Dubai advances its real estate landscape with a major affordable housing initiative, boosting accessibility and economic growth.
His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum has approved the development of 17,080 new housing units as part of Dubai’s Affordable Housing Policy. This initiative spans 1.46 million square metres and aligns with the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan, reinforcing the city’s long-term vision for sustainable urban growth.
The first phase of the project will focus on six key sites, including Al Mueisim 1, Al Twar 1, Al Qusais Industrial 5, and Al Leyan 1. These locations are strategically selected to integrate with Dubai’s expanding infrastructure, ensuring residents benefit from high-quality living standards, modern amenities, and seamless connectivity.
In addition to the housing initiative, Dubai approved policies to enhance Arabic language and Islamic studies education, reinforcing national identity and academic excellence. The Council also introduced the Independent Legal Consultant Project, offering Emirati legal professionals new career flexibility—fostering a dynamic and diversified professional landscape.
With this strategic housing development, Dubai reaffirms its commitment to an inclusive, future-ready city. For investors, developers, and professionals, these policies signal long-term stability and growth, making Dubai an increasingly attractive destination for real estate and business opportunities.
