PNI Weekly - GCC Real Estate Activity Remains Strong

In this week’s recap, we revisit some of the key real estate stories shaping the GCC — developments we recently covered, now viewed together to understand the broader market direction.

In Dubai, a $1.44 billion land allocation for Emirati citizens highlights continued focus on long-term housing and urban planning, while the market recorded approximately $1.03 billion in transactions at the start of the week.

In Abu Dhabi, the Manchester City Yas Island residences generated $1.63 billion in sales within just 72 hours, reflecting strong demand for branded and lifestyle-led developments.

Across the region, Oman’s real estate price index rose by 13.9% in Q4 2025, while Sharjah recorded approximately $626 million in deals in the first half of March, pointing to sustained activity beyond prime markets.

Together, these updates reinforce the continued momentum across GCC real estate, driven by investment, infrastructure, and long-term planning.
