Top 10 Dubai Projects by Transaction Value – H1 2025

The Top 10 Dubai Projects by Transaction Value H1 2025 highlight how capital gravitated to two poles, compact mid-market towers in Motor City and Bukadra, and branded waterfront icons like The Bristol at Emaar Beachfront. Together, they reveal Dubai’s dual engine of liquidity and prestige, with scale at the base and global luxury at the crest.

Top 10 Projects by Transaction Value – H1 2025

From Sobha’s Motor City towers to Emaar’s Beachfront icons, Dubai’s H1 2025 value leaders span both liquidity and prestige.

Market Overview

H1 2025’s leaderboard by total transaction value looks very different from the mid-market storylines of JVC or peripheral launches. Instead, the top ranks are dominated by branded waterfront towers, premium central launches, and a handful of ultra-luxury outliers.

• Emaar Beachfront’s The Bristol alone contributed nearly AED 481 million across just 62 trades, thanks to median tickets above AED 7.6M.
• Skyscape (Bukadra) and Al Habtoor Tower (Business Bay waterfront) combined scale with upper-mid AED/sq.ft pricing, anchoring the top five.
• Enara by Omniyat, with only four transactions, still placed in the Top 10 by pushing average deal size above AED 50M.

This duality tells us something important about Dubai in H1: the liquidity engine lay in compact mid-core launches, but value concentration was firmly in prime and luxury corridors. The “barbell” shape is unmistakable, compact absorption on one side, prestige punctuation on the other.

AIQYA Insight:
For investors, the clear takeaway is that compact stock (1–2 BRs in Motor City, Business Bay, Production City) remains the churn engine. But when it comes to total market value, a handful of premium branded launches can outweigh dozens of mid-market towers.
