Dubai, United Arab Emirates - Business Bay recorded over AED 4.5 billion in off-plan real estate sales with more than 1,900 transactions in Q2 2025, reinforcing its status as one of Dubai's most vibrant and in-demand residential and investment destinations. The data reflects growing investor confidence in Business Bay's unique blend of central location, skyline living, and high-performing returns.
The surge in demand comes as Dubai's real estate market posted a record AED 66.8 billion in total sales across 18,700 transactions in May, marking a 44% increase in value and a 6% rise in volume compared to the same period last year. Business Bay played a key role in this growth, accounting for 5% of the city's total sales value, despite comprising just 3% of all transactions.
Strategically positioned between Downtown Dubai and the Dubai Canal, Business Bay continues to attract both local and international buyers with its world-class infrastructure, five-star hospitality, and direct access to Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai Metro, DIFC, and the city's leading leisure and commercial districts. Its reputation as a high-yield, high-appeal neighbourhood makes it a top choice for investors looking to capitalise on long-term growth within the city centre.
As demand continues to rise, developers are responding with design-led, lifestyle-focused projects that speak to the next generation of Dubai residents and global property investors. Among the most anticipated of these is the luxury branded residence project by QUBE Development, in collaboration with the award-winning global hospitality group The Lux Collective and its flagship brand, LUX*. This project brings the vision of a private sanctuary of urban luxury and world-class service to the heart of Business Bay.
Business Bay stands as one of Dubai's most connected and dynamic districts, and QUBE Development promises to elevate the standard of luxury living, introducing a new vision for urban sophistication and branded residence excellence in the heart of the city.
