DLD is making a move—a move where Dubai’s market value is projected to reach AED 60 billion by 2033. Thanks to the upcoming ‘Real Estate Tokenisation Project,’ buying, selling, and investing are on it’s way to becoming more digitised by opening doors to simplified transactions.
So, what does this launch have in store for UAE’s future property investors? Let’s go through the necessary details to find out what’s coming next for Dubai’s real estate.
What is the Real Estate Tokenization Project?
Let’s understand the basics. Firstly, tokenization refers to digital tokens recorded in blockchain technology, where buying, selling, and investment transactions are digitized.
According to Marwan Ahmed Bin Ghalita, the Director-General of the Dubai Land Department (DLD), this project is a sign that we are entering a new phase of growth in Dubai’s real estate market.
So, practically, the Real Estate Tokenization Project aligns with DLD’s vision of becoming a global leader in real estate investment and technology.
What’s coming next for Dubai’s real estate market?
This project is currently in its pilot phase under the Real Estate Innovation Initiative (REES) and is in collaboration with VARA (the regulator for virtual assets), DFF (which supports innovation), and Sandbox Real Estate (a testing platform for tokenization).
But how will this initiative drive the growth of Dubai’s real estate market? Here are a few reasons:
- Blockchain technology reduces paperwork and ensures secure and fast transactions, which will encourage greater participation in the market.
- It unlocks new opportunities for innovative real estate products, enabling a broader pool of investors to participate in large-scale real estate projects.
- It diversifies property ownership by allowing multiple investors to co-own a single property through tokenized real estate assets, granting them access to acquire a portion of the property without needing to purchase it entirely.
Bottom line
The Dubai Land Department’s objectives under the Dubai Economic Agenda D33 focus on adopting digital solutions in the real estate sector. Moreover, this project is a prime example of how Dubai is driving its economy through its sustainable and innovative approaches.
