These projects also added more than 24,000 new real estate units in Dubai up 36% compared with last year.” Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed stated that the figures reflect the visionary leadership of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. He noted that they reaffirm the strength and resilience of Dubai’s real estate sector and the growing confidence in its investment and business environment.

The report reviewed by Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed did not furnish a detailed breakdown of the 104 projects into residential commercial or industrial categories. More than 24,000 units entered the market through those completions during the six-month period.
