The Mohammed Bin Rashid Housing Establishment (MBRHE) has announced steady progress on four major housing projects currently under implementation in Wadi Al Amardi, Al Awir, Hatta and Al Yalayis 5 areas of Dubai.

Once completed, these projects - being developed at a combined value of more than AED3.3 billion ($898 million) - will add 1,749 new homes to the emirate, said MBRHE in a statement.

The projects are part of a comprehensive housing programme approved in January by HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai.

Encompassing 3,004 homes valued at AED5.4 billion, the programme reflects the leadership’s vision to enhance housing stability and improve citizens’ quality of life, it added.

Acting CEO Mohammed Al Shehhi said MBRHE is implementing the projects in accordance with the directives of the leadership to strengthen residential stability and support Dubai’s wider social and economic goals.

MBRHE places the completion of new housing projects at the forefront of its priorities, with a focus on creating integrated residential communities that fulfil citizens’ needs while providing comfort, safety, and well-being, stated Al Shehhi.

The project includes 432 homes spanning 3.669 million sq ft, with a total investment of AED767 million. Completion is scheduled for the first quarter of 2026. The project features modern architectural designs that promote family stability and well-being, ensuring a high-quality living environment.

The Al Awir development comprises 398 homes covering 3.217 million sq ft, at a total cost of AED734 million. Expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2026, the project will feature advanced infrastructure and community facilities tailored to the needs of Emirati families.

The Hatta project is among MBRHE’s most distinctive initiatives, with a total of 213 homes spanning 2.654 million sq ft and a total investment of AED508 million.

Completion is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2026. The project supports Hatta’s comprehensive development, providing contemporary housing that meets the aspirations of residents and complements its transformation into a vibrant urban and tourism destination that celebrates heritage while embracing progress.

According to MBRHE, the Al Yalayis 5 project is the largest among the four developments, featuring 706 homes across approximately 7 million sq ft, with a total cost of AED1.31 billion.

Expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2028, the project will serve as a benchmark for sustainable, fully serviced residential communities designed to meet Dubai’s future housing needs, it added.-TradeArabia News Service
