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.
Olga Pankina, COO of Whitewill Dubai, commented: “The deals we are seeing across Dubai and Abu Dhabi show that demand remains firmly present, but buyers are approaching the market with greater discipline and a clearer investment strategy. 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.”
Dubai’s prime market stays active
In Dubai, demand is largely concentrated in the secondary market, with strong interest in studios and one- to two-bedroom apartments in Business Bay, Bluewaters Island, Downtown, Dubai Harbour, and Jumeirah waterfront communities such as Port de La Mer. Most deals fall within the AED 1 million to AED 3 million range, while prime and waterfront assets typically reach AED 4 million to AED 6 million, and ultra-luxury homes exceed AED 40 million.
