DUBAI/SHARJAH – UAE-based master developer Arada has reported a 336% surge in sales in the first half of 2025, achieving AED 9.15 billion in sales value, underscoring the country’s growing appetite for premium residential real estate. This marks a significant jump from the same period in 2024, as the developer continues to expand its presence in Dubai and Sharjah.
According to Arada, 2,382 units were sold between January and June 2025, a 247% increase year-on-year. The growth has been attributed to high-profile project launches like Akala, a wellness-focused community launched in Dubai in May, and Masaar 2, a 2,000-unit residential development in Sharjah that sold out within three hours of launch.
Strategic Growth and International Vision
Arada is setting ambitious targets for 2025, including full-year sales of AED 15 billion and delivery of 2,000 homes. It also recently concluded a successful $450 million sukuk issuance, signaling strong investor confidence. The group aims to launch three new projects in the UAE in H2 2025, adding around 5,000 new homes to its pipeline, while also preparing for its international debut in Australia.
“We have always believed that when people and spaces connect with purpose, the results are transformational,” said HRH Prince Khaled bin Alwaleed bin Talal, Executive Vice Chairman of Arada.
Ahmed Alkhoshaibi, Group CEO, added: “With more projects coming up, both in the UAE and overseas, we remain committed to delivering value through people-first communities.”
Buoyant UAE Real Estate Market
Arada’s stellar H1 performance aligns with the overall positive trend in the UAE’s property sector. Sharjah reported a 48% rise in transaction value to AED 27 billion, while Dubai’s real estate market surged by 25%, reaching AED 431 billion in total sales.

Why Indian Investors Should Pay Attention
The UAE’s real estate boom — driven by developer credibility, strategic locations, and tax-friendly policies — continues to appeal to Indian investors, especially NRIs seeking long-term returns and lifestyle upgrades. Arada’s track record of delivering high-quality communities in Sharjah and Dubai offers a reliable entry point for Indian buyers looking to diversify investments into stable, high-growth international markets.
