Amira Sajwani, Managing Director of DAMAC Properties, stated that Dubai’s real estate market continues to demonstrate strong momentum and solid investor confidence, even amid the political challenges facing the region. She emphasized that this stability reinforces Dubai’s position as one of the most attractive and secure investment destinations globally, as reflected in the emirate’s real estate transaction data.
Sajwani confirmed that all DAMAC projects are progressing according to their scheduled timelines, with no delays in deliveries. This highlights the company’s strong commitment to completing its developments on time. She added that these efforts reflect the company’s high operational efficiency, further strengthening its position as a key player in Dubai’s real estate sector.
She also pointed to the market’s positive performance, which reflects the strength of the UAE’s economic fundamentals in general and its real estate sector in particular. She noted that data from “Dubai REST,” issued by the Dubai Land Department, shows that the total value of real estate transactions reached $67.06 billion (AED 246.12 billion) during the first quarter of 2026, compared to $38.88 billion (AED 142.7 billion) during the same period in 2025, representing a year-on-year growth of 72.46%.
She added that DAMAC continues to play a leading role in the market, topping the list of companies in terms of market share for sales transactions, achieving sales of 3,663 units during the first quarter of the year. This underscores its active role in driving the growth of the emirate’s real estate sector.
Sajwani expressed her pride in the leadership of His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum in overcoming challenges and advancing development over the past years.
She added that whether during the global financial crisis in 2008, the COVID-19 pandemic, or the heavy rainstorm known as “Al Hadeer Low” in 2024, the UAE has consistently demonstrated its resilience and ability to emerge stronger after every crisis.
She concluded her remarks by emphasizing the importance of the UAE’s wise economic vision and its strength as an investment destination that inspires confidence among international investors, affirming that this promising trajectory will continue to enhance the country’s prosperity and the development of its vital sectors in the years ahead.
