Dubai is a city known across the globe for its ambitious and epic structures—from Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world, to Palm Jumeirah, a manmade archipelago fitted with hotels, resorts and residences.
Breaking records and achieving firsts has not stopped the city from expanding, as new developments continue to pop up every year.

Dubai Plan 2040, a comprehensive plan for sustainable urban development, estimates that about 500,000 new units will be added to the city over the next two decades to accommodate the growing population.
Last year, the market saw an increase of nearly 36,000 new units, according to research done by CORE. Unlike other parts of the world where extreme shortages in housing have led to unaffordable prices, Dubai’s steady growth in supply with the addition of new developments, like those listed below, has kept high prices at bay.
New residential structures are being delivered at a constant and rapid rate, but the new developments are by no means ordinary. Instead, they represent a continuation of Dubai’s legacy as a city of spectacular buildings.
Take a look at these new stunning developments in Dubai:
