The initiative will facilitate more diverse housing options, support family stability and 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.
To reinforce Dubai’s status as a pedestrian-friendly global city, The Executive Council approved the
Super Block initiative.
The project focuses on transforming designated urban areas into pro-pedestrian zones to enhance
quality of life, foster social interaction, and promote sustainable mobility.
