Background
The UAE real estate market is experiencing a high season with the introduction of major projects in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah by major developers. With the housing business still booming, there are already several new releases that are getting the eyes of the buyers way before the end of the last quarter of 2025.
Nakheel has launched additional villas in the second man-made Palm island in Dubai, known as Palm Jebel Ali. The five- and six-bedroom villas are priced from Dh28 million, aimed at luxury buyers. The developer has been rolling out homes and plots in phases to match rising demand. A private company has also stepped in with its first project on the island, showing wider market interest.
Aldar has launched the Fahid Island Beach Terraces in Abu Dhabi. The project will begin at Dh3.6 million and will be appealing to first-time investors. Earlier phases of Fahid Island homes had received strong interest, and the new release is expected to perform in the same way.
In Dubai’s Jebel Ali, Wasl’s South Garden project has proven an instant hit. The second phase, which included buildings D and E, sold out quickly. Prices started from Dh630,000 for studios, rising to Dh1.42 million for two-bedroom apartments and Dh2.44 million for three-bedroom homes.
Meanwhile, in Sharjah, Arada has extended its Masaar community in Masaar 3. The “forested” project has already welcomed residents in earlier phases. The new launch offers two-bedroom townhouses starting at Dh1.79 million, three-bedroom homes from Dh2.29 million, and five-bedroom versions from Dh5.59 million.
These projects underscore the strengthening of the UAE property market. The developers are striking a balance between luxury villas in the high-end and mid-range apartments and townhouses, attracting both strong and weak investors as well as first-time buyers. The last months of 2025 will likely bring even greater activity with the already good sales.
