The real estate market in Dubai is once again showing strong momentum. Property demand remains high, and developers are continuing to launch new projects across the city.
Dubai’s property market is still growing fast in 2026. New data from Azizi Developments shows strong demand from buyers and investors. The developer says property sales can reach $100 million in a single day.
At the same time, Azizi Developments plans to raise up to $1 billion through sukuk to support future projects.
This indicates that the Dubai real estate market remains active and strong.
Regional Tensions Test Dubai’s Property Market
The strong sales come at a time when the region is facing geopolitical tensions. In recent weeks, the Iran conflict has reached the United Arab Emirates, with missile and drone attacks reported across parts of the country. Debris from intercepted missiles caused minor damage in parts of Dubai, raising concerns among residents and investors.
Despite the situation, property activity in Dubai has not stopped. Developers say that investor demand remains steady and construction projects continue as planned.
In a recent interview with Khaleej Times, Farhad Aziz, CEO of Azizi Developments, said that the
“We have almost 200 buildings under construction, and another 120-130 are in the design stage. All of those projects are progressing as planned, and demand is strong. We're not building homes for ourselves. We expect the demand to continue. There are cycles in any industry in any mature market. Now, we're at the peak, and it will continue to be so.”
Azizi explained that Dubai has faced challenges before, including the 2008 financial crisis, COVID-19, and severe flooding in 2024. However, the city has always recovered quickly. He described the current geopolitical situation as a temporary challenge, saying Dubai’s property market has shown strong resilience in the past and is expected to do the same again.
For many investors, this resilience is a key reason Dubai remains a leading global real estate hub.
$100 Million in Property Sales Every Day
According to Farhad Azizi, the market is working normally even during global and regional tensions. Buyers continue to purchase homes and investment properties across the city.
The developer reports show sales reaching up to $100 million a day, says Azizi CEO, and are being signed. This shows strong confidence from both local and foreign investors.
The company also ran a Ramadan sales campaign. On the first day, the developer recorded Dh372 million in sales. After that, daily sales stayed between Dh180 million and Dh190 million.
This level of demand shows that many people still see Dubai as a safe and profitable place to invest in property.
Hundreds of New Buildings Under Development
The developer already has a large pipeline of projects in the city.
Today, the company has around 200 buildings under construction. At the same time, 120 to 130 new projects are in the design stage.
This means many new homes and investment units will enter the market in the coming years.
Dubai continues to attract buyers due to its strong infrastructure, modern lifestyle, and stable regulatory environment.
Azizi Plans $1 Billion Sukuk to Fund Future Projects
While sales remain strong, the company is also planning to raise additional funding.
Azizi Developments wants to raise between $500 million and $1 billion through sukuk by late 2026.
A sukuk works like a bond but adheres to Islamic finance principles.
The funds will support new real estate projects and potential acquisitions in Dubai. The final amount will depend on how many projects the company decides to launch.
This strategy helps the company expand while keeping financial flexibility.
Major Hotel Expansion Plan By Azizi
Azizi is also expanding in the hospitality sector. The developer plans to build 151 hotels across the UAE in the coming years.
Most of these hotels will be located in the United Arab Emirates, especially in Dubai.
The plan includes:
- 100 four-star hotels
- 50 five-star hotels
- One seven-star luxury hotel
Together, these projects could add around 60,000 new hotel rooms to the country’s tourism sector.
The expansion could also create more than 75,000 jobs, helping support tourism and service industries.
Dubai Real Estate Growth Continues
Dubai remains one of the world’s most active real estate markets. Strong demand, investor confidence, and new development projects continue to drive growth.
With daily sales reaching $100 million and a potential $1 billion sukuk plan, Azizi Developments is preparing for the next phase of expansion.
For investors, the message is simple: Dubai property demand is still strong, and the market continues to move forward.
Despite regional tensions, the real estate sector in Dubai remains active and resilient.
Strong investor demand, large development pipelines, and new financing plans show that the city’s property market continues to move forward.
