With a robust activity in the Dubai real estate market during the first quarter of 2026, the demand for distinguished and valuable development projects, such as the Mansouri Residences, remains strong. Property sales reached AED 176.7 billion, reflecting a 23.4% year-on-year increase in real estate transactions while maintaining price stability and demand for planned units. This strong demand also aligns with the strengthening economic relations between the UAE and China, as key partners signed significant commercial cooperation agreements in the Middle East and Africa.
