New Launch - India Real Estate Report 2026.
UAE-based real estate developer BNW Developments plans to develop around 10,000 homes across Dubai and Ras Al Khaimah over the next four years as it expands its footprint in the UAE, with Indian investors emerging as a key contributor to its growth strategy.
BNW currently has 12 developments under various stages across the two emirates, spanning branded residences, hospitality-led projects, mixed-use developments and master-planned communities, with project handovers expected to commence from 2027.
Indian investors emerge as a key growth driver
The company said Indian buyers accounted for about 14.38 per cent of its total business during the first half of the year, underscoring India's growing importance as one of its largest overseas markets.
BNW shared its expansion plans at its Global Partners Meet held in Gurugram on August 5, attended by more than 2,000 channel partners and real estate professionals from across the country.
Chairman and Founder Dr Ankur Aggarwal said India is not simply an important source market for BNW but a strategic partner in its growth journey, adding that the contribution of Indian buyers reflects the confidence they place in the UAE as an investment destination and in developers that offer credibility, transparency and long-term value.
He said the company aims to develop nearly 10,000 homes over the next four years while strengthening its network of channel partners to support Indian investors looking at opportunities in the UAE real estate market.

In Ras Al Khaimah, BNW is developing projects on Al Marjan Island, including the Al Marjan Beach District, and in RAK Central, while in Dubai it is expanding its portfolio of branded residences across key growth corridors.
The company said Indian high-net-worth individuals, non-resident Indians, entrepreneurs and professionals are increasingly considering UAE real estate for portfolio diversification, driven by:
- Rental yields
- Long-term capital appreciation
- Global connectivity
- The country's transparent regulatory framework
According to BNW, buyers are also placing greater emphasis on a developer's execution capability, project quality, location and long-term credibility while making investment decisions.
