Dubai, UAE — Arada, one of the UAE’s fastest-growing developers, reported a significant surge in property sales during the first half of 2025, fueled by strong investor appetite for premium residential real estate.
The company recorded AED 9.2 billion ($2.5 billion) in sales between January and June, marking a 336% year-on-year increase. Arada sold 2,382 units, up 247% compared to the same period in 2024, signaling robust market momentum across the UAE’s luxury property sector.
Key project launches during the first half included Akala—a wellness-centric residential development in Dubai—and Masaar 2, a master-planned community of 2,000 villas and townhouses in Sharjah.
Group CEO Ahmed Alkhoshaibi announced that Arada plans to launch three new projects in the second half of 2025, introducing 5,000 additional homes to the market. He also revealed the company’s first international expansion, with an upcoming project debut in Australia as part of a broader strategy to pursue global growth and strategic partnerships.
Arada is targeting AED 15 billion in total sales for 2025, with 2,000 units scheduled for delivery by year-end.
To support its development pipeline, Arada successfully raised $400 million through a sukuk issuance last month, securing additional funding for ongoing and future projects across the UAE.
According to data from the Sharjah Real Estate Registration Department, the emirate’s total property transaction value grew by 48% year on year in H1 2025, reaching AED 27 billion. Meanwhile, Dubai’s real estate market also remained buoyant, with transaction values climbing 25% to AED 431 billion over the same period.
Since its inception in 2017, Arada has launched nine projects across Sharjah and Dubai, expanding its portfolio to a combined AED 90 billion in value across the UAE and Australia. To date, the developer has sold more than 17,000 units worth AED 29 billion, with over 10,000 units already handed over to customers.
