In the first half of this year, Dubai’s real estate market registered 4,049 new activities, underscoring the emirate’s rising status as a premier investment hub and the diverse opportunities it presents to investors and service providers.

The sector’s growth is underpinned by an advanced regulatory environment that promotes efficient real estate operations and strengthens transparency in the market. A cornerstone of this system is the Dubai Land Department’s ‘Trakheesi System,’ the official channel for registering and activating diverse core industry activities.

To conduct certain real estate activities, registration in the Trakheesi System is mandatory. These include brokerage for property sales and leasing, property management oversight, valuation services, land and real estate transactions, jointly owned property management, real estate consultancy, as well as mortgage brokerage and advisory services.

Certain activities, including real estate development, leasing and managing private or third-party properties, and the work of real estate service and promotion trustees, require prior approval from the Trakheesi System.
