W Capital, a real estate brokerage based in Dubai, confirmed that the launch of the Dubai Metro's Golden Line represents a strong strategic boost that will enhance the momentum of the emirate's real estate sector and solidify its investment appeal in the coming years.
The brokerage noted that major infrastructure projects, particularly advanced transportation networks, are a cornerstone in reshaping the real estate landscape by increasing the value of the areas they serve and boosting demand. This, in turn, supports growth in demand, enhances investment returns, and reinforces Dubai's position as one of the world's leading destinations for real estate investment.
His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum announced the launch of the Dubai Metro's "Golden Line," one of the emirate's largest transportation projects. Spanning 42 kilo meters and investment of AED 34 billion, the line will connect 15 strategic areas, serving approximately 1.5 million people, and supporting more than 55 real estate projects currently under development. It is to be completed by September 2032.
“This massive investment will give a significant boost to Dubai's real estate sector with impacts directly reflected in the real estate investment landscape in the near and mid-term future, and will contribute to an unprecedented expansion of the emirate's urban areas,” said Walid Al Zarooni, W capital CEO.
"Major infrastructure projects, especially metro networks, have always been among the most important factors reshaping the real estate market. The Gold Line will enhance the attractiveness of the areas it traverses, both for residential and investment purposes, and will boost their competitiveness compared to other areas," Al Zarooni added.
The CEO said: “We expect to see a gradual rise in property prices, especially in areas near metro stations, due to increased demand from investors and end-users, as accessibility and mobility have become key factors in purchasing decisions.”
He pointed out that the project will give more than 55 associated real estate projects a clear competitive advantage, both in terms of faster sales and better returns, noting that investors now prefer assets linked to advanced and sustainable infrastructure.
Al Zarooni also explained that the Gold Line will contribute to expanding real estate investment in Dubai by bringing new areas into demand, thus achieving a kind of market balance and relieving pressure on traditionally densely populated areas.
He believes that the project will also support the long-term stability of the rental market, due to increased demand for housing in metro-served areas, which will positively impact occupancy rates and investment returns.
“The connection of real estate to modern transportation networks enhances the sustainability of demand, both in the sales and rental sectors. Residents today prefer to live in areas that offer easy access and reduce reliance on private vehicles, which directly impact the stability of long-term investment returns,” he said.
Al Zarooni also pointed out that international investors view major infrastructure projects as a key indicator of economic strength and sustainable growth. This reinforces their confidence in Dubai's real estate market and encourages them to expand their investments in the emirate in the coming years.
The CEO stated that Dubai's real estate market recorded a historic surge in the first quarter of 2026, achieving record transaction values exceeding AED 252 billion, a 31% increase compared to the previous year.
He added that mega infrastructure projects like the metro effectively promote the sector, boost purchasing activity, and encourage off-plan investment in areas served by the metro.
"The Golden Line is more than just a transportation project; it's a strategic investment in Dubai's future. It will have clear impact on the real estate sector in terms of increased demand, higher values, and enhanced attractiveness as a global living destination. Dubai's real estate market possesses strong foundations so as to overcome temporary geopolitical challenges," Al Zarooni concluded.
