Dubai Residential REIT, the real estate investment trust listed on the Dubai Financial Market, has reported a solid net profit of AED 1.28 billion for the year 2025 — a 14.5% increase compared to 2024. The strong performance underscores the fund’s resilience and effective management amid a dynamic property market.
The REIT’s total revenues reached AED 1.95 billion, up 9% from the previous year. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) came in at AED 1.49 billion, showing a healthy 15.2% year-on-year growth.
By the end of 2025, the fund’s total assets were valued at AED 23.54 billion — an 8.8% rise from AED 21.63 billion in December 2024. Net asset value (NAV) also saw a solid increase, growing by 12.6% to AED 22.05 billion, compared to AED 19.59 billion a year earlier.
Operationally, the average revenue per leased unit reached AED 53,524, while income per leased and rentable square foot climbed to AED 56.5. The number of residential units remained stable at 35,700, with total rentable space holding steady — reflecting strong occupancy and consistent demand.
Looking ahead, the Board of Directors has proposed a dividend distribution of AED 550 million (equivalent to 4.2 fils per unit) for the second half of 2025. Subject to unitholder approval at the Annual General Meeting scheduled for March 9, 2026, the payout is expected in April.
With these results, Dubai Residential REIT continues to demonstrate strong fundamentals and confidence in the future of Dubai’s real estate market.
