owners to subdivide real estate units and issue independent title deeds for each unit within the

community cohesion, in addition to stimulating economic growth within the real estate sector.
Implemented in two phases by the Dubai Land Department, the initiative’s first phase focuses on
multi-storey buildings within investment and social-purpose zones, targeting areas such as Al Nahda,
Al Muraqqabat, Al Karama, Al Warqa, Nad Al Hamar, and Al Barsha. The second phase will extend to
villa communities, providing Emirati families with more ownership choices. By facilitating more flexible

ownership structures, the initiative aims to encourage greater participation in Dubai’s real estate
sector while ensuring a dynamic and inclusive market.
