Several key investment sectors are estimated to see robust growth, such as —
1.Luxury Properties in Prime Locations
In 2024, luxury property transactions rose by 62%. At present, the average price per square foot is approximately AED 3,200 in prime locations like Downtown Dubai and Palm Jumeirah. Ultra-high-net-worth individuals and foreign investors remain top investors in Dubai’s luxury real estate market.
2.Short-Term Rental Market
In 2023, the average occupancy rate for short-term rental properties in Dubai peaked at 77%; it is expected to exceed 75% in 2025. Investors with an eye on steady rental income from short-term leasing of properties should invest in areas that draw a heavy footfall from tourists, like JBR, Dubai Marina, and Downtown Dubai.
3.Commercial Real Estate
In 2025, commercial real estate prices are estimated to grow by 4-6%. Strategic location and top-notch infrastructure make certain neighborhoods (like DIFC and Dubai Silicon Oasis) figure high on the list of potential investors.
