 2020 low of AED 761 per sq. ft., highlighting renewed demand for established office spaces despite limited supply. Warehouse assets also saw remarkable growth, with average sale prices hitting AED 22.2 million, up 107% from last year, driven by high demand from logistics, manufacturing, and e-commerce operators seeking scalable, strategically located facilities. Leasing Market Gains Momentum Leasing activity mirrored the sales boom, with a 30% quarter-on-quarter increase in deals across offices, retail, and warehouse sectors. Average leasing prices rose significantly, particularly for larger, fitted, and prime office units, as businesses upgraded their premises to match evolving workplace needs. This uptick underscores Dubai’s position as a regional business hub, attracting both global corporations and fast-growing local enterprises. Outlook: A New Era for Commercial Real Estate With strong investor sentiment, sustained demand for Grade A offices, and substantial new supply set to enter the market by 2027, Dubai’s commercial property sector is poised for continued growth. The combination of rising prices, increased off-plan activity, and expanding leasing demand makes Q3 and beyond a promising period for investors seeking opportunities in Dubai’s thriving office market.
