The luxury real estate in Dubai has continued to attract global celebrities in 2025, with ongoing announcements of billion-dirham deals reflecting the strong confidence in the sector, as well as the country’s overall business and tourism environment.

Key takeaways:

• Celebrity Investors Fuel Demand – Stars like Terry Crews, Aymeric Laporte, and Andrea Bocelli are investing in Dubai’s luxury real estate, boosting global interest.
• $25M+ Deals on the Rise – 12 ultra-luxury homes sold for $25 million or more in Q1 2025 alone.
• Market Hits $1.9B in Q1 – Dubai sold 111 luxury homes worth $1.9 billion in just the first three months of 2025.
• Continued Growth Expected – Limited supply and strong demand from wealthy buyers are driving ongoing market expansion.

According to statistics based on data from the Dubai Land Department, Hollywood star Terry Crews officially signed a contract on Wednesday to purchase his first luxury residential unit in Dubai, located within the “Binghatti Aquaris” project, owned by Binghatti Developers — a company that recently listed sukuk on Nasdaq Dubai.

In this context, a report by Bloomberg News highlighted that luxury real estate market in Dubai has continued to flourish during the first quarter of 2025, driven once again by wealthy buyers making record-breaking purchases of homes valued above $10 million.

The report noted that 12 homes were sold in Q1 alone, each valued at $25 million or more. The luxury property boom in Dubai has persisted into 2025, with affluent investors pushing sales of $10M+ homes to record levels.

In February, Spanish football star and Al-Nassr player Aymeric Laporte joined the list of celebrity investors in Dubai’s real estate sector after signing a purchase contract for a residential unit in the Bugatti Residences project by Binghatti Developers.

This move followed a similar deal in January, when world-renowned opera singer Andrea Bocelli signed a contract to purchase a luxury residential unit also within the Bugatti Residences project.

During the first three months of 2025, a total of 111 homes were sold in Dubai with a combined value of $1.9 billion, representing a 5.7% increase compared to the same period last year, according to research and real estate consultancy firm Knight Frank.

Additionally, around 12 property sales in Dubai exceeding $25 million each were recorded during the first quarter.

The luxury real estate sector in Dubai is expected to continue its strong growth throughout 2025, driven by robust demand, limited supply, and a steady influx of high-net-worth individuals, according to a new market study.
