Dubai's real estate market has extended its record-breaking streak in 2025, cementing its status as one of the world's most resilient property hubs. Year-to-date, transaction volumes have surged past 158,000 deals, with a combined value of Dh498.8 billion ($136 billion)-a 32% jump in value and 20% rise in volume compared to last year. The third quarter alone delivered 59,000 sales worth Dh170.7 billion, marking the highest quarterly performance ever recorded.

Prices have continued their upward trajectory, though at a moderated pace. Average residential values are 10% higher year-on-year, with villas outperforming apartments thanks to persistent supply constraints and strong end-user demand. Prime communities such as Palm Jumeirah and Dubai Hills Estate have seen annual gains of 15–30%, while apartment hotspots like Jumeirah Village Circle posted increases of around 17%.

The rental market, meanwhile, is stabilizing after two years of sharp hikes. Average annual rents hover near Dh99,000, but affordability pressures are pushing tenants toward ownership-55% now plan to buy within three years, up from 25% last year.

As the emirate's real estate reaches new heights, developers have announced the launch of Arthouse Hills Arjan, the second Arthouse-branded residential development in Dubai, following the success of the first Arthouse residence in Meydan. It brings the design and heritage of Arthouse Hotel New York to one of the city's fastest-growing communities. The tower stands as one of the tallest and most amenity-rich in Arjan, offering a wellness-focused, culturally inspired lifestyle experience.

Arthouse Hills Arjan strengthens the brand's presence in the UAE while positioning Arjan as a maturing micro-market attractive to both end-users and investors, reinforcing Dubai's status as a hub for design-led, wellness-focused residential offerings.

Omar Gull, Founder & Chairman, Cledor said,“Arthouse Hills Arjan is a new benchmark for design-led, amenity-rich living in one of Dubai's fastest-growing communities. We are proud to introduce the Arthouse brand here in partnership with Adaan, Tuscany, and NSE. With Arthouse, we aim to create a lifestyle rooted in creativity, balance, and global design culture.”

Bhaskara Santosh Punuru, Partner & Development Manager, Arthouse Hills Arjan said,“Arthouse Hills reflects our belief that Arjan is ready for a globally aligned, design-forward development. This partnership brings together some of the strongest names in the Dubai market, and we are proud to deliver a project that elevates both the skyline and residential experience of the community.”

Eng. Imad Khalil, Founder of New System Engineering (NSE), said,“We remain committed to exceptional top-tier quality and to delivering the building well ahead of time."
