Dubai sees 95 project launches in Q1 2025, adds 29,000 units
Nearly 95 new projects were launched in Dubai in the first quarter of 2025, which are expected to add 29,000 residential units to the market, according to a report by real estate consultancy firm Cavendish Maxwell. Approximately 9,300 residential units were completed in the first quarter of 2025, with apartments accounting for 79 percent of the total and the remainder comprising villas and townhouses, the report said. This marks the second-highest quarterly completion volume in the past two years, surpassed only by the fourth quarter of 2023. Dubai's housing supply is expected to see substantial growth, with nearly 300,000 units projected to enter the market by 2028. A significant portion of this new supply is anticipated in 2026 and 2027, indicating a potential surge in completions during those years, the report said. Over the rest of 2025, 73,000 units are forecast for delivery. However, actual completions may be impacted by shifting market dynamics, evolving buyer preferences, and potential delays in construction timelines. 'Given these factors, it will be crucial to observe how developers adjust their strategies to manage this increased supply, respond to market demand, and ensure timely delivery,' the consultancy stated.

Kuwait eyes public-private partnership energy projects to help end power crisis
KUWAIT CITY - Kuwait is hoping that new energy projects involving state and private investors will help the country tackle its power crisis, with one of the contracts due to be awarded within weeks, the acting director general of the Kuwait Authority for Partnership Projects (KAPP) said. Kuwait, a member of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), has been grappling with a severe electricity shortage driven by rapid population growth, urban expansion, rising temperatures, and delays in maintenance at some power plants. Since last year, the government has resorted to planned power cuts in some areas to reduce the load. Under KAPP's Public Partnership Projects (PPP) framework, companies are set up to carry out projects managed by a strategic partner. The partner, who can be Kuwaiti, foreign or a consortium of investors, is allocated 26% to 44% of the company's shares. The remaining 50% stake is offered to Kuwaiti citizens and the remainder retained by the government. The goods and services produced are sold back to the government. The authority is looking at several projects that will "ease the financial burden on the state budget, as their costs will be borne by the private sector," KAPP's acting director general Asmaa Al-Mousa told Reuters. Among the top-priority projects are the Khairan power project, the Dabdaba and Shagaya renewable energy project, as well as phases two and three of the Al-Zour North power plant, which are expected to be awarded "within weeks', after which implementation will begin, she said. Once completed, the Al-Zour North project will produce 2.7 gigawatts (GW) of power and 120 million gallons of water daily using combined-cycle technology, with construction set to take three years. Al-Mousa said she hopes to launch the tenders for phases one and two of the Dabdaba and Shagaya renewable energy project before the end of 2025. Phase one, with a production capacity of 1.1 GW, has already completed the qualification process and companies have been invited to submit qualification requests for phase two, which aims to produce 500 megawatts of electricity. The four phases of the Dabdaba-Shagaya project are expected to produce a total of 4.5 GW by 2030.
