The overall project is slated for completion in the second quarter of 2026.

Dubai’s heightened real estate activity is in line with GlobalData’s forecast, which expects the construction industry’s output to expand by 4.6% in real terms in 2024, supported by improved investments in transport, industrial and residential construction projects. Private sector investments in the real estate sector will also support the industry’s growth in 2024.
The residential sector is expected to expand by 4.5% in real terms in 2024, before recording an annual average growth of 2.6% in 2025-28, supported by private investments in the residential housing sector, along with government initiatives to meet rising housing demand.
