Dubai has entered the largest half-year cycle of new real-estate launches in its history. The value of new projects has exceeded AED 275 billion (about $74.9 billion) since the start of 2026, according to Economy Middle East and Fast Company Middle East.
In the first six months, developers launched 250 projects registered with the Dubai Land Department. Projects launched over the first five months comprised roughly 59,400 residential units and 10,800 villas — underlining that residential remains the engine of growth. For context, 2025 saw 648 projects from 258 developers worth around AED 463 billion.
