Dubai: Second tokenised property to be offered at discounted rate this week

Dubai: Second tokenised property to be offered at discounted rate this week

Khaleej Times09-06-2025
The second tokenised property will be launched in Dubai this week, allowing residents to invest in the red-hot real estate market from as low as Dh2,000.
Launched at Prypco Mint, the first tokenised unit from Damac Properties was fully funded in just one day last month, setting a regional benchmark for speed, demand, and investor confidence. The property attracted 224 investors from over 40 nationalities, with an average investment amount of Dh10,714.
The second tokenised property will go live on Wednesday, June 11, at 11 am on the Prypco Mint.
'Following the remarkable success of the debut property, which was fully funded within 24 hours, we're excited to launch our second tokenised property on June 11, 2025. This listing features a one-bedroom apartment at Kensington Waters in Mohammed Bin Rashid City, developed by Ellington,' said Amira Sajwani, founder and CEO of Prypco.
As an open, industry-first platform, she said Prypco Mint works with leading developers across the market to give investors access to the best opportunities in real estate, beyond any single developer affiliation.
The new property is priced at Dh1.5 million, below its independently assessed market value of Dh1.9 million. 'We're focused on finding great deals and high-quality properties for our community, and this is another example of us delivering strong value for our investors,' she added.
With a market value of Dh3 million, the first property was offered at a discount rate of Dh2.4 million.
The Dubai Land Department said the waitlist exceeded 6,000 requests after the launch of the first tokenised property.
'It's clear there's a strong and growing demand for this new model of real estate investment. We're confident the second tokenised property will see an equally positive response. It's exciting to see investors embrace the benefits of liquidity, transparency, and accessibility, qualities that are transforming real estate from a traditionally static asset class into something far more dynamic and inclusive,' said Amira Sajwani.
As awareness around tokenised property continues to grow, Prypco's founder said the biggest beneficiaries will be everyday residents who have traditionally been priced out of real estate investment.
'It's about financial inclusion, flexibility, and control. Residents can now start building their property portfolio in a smarter, more accessible way, whether they're investing for the first time or looking to diversify their assets,' she added.

Union Properties Sees Q2 Profit Drop Despite Revenue Rise

Arabian Post Staff -Dubai Union Properties reported a sharp decline in second-quarter net profit, registering AED 8.74 million, a 52% fall from AED 18.3 million for the same quarter last year. The Dubai-listed developer attributed the downturn to heavier upfront investments channelled into development activities and upgrades to infrastructure across its portfolio. For the first half of 2025, profit stood at AED 14.56 million, significantly lower than the AED 34.77 million reported during the same period in 2024. Despite this decline in bottom-line earnings, the company recorded a notable improvement in revenue. Total income for the six-month period rose to AED 316 million, a 19% year-on-year increase compared to AED 266 million during the first half of 2024. ADVERTISEMENT The company's performance reflects a strategic pivot toward long-term asset enhancement, which has led to a temporary squeeze on margins. According to statements from company officials, this phase of intensified capital expenditure is aligned with efforts to revitalise core assets and push forward master-planned projects aimed at bolstering future recurring revenue. Union Properties has been seeking to reposition itself in the competitive Dubai real estate landscape, where both private and publicly traded developers are ramping up efforts to respond to shifting demand patterns in residential, commercial, and mixed-use spaces. The firm's latest investment push includes modernisation of infrastructure, land parcel optimisation, and enhancements across its flagship MotorCity community, as well as new project launches in high-growth corridors of Dubai. Market analysts indicate that the firm's choice to front-load development expenses may place temporary pressure on quarterly earnings but positions the company for stronger medium-term growth, particularly as Dubai's property sector remains buoyant. Real estate transaction volumes in the emirate have continued to show strength, driven by both domestic end-user demand and international investor interest. Union Properties has also been undertaking restructuring initiatives since 2022 in a bid to reverse a prolonged downturn marked by legal disputes, operational setbacks, and financial mismanagement. The group's current leadership has focused on stabilising the balance sheet, improving transparency, and advancing stalled developments. The company's equity structure has undergone changes, with efforts to attract new institutional investors and offload non-core assets. During the latest reporting period, the developer recorded a surge in project execution costs, which contributed to the narrowing of margins. Construction and infrastructure spending increased significantly, while administrative expenses remained relatively stable. The higher costs are partly reflective of an accelerated build-out of key developments and a recalibration of timelines to align with updated delivery schedules. The developer's revenue boost was attributed largely to stronger unit sales and improved rental income from existing properties. However, the impact of increased capital expenditure overshadowed these gains, resulting in lower profitability. The company's cash flow remains positive, supported by pre-sales and project advances, although liquidity management remains a focus area amid the ongoing investment cycle. Union Properties' board has reiterated its confidence in the current trajectory, describing the strategic investments as necessary for sustainable growth. Internal forecasts suggest that revenue streams will continue to expand into the second half of the year as multiple projects reach key development milestones. Delivery schedules have been tightened and operational efficiencies have been integrated to mitigate further cost overruns. The wider Dubai property market has shown continued resilience, with price growth moderating but staying positive. Analysts suggest that Union Properties' recent performance must be viewed in the context of its turnaround efforts and sector-wide transformation. Large-scale developers have increasingly shifted focus towards quality, lifestyle-oriented developments, a segment Union Properties is now actively targeting through its redevelopment strategy.

By sharing knowledge, exchanging talent, and co-creating solutions, we aim to address the critical challenges and harness the immense potential of AI for the benefit of not only our nations, but the wider global community.' Khalfan Belhoul, CEO of DFF, said: 'This expanded partnership will help the Global South to unlock greater value from AI and Fourth Industrial Revolution applications. Guided by our leadership, the UAE is committed to building and strengthening global collaboration to achieve inclusive, sustainable development through technology and knowledge sharing.' Aytug Goksu, Head of Network and Government Affairs at C4IR Network and Partner Engagement at World Economic Forum said: 'The signing of this MoU marks a significant milestone in our shared journey to harness the transformative power of AI. By bringing together the shared expertise and vision of the Centres for the Fourth Industrial Revolution in the UAE, Rwanda, and Malaysia, we are connecting a global community of AI practitioners committed to advancing inclusive and sustainable progress.' Crystal Rugege, Managing Director of the Rwanda Centre for the 4th Industrial Revolution, said: 'We are delighted to deepen our engagement within the global C4IR network through the expansion of the AI Fellowship Program. This strategic partnership complements our flagship initiatives, including the AI Innovation Lab and the Global AI Summit on Africa, enhancing our collective ability to foster cutting-edge research, knowledge transfer, and capacity building. By strengthening responsible AI governance and accelerating practical AI adoption, we are committed to empowering Rwanda, our partner countries, and the global AI ecosystem to fully leverage AI for sustainable and inclusive development.' The UAE Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution (UAE C4IR), overseen by DFF and launched in April 2019 in a partnership between the UAE Government and WEF, plays a key role in facilitating collaboration and exchange. Over the past six years, the centre has forged several impactful partnerships and initiatives. The Global Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution Network is a platform for multistakeholder collaboration, bringing together public and private sectors to maximize technological benefits to society while minimizing the risks. It explores exponential technologies and drives their responsible adoption and application, leveraging a global network of independent national and thematic centres.
