Premium Market Leaders

Dubai Marina ranked first in transaction value with Dh25.1 billion, followed by Business Bay (Dh22.5 billion), the Burj Khalifa area (Dh17.1 billion), and Palm Jumeirah (Dh16.96 billion). Al Yalayis 1, Meaisem Second, and Wadi Al Safa 5 also crossed the Dh15 billion mark, highlighting the widespread demand across the city.
