Object 1 reports 220% sales value growth in Q1 2025 as Dubai real estate continues upward momentum
Object 1 has announced a robust start to the year, with sales value surging by 220% and sales volume increasing by 140% in Q1 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, according to Dubai Land Department (DLD) data, including resales. The company strengthened its position as a key player in the Jumeirah Village Triangle (JVT) and Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC) districts, while also expanding its presence to Jumeirah Garden City, where it secured the second position by number of initial sales. These results reflect Object 1's growing focus on premium residential developments that combine smart living features, sustainable design, and high-end amenities tailored to discerning buyers.
This momentum comes amid a thriving Dubai real estate market, which recorded a total transaction value of AED 142.7 billion in Q1 2025. Object 1's active pipeline includes 13 projects currently on sale, with a further 9 in design and development across key areas such as JVC, JVT, Dubai Land Residence Complex, Al Furjan, Jumeirah Garden City, and Dubai Sports City. Notably, EVERGR1N HOUSE — a sustainable, biophilic residential concept — sold out within a month, prompting the launch of its sequel, EVERGR1N 2.
'Our exceptional Q1 results are a clear reflection of the market's trust in Object 1 and our commitment to delivering high-quality, future-ready homes,' said Tatiana Tonu, CEO of Object 1. 'The 220% increase in sales value underscores the growing appetite for thoughtfully designed, tech-integrated properties across Dubai. With 13 already launched projects and nine more in the design and development stage, we are focused on expanding our footprint in key communities and continuing to shape urban living through innovation, efficiency, and strong investor value. We also look forward to extending our presence to other emirates, bringing our vision of modern living to a wider regional audience.'
The company's performance aligns closely with broader market dynamics, including increasing demand for off-plan properties, which accounted for 63% of residential sales in 2024. Investors and end-users alike are prioritising properties with green spaces, smart home features, and efficient layouts. Locations such as JVC and JVT remain in demand for studios and one-bedroom units targeting investors, looking for rental returns, while Al Furjan and Dubailand Residence are preferred by end-users seeking two- and three-bedroom homes. According to DXB Interact , JVC emerged as the top-performing district by volume in Q1 of 2025, with over AED 4.5 billion in transactions, reinforcing the growing appeal of well-connected, community-focused developments.
Object 1's buyer base continues to be led by international investors, with Q1 2025 sales dominated by buyers from India, China, the United Kingdom and more. The company remains focused on strengthening its offering in this segment, supported by investor-friendly pricing and long-term growth potential in Dubai and beyond. As part of its 2025 strategy, Object 1 will expand into Abu Dhabi with the opening of a new sales office and plans to launch premium residential developments in key locations.
With sustained demand expected for high-quality, well-located properties, Object 1 is set to continue its upward trajectory through Q2 and beyond, reinforcing its position as one of the fastest-growing developers in the UAE real estate landscape.

Gold sustains its appeal despite soaring prices in UAE market
Gold's steadfast position as a safe haven for investors in the UAE has withstood the test of rising prices, continuing to attract attention amid a global economic landscape marked by inflationary pressures and market volatility. Despite record-high valuations, the precious metal remains a symbol of financial security for those seeking stability in uncertain times. The price of gold has been climbing steadily, driven by a combination of factors, including global economic instability, inflation fears, and fluctuating currencies. The World Gold Council reports that, while the price of gold has reached unprecedented highs, it is still viewed as a reliable store of value. This trend is particularly evident in the UAE, where both investors and consumers are prioritising gold over other investment avenues. The UAE's jewellery sector, while impacted by the high cost of gold, has adapted by offering lighter pieces, adjusting making charges, and providing interest-free payment plans to make gold more accessible to the wider public. The allure of gold has persisted in the UAE due to its deep cultural significance, particularly among residents who view the metal as an important part of their financial portfolio. Gold has long been a preferred choice for investors, seen not only as a hedge against inflation but also as a traditional investment that carries a sense of stability. This cultural affinity with gold is evident in the sustained demand for both jewellery and bullion. ADVERTISEMENT With the price of gold having surged to over AED 240 per gram for 24-karat gold, a figure that reflects global trends, jewellery retailers in the UAE have been under pressure to strike a balance between maintaining profit margins and catering to their customers' demand for affordable luxury. In response to this, many jewellers have adjusted their pricing models by offering lighter pieces, which maintain the appearance of luxury while reducing the amount of gold used in production. These adjustments have allowed consumers to purchase items at lower prices, even though the underlying cost of the precious metal has skyrocketed. To further alleviate the financial burden on buyers, several jewellery outlets have introduced zero-interest instalment plans. These arrangements allow customers to spread the cost of their gold purchases over several months without incurring additional interest, making high-end gold jewellery more accessible despite the escalating prices. This shift has proved successful in maintaining consumer interest, ensuring continued sales in a challenging market. At the same time, traders have noticed a marked increase in gold purchases by UAE nationals, who are adding gold to their portfolios as a way to hedge against economic uncertainty. Financial experts argue that gold is an attractive alternative to other investment options, particularly amid global economic upheaval, as it provides a sense of protection against inflation and potential market downturns. Many investors are turning to gold as a long-term asset, preferring its inherent value over more volatile stocks or real estate. While jewellery retailers are adjusting to the soaring gold prices, there is also a growing trend among investors to purchase gold in its bullion form, rather than as intricate jewellery pieces. Gold bars and coins are seen as safer, more stable assets that can be stored with minimal risk of depreciation. Investors are favouring gold in these forms because they offer the same benefits as jewellery but without the added costs associated with crafting and design. The UAE's position as a major gold hub in the region remains strong, with Dubai continuing to be one of the world's leading gold trading centres. The Dubai Gold and Commodities Exchange has seen growing volumes in gold futures contracts, as investors seek to profit from the fluctuating prices of the precious metal. Despite the challenges faced by the retail jewellery sector, the demand for gold as a commodity is undeterred, suggesting that the market for bullion will continue to thrive in the long term. ADVERTISEMENT However, the high prices have not been without their challenges. The jewellery sector has reported that some buyers are holding off on large purchases, opting instead to wait for potential price fluctuations. This cautious approach has slowed down sales of high-end jewellery, with some consumers refraining from purchasing until they feel more confident in the stability of the market.
