Dubai Residential REIT Investment Proposition:

A Unique Opportunity to Own the Dubai Growth Story

Upon listing, Dubai Residential REIT is expected to be the GCC’s first listed REIT focused exclusively on residential leasing, and the region’s largest REIT, with a gross asset value (GAV) of AED 21.63 billion, almost double the combined GAV of the five largest REITs in the region.
The REIT manages 35,700 residential units in Dubai, making it one of the largest residential real estate owners and operators in Dubai and the benchmark for residential real estate in the emirate.
Dubai Residential REIT portfolio is spread across different locations, property types, and price segments: Premium, Community, Affordable, and Corporate Housing.
The tenant mix is well-balanced, comprising 43% corporate tenants and 57% individual tenants with varying income levels, addressing the diverse residential needs of Dubai residents.
Dubai Residential REIT’s properties are actively managed by experienced teams focused on actively engaging tenants, enhancing the value proposition of managed communities, increasing cashflow, and reducing risks.
The robust economic performance of the emirate of Dubai is strongly supported and driven by the UAE’s superior macroeconomic fundamentals, which are underpinned by positive structural shifts in the rental market.
Dubai Residential REIT benefits from Dubai Holding Group’s broad capabilities within the real estate sector, including development, asset management, facilities management and community management.
