The UAE property sector continues to expand and remains a core part of the national economy. Strong local and global investor activity, long-term planning, major infrastructure spending and a stable investment environment have supported sustained performance.
Research and Markets¹ values the sector at AED 302.65 billion in 2024 and forecasts growth to AED 486.2 billion by 2030, reflecting a CAGR of 8.06%. The increase is supported by fast adoption of digital and immersive tools including AI, blockchain, VR and AR. As of 2023, more than 80% of listings in Dubai and Abu Dhabi were digitally available and over 60% of buyers began the transaction process online.
Responding to this shift, Lifesize Plans Dubai entered the market in 2023. The company provides 1:1 scale immersive architectural projections and advanced AR/VR tools that allow users to step inside full property layouts prior to construction. This approach aims to reduce revisions and improve confidence for developers and buyers.
Georges Calas, CEO of Lifesize Plans Dubai commented: “The UAE real estate sector is entering a new era of data-driven growth. Technologies such as AR and VR, among others are not just add-ons, but also redefining how properties are conceptualized, marketed, and sold. By immersing clients in hyper-realistic environments, we bridge the gap between imagination and reality, driving faster decisions and smarter investments, which is a necessity as demand continues to increase and buyers become more selective with how and where they are investing their money.”
With the UAE advancing its position as a global investment destination, developers and investors are increasingly turning to PropTech. This shift reflects demand for better design tools, clearer project communication and a more informed buying process. The combination of government policy, market demand and growing digital capability is expected to accelerate PropTech integration across the sector.
