Many UAE developers are using the current situation to speed up construction and delivery of projects – especially those sold out. This has been the case of most developers since the break out of the regional conflicts on February 28, 2026.

As a result, Dubai witnessed the handover of 44,000 homes between January 1 and mid-2026. On paper, developers have slated anywhere from 90,000 to over 120,000 units for completion during the full year.

Despite regional situation, the UAE property market experienced a record-breaking first quarter in 2026, registering a total transaction value of Dh252 billion — a 31 percent year-on-year increase. Off-plan sales continued to dominate activity, while the market transitioned toward a mature, absorption-led phase.

Emaar Properties, developer of the world’s tallest tower Burj Khalifa, today announced a large master-planned mixed-use community with a gross floor area of 4.5 million square metres and a total development value exceeding Dh200 billion that will see the development of residential towers, villas, mansions, retail facilities, hospitality, Grade A commercial spaces and civic and cultural amenities that nourish the spirit and enrich the human experience. It is designed to accommodate more than 150,000 people.
