Dubai's residential property market continued its upward trajectory in the third quarter of 2025, with off-plan sales emerging as the clear driver of growth. According to the latest market report by Cavendish Maxwell, overall residential transactions surged to 55,300 deals, marking a 17.1 per cent year-on-year increase, as investor confidence and population growth fueled demand.

The standout performer was the off-plan segment, which accounted for a staggering 76 per cent of total market activity. Off-plan transactions hit a record 42,000 deals, up 23.6 per cent year-on-year and 18.1 per cent quarter-on-quarter, despite a slowdown in new project launches during the period.

Within the emirate, Dubai Investments Park has emerged as one of Dubai's most attractive destinations for affordable housing and high-yield investments. Known for its strategic location near Jebel Ali and Expo City, DIP offers a mix of apartments, townhouses, and villas that cater to mid-income families and ROI-focused investors. The area's appeal lies in its competitive pricing and strong rental returns, which currently average between 9% and 11%, making it one of the most lucrative spots for apartment investors in Dubai.

In this regard, Reportage Group recently launched Verdana 8 and Verdana 9, expanding one of its most successful residential communities within Dubai Investments Park. With earlier phases already shaping a vibrant residential fabric, the new launch reinforces the ongoing momentum and continuous progress of the Verdana master community.

As new phases rise, Verdana continues to mature into a fully realized residential destination built for today's residents and tomorrow's pioneers.

Dubai's property market remains one of the most attractive investment landscapes globally, supported by tax-free income, high ROI, ans Golden Visa eligibility for real estate investors. Combined with world-class safety, healthcare, education, and infrastructure, the city continues to offer a secure environment where every home serves as an asset for long-term prosperity.

With Verdana 8 and 9, Reportage Group strengthens its mission to deliver accessible, design-driven communities that stand the test of time.
