Dubai Residential REIT, the Shariah-compliant real estate investment trust managed by DHAM REIT Management, has announced a net profit of AED 622 million for the first half of 2025, up 10 per cent year-on-year. The REIT posted revenue of AED 958 million, up 10 per cent year-on-year, supported by robust leasing activity and rental rate increases across its residential portfolio. Adjusted EBITDA rose 11 per cent to AED 718 million, maintaining a healthy margin of 75 per cent. Dubai Residential REIT posts strong H1 growth Portfolio occupancy reached 98 per cent, an improvement of two percentage points from H1 2024. The REIT's premium residential properties averaged 98 per cent occupancy, community living assets 97 per cent, and the affordable segment posted 99 per cent occupancy. Corporate housing assets achieved full occupancy. The gross asset value stood at AED 23 billion as of 30 June 2025, up 7 per cent from December 2024, while the REIT maintained a conservative net loan-to-value ratio of 3 per cent and liquidity of AED 2.9 billion. Nabil Mohammad Ramadhan, Chairman of the Board of Directors, said: 'Dubai Residential REIT's strong first-half results mark a key milestone in our journey as a newly listed entity and reaffirm the strength of our long-term strategic vision, institutional governance, and value-driven approach. I am pleased to share that the Board has approved an interim cash dividend of AED 550 million for H1 2025 to be distributed in September 2025, reflecting our confidence in the REIT's financial resilience and long-term value proposition.' 'As one of Dubai's largest residential landlords, the REIT provides unitholders with access to a resilient, professionally managed platform that reflects the city's ongoing transformation and global appeal. Backed by a robust financial foundation and supportive macroeconomic fundamentals, the Board remains focused on ensuring disciplined stewardship, delivering stable income, and driving sustained long-term value for our unitholders — while contributing to Dubai's broader urban and economic development agenda,' he added. Ahmed Al Suwaidi, Managing Director of DHAM REIT Management, said: 'Dubai Residential REIT's strong first-half performance reflects disciplined execution across every aspect of our operations — from asset management and leasing to tenant retention and service delivery. Achieving 98 per cent portfolio occupancy and a 75 per cent adjusted EBITDA margin demonstrates our commitment to operational excellence and prudent cost control.' 'Our success is driven by a deep understanding of tenant needs, rigorous property management, and an active focus on maintaining high-quality, well-located communities. As we continue to scale, we remain focused on optimising rental performance, enhancing customer satisfaction, and driving consistent cash flow across all residential segments,' he explained. The REIT follows a semi-annual dividend distribution policy, with payments scheduled in April and September. The Board approved an interim cash dividend of AED 550 million for H1 2025, to be distributed in September. Looking ahead, the outlook for Dubai's residential real estate market remains positive, supported by sustained population growth, rising per capita income, and ongoing government reforms attracting skilled professionals and affluent residents. Dubai Residential REIT's portfolio includes approximately 15,200 residential units spread across 28 communities, offering investors exposure to a diversified and income-generating asset base in Dubai's rapidly growing residential market.

SmartCrowd launches luxury Dubai Downtown penthouse Flip
SmartCrowd, MENA's first regulated real estate crowdfunding platform, has unveiled its latest Flip opportunity: a rare, sky-high 3-bedroom penthouse in the heart of Downtown Dubai. This new launch comes as SmartCrowd continues to open up access to premium fractional real estate, having executed the highest number of Flip projects on a crowdfunding platform to date. Interest in SmartCrowd's Flip product is rapidly growing, with an earlier Dubai Hills Estate Flip project funding in record time, raising nearly Dh5 million in under 48 hours of launching on the platform. The Flip model allows users to co-invest in premium properties with strong value-add potential, which are then renovated and sold within a targeted 9 to 15 months. While long-term investments focus on steady income and appreciation over time, Flip caters to those seeking quicker exits and potentially higher short-term returns, without the hassle of managing the renovation and sale. Situated on the highest floor, this penthouse boasts panoramic, unobstructed views of the Burj Khalifa, the latest Downtown Flip is no exception. Its oversized layout and double-height ceilings, well above market norms, offer unmatched potential for a significant value-add renovation. With a target raise of Dh10.9 million over a 9-month expected timeline, this Flip launch reflects SmartCrowd's ongoing focus on sourcing undervalued, high-potential properties in prime locations, then transforming them into highly marketable, premium residences. 'With growing demand for diversification and greater liquidity, we're expanding our Flip model to meet investor appetite,' said Riz Ahmed, CEO of SmartCrowd. "This Downtown penthouse is exactly the kind of opportunity we aim to deliver, bringing high-potential, exclusive real estate within reach of everyday investors. With Nawy's backing, we're excited to scale this product even further." While the Flip model has gained strong traction, it's designed to complement, not replace, longer-term investments, like Buy and Hold, by offering a broader menu of options tailored to different timelines and return expectations. Following the same design language as SmartCrowd's recent Flip success in Central Park Towers, DIFC, this Downtown renovation will blend timeless minimalism with soft, sculptural luxury, a high-demand aesthetic that has already resonated with SmartCrowd investors and the Dubai buyer market. This Downtown Flip comes just weeks after SmartCrowd's majority acquisition by Nawy, a leading Cairo-based PropTech backed by e& Capital. The acquisition strengthens SmartCrowd's operational foundation and unlocks new opportunities for growth, technology integration, and investor reach across the MENA. With over Dh207 million in Flip projects launched to date and four successful exits generating an average 28 per cent net investor return over a 15-month holding period, SmartCrowd's Flip has established itself as a leading product in Dubai's dynamic short-term property investment space.
