Dubai Land Department Records Over 4,000 New Real Estate Activities In H1 2025 Reflecting Market Growth

Dubai's real estate sector saw 4,049 new activities in the first half of this year. This growth highlights Dubai's status as a prime investment hub, offering diverse opportunities for investors and service providers. An advanced regulatory framework supports this expansion, ensuring smooth operations and market transparency.

The Dubai Land Department's 'Trakheesi System' is crucial for registering and activating various real estate activities.

Pre-approval from the Trakheesi System is also necessary for certain activities like real estate development and leasing services for both private and third-party properties. This requirement extends to real estate service trustees and promotion trustees, ensuring comprehensive oversight across the sector.

Real estate brokerage services for property sales were the most recorded activity, with 2,301 instances. Leasing brokerage followed with 1,279 activities. These figures demonstrate the growing network of brokers who play a vital role in catering to tenants and property owners alike.

Other registered activities included land and property trading (273), property management supervision (43), mortgage brokerage (43), real estate consultancy (40), leasing and management services for private properties (24) and third parties (nine), property valuation (14), jointly owned property management (nine), real estate development (11), and mortgage advisory services (three).
