Dubai Land Department Launches Global Real Estate Roadshow

In a bid to reinforce Dubai’s reputation as a premier destination for real estate investment, the Dubai Land Department (DLD), in collaboration with Q4 Consultants and IIFL Group, hosted the ‘Dubai Real Estate Connect’ initiative in New Delhi, India. The prestigious gathering, graced by His Excellency Dr. Abdul Nasser Al Shaali, UAE Ambassador to India, united prominent investors, entrepreneurs, and key stakeholders from India's real estate sector.

Advancing the Real Estate I Strategy Globally

The event forms part of Real Estate I, Dubai’s ongoing international real estate promotion campaign led by the DLD. This broader strategy is designed to forge deeper international partnerships and foster stronger investment ties with priority markets like India, which remains a critical ally for Dubai’s real estate ambitions.

Delegation Highlights Dubai's Competitive Edge

Dubai’s delegation was led by notable figures including Majida Ali Rashid, CEO of the Real Estate Development Sector; Majid Al Marri, CEO of the Real Estate Registration Sector; Khalifa Al Zeriem Al Suwaidi, CEO of Emirates Real Estate Solutions (ERES); and Mohammed Yahya, Director of the Real Estate Transactions Department. They presented an in-depth overview of Dubai’s thriving real estate environment, showcasing the city’s compelling investment opportunities and unique advantages.

Showcasing Strategic Pillars for Future Growth

During the event, the DLD delegation spotlighted several key focus areas: modern urban development trends, streamlined regulatory frameworks, and integrated digital services aimed at enhancing business operations and safeguarding investor interests. They also emphasized the longstanding and robust relationship between India and the UAE, highlighting collaborative efforts that encourage investment flow and economic synergy.

Supporting Dubai Real Estate Strategy 2033 Goals

The initiative is aligned with the Dubai Real Estate Strategy 2033, which aspires to place Dubai among the top three global real estate investment destinations. Built on principles of transparency, innovation, and operational excellence, this ambitious roadmap has been pivotal in boosting international confidence in Dubai’s property market.

Driving Innovation Through Digital Transformation

DLD took the opportunity to present its digital innovations, notably the Tokenisation Project—the region’s first blockchain-based property registration system. Other major initiatives discussed included the AI-driven Smart Rental Index, the ‘She Pioneers’ program promoting women’s leadership, and digital platforms like the Dubai REST app. These efforts are revolutionizing transaction processes, reducing administrative burdens, and ensuring greater operational efficiency.

Commenting on the initiative, Majida Ali Rashid said: “Dubai Land Department continues to strengthen its global presence by launching the ‘Dubai Real Estate Connect’ event in New Delhi, India, opening new avenues for cooperation and investment between Dubai and India in the real estate sector. The initiative also showcases Dubai’s pioneering real estate ecosystem, including transparent legislation, advanced digital services, an attractive investment environment, and forward-looking initiatives that reflect Dubai’s vision as a global capital for real estate innovation.”

She added: The ‘She pioneers’ initiative, recently organised by Dubai Land Department, received significant appreciation from the Indian side. This led to the DLD being invited to take part in honouring leading women in India’s real estate sector during the ‘Dubai Real Estate Connect’ event, in recognition of the vital role women play in advancing the real estate market.”

Majid Al Marri emphasised that the ‘Dubai Real Estate Connect’ in India initiative represents more than just a promotional event; it is an extension of a vital economic bridge linking two dynamic global markets. He added: “Our visit reaffirms Dubai’s full readiness to attract international investors and strengthen its position as a global hub for real estate investment by showcasing its competitive advantages and exploring new avenues of cooperation. We also aim to benefit from India’s advanced innovation and entrepreneurship experience and establish strategic partnerships with investors and business leaders in the Indian market, contributing to sustainable growth and expanding prospects for deeper economic integration between the two sides.”

Aligning with Dubai’s Economic Agenda D33

This outreach effort supports the broader Dubai Economic Agenda D33, which targets doubling Dubai’s economy over the next ten years through innovation-led growth. Through global engagements like these, the DLD is opening fresh pathways for international investment and reinforcing Dubai’s status as a leader in real estate excellence and sustainable urban development.

India’s Critical Role in Dubai’s Real Estate Growth

India continues to represent the largest share of foreign investors in Dubai’s property market, both in the number of individuals and the value of investments. Strengthening collaboration between India and Dubai’s public and private sectors remains crucial in further accelerating mutual growth and shared prosperity.
