As demand for a conscious living is on the rise, sustainable development is a growing trend in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). With almost 90% expatriate population, many prefer green, sustainable, quality housing. Thus, developers are trying to meet an increasing demand by using eco-friendly materials and advanced technologies in order to maximize energy efficiency of new properties and reduce their environmental impact. 

There are many benefits for tenants: green, sustainably built properties reduce water and energy consumption, hence significantly lowering their electricity and water bills. Furthermore, from an investment perspective, the benefits are also attractive to buyers and investors: since the buildings are sustainable, have a longer life cycle which leads to a higher rental yield, return on investment, with their higher resale value and enhanced marketability.  

The trend is supported on the governmental level by initiatives like the 2050 Dubai Clean Energy Strategy and the UAE Net Zero by 2050 Strategic Initiative as the sustainability is a part of the UAE’s long-term vision. With added benefits for developers, e.g. tax breaks or rebates for energy-efficient upgrades, reduced fees and faster permissions for green-certified projects, the market is expected to grow further as progressive tenants and buyers are willing to pay more for eco-friendly, energy-efficient homes which are perceived also as a lucrative investment option.
