Dubai has launched a bold new initiative aimed at making homeownership more accessible for both Emiratis and expatriates.

The programme offers priority access to new property launches, preferential prices, and customised mortgage solutions, all tailored specifically for first-time buyers.
It supports key national strategies including the Dubai Economic Agenda D33, Dubai Real Estate Strategy 2033, and the UAE’s Year of Community, aiming to boost homeownership rates and double the real estate sector’s contribution to Dubai’s GDP.
Open to UAE residents aged 18 and above who do not currently own a freehold residential property in Dubai, the initiative is inclusive of all nationalities and income levels.
