Leading developers drove sales in both the premium and inexpensive divisions throughout 2025, according to new data revealed on Thursday that demonstrated the resilience of Dubai’s real estate industry.
Last year, sales of more than Dh15 million and less than Dh2 million both had high transaction volumes and values, indicating the general health of the market to sustain investor and end-user confidence.
According to a fête Properties report, Emaar maintained its position as the industry leader by generating more revenue from sales, delivering more projects and units, and starting more new projects than any other developer.
Emaar produced sales of Dh65.8 billion, followed by Damac Properties with Dh35.9 billion and Binghatti with Dh26.0 billion, according to data from DXBinteract.
In 2025, Emaar initiated 54 projects and completed 27 projects totaling 7,318 units, concluding the year with the highest number of homes under construction (51,032).
Binghatti, which rose four spots in the rankings to become the city’s top developer by overall sales volume with 17,061 deals completed ahead of Damac with 15,393 and Emaar with 13,149, had a spectacular year in Dubai real estate.
With sales of Dh16.9 billion from 672 luxury deals, Nakheel led the high-end market for residences valued at more than Dh15 million. Meraas came in second with Dh9.5 billion (289) and Emaar with Dh15.7 billion (680).
With sales of Dh16.2 billion from 14,627 transactions, Binghatti once again dominated the cheap market for properties under Dh2 million, followed by Damac with Dh8.4 billion from 6,828 transactions.
Firas Al Msaddi, CEO of fäm Properties, said: “The fact that both the luxury and affordable sectors are delivering robust values shows that demand is not concentrated in one area. This points to a healthy, diversified market with steady demand from both investors and end-users.”
