Dubai is set to witness a significant transformation in its housing landscape with the delivery of nearly 2,000 homes across four key areas by 2028. The Mohammed Bin Rashid Housing Establishment (MBRHE) has announced four major housing projects — Wadi Al Amardi, Al Awir, Hatta, and Al Yalayis 5 — which will collectively provide 1,749 homes valued at over Dh3.3 billion. These projects are part of a broader housing programme approved in January 2025 by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, aimed at enhancing housing stability and improving citizens’ quality of life. The comprehensive programme encompasses 3,004 homes with a total value of Dh5.4 billion, reflecting the leadership’s vision to create integrated residential communities that offer comfort, safety, and well-being. Mohammed Al Shehhi, Acting CEO of MBRHE, emphasized the establishment’s commitment to fulfilling the leadership’s directives by prioritizing the completion of these projects. He highlighted that the developments align with Dubai’s broader social and economic goals, aiming to make the city the best place to live in the world. Each project has been meticulously designed to meet the needs of Emirati families, with modern architectural designs, advanced infrastructure, and community facilities. The Wadi Al Amardi project, set for completion in the first quarter of 2026, includes 432 homes spanning 3.669 million square feet with an investment of Dh767 million. The Al Awir project, also scheduled for completion in early 2026, comprises 398 homes covering 3.217 million square feet at a cost of Dh734 million. The Hatta project, a distinctive initiative supporting the area’s transformation into a vibrant urban and tourism destination, features 213 homes across 2.654 million square feet with an investment of Dh508 million and is expected to be completed by the fourth quarter of 2026. The largest of the four, the Al Yalayis 5 project, will deliver 706 homes across approximately 7 million square feet with a total cost of Dh1.31 billion, setting a benchmark for sustainable, fully serviced residential communities. These projects underscore the Government of Dubai’s commitment to providing a modern and sustainable housing environment that ensures stable and dignified lives for its citizens.
