In a bid to attract foreign investors to Dubai’s thriving real estate market, the Dubai Land Department (DLD) signed a strategic partnership agreement with MIE Events to enhance Dubai’s presence at the America Property Exhibition (APEX) in Miami and expand its engagement with key global real estate stakeholders.
This collaboration supports the department’s efforts to attract foreign direct investment to Dubai through robust regulatory and institutional frameworks, reinforcing the emirate’s position as a leading global hub for real estate investment.
“This agreement comes as part of our ongoing efforts to solidify Dubai’s position as a global hub for real estate investment by strengthening partnerships with key stakeholders locally and internationally,” stated Majid Al Marri, CEO of the real estate registration sector at Dubai Land Department.
DLD to promote city’s property sector
Under the agreement, Dubai Land Department will promote Dubai’s real estate sector as a premier global investment destination by showcasing its opportunities and market strengths. It will also work closely with investors and real estate developers to streamline official procedures, including registration, permit issuance and transactional processes, ensuring an efficient and investor-friendly experience.
“This collaboration represents a strategic step that supports our objectives of attracting foreign investments, fostering sustainable growth in the sector, and providing an enabling environment rooted in transparency and innovation—all in alignment with the ambitious goals of the Dubai Real Estate Strategy 2033,” added Al Marri.
In 2024, Dubai attracted $14.24 billion in estimated FDI capital, and real estate attracted 14 percent of that capital, highlighting its growing role as an engine for economic growth.
For its part, MIE Events will organize events and workshops both within and outside the UAE to showcase the investment advantages of Dubai’s real estate market. The company will also support the participation of local developers at the APEX exhibition by providing dedicated platforms to showcase their projects and offering investors the legal and regulatory guidance they need to confidently enter the market.
Additionally, it will prepare regular reports on real estate market trends in Dubai, coordinate site visits for international investors, and support the organization of forums and bilateral meetings that facilitate the formation of strategic partnerships.
