The UAE real estate market is projected to reach AED 2.98 trillion by 2031, according to data from market intelligence platform Statista Market Insights, as population growth, foreign direct investment and sustained lifestyle demand continue to drive activity across the sector.
The forecast reflects confidence across residential, commercial and mixed-use development, with projects growing in both scale and complexity. Developers and investors are increasingly turning to planning and visualisation technologies to support decision-making before construction begins.
One company positioned to benefit is Lifesize Plans Dubai, an Australian-founded firm that provides life-sized architectural projections, augmented reality and immersive visualisation tools for the pre-construction phase.
The company entered the UAE market in 2023 and works with developers, architects and investors seeking to evaluate projects through 1:1 scale visualisations before breaking ground.
“The UAE’s projected real estate market growth reflects the country’s ability to attract global investors and residents through a combination of visionary planning, world-class infrastructure and a highly supportive business environment. As developments become larger and more sophisticated, there is an increasing need for immersive visualisation tools that support faster decision-making and enhance buyer engagement throughout the development process,” Georges Calas, CEO of Lifesize Plans Dubai said in a statement.
