This highlights strong investor confidence and the accessibility provided by flexible, low-cost digital solutions. Investors represented 44 nationalities, and the average individual investment amounted to AED10,714 ($2,917).
As the region's first platform of its kind, the initiative continues to draw significant interest, with the waitlist exceeding 6,000 requests.

The initiative aims to broaden the real estate investor base while enhancing transparency and accelerating transaction processes, aligning with the Dubai Real Estate Strategy 2033 goals and the Dubai Economic Agenda D33.
