issue independent title deeds for each unit within the building. The initiative will

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.
