Dubai real estate is entering a new era of strategic growth
Wissam Breidy, CEO of HRE Development/Image: Supplied I was recently talking to friends in Beirut and had one of those conversations that stays with you. I was asked, 'Why is everyone talking about Dubai? Is it just hype or is there something more?' It's a fair question. Most people notice the headlines, the skyscrapers, the glamour. But they rarely see what lies beneath – the solid business fundamentals driving this momentum. As someone operating in the heart of this market every day, I'd like to offer some perspective for those on the outside looking in. Dubai is not just expanding; it's evolving with intent. In 2025, that story continues to unfold with purpose and precision. Every neighbourhood reflects ambition, innovation, and resilience. This is not hype – it's trust, earned during one of the world's biggest stress tests. After COVID, the UAE didn't recover – it reset the rules of growth While much of the world was locked in paralysis during the pandemic, the UAE acted – decisively rolling out mass testing, vaccinations, and policies to support business continuity. That wasn't just effective crisis management, it was proof of savvy execution – and it transformed how the world sees this place. The results speak for themselves. In just the first quarter of 2025, Dubai welcomed 89,695 new residents – an average of 1,000 people a day – bringing the population to 3.92 million by the end of March. This is the driving force behind one of the most alluring real estate markets on the planet. Dubai offers something rare: stability in a volatile world You can invest here without worrying about currency controls or political uncertainty. No income tax. No capital gains tax. That changes the investment math instantly. Rental yields average between 6 and 8 per cent net – and these returns are backed by real end-user demand. Families are settling here, not just passing through. Residential capital values rose 5 per cent quarter-on-quarter and 25.9 per cent year-on-year in Q1 2025, according to the ValuStrat Price Index. Apartments posted a 21.4 per cent annual gain, and villas jumped 30.3 per cent – figures that signal confidence, not just movement. Transaction volumes tell another story. Over Dhs70.8bn in real estate deals were recorded in the first half of 2025, with apartments accounting for nearly 78 per cent of sales. Average ticket sizes for both off-plan and ready homes reached Dhs2.7m, reflecting sustained investor appetite and a growing trend toward ownership. From velocity to value: a market maturing by design The market is shifting from velocity to value, focusing on long-term growth, smarter development cycles, and measured delivery. And crucially, this evolution is being guided with intent. The government's 2040 Urban Master Plan sets out a vision to double Dubai's population and create a more inclusive, sustainable urban landscape. That strategy informs how infrastructure, mobility, and housing are planned. Developers are responding. By the end of Q1, nearly 12,000 new units were handed over – representing 19 percent of the 61,580 homes expected for the year. Areas like JVC, Business Bay, and Dubai South are leading the charge. Read: Looking ahead, more than 170,000 units are currently under construction across the emirate, with completions expected through 2029. The mix – 70 per cent apartments and 30 per cent villas/townhouses – is aligned with demographic shifts and affordability needs. And affordability itself is evolving. Apartment rents rose 10 percent in Q1, and villa rents 5.1 per cent. The appetite for ownership is growing, especially among first-time buyers and young professionals. Developers are responding with more innovative, tech-integrated, and community-centric designs. Homes are becoming smarter, more flexible, and more human – not just priced to sell but built to live in.

On a scroll: MENA poets you can't ignore
The Middle East has always been a cradle of literary tradition, where poetry once spilled from café tables as freely as the coffee itself. While the scent of ink and old books may have faded from the air of tea houses and street-side bookstores, the spirit of the Arab poet is far from silent. Instead, it's found a new home: on Instagram grids, X threads, in online zines, and digital open mics. A new generation of poets from across the MENA region is reimagining what it means to write, publish, and be read. From Sudan to Palestine, Lebanon to Iraq, these voices are crafting verse rooted in heritage while transcending borders. We've put together a short list of unmissable MENA poetry talent that's sure to transport you, from the vast plains of Sudan to the jagged mountains of Lebanon, and everywhere in between. Born in Maryland to Sudanese immigrant parents, Safia Elhillo has carved out a poetic space online that's both intimate and expansive. Her Instagram is a curated homage to her heritage, featuring snapshots of her draped in vibrant thobes, long, flowing garments symbolic of her Sudanese roots, interspersed with verses that sting, soothe, and endure. Safia's poems speak to the ache of diaspora, to dreams of returning to a homeland untouched by war, and to the sacredness of friendships that stretch across oceans. Sharp yet tender, her work captures what it means to belong to many places at once. A tailor, a pharmacist, and a writer, Omar Hamad is proof that poetry runs deep in Palestinian soil. Based in Gaza, Omar writes with clarity and purpose, his words as sharp as they are sincere. Like the many Palestinian poets before him, he wields his pen (and in this case, keyboard) as a sword of both resistance and refuge. His verses bear witness to daily life under occupation while dreaming, always, of love, stability, and beauty. His work, often shared on X and Instagram, is a testament to survival and imagination in impossible conditions. Hissa Hilal Via Instagram @muslimwomenyoushouldknow In 2010, Hissa Hilal became the first woman to reach the finals of Million's Poet, a wildly popular Emirati reality poetry competition. Veiled from head to toe, save for a narrow slit for her eyes, Hilal shattered stereotypes with each verse, defying the Western media's lazy narratives about Arab women. Born to a conservative Bedouin family in Saudi Arabia, she began writing poetry at 11 and went on to publish in newspapers across the region. Her work, written in the traditional Nabati style, provocatively critiques religious extremism and calls for freedom of thought. While she remains offline in terms of social media, her poems continue to echo across the Arab world, and beyond. You can read her work here. If you are a regular reader of The New York Times or The Atlantic, you may have already encountered Zeina Hashem Beck. The Lebanese poet writes from the heart of the diaspora, wrapping her readers in verses about language, longing, ginger tea, and the small, sacred rituals that tether us to home. Deeply inspired by the tradition of the ghazal, a poetic form rooted in the traditions of Middle East and India, known for its rhythmic repetition and lyrical beauty, Zeina's work bridges Beirut and the West, grief, and celebration. Her poetry is bold yet, like the cup of ginger tea — familiar, healing and necessary. Exiled from Baghdad after facing censorship and harassment for her journalistic work, Dunya Mikhail has spent decades weaving exile into verse. Now based in the U.S., her poetry explores themes of loss, memory, and belonging, drawing from ancient Sumerian imagery to piece together a vision of Iraq (both mythical and modern). Fables and lyricism come together in Dunya's work to create a homeland stitched together by words, one that exists as much in imagination as it does in history. Her poetry reminds us that even in absence, there is presence. While the platforms may have changed, the Arab world's love affair with poetry remains as passionate as ever. These writers are not only preserving an ancient tradition, they're reinventing it for the digital age, one post at a time. Read more on poetry here.
