Our UAE Real Estate Market Review for Q3 2026 is out now!
Supported by continued non-oil economic growth, the UAE real estate market maintained momentum, with performance varying across sectors and emirates.
Office occupancy reached approximately 95% in Dubai and 96% in Abu Dhabi, sustaining rental growth as demand continued to outpace supply. Dubai’s residential market showed signs of normalization, while Abu Dhabi continued to benefit from strong off-plan demand and growing international investor participation.
Meanwhile, hospitality continued its recovery, prime retail assets maintained high occupancy, and demand for Grade A warehousing supported further growth across industrial and logistics markets.
What do these trends mean for investors, occupiers and landlords? Explore the findings in our latest report: cbre.co/4kvSjkY

Where could the next wave of business growth come from?
Allard de Monchy discusses what’s ahead for the region and the sectors he’s watching.
Industrial & Logistics enters its next phase of growth. New supply remains a priority as the sector continues to grow and mature. Anna Worboys shares her perspective on the sector’s evolution and why she sees an exciting few years ahead.
Wanda Lizakowska, a director in our Property Management team, speaks to The Built Environment on why operational foresight is essential to protecting asset value and delivering a seamless occupier experience. Bringing operational teams into the early design stages helps developers anticipate everyday needs, avoid costly inefficiencies and ensure buildings deliver on their promise long after handover.
Opening a retail development takes a lot more planning than you might think.
With a preleasing target of 60–70% occupancy before opening, timing is everything. In the latest clip from Commercial Conversations, Zeynep Sarsar explains why starting the preleasing process early matters and what needs to happen well ahead of launch.
Investment activity continues to gain momentum despite regional uncertainty, with capital increasingly targeting logistics infrastructure, manufacturing expansion, and institutional-grade industrial assets.
Abu Dhabi’s growing position as a global financial and technology hub is driving significant demand across its office market.
With office occupancy reaching 96.4% and Prime rents rising 28.8% year-on-year, demand continues to outpace the availability of high-quality space, particularly within ADGM.
Our latest Abu Dhabi Finance Sector Report 2026 is now live, exploring the investment trends, financial sector growth and market dynamics shaping the emirate’s next chapter.

Supporting Those Who Keep Our City Moving.
On Monday, colleagues from our Dubai office came together for a volunteering activity in partnership with “Companies for Good”, packing and distributing care gift bags for Talabat drivers as a small gesture of appreciation for the work they do every day across our community. After assembling the bags in the office, volunteers headed out to personally hand them over to drivers in the area, taking a moment to thank them for the role they play in keeping our communities connected and moving every day.
It was a simple activity, but one that reflected the power of coming together to make a positive impact. Thank you to everyone who volunteered their time and energy to support the initiative.
Industrial fundamentals strengthened into Q3 2026, with rental growth persisting across key logistics hubs. Occupiers continue competing intensely for a limited pool of immediately available Grade A warehousing space, according to Matthew Green, Head of Research.
