Dubai, UAE, April 14, 2026:Whitewill, the international luxury real estate agency for developers and partners across the UK, USA, and UAE markets, has reported strong ultra-luxury residential property demand across Dubai and Abu Dhabi, reflecting investor confidence and continued appetite for high-quality assets in both emirates. This also points to a market that is becoming more selective, with capital continuing to concentrate around prime locations and credible developments.

In Dubai, we continue to see strong interest in liquid secondary stock and rare waterfront assets, while in Abu Dhabi, demand is more concentrated in branded, concept-led developments with a long-term ownership profile. Across both markets, clients are prioritising legal security, trusted developers, and assets that can preserve value over time. Our role is to guide clients through that process with clear advice, full transaction support, and access to opportunities that match their goals.”
