Private property owners on Sheikh Zayed Road (from the Trade Centre Roundabout to the Water Canal) and in the Al Jaddaf area are now allowed to convert their properties to freehold ownership, as announced by the Dubai Land Department.
This conversion option is available to individuals of all nationalities. A total of 457 plots are included, with 128 located along Sheikh Zayed Road and 329 in Al Jaddaf.
This initiative aims to boost growth in Dubai’s real estate sector and reinforce the city’s status as a key economic hub and global leader in real estate investment. It also aligns with the goals of the Dubai Real Estate Strategy 2033, according to Eng. Marwan Ahmed Bin Ghulaita, Director General of Dubai Land Department.
Eligible landowners can verify their inclusion through the “Dubai REST” app, as the transfer process involves submitting an application to the Dubai Land Department for evaluation and valuation of the property.
