Women are becoming a growing force in Dubai’s real estate boom.
Female investors accounted for $32 billion of Dubai real estate transactions last year and women represent 34% of the city’s real estate investors, Arabian Business reports.
Initiatives like Dubai Land Department’s Real Estate Empowerment Program and Brokers Program have already drawn more than 1,000 women into the sector and boosted female representation in brokerage.
The DLD also has plans to promote a flexible investment environment through tailored financing, training, and awareness programs to support women-led ventures.
