<p>Across India, certified green buildings collectively save an estimated <strong>199.3 billion litres of water every year</strong>, demonstrating how sustainable design can significantly improve resource efficiency.</p>

<p>Mumbai also leads the country with <strong>over 500 IGBC-certified green buildings</strong>, reflecting the growing focus on environmentally responsible urban development.</p>

<p>These numbers highlight a broader industry shift—from simply constructing buildings to creating long-term, sustainable assets.</p>

<h2>Why Homebuyers Are Paying Attention</h2>

<p>Today's homebuyers are looking beyond location and amenities.</p>

<p>Increasingly, they value communities that offer:</p>

<ul>
  <li>Better water conservation</li>
  <li>Lower long-term maintenance costs</li>
  <li>Sustainable infrastructure</li>
  <li>Healthier living environments</li>
  <li>Future-ready building design</li>
</ul>

<p>As environmental awareness grows, sustainability is becoming an important factor in property decisions.</p>

<h2>Where PropTech Fits In</h2>

<p>Technology is accelerating this transformation.</p>

<p>Modern developments are leveraging PropTech solutions such as:</p>

<ul>
  <li>Smart water monitoring systems</li>
  <li>IoT-enabled building management</li>
  <li>Automated irrigation</li>
  <li>Energy and water usage analytics</li>
  <li>Predictive maintenance solutions</li>
</ul>

<p>These innovations help optimise resources while improving operational efficiency for developers, property managers, and residents alike.</p>

<h2>Building Resilience for the Future</h2>

<p>Climate resilience is becoming an integral part of urban planning.</p>

<p>Developers are increasingly recognising that sustainable buildings not only reduce environmental impact but also improve long-term asset value and enhance the overall living experience.</p>

<p>As cities continue to grow, integrating green infrastructure into real estate will play a crucial role in creating healthier and more resilient communities.</p>

<p>The future of real estate isn't just about building taller or faster.</p>

<p>It's about building smarter.</p>

<p>And as India continues to urbanise, green buildings will help ensure that cities are prepared not only for today's monsoon but also for the decades ahead.</p>

<p>Dubai's real estate market has entered a more discerning phase, with investors and end users increasingly prioritising delivery certainty, established locations and developers with demonstrable track records over speculative momentum. Palma Development's <strong>Serenia Living</strong> on Palm Jumeirah is presented by the company as an example of this shift a low-density waterfront community that was completed and handed over on schedule despite launching during a period of global market uncertainty and significant logistical challenges.</p>

<h2>A Model Built on Selectivity</h2>
<p>Founded in 2002 as Dubai opened its property market to freehold ownership, Palma Development says it adopted a project-led growth model rather than aggressive land banking. Over 24 years, the company reports completing approximately <strong>8 million square feet</strong> of premium residential real estate valued at over Dh17 billion, concentrated across a limited number of developments in mature waterfront districts Dubai Marina, Palm Jumeirah, and Jumeirah Islands.</p>

<ul>
  <li>Founded: 2002</li>
  <li>Completed portfolio: ~8 million sq ft, valued at over Dh17 billion</li>
  <li>Focus areas: Dubai Marina, Palm Jumeirah, Jumeirah Islands</li>
  <li>Parent company: Palma Holding (real estate services and community management)</li>
  <li>Flagship delivery: Serenia Living, Palm Jumeirah, delivered on schedule</li>
</ul>

<h2>How This Fits Dubai's Broader Urban Plans</h2>
<p>Palma Development positions its strategy as aligned with Dubai's long-term urban planning priorities, which emphasise high-quality residential density, waterfront activation, and lifestyle infrastructure. Developments such as the Serenia District in Jumeirah Islands are framed by the company as contributing to these goals by integrating residential development with wellness, recreation, and community amenities.</p>

<h2>The Investment Case, According to Palma</h2>
<p>The company argues that its focus on established locations with proven demand drivers robust infrastructure, community maturity and sustained occupancy has become increasingly relevant as buyer behaviour shifts toward long-term holding rather than speculative flipping. Palma states that properties in these districts have consistently delivered stronger capital appreciation and rental yields compared to those in emerging zones still reliant on future infrastructure delivery, though this is presented as the company's own market positioning rather than independently sourced market data.</p>

<h2>What's Next for Palma Development</h2>
<p>With Serenia Living now handed over, Palma Development's pipeline includes further Serenia-branded communities within established neighbourhoods. The company says its strategic direction remains consistent: disciplined delivery, premium locations and developments conceived as long-term residential assets rather than cyclical inventory, positioning its 24-year track record as validation of that approach for prospective investors.</p>

Palma Development's Case for Disciplined Dubai Real Estate

<p><strong>Saudi Arabia's homeownership rate</strong> increased from 47% in 2016 to <strong>66.24%</strong> by the end of 2025, bringing the Kingdom closer to its <strong>Vision 2030</strong> target of 70%. Minister of Municipalities and Housing Majed Al-Hogail announced the milestone during Saudi Arabia's address at the United Nations General Assembly High-Level Meeting on the Urban Agenda in New York, highlighting the country's progress in building sustainable, inclusive and resilient cities through measurable urban transformation.</p>

<p>Al-Hogail said Saudi Arabia has transitioned from urban planning and policy development to large-scale implementation, with the updated 2026 National Report submitted to UN-Habitat documenting the Kingdom's achievements in housing, infrastructure, mobility and municipal governance. More than 25% of Saudi families benefited from housing support programmes between 2018 and 2025, reflecting the government's continued investment in expanding homeownership opportunities.</p>

<h2>Housing Program Moves Closer to Vision 2030 Target</h2>

<p>The Kingdom's Housing Program has played a central role in increasing residential ownership through financing support, housing initiatives and partnerships with the private sector. The latest figures place Saudi Arabia within reach of its 70% homeownership target by 2030, one of the flagship objectives under Vision 2030 aimed at improving quality of life and housing affordability.</p>

<h2>Urban Infrastructure Records Significant Growth</h2>

<p>Saudi Arabia also reported substantial improvements in urban development indicators. Public space availability increased from 5.2 square metres per capita to 6.9 square metres, while the Bahja programme added more than 12 million square metres of community spaces. The Riyadh Metro transported over 100 million passengers during its first nine months of operation, while urban bus services carried more than 96.8 million passengers in 2025.</p>

<h2>Social Development Supports Urban Transformation</h2>

<p>Alongside housing progress, the Kingdom reported strong gains in social inclusion. Women's labour force participation increased from 22.8% to 36%, employment among people with disabilities more than doubled, and the number of nonprofit organisations exceeded 7,200, demonstrating broader community participation in national development.</p>

<h2>Green Initiatives Strengthen Sustainable Cities</h2>

<p>Saudi Arabia continues to integrate sustainability into urban planning through the Saudi Green Initiative and the National Renewable Energy Program. Municipal authorities are incorporating climate risk assessments, expanding urban data integration and strengthening financial autonomy to improve long-term city resilience and environmental performance.</p>

<h2>Public-Private Partnerships Accelerate Development</h2>

<p>The Kingdom has signed more than 56 public-private partnership agreements supporting municipal services and infrastructure. It has also strengthened international cooperation through agreements with UN-Habitat and the United Nations Development Programme while expanding green financing through $9.1 billion in green bonds and sustainable sukuk issued in 2024.</p>

<h2>Saudi Arabia Reinforces Global Urban Leadership</h2>

<p>By combining housing expansion, infrastructure investment, sustainability initiatives and social development, Saudi Arabia continues to position itself as a leading example of integrated urban transformation. The Kingdom's latest progress demonstrates its commitment to creating inclusive cities while advancing the long-term objectives of Vision 2030.</p>

Saudi Homeownership Reaches 66.24% Amid Urban Transformation

<p>Apartment rents in Ajman rose by more than <strong>50 per cent</strong> in some areas during the first half of 2026, while Abu Dhabi recorded price declines across several premium communities, according to data from Property Finder. The figures show rental markets in Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and Ajman moving in sharply different directions, shaped by affordability pressures and new housing supply.</p>

<h2>Ajman: Sharp Gains in Affordable Studios</h2>
<p>Studio rents in Al Rashidiya, Ajman, recorded the sharpest increase among tracked areas, rising 57.1 per cent from AED21,000 in Q1 to AED33,000 in Q2. Al Nuaimiya also saw a 25.5 per cent rise in studio rents, from AED22,000 to AED27,600, as demand for affordable housing continued to support pricing in centrally located Ajman districts. The increase was far less pronounced for larger units one-bedroom rents in Al Nuaimiya rose 6.7 per cent, while two-bedroom rents in Al Rawda climbed 7.5 per cent to AED43,000.</p>

<ul>
  <li>Al Rashidiya studios: AED21,000 → AED33,000 (+57.1%)</li>
  <li>Al Nuaimiya studios: AED22,000 → AED27,600 (+25.5%)</li>
  <li>Al Reem Island (Abu Dhabi) studios: AED75,000 → AED65,000 (-13.3%)</li>
  <li>Yas Island (Abu Dhabi) studios: AED94,999 → AED85,000 (-10.5%)</li>
  <li>Al Khan (Sharjah) 1-bedroom: AED54,000 → AED45,600 (-15.6%)</li>
</ul>

<h2>Abu Dhabi: Premium Communities Soften</h2>
<p>Abu Dhabi moved in the opposite direction, with declines recorded across Yas Island, Al Reem Island, the Corniche Area, and Al Khalidiya. Two-bedroom rents on Yas Island fell 10 per cent, from AED194,495 to AED175,000, while one-bedroom rents across nearly every tracked area also declined. In contrast, more affordable mainland districts like Al Musaffah held largely steady, with two-bedroom rents unchanged at AED70,000.</p>

<h2>Sharjah: A Mixed, Neighbourhood-Specific Picture</h2>
<p>Sharjah's rental performance varied significantly by location and unit size. Al Khan recorded the steepest one-bedroom decline in the emirate, down 15.6 per cent, while waterfront-adjacent Al Taawun studios fell 11.8 per cent. Meanwhile, commuter hubs such as Al Nahda and Al Qasimia posted modest increases, with Al Qasimia one-bedroom rents up 3.1 per cent, reflecting steady demand from professionals in well-connected, more affordable neighbourhoods.</p>

<h2>What's Driving the Divergence</h2>
<p>Cherif Sleiman, Chief Revenue Officer at Property Finder, said the first half of 2026 showed rental markets <strong>"moving at different speeds across the emirates."</strong> He explained that Ajman's sharp studio price spikes reflect renters seeking better value in centrally located, budget-friendly districts, while Abu Dhabi's softening stems largely from a wave of new supply giving tenants more options, particularly in premium waterfront communities. He noted Sharjah's split performance reflects how heavily rental movement now depends on specific neighbourhood and property size rather than the market as a whole.</p>

<h2>What to Expect in H2 2026</h2>
<p>Property Finder expects Ajman's rapid studio price gains to moderate once they hit affordability ceilings, while Abu Dhabi is likely to remain price-sensitive if new supply continues expanding tenant choice in premium areas. Sharjah's performance is expected to stay split by location, with affordable, well-connected neighbourhoods holding firmer than premium or waterfront pockets.</p>

He noted Sharjah's split performance reflects how heavily rental movement now depends on specific neighbourhood and property size rather than the market as a whole. What to Expect in H2 2026 Property Finder expects Ajman's rapid studio price gains to moderate once they hit affordability ceilings, while Abu Dhabi is likely to remain price-sensitive if new supply continues expanding tenant choice in premium areas. Sharjah's performance is expected to stay split by location, with affordable, well-connected neighbourhoods holding firmer than premium or waterfront pockets. Enjoyed this update?

Ajman studio rents jumped up to 57% in H1 2026 while Abu Dhabi's premium communities saw declines, per new Property Finder data.

<p>Modon has sold out the final phase of its <strong>Bashayer</strong> waterfront community on Hudayriyat Island within one day of launch, generating around Dh1.25 billion in sales. The developer confirmed that all 300 residences in the final phase were sold, reflecting strong ongoing demand for homes on Hudayriyat Island.</p>

<h2>A Wave of New Buyers</h2>
<p>According to Modon, 71 per cent of buyers were new customers, suggesting the launch drew significant fresh interest beyond the developer's existing client base rather than relying primarily on repeat investors. The rapid sellout underscores how quickly demand can move for well-positioned waterfront inventory in Abu Dhabi's current market.</p>

<ul>
  <li>Total sales value: Dh1.25 billion</li>
  <li>Units sold: 300 (100% of final phase)</li>
  <li>Time to sell out: within 24 hours of launch</li>
  <li>New customers: 71% of buyers</li>
  <li>Unit types: 1, 2, and 3-bedroom apartments; 4-bedroom penthouses; new 2 and 4-bedroom townhouses</li>
</ul>

<h2>What Buyers Are Getting</h2>
<p>The final phase of Bashayer includes a mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments, four-bedroom penthouses, and newly introduced two- and four-bedroom townhouses. Located on Hudayriyat Island, the waterfront development is designed around outdoor living and community-focused spaces, anchored by a <strong>3.5-kilometre waterfront promenade</strong> with walkable piers extending over the water for walking and recreation. The community also includes landscaped parks, a fully equipped gym, hydrotherapy facilities, children's play areas, and a range of retail outlets.</p>

<h2>Part of Hudayriyat Island's Broader Growth</h2>
<p>Modon said the strong response highlights continued demand for high-quality residential developments in Abu Dhabi and growing interest in waterfront communities that combine modern housing with lifestyle amenities. Bashayer forms part of the wider development of Hudayriyat Island, which continues to expand its residential, leisure and tourism offerings. The company has invited prospective buyers and investors interested in future projects to register their interest through its official channels.</p>

<h2>Why This Matters for Abu Dhabi's Property Market</h2>
<p>A same-day sellout of this scale signals continued strength in Abu Dhabi's residential market, particularly for waterfront and lifestyle-anchored communities that combine housing with extensive recreational infrastructure. With Modon continuing to expand its footprint across Hudayriyat Island and other developments such as Reem Island's Tara Park, the pace of demand suggests developers in the emirate are likely to keep prioritising amenity-rich, waterfront-adjacent housing as a core part of their upcoming project pipelines.</p>

Dh1.25bln Hudayriyat Island Homes Sell Out in One Day

<p>The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has recorded strong housing sales in the first quarter of FY 2026-27, driven by robust demand for housing across all categories. DDA sold <strong>1,284 flats</strong> during the quarter while generating <strong>Rs 1,020 crore</strong> in revenue, according to an official release, marking what the authority described as clear evidence of growing public confidence in its housing schemes.</p>

<h2>Narela Leads the Charge</h2>
<p>Sub-city Narela emerged as the biggest contributor to this success, with 1,153 flats sold during the quarter accounting for nearly <strong>90 per cent</strong> of total sales. This underscores Narela's growing attractiveness as a preferred residential destination, a shift being supported by DDA's continuous infrastructure development efforts, including the Urban Extension Road-II (UER-II) and the upcoming Rithala-Narela-Kundli Metro corridor, both of which are significantly improving connectivity to the area.</p>

<ul>
  <li>Flats sold in Q1 FY27: 1,284</li>
  <li>Revenue generated: Rs 1,020 crore</li>
  <li>Narela's share of total sales: ~90% (1,153 flats)</li>
  <li>Q1 FY26 revenue for comparison: Rs 462 crore</li>
  <li>Schemes extended until: July 31, 2026</li>
</ul>

<h2>A Sharp Year-on-Year Jump</h2>
<p>The Rs 1,020 crore in Q1 FY27 revenue marks a significant increase over the corresponding period of FY 2025-26, when DDA generated Rs 462 crore more than double the revenue realised a year earlier. Officials attributed the continued momentum to the Lieutenant Governor's sustained focus on re-imagining DDA's Sub-Cities.</p>

<h2>Which Schemes Are Driving Sales</h2>
<p>The sales were achieved through DDA's ongoing housing schemes, namely DDA Karmayogi Awaas Yojana, DDA Nagrik Awaas Yojana, and DDA Towering Heights, East Delhi Hub, Karkardooma (first-come-first-served basis), offering housing options across different income groups. These schemes have been extended until July 31, 2026, on a first-come-first-served basis. Since the schemes are fully online, buyers can purchase flats from home, with the units offered as freehold and ready-to-move, and sample flats available to help buyers make informed decisions.</p>

<h2>What This Signals for Delhi's Housing Market</h2>
<p>The sharp jump in both flats sold and revenue generated points to renewed buyer confidence in DDA's housing inventory, particularly in emerging sub-cities like Narela that are benefiting from major infrastructure upgrades. As connectivity projects such as the Rithala-Narela-Kundli Metro corridor progress, DDA's strong Q1 performance suggests continued momentum for affordable and mid-income housing demand across Delhi in the quarters ahead.</p>

Affordable Housing Demand Drives DDA to ₹1,020cr Q1 Sales

<p>Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath handed over the first key of units built under the <strong>Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-Urban (PMAY)</strong> at an event in Ghaziabad on Friday. This marks the first unit to be handed over since the scheme was announced 11 years ago in 2015, aimed at providing affordable housing to people from economically disadvantaged sections of society.</p>

<h2>How the Scheme Is Structured</h2>
<p>Under PMAY, the cost of a flat was ascertained at Rs 6 lakh, split between the Centre's share of Rs 2.5 lakh, the state government's share of Rs 1 lakh, and a beneficiary contribution of Rs 2.5 lakh. To be eligible for the benefit, a household's annual family income must be less than Rs 4 lakh.</p>

<ul>
  <li>Scheme announced: 2015</li>
  <li>Flat cost: Rs 6 lakh (Centre: Rs 2.5 lakh, State: Rs 1 lakh, Beneficiary: Rs 2.5 lakh)</li>
  <li>Eligibility: annual family income under Rs 4 lakh</li>
  <li>First unit handed over: 11 years after scheme announcement</li>
  <li>90 additional projects inaugurated/foundation-laid, worth Rs 868 crore</li>
</ul>

<h2>Why the Delay Took So Long</h2>
<p>The Ghaziabad Development Authority (GDA) faced an initial delay in receiving funds from the central and state governments, which held up the scheme's rollout. A lack of infrastructure meant to be developed by the power department and UP Jal Nigam further contributed to the delay. With the Chief Minister now handing over the first unit, GDA has officially begun giving possession of other completed flats, with officials saying units will soon be delivered to beneficiaries including Krishna Kumar under the Madhuban Bapudham housing scheme.</p>

<h2>Where Other Units Stand</h2>
<p>In the Madhuban Bapudham housing scheme, GDA has constructed 856 units, and in Newari, 528 units are ready. However, across three other schemes Dasna, Noor Nagar and Pratap Vihar a total of 2,112 units are yet to be completed.</p>

<h2>₹868 Crore in Additional Infrastructure Projects</h2>
<p>Apart from the housing handover, the Chief Minister also inaugurated and laid foundation stones for a total of 90 projects worth <strong>Rs 868 crore</strong>. Key projects included the Hapur Chungi flyover and a multi-level parking facility at Rajnagar District Centre. The Hapur Chungi roundabout, where traffic merges from four directions Kavinagar, RNE, DM office, and towards the police line has long been a traffic bottleneck; a flyover worth Rs 125 crore has been planned to bypass it and enable free traffic flow to the police line side, stretching 1.2 km with four lanes.</p>

<p>To ease congestion in the Rajnagar District Centre commercial hub, GDA will construct a multi-level parking facility under the Design, Build, Finance, Operate, and Transfer (DBFOT) model, where a private entity designs, constructs, funds, and maintains the facility and recovers costs through user fees before transferring it to GDA. Other projects launched include roundabouts, a 1.5 km Northern Peripheral Road, and Hum-Tum Road, which — along with the outer ring road will connect Ghaziabad to Meerut.</p>
