New Developments Continue<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Reposing trust in the real estate market, the Dubai-based Samana Developers announced its lateest development in the emerging Warsan 4 district, Samana Greenfield. The project introduces 304 residential units, six retail and commercial units to Dubai\u2019s bustling property market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Imran Farooq, CEO of Samana Developers, said Dubai\u2019s real estate market continues to demonstrate exceptional resilience and growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWith Samana Greenfield, we are tapping into a high-potential district that offers excellent connectivity and community infrastructure. Warsan is fast becoming a sought-after destination for families and professionals seeking value without compromising on lifestyle. This project reflects our commitment to delivering assets that provide both high quality of life for residents and strong, stable returns for investors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mahdi Amjad, Founder and Executive Chairman, Omniyat<\/p>\n\n\n\n Omniyat, another property developer which has a $11.7 billion gross value of development portfolio, said construction activity continues across all active sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mahdi Amjad, Founder and Executive Chairman, Omniyat, said the UAE leadership has a very strong resilience track record, absorbing the impacts of various regional or global situations, adapting the country\u2019s policy response and resetting for recovery and renewed growth and advancement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhilst the current situation may understandably introduce short term uncertainty, we are confident that the core fundamentals remain unchanged. We continue to be aligned and supportive of the national leadership. We continue to build.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Built for Resilience<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Farhad Azizi, Group CEO of Azizi Group, reposed full confidence in the UAE\u2019s real sector stability and said the country will emerge stronger despite the ongoing Middle East tension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAny conflict in the region is, above all, a human concern. Our thoughts are with everyone affected, and we hope for stability and peace. From a real estate perspective, the UAE has demonstrated repeatedly that its economic architecture is built for resilience. Dubai was built in one of the most geopolitically complex regions on earth, yet it has turned that geography into a global hub for trade, aviation, tourism and finance. Resilience here is not accidental \u2014 it is structural,\u201d Azizi told BTR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIn many parts of the world, crises expose weaknesses. In the UAE, they often reveal the strength of systems that were built quietly years in advance. The country has effectively developed a model where even crises are managed almost like infrastructure projects \u2014 planned for, stress-tested, and executed with speed. That is why recovery here is often measured in days, not months,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Farhad Azizi, Group CEO of Azizi Group<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOur construction activities continue uninterrupted, which speaks to the strength of the systems the UAE has put in place. The UAE\u2019s leadership treats stability as a national competitive advantage, investing heavily in infrastructure, security and rapid crisis response. Ultimately, resilience is not the absence of storms \u2014 it is the ability to absorb them and continue moving forward without hesitation,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rana Hariz, Executive Director of Palma Development, echoed the similar views and said Dubai has drawn interest from across the world despite the tensions in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhen broader geopolitical risks emerge, real estate is often one of the first sectors where you see a shift, not necessarily in fundamentals, but in how quickly people act. Some prospective buyers may hold off, wanting to see how things unfold before making a commitment,\u201d Hariz told BTR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dubai, however, she said carries real momentum into this environment. Record-breaking transaction activity and a widening pool of international participants point to a market with serious depth. Any cooling is far more likely to be a pause than a correction, particularly for a city that has steadily attracted investment precisely when other regions feel uncertain.\u201cThat history speaks for itself. During previous periods of instability, Dubai has drawn interest from across the world, and we see no reason this cycle will be different.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rana Hariz, Executive Director of Palma Development<\/p>\n\n\n\n Strong Demand Persists<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Hariz said there is nothing in the current data to suggest any broad pullback from Dubai’s property market. The city continues to attract buyers through its stable regulatory framework, tax advantages, residency visa programmes, and global connectivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cRental yields averaging 5\u20138%, which are well above those of most major cities, add another layer of appeal for international investors. The breadth of the buyer base, spanning Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and beyond, also provides a natural buffer against regional uncertainty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAt Palma specifically, we have not felt any meaningful impact. Our model of focusing on one project at a time gives us tight control over financial exposure and operational risk, which, in an environment like this, is exactly the kind of discipline that reassures our partners.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Azizi also dispelled the perception that real estate market will be affected due to the geopolitical crises in the region and said there is a strong demand for the residential units in Dubai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cFrom what we see on the ground, demand for property in Dubai remains strong and our sales activity continues to move ahead robustly. The UAE has built an investment environment that has consistently maintained confidence even during periods of global disruption,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe saw this during Covid-19 and again during the record floods of April 2024, when Dubai received in roughly three days about the amount of rainfall London typically gets in six months. Yet the city stabilised quickly and business activity resumed with remarkable speed,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Much of the outside world sees headlines; those living here see a country where institutions, infrastructure and leadership respond quickly and decisively, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cInterestingly, what we are seeing from many buyers is not withdrawal but patience. Some investors are hoping that moments of uncertainty may create temporary price opportunities so they can enter the market. That in itself reflects continued confidence in Dubai \u2014 because those buyers clearly believe in the long-term trajectory of the UAE and expect prices to resume their upward momentum once stability returns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThis is not the first time the world has watched Dubai expecting it to struggle \u2014 during Covid, historic floods, and now amid geopolitical tensions. Each time the outcome has been the same: it didn\u2019t. The fact that millions of expatriates choose to stay here even during moments of uncertainty says more about confidence in the UAE than any statistic ever could. At Azizi, our projects remain fully on track and we continue to see strong interest from buyers and investors alike.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The UAE has consistently demonstrated that it recovers quickly from disruptions, largely because resilience is designed into the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Like any global market, Azizi said real estate can react to geopolitical developments. In periods of uncertainty, luxury purchases or speculative commercial investments may occasionally see a brief pause as investors reassess timing. However, Dubai\u2019s market today is fundamentally different from earlier cycles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThrough careful regulation and planning, the sector has developed genuine end-user demand supported by a strong legal framework that prioritises investor protection.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n He said Dubai\u2019s private sector remains a vital pillar of the national economy, and developers like Azizi continue to deliver across all segments with the same discipline and long-term commitment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAnd if you look around the city, the most telling indicator is often the simplest one: the real test of a nation is the morning after. In Dubai, the morning still looks the same \u2014 coffee shops open, families out, and life continuing with calm confidence.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n If tensions were to affect the property market, Hariz of Palma Development said commercial and office space would likely be the first to slow down. During uncertain periods, companies tend to delay decisions around new leases, office relocations, and expansion plans. However, Dubai’s office sector is currently operating at around 95% occupancy, leaving very limited supply available. That gives it a strong foundation, even if new demand softens temporarily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe luxury residential segment has proven far more resilient. Ultra-high-net-worth buyers view prime real estate as a long-term asset, and the city has established itself as one of the most attractive destinations in the world for this type of investment. Transactions exceeding Dh400 million in recent months are clear evidence of continued confidence at the top end,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBranded residences and lifestyle-focused projects, the space Palma operates in, have been among the strongest performers. Purchasers in this category are motivated by quality, location, and enduring value, making them less sensitive to short-term geopolitical shifts,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Built-in Resilence<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Azizi said the UAE has consistently demonstrated that it recovers quickly from disruptions, largely because resilience is designed into the system. Strong coordination between government entities and the private sector ensures that challenges are addressed swiftly and confidence is restored efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDubai has built a governance model where preparedness, infrastructure investment, and rapid crisis response allow the economy to stabilise faster than many global markets. That has been the pattern repeatedly, and there is little reason to believe it will be different this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOur role as a developer is straightforward: we continue building, delivering projects, and honoring commitments to investors. Progress on the ground remains the strongest reassurance for the market.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n At the same time, he said responsibility also begins with compliance. Residents and businesses should follow official guidance, respect safety advisories, and rely on verified information so that authorities can manage situations swiftly and effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe UAE\u2019s strengths are structural rather than circumstantial \u2014 and that is why the city continues moving forward even in moments of global uncertainty,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hariz said Dubai’s real estate sector has historically demonstrated strong resilience amid global and regional disruptions, supported by a diversified economy and a broad international investor base. The UAE government continues to play an active role in safeguarding stability and maintaining a secure, transparent environment for capital deployment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe fundamentals driving demand remain firmly in place: population growth, international migration, tourism expansion, and ongoing economic diversification all sustain long-term appetite for both residential and commercial property. The Dubai Real Estate Strategy 2033, which targets Dh1 trillion in transaction value, reflects the scale of ambition and institutional commitment behind the sector,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For developers, she said this is a time to lead by example. Transparent communication, uninterrupted construction progress, disciplined pricing, and a focus on high-quality projects in prime locations are the clearest ways to reinforce confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAt Palma, we remain fully operational. Our delivery timelines are proceeding without disruption, and the discipline of concentrating on a single project at a time allows us to hold full financial control while offering our partners the certainty they expect, regardless of external conditions. We believe the UAE will emerge from this period stronger, and we intend to be part of that story.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Why Is Demand UP<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A lisfestyle destination<\/p>\n\n\n\n Population growth<\/p>\n\n\n\n International migration<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tourism expansion<\/p>\n\n\n\n Economic diversification<\/p>\n\n\n\n Source: Khaleej Times<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Published: 31 March<\/strong> 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A recent survey further reflects market conviction: 85% of Dubai landlords have no plans to divest, signalling unwavering belief in the emirate\u2019s long-term trajectory.
